    I often read his Substack (one of three I'm subscribed to, the others being Brian K. Vaughan and Grant Morrison) and while there's a lot I don't agree with, it's usual food for thought. Any new entry unironically comes at a time when I'm having the same internal discussions about the topic, usually of art and perception.

  6. New #DollarBinDiscovery Episode!

    For some reason, it felt like a good week to take on the theme "Stars & Stripes" and we both found some wild comics from the 80s! Mike fell in love with an issue of Scout, while Jessika badmouthed Santa Claus with the American Flagg Special!

  10. I've been waiting to get to this series while in the Ms of the Great #ComicBook Re-inventorying Initiative - #Micronauts

    This series had it all. Space opera, action, wide range of characters, and the story/art from start to finish was phenomenal. This series got me into #comics.
