That Cameo In James Gunn's Superman

Review: Absolute Superman #9
Absolute Superman #9 came out last week and again showed that this Absolute World is a dystopia where there aren't many heroes and both sides are so extreme that our hero isn't sure he even wants to remain on Earth.

Review: Action Comics #1088
Action Comics #1088 came out last week and continued the look at Clark's earliest adventures as Superboy. I don't think I realized how much I wanted this story until I started reading it. It is the oldest writing tip - don't give the audience what they want; give them what they need.

Review: Supergirl #3 (v8)
Supergirl #3 came out this week and was another entertaining and frankly refreshing look at the character by writer/artist Sophie Campbell. Over the course of this blog's history, there have been plenty of times that creators have been put on the character and it is clear they don't know the character or don't like the character. There have been runs where I have said things like 'remove Supergirl and put in Starfire and this story would proceed without a problem' or 'this doesn't seem like the Supergirl we know'.

Terrificon 2025 Prep
Summer is convention season and my convention is of course, Terrificon.
I have been going to the con since 2017 and have always been impressed with the event.
It is run at a great site, Mohegan Sun Casino. Free parking. Restaurants from fast food to fine dining.
It is run by a great show runner, Mitch Hallock. Hallock is clearly a fan of comics, a 'one of us' kind of kindred spirit, and is present at the show.
And it always has the best comic guest list. From legends to new talent, it is always a long list of guests.
The bottom line is if there is one show I am going to go to in 'con season' it's this one. And this year is no different. You can click here ( https://www.terrificon.com/ ) to get the run down of the show, including the great comic guest list and pretty impressive celebrity guest list too.
For me, we are four weeks away and so that means it is prep time. Who am I going to try and commissions from? Who am I running to in hopes of getting some books signed? And what books am I going to try and get signed for friends who can't attend?Let's start with the guest I am most excited to meet and hopefully get a sketch from.

Review: Justice League Vs Godzilla Vs Kong 2 #2
I am reviewing two books this week. One is a Milk Bone promotion for Krypto. The other is DC heroes and villains fighting giant kaiju from classic monster movies. Let us all sit back and realize that at least for now all is well.
