As is tradition, Johns uses the last issue of a Justice Society run to focus on Stargirl - and does a great job with it too. While maybe not a great coda to the series as a whole it does have some really nice moments, including some nostalgic looks at the team in years gone by.

My main takeaway from the All-In Special is that we're going to have a lot more Mr. Terrific in the coming months (thanks, synergy with new Superman movie) and that is only a Good Thing. I guess that Absolute DC thing is pretty interesting too.

Finally started watching Peacemaker - 1st episode was rather fun! I might even get on board with their weird version of Vigilante 😅

Enjoyed Absolute Batman #1! They're definitely stretching the Batman concept, with a little more brutality than one would expect. Alfred as pov character is good, giving us the outsider view of this new Batman so we're learning about him together.

NEW VIDEO! Ever wondered what that terrible, extreme 90's version of Dr. Fate was actually like? Find out in my latest vdieo, where I actually read his two (yes, two) titles! buff.ly/48bhqRQ

Namor's on one of these, ergo I'm happy with what they're planning for the rest of the Marvel set. That they're pretty good reskins is a bonus.

magic.wizards.com/en/products/ma… First full Marvel MTG set is Spider-Man themed. If we can't build a deck based around clone effects with Ben Reilly, Kaine and Spidercide they've missed a trick.

I've just realised the Spider-Man MTG set is going to need a saga card for The Clone Saga. It should produce several Spider-Man creature tokens, and go on for about 5 chapters longer than it really should. Go on WotC, you know you want to. #MarvelMTG

buff.ly/3UoyO00 A very important read - we have a tendency to characterise Moore as a grumpy old man (and there's an element of truth in that, given his treatment by an industry he used to love) but he highlights the dangers of toxic fandom quite candidly here.

New video! A look at Al Ewing's Immortal Thor, focusing on the Roxxon Thor storyarc, and how it examines the use of storytelling as an influencing tool with all the attendant dangers that entails. youtu.be/xFDKiWhxUWk

As I record my look at the new JSA #1, I find that I apparently cannot pronounce 'Justice Society' in any way without mashing the middle sounds together - 'stice-socie'.

New video! Looking at the first issue of the new JSA title - looking at what's driving the plot this time around, what characters have made an appearance, and pondering what's to come. buff.ly/3CeMW5C

Secret Six is back!? While I'm a tiny bit apprehensive since Gail Simone isn't writing this, I'm just glad to see some of my favourite psychos back in action. I hope that the recent appearance in the DC Christmas special was a sign of good times ahead. buff.ly/4gKUY58
