Join in the summer fun! Before we go check out the movie, here's a number from Stray Kids, including skits with the stars of Deadpool/Wolverine!

The Best Amazing Spider-Man covers of the 1980s

I think this may be, by some slim margin, the best cover of Amazing Spider-Man, the Marvel title that began publication in 1963. I'm going to include cover credits, where I know them. This one's by John Romita, Jr. I hope this brings back so many memories, or is at least very fun for fans of Spidey and comics in general! ASM #226 This has got to be one of Marvel's best covers of the decade! From 'Daydreams'- isn't this hilarious? Jonah in a track suit AND smoking a cigar. It's John Romita, Jr. again. You just can't leave out this dramatic second part of the most famous single Spider-Man storyline of the 80s, Kraven's Last Hunt. The mini-series was drawn by Mike Zeck and, I believe, inked by Bob Wiacek. It ran across all three Spider-Man titles, each week!

You always have Jesus and the Holy Ghost and all sorts of benevolent possibilities for company.

Let peace and tranquility reveal themselves as quantities and qualities already present in your life. We only need touch'em. Just give yourself a break as a creature. Turn off the fight or flight. Reward yourself with the bliss found in inner quiet. IF it feels like post-partum or something, any reason is OK to seek out therapy.

How Ultimate Spider-Man 2024 Became the 1st new comic I've bought in years (and why you might buy it, too): a personal story.

Overnight, I was thinking: Instead of video games, I like to unwind with books. But if I really want to let go, it's comic books- preferably from the 20th century. I won't go into 'why,' besides it's a cheap bit of time traveling plus escapism. I like to see the weigh stations of the times, the way comics integrate influences from years before I was born with voices of their times, which are now before many of YOU were born. I love the way art and text together tickle my brain, ping-ponging between right and left hemispheres in a way Grant Morrison described so beautifully in the non-fictional SuperGods . There's a delight in execution, certainly a hint of nostalgia to stir a lifetime of remembrances, a love for this four-color trash made by an industry that always expected its demise the next year, making pamphlets that might survive to a yard sale for a quarter or so each, if not just tossed before the silverfish struck. I've met, interviewed (es
