In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.
Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.
The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.
Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.
It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.
The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.
In the search for non contentious news (because there's a lot of the alternative flying around) I did find this amazing story about a bucket. but not just ANY old bucket!
Sesame Street will be continuing on Netflix after PBS had it's funding cut
Despite being the nominally "silly" episode about a pastiche of the Eurovision Song Contest, Doctor Who had not one, but TWO major plot reveals, one of which was confirming a long-standing rumour about Mrs Flood, and the other was (for this spoiler-free viewer) breath-taking to see, and a pointed (and honestly rather disturbing) reminder that even this "Post-therapy" incarnation of the Doctor does not cope well with loss. A reminder of ROT13 for spoilers on this one please!

thanekos posting in scans_daily May. 18th, 2025 12:27 pm)Like the first three-parter in the maxi-series, We Are The Wounded, it had a sense motif.
That one was tactile - a serial killer with the inability to feel, and the other antagonist of the story being punished with a lingering injury.
This one's audial - taking place in a very acoustic Gotham City apartment building.
It opens after a cop's been thrown out a window - Batman and Jim Gordon discussing the cop's autopsy, marks on his wrists and neck.
( They're outside the building. )

"This book is about Kylo Ren’s struggle to define himself, and it is not easy for him. It feels like every moment of his life is accompanied by turmoil and pain. Some fans would say that’s because he is not himself as Kylo – part of him knows he’s truly Ben – and the story can be viewed through that perspective. But I think it also works if you know nothing about Kylo Ren other than what you see in these beautifully-drawn pages – that he’s searching for himself, like many younger people do. Of course, he’s also a dark space wizard with a laser sword he loves to use to deadly effect whenever he feels like it." -- Charles Soule
