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.

I will note that the decision to pave over the White House Rose Garden whilst also planning a new massive gold trimmed ballroom says something about POTUS 47's sense of aesthetics, and what it says is a word I won't use in mixed company.

On the good news side, London's Trans Pride event for 2025 had a reported 100,000 in attendance.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day got a teeny, tiny ilttle teaser and does seem to showcase a more classic Spider-suit than we've seen in a while.

Eyes of Wakanda seemed to drop without any warning at all. I didn;t even know this was a thing that was happening until this dropped.

(Okay, both of those were sort of ON topic, but I can live with the shame)
