Reputation would suggest the 1980s' Suicide Squad offered a grim brand of super-action: among regular comic-book series, it was notorious for its high number of protagonist fatalities. And we're talking permadeath here, not just "everybody dies right before the reboot."

Though it might come in fifth now, after RISING STARS, STRIKEFORCE: MORITURI, Marvel’s TRANSFORMERS, and maybe 100 BULLETS. I’m probably forgetting at least one. )

In the FF "Atlantis Rising" storyline, Atlantis rose.



Sorry, couldn't resist. As I've said elsewhere, I'm not really interested in the main plots of DeFalco FF; my focus is on the relationship subplots. So we're cutting ahead to Fantastic Four #406, in which--at long last--the team latches onto some convincing evidence that Reed Richards is still alive.

He was under the couch cushions the whole time! )

Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday

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.

However, it would feel inapporpriate not to acknowledge that this is the second anniversary of the attack on Israel by Hamas, which has led to the massively destructive war in Gaza.

Tonight is the first supermoon of 2025, the Harvest Moon. Though our community here is scattered across the globe, and we all see a slighty different assortment of constellations, we all see the exact same moon in our skies, which is a lovely thought, no?

Britain, and the world, lost three remarkable, and remarkably different, ladies in the arts and sciences this week.

Primatologist, anthrolopologist and outspoken environmental activist Jane Goodall, whose six decades plus career studying chimpanzees transformed an entire field of science.

Superb character actress Patricia Routeledge, perhaps best known as the magnificently monstrous social climber Hyacinth Bouquet (Spelled "B-U-C-K-E-T") though personally I was always more partial to her role as a retired housewife turned PI in Lancashire's "Hetty Wainthropp Investigates".

And Jilly Cooper, whose writing career led to the creation of an entire romance sub-genre know as the bonk-buster.

Oh, and if you're looking for something gentle, beautiful and thoughtful to read, Charlie Mackesy's sequel to 2019's "The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse" (Which I know helped me, and others, get through some dour times in 2020) just arrived in shops this week, called "Always Remember: the Boy, the Mole, the Fox, the Horse and the Storm"

kalloway: Dextera and Sinistra from Kiddy Grade sititng back to back (Dex & Sin 2)
Kissdum R Engage Planet - I almost feel like reading about the production of this series is as interesting as the series, also wtf this actual show. Kissdum is a 2007 Satelight anime with mecha designs by Shoji Kawamori, also it is not actually a mecha anime and I don't know what it is. It might've, at one point, been a mecha anime but it's basically the poster child for Troubled Production. Anyway, I actually want to watch this again someday.

Dive!! - this is not actually a Free! rip-off, I swear. But it's mostly-naked anime boys diving so it's... a lot of what you'd expect. This has pretty terrible reviews and I actually ended up really liking it.

VC Andrews Four-Film Collection - a Lifetime collection of Flowers in the Attic, Petals on the Wind, If There Be Thorns, and Seeds of Yesterday. Are these faithful to the source material? Yes and no. Flowers was okay, but Petals is impossible to squeeze into a made-for-tv movie and they cut a lot. Honestly, Petals is a really dense book, and I never much liked Thorns... It's probably been three decades since I've read the lot of them and don't actually remember much of Seeds but it seemed okay. The actors are all pretty good.

WKRP in Cincinnati: In Concert - I had a post-it with a note on it from my father to watch this episode, and it's probably been in my planner for a year or more. This is the episode about The Who concert disaster, in Cincinnati, and it's a difficult watch. My father had a ticket to see The Who four days later and still talks about how difficult and polite and strange that concert was.

Gundam Build Divers - I'm not sure how this ended up in the basket to watch, but it did, and the beginning is still a lot of fun and the second half is still an absolutely hot mess and there's a middle in there with some interesting gunpla at least?
thanekos: Seiga Kaku from Touhou 13, shadowed. (Default)
It's four teens, the already unsettling game they're playing, and further unsettling.

One of them opens issue #1 describing herself already shook: " Nothing scares me anymore.

" My worst nightmare has already happened. "

She's talking real-world. )

Weekend Again

kalloway: Strings of Star-shaped lights (Xmas Lights 13 Stars)
A strange week...

September was a decidedly expensive month, so October's personal theme involves being a bit frugal if possible. Nothing is wrong! It was a just a collision of larger bills + events.

This last week was busy: house-sat, had some grout come loose in my shower and had to acquire grout supplies and learn all about grout, got the windows washed (and finally got the screens back in), took the big comforter to the laundromat and washed it...

[community profile] ficortreat is live, as is [community profile] octobercest, though the latter hasn't had any activity yet. I suppose I'll advertise both in the days to come.

Finished up the... 1/72(?) Mailes Kenbu, who was a decent-enough build. I might still get the Ghost from that line.

Working on MG Astray Blue Frame D, and when I get annoyed with her, I'll get back to Zwei? No polls for awhile; I really want to enjoy the feeling of grabbing whatever looks interesting and building it. (Next MG-or-1/100 will be a Wing kit though.) I have another kit on the way as audition for Revenant's backpack since I'm not entirely sold on my current choice. Eventually I'll have to decide on colors. IIRC Reverent was mostly white and Revenant decidedly is not.
