Doom Patrol #37 (1990)
Fit check: Immaculate
It’s very interesting to see what “alternative” meant back in 1990 compared to how they present the characters today, they have Negative Man dressed like he’s in a Swing Revival band. You can imagine how outdated the language is surrounding Danny The Street. Crazy Jane has no grunge to her look, unless this is what that looked like back then. I can’t tell if she’s supposed to be fashionable or eclectic or kitschy, but she reminds me of a fashionable Jojo character.

Happy Thanksgiving!
This year I brined a ham and a turkey. This was my first year doing the turkey for my family dinner, so I didn’t mess with it too much. Every year I refill my kitchen with new bottles of sauces and use the old bottles on the ham. You could say it’s different every year, or technically you could say it’s always the same recipe
This is also a thing we do
Comic Haul week of November 14th, 2023!
New comics!
Fantastic Four #13 - Amazing cover here. Some rumors have been swirling about who is going to play the FF in the new movie, which has now been delayed to 2025. I think that Adam Driver would make a pretty good Doctor Doom.
Danger Street #11
Seven to Eternity #3
Wesley Dodds: The Sandman #2 - Picked this up for Rossmo’s art
The Life After #2
Alien #1 - We just watched all of these movies, here I will rank them below Worst to Best because I am sure you would like to know.
8: Alien Vs. Predator: Requiem - Bland
7: Alien 3 - Everybody sucks
6: Alien: Covenant - Cowardly return to form when the previous in this reboot was trying to do something different. The flashbacks take all the mystery and wonder away, while adding nothing badass or cool. Felt more similar to a comic book movie.
5: Alien Vs. Predator - Badass and cool
4: Aliens - Badass and cool and has Ripley
3: Prometheus - Genuinely interesting and leaves you wanting more. I would watch outside of the context of this franchise and see it as a great potential start to a new franchise.
2: Alien Resurrection - I wouldn’t rank this as the best film but as growth for the series I believe it was the best step forward and expanded on the concepts of the storytelling structure of the first films
1: Alien - The blueprint, and has the benefit of the audience knowing nothing about the beast.
This passed weekend we learned the dangers of incendiary shotgun shells and dry weather. (We accidentally burned down a few acres of hillside brush). We had to call the fire department, and they needed five trucks. I didn’t take any pictures during the fire because I didn’t know how much trouble we were going to be in yet.
Only we could have prevented this
Obviously I wouldn’t openly post about committing a CRIME but I figure this is ok because we already turned ourselves in and received our punishments. I should say, however, that just because it doesn’t explicitly say you can’t do something on a sign, that does not necessarily mean it is allowed. We did check though!
