    The Death of Superman

    The Death of Superman

    We wanted to tell the best possible story we could. Nothing more. Kids those days, they didn't get what the Big Guy stood for, you know? They thought he was all gee shucks and apple pie, flying around saving kittens from trees. So we thought we'd shake it up a little, show them his heart pumped blood just the same as you and me. But to do that we needed a memorable villain, right? Something original and not like anything else Superman had ever faced before!

    Rambo

    Rambo

    Bore of a gun wide fires metal through bone and flesh, leaving hanging bits of red and white. Down in the green they die. Or in the mud. He does this so that John can go up close and pull Sarah to the safety of the pathway home. Away from this bitter war. Toward peace and the valley.
    "That we're like animals! It's in the blood! It's natural! Peace? That's an accident! It's what is!"

    On Carnage

    On Carnage

    Splatters of black, flowing and bubbling over rich red, floating islands where the only law is all against all. We have to keep this from getting out.
    Razor edge filaments tendril 'round wrists, slithering upwards and under your eyes into your mind. We have to keep this from getting in. 
    Contain it before it contaminates us. Contain it, if we can.
    "I'm chaos Mistah Kurtz, chaos--and the rest of the world won't admit that it's just like me."

    Ed Piskor - X-Men: Grand Design

    Panels beckoned him,
    Black boarders of potential,
    Now blank, silent, white.
    Ed Piskor (1982-2024)

    Dennis O'Neil - Justice League of America #73-74

    Dennis O'Neil - Justice League of America #73-74

    Dollarama is the source of all cheap comics. But Dollarama is primarily owned by Bain Capital. So is it that Mitt Romney put Crisis on Multiple Earths Volume 2 in our hands? Do we have the Republican establishment to thank for bringing Dennis O'Neil deeper into our lives? Would that establishment take kindly to the message broadcast through these weird tales of sublimated sexual confusion and desire? No one can answer these questions. We know only the bounty of Dollarama and give thanks to Bain Capital for its blessings.
    "Meanwhile, the two Supermen have battled each other, first to a standstill-- and then, to a lie-still!"

    Mike White - The White Lotus: Season 2

    Mike White - The White Lotus: Season 2

    What pleasure is there in waging war against the world's evils? Indeed, what pleasure is there to be found in pleasure itself? We stand impatiently or we strive, waiting for the moment of elation, hopeful that this time, just this one time, time will simultaneously cease and last forever. The high without the low. Or, even better, without the medium in between, where life is without passion.
    Doctors say it is good for us to drain the sack daily. Let life be the judge of that.
    "You spend every second with somebody, and there’s still this part that’s a mystery. . . . It’s kind of sexy.”
