Today we visited Geoffrey’s Comics, tomorrow is their last day, been around since 1977. Longer than the distribution chains have been around. essentially since the beginning of the direct market. Just an incredible shop all in all. You will be sorely missed.🫡

They were mutual influences! Their styles are seen crossing over into each others work and they even had a joint exhibit showcasing their complimentary work! Such as arzach and nausicaa .

We need to hear the audio of this exchange.
Werner Herzog says he watched the first 30mins of ‘BARBIE’ which he compares to witnessing “sheer hell as close as it gets.”
“Could it be that the that the world of “Barbie” is sheer hell?”

Comic shops need to work together and be supportive of one another! We are not in competition with one another, if we’re in competition with anyone it’s Amazon.

Ok I think that there was a cool idea at the heart of this movie and they got Dakota Johnson and Adam Scott but then they were told they can’t say Spider-Man or Peter Parker but they can use Ben, just can’t say he’s Ben Parker oh & can’t use spider-girl or spider-woman by name.
We’re about to watch madame web. Why? Because apparently we love pain.

Did you know Moebius and Miyazaki had a joint exhibit showcasing each other’s work? They influenced each other’s work quite a bit and you can see it when their pieces are placed next to one another.

Oh and you can’t say “ with great power…”
we think Ezekiel was originally her dad but they changed it cuz it was too dark, the villains lines were completely redone with dubbing. Theme of parents and the lack of any mention of her dad gave us a clue something was cut out.

All in all we give it 1 web out of 5 stars . Is it worse than Morbius? If it had a post credit, I think so but that vulture scene took morbius over the threshold of campy fun and straight into a confusing zone of ip delirium.

Lol ok so to clarify, we never intended on trademarking it, so I guess it’s technically not an “official mascot”, it’s just a design, we’re just having fun with public domain characters. I guess mascot implied we will have like a trademark and a costumed person or something.
New year new look!
