"The CHOICE is NOW! - LIFE or ANTI-LIFE?"

(Panels from a couple of different pages of New Gods #1 by JACK KIRBY, background by me, dusting off my ancient knowledge of the Gimp, undiscovered until these days.)

Do you choose LIFE?

Or do you choose ANTI-LIFE?

The time is now.  The happening is now.  The CHOICE is NOW



Life flowers in freedom

The right of CHOICE is OURS - that is the LIFE EQUATION

The OUTSIDE CONTROL of ALL LIVING THOUGHT -  the ANTI-LIFE EQUATION

Remember

And the information for Supergirl issue #2 has been released:

I'm thrilled to see the return of some great, classic characters here; Lesla Lar, Titano the Super Ape, and especially Lena Luthor!

Sophie Campbell has said that one of her influences for this series is the Supergirl TV series; I'm curious to see how she'll handle things with Lena and Supergirl...



Alternate covers:

[new novel]

Apparently, a new novel from super-genius Elliot S! Maggin was published last year; and I missed it!!

I must have either been asleep, or super distracted by something...



The official description reads

"The origins and history of Lexcorp, the privately owned corporate arm and plaything of the world's wealthiest and most brilliant criminal mastermind!"

(Although not widely known or advertised, Lexcorp was created by Elliot S! Maggin, some time before that 1986 reboot:)


Needless to say, a freshly-printed copy is now on its way to me, and we'll hopefully get mention of this book added elsewhere around the site...

The books of Elliot S! Maggin are available at his publishing arm, Caveat Corner Books.

Believe.

Oh wow, Ryan North. Very cool. That's an awesome cover, as well!

Here's another SUPER title recently announced by DC:

DC today announced a new five-issue DC All In comic book series, Krypto: The Last Dog of Krypton by writer Ryan North and artist Mike Norton, as part of their “Summer of Superman” publishing plans. Krypto: The Last Dog of Krypton is set to debut on June 18, 2025, and delivers a heartfelt and moving view of humanity, good and bad, through the empathic eyes of the ultimate outsider: a poor, lost dog, who just happens to have superpowers.

“Krypto's origin has always been done at kind of a high level," said writer Ryan North. "The little guy starts out on Krypton, ends up on Earth, and helps Superman fight crime. The chance to really define Krypto—to show what a little lost dog would go through if he landed all alone on a strange alien world named Earth—was really enticing. And I also fell in love with the idea of treating Krypto as the actual dog he is: he doesn't talk, and we don't cheat by reading his thoughts in balloons either. Mike Norton’s art captures exactly what needs to be ‘said’ in every scene. Krypto tells us who he is and how he's feeling like all dogs do: through his expressions and behaviour, through body language and barks and snuggles and licks and sighs. Dogs are some of the most expressive animals, and we absolutely love them, and I wanted to tell a story that really captured and honoured these animals—Krypto in particular."

“I’m always ready for drawing more dogs in comics,” added artist Mike Norton. “Krypto is dream project!”
