Content warning for fat-shaming and, oh, just a boatload of failure to move past childhood trauma.
With the upcoming “Breakdowns” storyline and their upcoming exit, Giffen and DeMatteis (and Jones) got interested in destructive themes. But “Breakdowns” will be about throwing external issues at the Leaguers. JLA #52, “The Battle of the

This was a bit of a mini-saga online last year. An artist did a comic that was somewhat controversial and it resulted in other artists doing their own takes on it.

Bu-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dooWAAAA-WAAA, bu-doo DADADADADADUM, DA-DUM! Okay, we'll get to the Seinfeldian part a bit later. ( In a parallel universe, teleporter Kramer can enter any space abruptly, bad dancer Elaine can shatter mountains with her movements, liar George can manipulate the perception of truth until an enemy’s mind collapses, and observational comedian Jerry…sums it all up in a pithy way that leaves you feeling smarter than everyone else. )

Warning for animal abuse, homelessness, trans issues (sometimes handled with offensive cluelessness), and implied child sexual abuse. Not all in the same story, though, this ain’t Crossed.
“Frenzy” by Mark Waid and Rod Wigham is a tense sci-fi thriller with a dynamite elevator pitch: Which of these six trapped heroes will kill the other five?
( You might think the answer is ‘‘obviously Guy Gardner,’’ but maybe that’s just what they want you to think. )

"There's something I believe Grant Morrison came up with in Arkham Asylum with Dave McKean: that the Joker has super-sanity; he has to reinvent himself every day to try and keep up with all the stimuli the world throws at him that he can't regulate. And I have a friend who's a neurobiologist, and we were talking about stuff, and I read things about people with profound, untreatable depression issues.
"And this guy built a cap that regulates electricity. He had a patient whose entire life was depressive episodes, suicide attempts, institutionalisations, in an endless cycle, and at some point, on an MRI or a CT scan or something, he saw that some part of her brain wasn't lighting up as it should be. And he went to RadioShack and just made it; it literally just pings the dark parts of her mind. And at the time of the article, her life had changed. She had held a job for more than one year, and she was engaged to be married, like everything was different for this woman. It's just kind of playing with all this stuff like, what if that super sanity is generating like all this electrical activity beyond what people are supposed to have in your brain, and that's why he's so thin all the time, he's like just burning like a marathon's worth of calories every day, just being alive… And what happens if you stop that? That's where we meet our boy is in a tube, and because now his metabolism has stopped, he's not wraith-like and thin anymore." -- Matt Fraction

Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday
Mar. 31st, 2026 10:17 amicon_uk posting in scans_dailyIn 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.
The Artemis II mission is due for take off this week, and we wish them well
The newly recovered Doctor Who episodes will be available in the UK on BBC iPlayer at 6am this coming Friday.
"Chag Pesach Sameach" to those who celebrate Passover
"Happy Easter" to those who celebrate Easter
"Happy Cheap Chocolate Egg Eve" to those who celebrate that.
"Happy Long Weekend" to those who celebrate neither and don't like chocolate.
and "We're Terribly Sorry" for those who have to work over the aforementioned long weekend.
Lot going on in real world today, so that's about it.

I have a few tangents to explore with this one! The main story part will be quickish: three out of four of the stories in this JLQ volume are better placed elsewhere (we’ve seen one already). It’ll also be quickish because two of the three characters in the remaining story (Flash and Thunderbolt) can autocomplete the phrase “Quick as a…!” ( Could’ve been three for three if the third character had been the Crimson Fox. )
