NS: "Dilbert" creator Scott Adams dies

"Scott Adams, the conservative creator of the Dilbert comic strip, has died at the age of 68.
 

Earlier this year, Adams announced that he had been approved for the drug Pluvicto to treat metastasized prostate cancer. His death was confirmed on his Rumble video site.

"But they have dropped the ball in scheduling the brief IV to administer it, and I can't seem to fix that. I am declining fast," Adams wrote earlier this month. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Adams that President Donald Trump wanted to help overcome his difficulties with an insurance company."

Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday

In 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.

Honestly, even I weren't in a rush today, I'd likely actively avoid mentioning the news because... there's just so damn much of it

So please away you go.

I will mention that I finally got around to watching TRON: Ares and whilst the career, and apparent appeal, of Jared Leto continues to baffle me somewhat, it LOOKED absolutely gorgeous!

“VAMPIRES? Ridiculous”--The Martian Manhunter*: JUSTICE LEAGUE AMERICA #31, …EUROPE #7 (JLI 42)

*(a 3,000-Year-Old Meditating Alien Detective/Interpretive Dancer/Brawler/Commanding Officer Who Wears X-Suspenders Across His Bare Chest)



Adam Hughes joined Justice League America with this issue, and a couple of costume redesigns showed his influence right away. ‘Hughes’ seems like more of a COLORIST’S name, though, wouldn’t you say? )

NS: Sebastian Stan cast as Harvey Dent/Two-Face

 

The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that Sebastian Stan will be playing Harvey Dent in The Batman: Part II.

Bucky jokes aside I think this is great casting.

Absolute Batman #15



“The Joker to me is always the opposite of Batman. So if Absolute Batman is this thing, Joker would become a billionaire with all the resources, who is telling Bruce, ‘Well, you’re not going to become anything,’ and then it becomes, who would he put in Batman’s way? Well, Joker plays both sides, so he creates crime and creates the means to stop crime. He’s always playing us, and the Joker issue explains what a clown is and why the Joker loves them… If Bruce is Joker now, and he is chaos and he is disruption, then Joker is the system and order. That means Joker would have a Batcave, he would have a mansion, he would be handsome, and be a socialite. Maybe he has Robins!” -- Scott Snyder

Absolute Green Lantern #9 - "Goldface"

image host

It's quite a seat-of-the-pants book. I told you I had plans very far ahead. Are there sort of waypoints? I kind of know where we need to be by this issue. I know where we need to be by this issue... I'm still gonna sit down and, like, start writing a new issue. I'll suddenly think, ‘Oh, what if I threw this in there?’ I threw Terry Long into an issue. Not for very long. Nobody needs to worry. But I threw him in it for an issue. -- Al Ewing

L'École des Farceurs: JUSTICE LEAGUE EUROPE #6 (JLI 41)



The official line was that Justice League America would be the funnier title and Justice League Europe would be the more serious one, but things weren’t working out that way so far. As JLA #30 took that title to new depths of darkness, JLE #6 was Giffen and DeMatteis’ most ridiculous issue yet, its plot shamelessly engineered for maximum absurdity. Rumiko Takahashi couldn’t have done it better. )

Venom #252-253

image host

It all stemmed from wanting to do something to celebrate Venom reaching issue 252–the number in which in Amazing Spider-Man Spidey started wearing the symbiote. When I suggested we put Venom in a red and blue costume, I was only kidding…but so many of the best ideas start as jokes! Everyone loved it. I got Luchiano to design it because hot damn he is great at that. There are so many great details in there. I then took that design to writer Jordan Morris, who came up with the character and story to go with it. That story will be a backup in the issue and introduce this new Venom to the world! But we weren’t done with the design yet–Al Ewing ALSO loved the look of it and the celebration, so he cooked up an excuse for MJ to rock that look in 616 as well! -- Jordan D. White
