I love that the back half of Secret Wars is shaping up to be
the biggest Reed vs. Doom dick-measuring contest ever.

Wow, Action Comics #42 came out of nowhere.
Superman vs Police Brutality. Never thought I'd see the day.

It's one of those things that make perfect sense but that you never really hope to see because usually comics don't really give a shit? But then they do and it resonates in a way that's so great? Pak has been a godsend, and he just gets Superman.
I just like eggs. I've been eating tons of eggs for ages now. I thought it was a well-known fact that I'm addicted to eggs. Haha
But no, not bulking or anything. I just do a relatively high-protein diet and have an annoyingly fast metabolism.

Cut it down to 6. You're intentionally creating the scenario where there's 8 hot dogs to a package and only 6 buns to a bag!

I think that's well beyond liking eggs and deep into LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVING EGGS! territory.

There are weeks when i eat a dozen eggs a day every day. Fwiw.
What kinda savage eats scrambled eggs on hot dog bread?

Nah, i'm just a cheap bastard in search of cheaper protein.
You'd think so, but in reality it's a big mess no matter what because my parents eat like 2 eggs each every morning.
The way we get around this potential disaster is by buying 72 eggs at Costco every week. The eggs never run out. The way god intended it.
Hmm. Fair point. I accept this.
My man.
MY MAN.
I'm for it!

Have you big egg folks ever considered raising chickens? I mean, I know this isn't possible everywhere but it's certainly not an invalid option in places where it is.
Love my eggs, but unfortunately you can't raise chickens in the city.
I've definitely considered it an option at some point in the future. But I've also considered the fact that I'd probably need a ton of chickens to sustain my diet.
Plus, eggs are cheap enough that I'm not sure it'd be worth the inconvenience of having to keep animals alive.

They have to know you have chickens.

Still reading my picks from this week, but I had to hop back into the thread and say that HOLY CRAP AC #42 was one hell of a comic, and I agree with all of the above. Just super fucking real.
It also had Superman rodeoing a giant shadow monster, so that was fun, the but the real meat of the issue was the Kentville thing. Binghamton is an asshole, but you can just, just see where he's coming from, so he doesn't come across as a caricature, just a man made bad by life. Dante is badass, and Lee just displays this amazing moral courage and...
God, it was something else. Everyone, get on this, STAT.

Ran the math on that once. Eggs are much cheaper. Structure, heating, rations, cleaning crap. Nah. Not worth it.
We have weekly instances of loose chickens here. Someone always complains that chickens are loose or someone had their chicken stolen.

Have to be honest. I don't really like the city. Looking up and seeing all those concrete monstrosities.... It's so weird. I leave my house and there's just open sky everywhere. I feel so claustrophobic in the city.

Well, some of those are less of an issue depending on location, but yes, it's certainly more work at the very least.

Deadly Class today, wow. Another killer issue.
Everyone really needs to give this book a shot if they haven't already. It's incredible.

They do a lot of good miniseries as well, along with bringing over international books.
Words to live by right there.
It takes a lot of sustenance to go around breaking big stones with hammers all day.
I'm not a fan of cities either, but I think it's mainly because of the claustrophobia that comes from the fact that there's unending traffic and there's absolutely nothing you can do except wait it out.

Secret Wars #4 escalated real quick.
Also, we now know the Phoenix's place in the pecking order.

Good thing too, given the kind of stuff he was saying.

I had a neighbor try to do this once. It isn't as straightforward as one would think. As soon as the raccoons located them they became too stressed to lay eggs and it was just a constant battle to keep all manner of vermin out of their coop and house.

Still reeling a bit from Action Comics #42 (read it nao) but I pressed on and read Bizarro and Omega Men.
Bizarro really hit its stride with this one. Utterly charming, somewhat bizarre (duh), but in a very good way. Not sure what's up with Queen Tut, thinking that maybe the staff put some kind of whammy on her? Not sure. The bits with other Justice League members were great, and the
shirt made my day.
Omega Men continues to be a weird, weird book. I honestly don't know what to say about it. I like it, and I'm very interested in what happens next but... it almost feels like the first exposure to a new culture, in a way. It's dealing with familiar themes and ideas but in a fashion that I've never actually personally dealt with before, like... it's got a different set of stock tropes. Very, very much looking forward to #3.

People, spoilers on stuff that just released today very much needs to be inside of spoiler tags. Some of us can't easily read new releases until later in the day or the like.
Oh, I never said it was easy. But I do know some friends and family that have done it and seem to enjoy doing it.

The Wicked + The Divine 12
Decent issue, if a bit all over the place.
Not sure how I feel about Wic Div with cartoonish/anime expressions. Definitely made the gods seem less pensive and mysterious than they typically come across. But it made for an impactful panel during the fight scene climax. Though, the two page spread during that fight was hot garbage. Especially coming off of Wes Craig's next level paneling hotness.
Not really the follow up issue I imagined after all the hot death in 11 but it definitely still had me curious to find out what happens next.

But I guess there'd be less cohesion without Laura.
