@jamessmurray my friends recently had a baby and you unknowingly were able to make this Christmas gift pun possible.

@GailSimone New Krypton. Stopped reading for 15 years until FCBD 2010 when I got War of the Supermen #0. The final page had me hooked. I came back each week for the next issue. Then I went and found and read every single issue in the NK storyline. I have been reading comics again ever since.

@HarborFreight Light Pink. I have a new baby girl & I plan on teaching her self reliance as she grows up. That includes being able to fix things. My wife chose pink as the main color for her room, so I was already considering buying one of these boxes and repainting it pink when the time comes.

@chesscom I’m not. It’s just that the people I win against are worse than me 😂

If you have a license to sell real estate, but you don’t tell anyone about it, does that make you a secret agent?

@GailSimone Held off ondropping off my Amazon returns at Whole Foods because my LCS is right next to one and I was already going there tomorrow for issue 2.

After years of playing the same opening word every day, I’ve finally been rewarded with a one guess solve! I no longer need to obsess over this game.

@GailSimone They did. It seems a little different than the original

[Tim Brooks @SyxxGage]

@GailSimone The trick is to only buy the ones whose price ends in .95, that way you’ll get a nickelback

@GailSimone War of the Supermen. Got issue 0 on my 1st FCBD. So good that I started collecting again. I sought out all of the New Krypton story lead up. I now have a tattoo the Superman symbol in Mon-El’s colors to remind me that in the absence of a Superman, I should protect those in need.

Finally got a chance to watch The Whale last night with my wife. I can definitely see why Brendan Fraser took home the Oscar for it. Incredible performance. Also a wonderful use of the 4:3 aspect ratio to create a feeling of confinement. This film is art at its best.

Picked up the new Uncanny X-Men #1 because @GailSimone asked us to. It was an issue so nice that I bought it twice

@GailSimone If I could like your post twice, I would. More Jubilee!

@GailSimone Grabbed a large haul from @ZappComics. Twitter only lets me post 4 pics, but I also picked up a Superman Confidential 14 issue set, Death of X 1-4, and Extrodinary X-Men 1-6.

[Tim Brooks @SyxxGage]

@GailSimone I couldn’t agree more. If you do a solo series for her, I promise to buy every issue and every cover variant. #JubileeNeedsGail

@GailSimone When the Death of Superman happened in the comics, I opened a black bagged Superman issue 75, and wore to school the black memorial armband that was included inside. #MyNerdiestThing
