@stclairashley This used to be an app where I could check in on actors and writers who mattered to me. Now it’s 100% inside references to the owner of the company, who I also don’t follow.

@stclairashley Who are any of these ludicrously stupid people and why was this promoted to the top of this stupid app when I don’t follow a single person on this thread?

But after I read the last page of this Dr. Strange, I felt I had personally been shown the intimate workings of the universe… and I’ve never been dissuaded from that feeling.

What was the comic that really got you into comics? Not your first comic, but the comic that pulled you in for life.

I mean, by this time I’d read my dad’s copy of FF 51 “This Man, This Monster”… and I got that comics could be epic, dramatic, touching, and mind-bending…

Six years ago she was making this sign, practicing her speech, and preparing to speak out for her rights in public for the first time. ➡️ Today, she got all dressed up and went to her school’s Sophomore Cotillion.

@DougBenson This is such an obvious answer, it must be a trap.

@Chloe_in_pink I started reading with my dad’s Silver Age comics, so: Kirby/ Lee FF. It seemed 3-dimensional in both character and design. By the time you get to Galactus, it’s an immersive world. There’s nothing really like it that isn’t direct imitation.
