Stressful week
Luckily for comics, my go to comfort (movies too)
Psylocke Ninja was an excellent read, I love how they place the story in between some already stories from before and the last panel got me excited!
[Film Review - The Voice of Hind Rajab]
I walked out of the cinema feeling broken in a way I was not prepared for. For ninety minutes, I was not an observer. I was trapped in a state of helplessness, anxious and frightened, listening to the same crackling phone line as the Palestinian Red Crescent volunteers, willing a rescue that never seemed to come, growing increasingly frustrated as systems strained and faltered while a child waited.
This is not a film I would ever describe as something to watch for pleasure. I watched it because I needed to understand, however imperfectly, what life in Gaza now feels like. We are far away. We can never fully grasp the reality on the ground. But distance is not an excuse for indifference.
We have all read the headlines. We know the outcome. Yet this film is not simply about a six-year-old girl whose life was cut short. It is about the voices that stayed when the world had already begun to move on, and about the quiet heroism of people who keep answering phones in the middle of a war.
The moment that will haunt me is when Rana Faqih, still on the line with Hind, began to recite Al-Fatihah. It does not feel scripted. It feels instinctive, almost desperate. In the darkness of the hall, I could hear sobs ripple through the audience. The prayer is gentle and steady, yet unbearably heavy. It humbles those of us who live in safe cities, who rarely stop to consider how fragile our sense of normalcy truly is.
The war is still ongoing. Lives have been taken. Negotiations continue somewhere far from where the bombs fall. The Voice of Hind Rajab does not offer solutions. What it offers is something harder to sit with, a reminder that behind every statement, every diplomatic phrase, there are real voices still waiting to be heard.
And perhaps the most important thing it asks of us is this, not to turn away, and not to lose hope.
Bought 3 days pass for #TokyoComicCon but I'll be skipping today. A better day spent at Akihabara Don Quijote. At least the staff here understands what you're talking about. A stress free experience unlike the 2 days I had to endure at @TokyoComicCon .
Never again..never again.
@TomTaylorMade it was a pleasure meeting you, if my bud and I knew earlier you were coming we would have brought our comics.
But these signed postcards are a good enough memorabilia from meeting you, you were great!
Keep up the good work
Personal opinion as I'm done and not coming back for Tokyo Comic Con tomorrow

Organizer-wise
#Tokyocomicon
I guess #TokyoComicCon is just for the locals, one who's here from afar to see Jim Lee will just rot in the corner trying to understand what the staff is trying to communicate.
Great job hosting an international event that hardly feels like one
Very frustrating navigating around @TokyoComicCon , tho friendly most staff hardly speaks English. Have gotten a lot of mix information, even information provided like the event timeline was up very late. Wish I was at @SGComicCon instead right now π
Enjoying these Predator vs Marvel Characters run.
Spider-Man was definitely my fav, it had a strong Predator 2 (movie) vibe..just wish it was an issue longer. K
@silveries The Strangers: Chapter 1Β serves as a reboot and origin story for the 2008 film, retelling the original story with a modern twist to launch a new trilogy.Β It establishes the characters and setting in the same universe
