Not familiar with Substack, is it digital-only or do they print actual books?

OK keeping my fingers crossed. Over the past month I have ordered 4 copies of The Punisher The PLatoon TPB off Amazon/Amazon Marketplace. TPB appears to be OOP. So keep waiting to find used copies for 10 to 15 bucks. Order them and a week later order is canceled by the seller.
So hopefully the one I ordered 4 hours ago actually makes it to me.

Was digging through a box of comics/magazines/etc. Found a Tpb and a hardcover I had forgotten I owned. Howard Chaykin's American Flagg Hard Times,pretty sure this reprints in magazine size,the first storyline from vol 1 of AF when First was publishing it. Has a cover date of 85 on it. Still not sure how I got this and it's odd size makes it a bastard to shelve. IDW's hardcover landscape collection of Peter Bagge's 2 year run on Bat Boy comic strip published in Weekly World News. Amazing collection of a forgotten strip.

I had been having on/off conversations with an artist about putting together a comic book version of a Doctor Who fanfic I wrote, his prices were unfortunately a bit too steep, but it has prompted me to seek out other artists, I might change my mind on what fanfic I want adapted depending on what plays to the artists' tastes and preferences.

If it's anything like Game of Thrones he'll get killed off by the second panel.
Oh and Joker and Harley will be siblings who make out

God everything about that 5G initiative sounds like it was going to be a f***ing mess. Didio never saw a simple problem he couldn't make worse with senseless relaunches that nobody asked for.

Most intriguing part of that to me is the Robins book coming out. As a massive fan of all iterations of Robin this is absolutely delightful news to me

Anyone pick up any free comic book day stuff? Here's how Free Comic Book Day panned out for Spider-Man {Spoiler}At some as-yet unspecified point, Ben returns to Earth and is recruited by the Beyond Corporation, taking on the mantle of Spider-Man for a second time. He takes a newly modified costume designed by Beyond into the field when Bushwacker seizes control of a building in Dallas, Texas. Ben arrives to stop him, Bushwacker takes note of the new costume and asks when heroes like Ben ever have time to sew, before training his weapon on his hostages. Ben shields them from a blast with his own body, his costume is made of impact-thickening foam polymers that absorb the energy burst. Bushwacker's arms morph into larger cannons but Ben plugs them with a fist, and the blasts backfire on Bushwacker, severely crippling his arms and causing damage to the building. Ben is horrified and calls in the Beyond corporation, who assure him they will take care of the clean up operation, providing counselling for the hostages as well as a contractor to repair the building.
Ben is impressed with the Beyond corp's services as well as the effectiveness of the suit and agrees to join them. Beyond corp tell him to get rid of his Scarlet Spider outfit, comparing it to something a fourteen year old would wear at a birthday party. Ben is concerned he'll be mistaken for the real Spider-Man, Beyond corp tell him that, to them, he is the real deal

I saw people with bags in Dublin and until just now, I didn't realize it was today.
Boo-urns!
