Only 4 pages, so no room for the Talkie Toaster analogue, but here are the adventures of a robot Abraham Lincoln in a post-human world. Fear of a Bot Planet walked so that this comic could run.

AO3 Link | Small Distraction (250 words) by Merfilly
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Star Trek: The Next Generation
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Deanna Troi & Lwaxana Troi
Characters: Lwaxana Troi, Deanna Troi
Additional Tags: Motherhood
Summary:

Lwaxana is trying to work.






Lwaxana Troi kept a perfect serenity around her as she spoke with the Tellarite Ambassador, despite the absolute mischief rampant in her daughter as Deanna ran through the garden party, evading her nanny of the day.

Said nanny was possibly having a very strong nervous breakdown in the midst of trying desperately to acquire the toddler.

"Would it be easier if you corralled her?" the man asked, with his voice actually full of understanding.

"If you do not mind, Ambassador Thek." She gave him a gracious smile, recognizing him now as a fellow parent. She turned her attention to Deanna amidst the legs of various noteworthy people. For the most part, people were accepting the disruption with grace, even amusement.

Little One? Mother is working, and you are causing a distraction that is not helping me.

Deanna stopped, her eyes peering across the way to her, before summoning all the dignity that a small child could.

"I am sorry," she said, projecting contrition to those who were not mind blind. Her nanny added a quiet apology to the pair closest, and scooped Deanna up to carry her back to the house.

"Ambassador Troi, she will be a credit with such fearlessness," Thek said once Lwaxana had refocused on him.

She gave a small smile. "I give her what freedom I can, that is safe for her, so she can explore."

"Children have a way of pushing their safe spaces ever outward," Thek said, nodding sagely.

"So they will," she answered.

Hot + Cold = Lukewarm: JLA #99-104

Part 94a of 105. Warning for cringe, awful relationships, and NSFW content that looks wilder than it is.

With these next two posts, we reach the end of the Justice League’s “international era,” the meteoric, controversial period that began with the loss of the “Detroit League” and ended with Grant Morrison and Howard Porter’s JLA #1. That era struggled along for four years and change after Giffen and DeMatteis left, never coming close to its glory days. Or even its General Glory days. )

Part 93b of 105. Warning for arguable cultural insensitivity, more savage fascism, and savage slavery. (But no Vandal Savage.)

When we last left our intrepid heroes, a fascist version of the Bronze Age JLA had taken over its reality, which was bleeding into “ours.” And the late-1993 JLA was getting its asses kicked. Hard. It’s all presented in Jurgens’ usual straightforward way, which gives the evil a chilling banality.



The Atom shows back up on the League’s doorstep in JLA #73-74, but before he can once again tell any current Leaguers that they’re a bunch of losers, he collapses. So now this team has Ray PALMER and THE Ray in it at the same time. I’m sure THAT won’t get confusing. )

Argent Comics is releasing a fine art presentation of 'The Killing Joke' at the small price of $17,409. Only 47 copies are being made. The publisher is touting it as "the world’s first giclée-printed comic book" and it comes in a deluxe camera case.

Even if I could afford such a thing I can't imagine even flipping through a $17k book. In my opinion the camera case is overkill as well, a nice fancy traycase would have been just as effective.

Warning for horrific brutality, torture, fascism, slavery.

*Also, length. This update ran so long that I’m splitting it into two installments, even though that mucks up my numbering and scheduling a little. The second installment will run tomorrow!



Dan Jurgens, like John Byrne, is a neo-traditionalist: his work shows strong Silver Age influences but is splashy and of its time. Most of it boasts a direct simplicity, a sort of purity. Which is why the “Destiny’s Hand” arc is a shock: it lets him indulge those influences…but also shows a subversive streak well out of his usual register.

He doesn’t have a character say, ‘‘Those armbands are stupid! WE ALL KNOW SUPES IS COMING BACK!,’’ but that’s the vibe. )

so that's a number

5300 works on AO3.

Can anyone imagine how high it would be if I hadn't grouped ficlets and drabbles back when I archived all my old fic?

Considering how he seemed to regard Max Lord’s Justice League, one might expect Superman to hallucinate this in his last few minutes of life:

ICE: Whoa, I can’t believe you won, Superman! Doomsday seemed like he was too much even for you!
SUPERMAN: I…(haff)…I did what I had to, Ice…it’s only what any COMPETENT superhero would have done…
GUY: Yeah, it’s almost as rocksauce as how I woulda done it!
ICE: Here, let me ice your wounds. Your body clearly needs… 💖 lots of attention 💖 …
MAXIMA: A magnificent demonstration of f#ckability, Kryptonian. [shoves aside Ice, who flies through the air and falls into a dumpster] Now, we bang.
‘‘BLOODWYND’’: I am also impressed. Or am I? I refuse to tell you anything about myself. I am…me. That is all you need to know!
BOOSTER: Hold still while I get a victory selfie with you, Supes!
SUPERMAN: Ack…(choke)…
FIRE: Oh, me next! My new costume’ll really pop if we get Doomsday’s bloody corpse in the background!
BLUE BEETLE: Hope you don’t mind, I just sold the rights to Doomsday’s body as the site of a new casino!
SUPERMAN: I…I can’t take it anymore…kkkkkkk…kk.
BLUE BEETLE: …Supes?
GUY: Wow. What a wuss! )

In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.

Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.

The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.

Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.

It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.

The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.

Banksy admitted that a new work in London is indeed his. Not always a fan of his work, but this one "Blinded by the Flag" is pretty nifty, if not exactly subtle.

What I have to assume is the end of Season 1 of "Maul: Shadow Lord" happened, as there's a lot of setup for a Season 2. The mother, father and several uncles and aunts of a sabre duel happened, with six characters involved, which must have been quite the challenge for the animators speciailisng in spinning, flipping and hacking. Yet again, I find myself wishing they would be a little more specific about dates in these spin-offs as I was surprised that one character was apparently having their first meeting with... another significant character (as they had no idea who they were)

Finally caught up with "Project Hail Mary", loved it.

Oh, and a note that parts of the UK have Local and General elections this week so we actively encourage you to exercise your vote and make sure you have your say in civil matters.

Summary:

Leia asks a question.






"Would you follow him again?" Leia asked as she watched Luke working on a servo for Artoo. Luke paused, looking up at the woman he'd been infatuated with by a clip of a recording, one that he now knew was his very own twin.

He thought about all the ups and downs they had seen, the fall of the Emperor, the more shadowy war against Thrawn's Imperial Remnant, and he smiled brightly.

"Over and over again, Leia. That little adventure might have had a lot of tragedy for all of us, but… we're here, we're family, and we are together."
