Speaking of Marvel stuff, I recently read 2 issues of the current #Quicksilver: No Surrender and the first issue of his 1990s series.
I’m really enjoying “No Surrender.” Good art, interesting character study, interesting superhero action, interesting concept…
The 90s series, not so much. It’s too wrapped up in other Marvel stuff (Wundagore, the High Evolutionary, etc) that I’m not familiar with and it doesn’t feel *focused*.

@zephasaurus_hex @lapis I read a handful of the Hardy Boys books as a kid, mostly the (what I later discovered were revised) ones from early in the series. The only one that sticks in my mind, though, was one from the 80s that had them get involved in astronaut training for the space shuttle or maybe just space camp.
That and I learned the word “jalopy” which was always applied to Chet’s car.
Also ended up trying to sort the major characters from #AntMan (having watched it & then moved onto reading Harry Potter right afterward).
Yellowjacket’s obviously Slytherin
Hank: Gryffindor
Hope: Ravenclaw
Scott: Hufflepuff
@Einahpets Cool! I never got into the LOST fandom, but I watched the whole series & would speculate after each episode.
I actually went on a mini Twitter rant a few weeks ago when someone brought up the “in purgatory all along” theory despite the fact that the finale was *very* clear on that point, at least.
We never made costumes, but my wife made a Dharma Initiative cake for one of the season premieres or finales.
@Einahpets I suppose I’ve been writing a lot about Les Miserables lately, too, but I’ve never really considered myself part of the fandom.
@Einahpets I used to post on comics message boards too, but the Flash fandom started getting fractured and nasty when DC spent 5 years changing their mind about who was going to be the Flash every 12 months. I finally just changed my forum passwords & didn’t write them down so I’dhave to jump through hoops to go back. I kept blogging for a while, but I’ve really pulled back from that in the last few years.
@Einahpets Used to be the Flash (comics, way before the TV show) and Babylon 5. Actually going back further I wrote fanfic for Blake’s 7.
For years I obsessively maintained a Flash fan site with character bios & appearances, starting in the pre-wiki era & keeping it going because I was doing research into the old issues. I still maintain a fan blog, but I don’t write much for it anymore.
I finished the June Rebellion chapters of #LesMiserables early afternoon on June 6, the same time that the barricade fell in the book. That was kind of weird.
Lots of commentary and philosophy on revolution & urban/civil warfare, presented as supporting for the story, but I realize now it’s the other way around.
Read some #comics today:
#Saga #52: The more innocuous the cover, the more apprehensive I am about the story. Interesting character bits, quick reversals and a nasty cliffhanger.
#TheFlash #47: Everything and the kitchen sink that’s missing from the current book, but playing out oddly disconnected.
Flash & Speed Buggy: Over the top.
