Archie & Friends: All-Action #1 has my favourite story ever in the classic Archie style. It fits the established character dynamics into a world of giant mech battles perfectly. Daniel Kibblesmith deserves accolades for writing these 5 pages. If this was expanded into an ongoing series I’d be reading every issue.

This screenshot captures so much about what I’m loving about Future Redeemed. Mutual aid, Shulk, Rex, and returning to Colony 9 are exactly what I’m here for.

We have a pair of crows nesting near our home and I don’t think I’ve ever felt so invested in an animal’s ability to start a family.

I was going through some boxes today and found my copy of the ephemeral speculative fiction and fact article magazine Spectacle. I believe it only ever published one issue but it was a beautiful one.

The editor has some samples available and might have print and PDF copies still available:

I sent a message hoping to get a PDF copy. The print edition is stunning, with fantastic pink foil accents.

I’m way less likely to find time for paper books I start reading, but the notice from the library that I need to return a book I can’t renew gets me scrambling to read. Today I finished a book that had been on my to read list for at least a decade because of that situation.
