Issue #2'd ended on physical trauma - Enid, one of three going deeper into the VR game Nightmare Cemetery, getting stabbed in the eye.
It was an in-game injury, inflicted by the same thing that'd taken her friend Birdie's brother Pik. He was comatose in the real world - she, waking into it, was bleeding.
Birdie and their friend Wilson saw her the next day.
( " Wow.. what the fuck..? " )

"Wait...We Can Write WOMEN?": Introducing Green Flame (Fire) & Ice Maiden (Ice) (JLI 16/?)
As this JLI retrospective has chugged along, I've done my best to provide some context. But this time, the context is so involved, I figured I should make a separate post that's all context.
For its first four issues, the Justice League/Justice League International series was at a Bechdel 1. Then female villains stopped appearing and Doctor Light stormed out, putting it at a Bechdel 0...until #12, when two new characters rocketed it to Bechdel 3--where it would remain, more often than not, for as long as they were part of the series.
( Also from 2 nations represented up to 4. )

Imperial #4 came out this week, so we're about halfway... wait, the event is over? At only four issues? Is that even allowed?

A classic tale of vengeance from the good folks at EC.

(From Ambush Bug #4.)
Before we wind things up, here are a couple of Reagan portrayals by request, both involving Reagan trying to foster good relations with artificial life-forms.

Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday
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.
For anyone in the path of Storm Melissa, please stay safe!
In the US the wannabe King in the White House clearly thinks Louis XVI should be his role model, with his own Versailles (sans the actual magnificence), breaking off trade negotations with, and slapping tariffs on, Canada, for airing an ad he didn't like and
In Britain our actual King unveiled a memorial to LGBT+ soldiers of the past and present, finally acknowledging their contribution to history, 25 years after the formal ban on them serving came to an end.
MCM in London not only showcased the upcoming Marvel Legends Target Exclusive Diamond Form Emma Frost, but from her packaging, confirmed that we are (pause whilst Icon_UK hyperventilates) getting a Marvel Legends Cypher! It seems likely it'll be like the female New Mutant figure from a few years back where we got one body and swappable heads for Mirage, Karma and Wolfsbane, so we get one male body figure and heads for Doug and Sam. Which New Mutants costume it'll be is unknown, classic )Like the recent X-Men 97 Sunspot) or 2009 run (like the Dani/Rahne/Xu'an figure), or how they will address the fact that Sam should be a head taller than Doug. But still.... MARVEL LEGENDS CYPHER!!!
A Happy Hallowe'en to those who celebrate it!
In that light, it seems apt to report this week that the resting place of Elsa lanchester, the Bride of Frankenstein herself has been located and a plaque will be erected, after years of people assuming she'd had her ashes scattered instead of interred.
I just found a delightful horror based podcast, Monstrous Agonies, which are ten minute segments from the advice section for a late night radio station in the UK, offering advice on any number of social and personal issues within the Creature Community.
Anyone got interesting plans for Hallowe'en?

New Year's Resolutions and Other Goals
goals_on_dw is a community for people who like goals and goal setting. A key focus is New Year's resolutions, that being among the most popular contexts for such activities. Although the most common time is January 1, "new year" can also refer to other calendars or cultures, whatever works for you. Alternatively, just pick a time that works for you and go for it. You can introduce yourself or make new friends here. We talk about different goal systems, pros and cons of resolutions, arts and crafts for tracking goals, human psychology, and more. You can share your resolutions or other goals. There are weekly check-in posts in January, and monthly ones in the rest of the year, for folks to talk about their accomplishments. December-January is the most active period, and it starts ramping up in November as lots of people begin thinking about their goals for the next year.
2025 New Year's Resolutions and Other Goals is the guide post for this years goal-setting activities.
For more details on relevant topics, see "Things You Can Talk About Here."

Newcomers
Trouble is brewing at Bluesky. As a result, there's a wave of new users coming into Dreamwidth. Find your Bluesky friends here.
newcomers is a community for people who are just getting started on Dreamwidth, in the tradition of twitter_refugees and reddit_refugees. This community supports former users of other platforms who are moving to Dreamwidth because their previous platform has become untenable or has closed. As such, it will increase activity with each wave of new users, in hopes of helping them get settled in Dreamwidth so they want to stick around. It also serves previous users returning after a long hiatus, people who want to do more with a Dreamwidth blog that was only intermittent, or anyone else who wants help connecting and figuring out how to use this venue.
