Really, it came from something I think when reading those early Ditko issues – how people talk about how horrible Spider-Man is. Now, we see Spider-Man… but they clearly don"t. Doing a story about the horror of that kind of archetype, right? -- Kieron Gillen
I thought “What would Adrian Tchaikovsky do?” and then I add “If he was very drunk and in a bad mood?” -- Kieron Gillen

The Understudies Get Their Turn: JUSTICE LEAGUE QUARTERLY #4 (JLI 72)
Mar. 21st, 2026 09:49 pmtcampbell1000 posting in scans_daily
As Keith Giffen began to pull back, the longest era of Justice League Quarterly (#4-11) would feature other writers following in Giffen’s footsteps…as best they could. The fluid tone of the Giffen League, the way it could lurch from goofy meta to holocaustic grimness and everything in between, could be a challenge to imitate.
( A: Knock knock! B: Who’s there? A: HATE ITSELF. B: OH NO, MY FAMILY! )
Sam Kieth has passed away at the age of 63. He was the creator of Maxx and the co-creator of Sandman.
More info here.
Some art:
( Images under the cut… )
I have spent the entire day thinking about a Gilligan's Island / Odyssey fusion where the reason they got stranded is that Gilligan somehow angered Poseidon.
Tourists: wasn't this supposed to be a three-hour tour?
Odysseus, five years after they departed: yes well sometimes plans change.

Work yesterday left me incredibly frustrated. The ducks that are nibbling me to death have mutated to giant size and with razor-sharp beaks. Because I was so frustrated, I decided I needed to reread one of the most disturbing sets of Hannibal AU fics I've ever encountered: A Gifted Student and A Letter to My Abuser. They're gorgeously, awfully written. (If you decide to read them, pay close attention to the tags oh god pay close attention to them.)
A Letter to My Abuser is, in some ways, the harder read for me, because when I first read it I tried to figure out why I identified so hard with a side character; Ollie, so giddy to meet his literary idol, but forcibly warned/ran off by this AU version of Will Graham. When I read it last night, my brain went "ohhhhh, yeah, Neil Gaiman", and then I had to read some fluffy fic to scrub my brain.
I hope his victims get closure. And that they win the legal actions against him, because they deserve the money they're suing for.
EDITED TO ADD: I used to subscribe to FKAHerSweetness' Ko-Fi, as she left Ao3 and only posted her fic behind a paywall. I eventually ended my subscription because as time went on, I didn't enjoy how she wrote Will. She writes AUs only, and more power to her, but they became something I didn't want to read.
FFA DW Post #2450 - Artistic libergeese
Mar. 20th, 2026 10:59 amsunnymodffa posting in fail_fandomanonI like how there's a whole section of the [wiki article on Egyptian god Geb] about how he has limited to no mythological association with geese and the goose hieroglyph is purely phonetic, but there's the goose on his head anyway.
Perhaps artistic liberties were taken! Goose liberties.

Marvel, Minifigures: JUSTICE LEAGUE QUARTERLY #3 (JLI 71)
Mar. 19th, 2026 12:37 pmtcampbell1000 posting in scans_daily
This is Giffen, Jones,
and Mike McKone’s
story about zones
full of dead bones
and a grieving guy who groans
and moans
when the plan he hones
ends worse than Game of Thrones.
The two Justice Leagues are getting together for an “ice cream social” to mix and mingle. It’s healthy and good workplace management from Max and Catherine. So, naturally, it somehow leads to League-adjacent personnel f#cking around with the fabric of time.
( Last time the X-Men had a casual Friday, it gave rise to a version of the Phalanx made out of denim. )
https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/global-art-banksy/
So we set out to determine how Banksy did it – and who he really is. Weeks later, a reporter visited Horenka with a photo lineup of graffiti artists often rumored to be the artist and showed the pictures to locals to see if anyone recognized him. Not long after, we heard that a famous British musician – one of the people often whispered to be Banksy – had been spotted in Kyiv, giving us a theory to pursue.
Reuters interviewed a dozen Banksy-world insiders and experts. None would comment on his identity, but many filled in details about his life and career. We examined photos of the artist, most of which obscured his face but contained critical information. We later unearthed previously undisclosed U.S. court records and police reports.
These included a hand-written confession by the artist to a long-ago misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct – a document that revealed, beyond dispute, Banksy’s true identity.
And in the process, we learned how and why the man behind the name Banksy vanished from the public record more than a decade ago.

Everything is ugh. My back is having one of its stretches of hurting and feeling fragile, so my life involves lidocaine patches and dipping into the stash of muscle relaxers and heavy-duty pain meds. I've been having an upswing in different types of migraines, and I suspect the main culprits are weather and stress. All I want to do is sleep, and my mood can generally be described by that Charles Darwin quote of "I am very poorly today & very stupid & I hate everybody & everything". With a large side of "meh". I really want a doctor to prescribe the historical treatment of going to the seaside for a week (with the appropriate servants to take care of me and bring me dainty treats while I sit with my feet in the ocean).
Today is particularly ugh, as we lost three writers yesterday and I need to cover their work while we hire new writers for those positions. (Yeah, read between the lines there and you can probably guess what happened.) Thankfully, I talked to my boss and asked how this would work with my current projects, and she told me that my number one priority right now is to focus on the writing/being a writer, and once those positions are backfilled, I'll go back to my Program Manager work. So at least I don't have to worry that I'm being held to two sets of different standards. But still, stressful.
Meh.

One thing that's been entertaining me is going through my Tumblr archives - prompted by a post going around asking people how long they've been on Tumblr oh my god 2010 really?! - and finding a lot of fun content and a lot of pink & black eye candy. But I realized (a bit too late) that I shouldn't read my text posts from 2011, because that was the worst year of my life. Dear Powers That Be, that isn't an invitation to go "hold my beer!" and try to overshoot that. I don't need that.
