Waiting for the ghost of Lou Thesz to chime in and say he isn't coming back for one more match.
That said, some billionaire whose grandad was a fan back in the day is going have AI Lou Thesz wrestling AI Buddy Rogers. However, they will demand you pay real money for it.

I've been neglecting my Joshi watching, so after Mania XTRA LARGE went off the air I finally sat down and watched Miu and Miyu beat crap outta each other. It was GLORIOUS!

I think it also depended on where you grew up detetmining access to comics. Being a kid in NYC meant I had newsstands, grocery stores AND local comic shops. On the Upper East Side alone there were 3 by 1983 (Funny Business, East Side Comics and Action Comics) and that was just Yorkville!

I think Le Samourai is fun but that has more to do Alain Deleon being so goddam compelling. Melville could've done a scene where Deleon eats a cheese plate for 10 minutes and I wouldn't be able to avert my eyes!

Rewatched Road House and damit... it is the best low budget action major release of the 80s
(does Highlander count as low budget when you've paid Sean Connerey a cool $1 million, $250,000 to Sir Sean's "Spanish Dialect Coach"?)
There is literally nothing bad I can say about a movie whose last line of spoken dialogue is "A Polar Bear fell on me".

The triangle era of the Superman books were great imo because there was such a huge focus on the supporting cast. Perry, Jimmy, Lous, Ron Troupe, Cat Grant and hell even Bibbo always had stuff going on

Sounds like that period after Mutant Massacre where you had the X-Men, New Mutants and X-Force running around rarely crossing paths despite having huge events across their line

Like DB KAI it will tell a manga faithful update. It's gotta be better than that Kenshin reboot!

To this day, I can look at something Toriyama drew and it just...makes me feel better, no matter what. I'm sad that he's gone, but that feeling I get when I take in his work won't change so long as I've still got eyes that can see.
THIS!!!
Certain artists work hit a specific emotion or sense awe/wonder
Kirby fills the latter slots, Romita Sr could get you to pump a fist when Peter Parker overcomes adversity.
Tezuka makes you marvel at his sheer creativity. Matsumoto awakens a romantic sense of adventure. You feel the passion from Kurumada or tension building to a showdown with Tetsuo Hara.
Whenever I look at something bycAkira Toriyama, even in the bloodiest fight, all I feel is joy

He had so much in the pipeline too!
Advising for DBS manga, Dragon Ball DAIMA was still in development. Work on the next DQ game, the Sand Land game and rumors of whatever is going with Chrono Trigger... he wasn't finished. He could've just rested on his royalties after DB ended but his imagination was furtive.
Hell, before he died Tezuka had declared that Akira Toriyama as his "heir apparent".

I woke up to this news. I'm typing this while trying not to cry. Arguably one of the most important cartoonists of his generation.
I don't have the words right now...

I wish there was a wrestler with a gimmick of being a French guy named Jean Maginot with a finisher called The Maginot Line but he keeps losing to German wrestlers who keep ducking around him

Wait... when La Parka is around Mike is nowhere to be seen. Could Mike Tenay be... Lois Lane, what are you thinking. Sure Mike Tenay is The Professor of professional wrestling but La Parka is... well LA PARKA!
[Pull back to reveal Mike Tenay, back to camera before he turns around and winks]

Got the first 2 volumes of Tom Taylor's Nightwing run and this has been the most dun I've had rwading Nightwing since Dixon/McDaniel.
It's such a breezy and fun read and yeah, it has those moments where I get a little misty-eyed.
I'll wait for Vol 3 in softcover which, given DCs ether induced turnaround (come... back... here... you... rab... bit) will be sometime around Xmas

Man... Matt Houston is a throwback to the rich playboy detective that is sorely nissing on TV today.
I am assume Buddy Ebsen got added in S2 so he could skide into his Jed Clampett voice

Finished The Burning God and man... it has a gut-wrencing ending. I think my complaint in the end is that the protagonists paranoia just feels like it came on too rapidly and perhaps should have been woven a bit more fluidly through the whole book as opposed to it rushing at you in theast 5-6 chapters.
In the end The Poppy War trilogy is worth reading but the rush to it's climax kind of causes to stumble a step or two at the end.

Michael Hayes feels like he could show up on According To Jim as a cocky singer who tries to be Jim Belushi's blues band new singer but gets kicked out when Courtney Thorn Smith finds coke in his banana hammock
