Today's news and jokes

In the 1970s, Mulholland Dr. between Laurel Cyn. & Coldwater Cyn. was the peak of illegal racing. Racers handed out this cheeky business card to lure Van Nuys cruisers up the hill to challenge them. The Valleyites, unversed in the road's nuances, often plunged over its cliffs.

New Humble Bundle features award-nominated video games

Starts at two games for $7, Steam scores and nominations listed.

Some best comics of the year lists, including mine

Best Comics of 205 chosen by The Comics Journal's contributors.

The Best Graphic Novels of 2025 according to the NYTimes.

Best Comics of 2025 according to the Beat.

The only comics I remember really enjoying this year (I wait to read collections) were "I Am Iron Man," "Absolute Wonder Woman," and an unofficial collection of John Paul Leon obscurities (including "Karl Malone the Mailman"). 

Also, these were not good (Windsor Smith's Wolverine is such a standout it's absurd) (there's an extended Shanna storyline by Gulacy that has good art, and a She-Hulk one-shot with great art by Byrne), but it was fun skimming them, seeing all the forgotten characters and problematic stories and early appearances by the Image comics crew. I'll never understand why Marvel and DC won't sell high-res scans of pre-digital comics as they originally looked instead of the terrible new colorized versions.  

Finally, speaking of comics, the BBTS has some new comics-related figures: Hot Toys Absolute Batman and an exclusive Hellboy figure by Boss Fight Studios with stylized paint.

Finally, finally, the Internet Archive is currently running a 2-to-1 matching campaign (described in the email they sent out today, not sure it's mentioned on their site).
