(Warning for assisted suicide.)

When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gives you an immortal life of busywork. Ever since he glimpsed them naked in the shower, the Gray Man has been collecting dream-essence for the Lords of Order for fifty hojillion years without even a lousy Secretaries' Day card. The work has really gotten to him. We know this because he's gone on for several teaser scenes about how gray everything is to him now (#2, #5, #6):

Why is the Grey--er, Gray Man such a magical threat? BECAUSE NO ONE IS SURE HOW TO 'SPELL' HIM! BWAHAHAHAHA--Oh, right, we're not doing that yet. )

Imgur took exception to some of these scans for whatever reason, so who knows if this post even makes any sense now.

I’m feeling that Billy Joel lyric, “even rode my motorcycle in the rain.” I rode to Femmes & Thems tonight at MJ’s Tavern despite the coastal storm bringing wind and rain so that I could say goodbye to a lot of friends because my time in Norfolk is at an end.
 
When I got home my wife had already gone to bed so I had some time by myself and that’s when the tears started. It’s funny: the Hampton Roads were always going to be a way-point in my life, originally just for 2 years then extended by a year. Knowing this I didn’t try to put down roots like I did in Durham and Houston, yet still I met amazing people and found a place here, I found home.
 
I will miss them, but I am excited for the next chapter of my life in Richmond.
 
This song was on my mind today. It was my high school class’ class song at graduation. It's pretty much peak 1990 hair metal ballad.

If felt it necessary to post this issue as it gives extra context to the Spectre tie-in.

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.

But even so... What a week... and after the past... god knows how long, that is saying something.

The simplest summary of the murder of the Right wing provocateur and influencer is "I don't support the things that led to Charlie Kirk's death. But Charlie Kirk did."

However, watching the US Administration attempt to weaponise his death against some nebulous, ill-defined, left wing "conspiracy", despite so much of the evidence suggesting that the accused (but not yet charged) alleged perpetrator doesn't fit that preconceived notion, is chilling.

And now the UK is giving POTUS 47 a SECOND State visit. As a rather elegant act of protest, our Channel 4 will be broadcasting a collation of the longest uninterrupted reel of lies, misrepresentations of facts, and outright untruths from... POTUS47. It's nice that they have something about him on TV to watch when he's spending the evening at Windsor Castle (I am no ardent monarchist, but even I have to feel a bit of sympathy for the King over the next couple of days)

Oh, and 150,000 or so anti=immigration protesters marched in London, and had the "pleasure" of being addressed by Elon Musk, who was his usual charming self.

In more optimistic news, former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has been jailed for 27 years following an attempted coup to overturn the election he lost in 2023.

Not had much time for TV this week, so am open to suggestions.
