You and the crew made the right call for the take the show settled on but I really love this one as the version of Superman who'd be played by Lucas Lee and stars in energy drink commercials.
kris anka@kristaferanka.bsky.social · 4w agoSo starting with one of the bigger characters I did for #myadventureswithsuperman s3, but probably the safest to spoil just in case Here is my work for Cyborg Superman. The ask upfront was to have like, a "cool" Superman, but also something that felt corporate or military.
very good year for superhero TV, good enough that you could see this and go ‘yeah, we’re getting bangers like’ and then name a bunch of shows that aren’t what I’m thinking of
I’m getting flashbacks to 10 years ago when another classic character that shouldn’t know what a smart phone is suddenly had one
Sora with a regular cell phone is actually fucking me up more than all the other 'this is the realistic universe' signifiers. Him having normal sized shoes is horrifying but obvious, this is a much subtler little 'that should not be an object he is capable of perceiving nevermind interfacing with'.
the electric bill is $300 in 5 days short of a shutdown and i'm not even confident in paying rent as is. help if you can, things have been shitty for a bit out there
Between AbsWW and MAWS Superboy I think Buster Swords work better for superheroes than regular swords, because regardless of intent the latter communicates ‘that superhero is ready to decapitate someone on a moment’s notice’ and the former ‘their combos have a +3% chance of dealing critical damage’

Just gotta hope they remember to make a sequel to any of those soon, rather than waiting another five years to check in on the fellas
It’ll never regain the cultural cache it blew nor does it deserve to, but between Thunderbolts, Fantastic Four, and now Spider-Man, it may be time to face the possibility that the MCU is once again pretty consistently capable of putting together a good One Of Those, Doomsday notwithstanding.

Anyone near Seattle Center please hunker down and be safe
Holly Green@winnersusedrugs.bsky.social · last mo.Jesus Christ there was just a shooting a block from here at Seattle Center during the Bite of Seattle festival, reports are saying at least six victims, medics are performing CPR. Good god and fuck damnit
The framing of this as "crashing" frustrates me, because this was absolutely a stunt arranged through & with the support of Comic Con, probably to avoid the protests & pushback if people had known about it in advance. It's not a fun perk for fans, it's stealth marketing of a domestic abuser.
USA TODAY@usatoday.com · last mo.Johnny Depp surprised fans at Comic-Con by showing up unannounced at an unrelated panel in character as Ebenezer Scrooge.

Minor My Adventures With Superman spoilers: as the BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS JON KENT FOREVER sicko holdout, I still did not think in a million billion years we’d ever see any kind of riff in any medium on ‘he saves/ensures the future by forming the United Planets’. Absolute maniacs.
David Mann@davidmann95.bsky.social · 2mo agoMy Adventures With Superman has made me cheer and choke up for characters with approximately 1/4th the conceptual grist for the mill as Lois and Clark’s nice extremely traumatized son (Teen) Jon Kent, literally was not allowing myself to even hope for it. Bendis era vindication at long last.
BAH! Enough talk! My <Beam Blast> shall make short work of you!
