With this in mind, please enjoy my terrible and incredibly unofficial Batman comic, "The Dick Knight Trilogy".

Very scruffy comic strip of Batman and Robin. Batman says "Robin, it's time to show you the most powerful move in my ninja arsenal: the Dick Punch." Robin: "Golly, Batman, was it named after me, Dick Grayon?" In the final panel, Batman grins whilst punching Robin in the dick. The sound effect reads DICK PUNCHCrappy black and white Batman comic strip. Two-Face looms over the duo. "Haha! Nothing you can do will stop us now!" In the second panel, Batman and Robin are both punching Two-Face in the dick. The sound effect reads DOUBLE DICK PUNCH In the final panel, Two-Face is in a hospital bed on a drip. A doctor is saying: "I'm afraid the damage was quite extensive, Mr. Dent. We had to operate. You now only have one ball." Two-Face cries "Curse you Batman and Robin!"Rubbish black and white Batman comic. The Joker is threatening Batman with a knife. Joker: C'mon, Bats! Why so serious?! Batman punches Joker in the dick. The sound effect reads DICK PUNCH. The final panel shows Joker crumpled, eyes wide, clutching his crotch. Batman smiles and says "heh"

The “best” thing about genAI (the quotes are doing heavy work here) is that it’s really lowered the bar on getting into hand-made art. Literally anything you make is better than ai. There’s never been a better time to throw away your fear and start learning that craft you’ve always wanted to learn.

I'll talk about #TFNation more once I'm back home tomorrow, but now I'm going to bed on the final night so I'll just say I've had a lovely time and you're all great and my favourite episode of the original animated series is The Girl Who Loved Powerglide.

So I have brought to #TFNation the following Transformers comics that, frankly, I just want out the house (for reasons of space!). It'd be really cool if someone wanted to trade something for any of them, but tbh by tomorrow they're free to a good home. Or I'll gladly donate to charity etc!

Just a last call in case anyone attending #TFNation is interested. I've got quite a few comics that I'm willing to trade or donate to a good cause, including this large collection of vintage UK Aliens comics from the early 1990s.

Years ago, a very nice friend of mine gave me a huge collection of vintage UK Aliens magazines from the early 1990s. But I need the space, so these need a new home. I have the following issues, from 1991 onwards: Vol 1: 1-17 Vol 2: 1-9 & 11-12 Alien 3 special 1

Front cover of issue 1 of the 1991 UK Aliens magazine (based on the film series). There's a huge painted image of an alien - or xenomorph - bathed in flame with the number 13 painted on their face for some reason.

Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) Astounding threading of the needle as the film makes big nostalgic swings, bringing back beloved characters from the multiverse, but does so in a way that makes thematic sense for this Peter Parker. Plus it's really exciting and emotionally powerful. #SciFi2026

In addition to these things on eBay, I'm also willing to TRADE OR DONATE the following IDW Transformers comics: Transformers/GI Joe issues 1-5, 7-9, 11-12 Shattered Glass 1-2, 4-5 I will gladly bring these along to @tfnationltd.bsky.social - either individual issues or the lot!

Cover of IDW Publishing's Transformers vs GI Joe issue 1, featuring Soundwave shaking a helicopter in the air while lots of GI Joe people run about with guns.Cover of IDW Publishing's Shattered Glass 1, which features a Transformer (I think it's Blurr) in close up, holding a smoking gun, with bullet casings embedded in his face - it's an homage to the old Transformers Generation 2 cover which featured Optimus Prime in a similar pose

Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) Really nice Eurotrip adventure with Peter and pals that works both as a commentary on the state of the MCU and also a great insight into Spidey's soul. Some cool, trippy visuals and a great villain, but it's not quite as fun as the first swing. #SciFi2026

An autistic man with a special interest in the Harry Potter series has made the decision to value the lives and dignity of his trans friends more than a book about a wizard who grows up to be a cop, sources have reported.
