@Bryan I just turned on Federative sharing on our Threads account, and will attempt to post there more often as well. We've also been posting the Best of ballot to Instagram and the YouTube Community page. In the future, I may also be able to share a Google Doc with the nominees as a link on the episode release as well.
Finally, there's a chance we might create a Discord server at some point down the road, but that's not an immediacy; stay tuned.
Mulvihill is a great colorist, she's just never been in my top five. This year I'd put Jason Wordie’s coloring on Wes Craig’s creator-owned Kaya at the top of the heap.
It's a short month, better get to reading comics now.
The Rules
Log everything you've read this year. Just edit your existing post or you (and we) will get confused trying to keep up. At the end of each month, I'll start a new thread and you can pick a "winner" from your favorite books. You can focus on just trades, or just write about the good stuff you've read.
I introduced my kids to Groo a few months ago and man I can't buy back issues fast enough for them. They have been giggling for the month of August
Abigail has probably read Death of Groo 5 times since we got it
Most recently, been picking up the Massive-verse trades and just got a subscription to Marvel Unlimited. Started with Annihilation.
Record Store Day here in the USA.
I scored the holy grail of this year's selection "Be A Man" by Macho Man Randy Savage. It's pretty fun.
I got my sidekick " Macho Boy Samuel Savage " a really fun used Pink Panther cartoon record.
My anniversary is on April 26th (15 years) and I got Heather a live album of Stevie Nicks from 1981.
Geez, this has been an expensive week. Just backed the final issue of Roy Thomas' Anthem from Heroic Publishing. There was a previous campaign that failed, so, hopefully, this one will succeed. If you're fan of Roy's, especially his All-Star Squadron, then help get this published.

Finally get to do one of these.
PRetty much down to just watching Impact/NJPW on AXS/WOW and MLW now. Plus my local indies.
Speaking of indies Starting last weeked of this month I am pretty much booked every weekend until April.
Feb 25th The Gulf Coast Wrestling in Long Beach MS-Going down as of right now to film the show with 2 other camera people. But might end up being asked to do commentary.
March 4th Bayou Indie Wrestling in Brookhaven MS-Filming and vending. BIW is having a 4 way elimination match to determine the first BIW Women's champ. Cassandra Golden vs Emmy Camacho vs Promise Braxton vs I can't remember.
March 11th Alabama Wrestling Alliance in Ocean Springs MS-Right now just booked to film. Never been to an AWA event. This is their big Royal Rumble show. Riding down with a wrestler who passes right by my home going to most shows. SHould be fun since I know a pile of the roster. Might even vend if Nightmare has a bit of room on his gimmick table.
March 18th BIW West Monroe LA-Filming and vending,this is Cassidy Riley;s retirement show. He is facing long time tag partner Chase Stevens. Which should be a good match and also got former BIW Southern Heavyweight champ Apoc facing RUSSIAN DESTRUCTION VLADIMIR KOLOFF(no not that vlad koloff from decades ago.)
March 25th Battlezone Richland MS-Night two of their big two night Widowfest event. Every year to honor Pops Williamson BZ has a two night show. I try to hit Widowfest for at least one night each year. They usually book some big names and outside talent.
I know I will be filming but might vend too. The big match this year is for the NWA Womens title,current champ Kamille facing LUFISTO!!! Figured odds are I wont get many more chances to see Lufisto live. It is an hour drive from the house and tickets are 10 bucks if I end up having to buy one.
Then the only non-weekend show of the month.
March 30th SWA in Summitt MS-Just gonna film,well mostly. SWA for years had TV all over MS and was ,might still be,up on the FITE app to watch for free. Was a fun very southern style wrestling fed.
Some of yall might remember years ago how myself,SWA is were Ultimo Gallos was created,and Koby were Video and commentary crew for SWA from when they started back up in spring 2016 until I left in April 2017.
I left after the then majority owner of SWA and I had words. We didn't agree on some stuff, Still trying to figure out how SPeed Racer,TMNT and Scooby Doo=Those Satanic Metal shirts you wear to ever show. I leave and would watch their stuff on TV. But refused to goto any event they had.
Last year in January get a heads up that the guy in SWA i butted heads with was ran out of the fed. Seems over the 4 years or so since i left,and Koby left 2 years after I did,the owner lied and pulled some crap on the roster. Everybody got fed up. And the company was sold to a member of the commentary team. "And Gallos we are coming to the jr college near you. Please come. No heat here with anyone."
Went planning on sitting in the bleachers and just watching the matches with my father and a friend. Get there an hour before doors are opened. One of the guys sees me outside,opens a side door for us to come in. And from then until 20 minutes before bell time I just hung out and caught up with a pile of the guys I was lucky enough to get to know over 10 years ago.
As for this show. Well since the bleachers were not comfy on us old guys,I am the youngest that went last time and I was 48 then,getting floor seats. Asked for front row. Either way buddy is now debuting at this show as a heel manager. The plan is he comes out goes off on my dad. So I get up get up in his face. He goes by "the Brilliant One BRandon Turner" and has a huge bald spot. So I have,in 2 other feds,dubbed him the balding one BranDUMB TURDner. He will then shove me either back into my chair or to the floor. Help build up his heeldom in the eyes on the fans.
Devil Dinosaur 1-3
I used to really dislike this series, but I'm reading the omnibus with the kids. Jack Kirby can draw a cool dinosaur fight. Samuel likes it so much he made one of dinosaurs Devil
