Murd has traveled over the rainbow to Seattle (and Vancouver) for Emerald City Comic Con 2019, and in this episode he tells us what he found there. Also: the finalization of Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox, among other news; the opening of some geeky Christmas presents, just a few months late; reading reviews; Muddle the Murd; and other glimmers of gold.

I made sure to throw in some quick DC reviews near the end for @BionicDave ;)
What a tongue twister of a title, @nweathington
It’s an interesting issue and prelude to the Anatomy Lesson, and i believe it was omitted from most of the trade collections of Moore’s run on the title. An error which is corrected on the most recent hardback editions. Hopefully the absolute will do the same.
I like the issue because it does exactly want it sets out to do, Moore’s writing is great and he lays some of the groundwork for storylines that only play out much later in the series. And the Dan Day (?) and JohnTotleben artwork is terrific.
As is that issue of Comic Book Creator.
The error was mine, not yours, @Caliban. My eyes wandered forward in the answer and it took me a moment to regain my bearings.
Many thanks for the submission, sir. You always bring an enjoyable selection of Muddle attempts!
Just a few observations:
The Shazam movie has been screened for some critics. So far word of mouth has been pretty positive. Hopefully this good be another win for DC.
I have signed up for Marvel Unlimited. It’s pretty great.
No matter who is behind the mics this show continues to run like a well oiled machine. Great job by all
I am sorry you feel that way, @BionicDave. I actually agree with you wholeheartedly that DC is putting out some great stuff right now, but I am very behind in my reading just about across the board. I hope to catch up on at least Bendis' Superman over the next week or so and discuss that, along with Heroes in Crisis. And I just received a belated Christmas gift of Miracle Man by Tom King in trade, which is bound to be a glorious read.
Point well taken on the DC movie front. I am not a fan of what came before the current crop of films, but since Wonder Woman, it's been a great improvement overall, and I can't wait to talk Shazam. I know not every episode of the show is for everyone, but just know that I take the criticism to heart, and appreciate your devotion to CGS over the years. As do we all!
