JLA Giffen-DeMatteis-Bart Sears, JLE Giffen-Jones-Robertson. Sorry, I've been overloaded with actual work-type stuff, but the schedule should bounce back soon.
Verbatim opening text: “The ugly one is Lobo. The uglier one is Despero. That’s all you really need to know!” ( This was also how DeMatteis and Giffen introduced each other at parties. )

Last time, Moon Knight had been captured and drugged by Mr. Fear and some guy named Mr. Smith. So who the heck is Mr. Smith?
Art by Devmayla Pramanik and colors by Rachelle Rosenberg, who really deserve recognition for the gorgeous visuals.

Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday
Apr. 28th, 2026 10:53 amicon_uk posting in scans_dailyIn 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.
Apologies, this has to be a short one due to time commitments, but will just say that in terms of over the top dramatics, absurd scripting and bad actors (in oh so many contexts), not even the most outrageous daytime soap opera can compete with the US right now, with special guest star monarchs and everything.

Say what you will about Krakoa, at least the Quiet Council got the hang of how to hold votes.

NS: DC asks if Joker's Batman's soulmate, calls them "toxic BFs"
Apr. 26th, 2026 01:00 pmcyberghostface posting in scans_dailySomething I thought was funny/interesting... the official DC page did a poll asking whether or not Joker is Batman's soulmate and referred to the pairing as being "toxic BFs".
This isn't the first time either, the official Batman page compared Batman and Joker to Netflix's Heated Rivalry. (As a side note, one of the show's leads Connor Storrie has a pretty significant Joker connection in Joker: Folie à Deux.)

Not that I expect this to officially reflect in the comics beyond the usual subtext but it is interesting to see DC embracing it on social media.

Disney on Ice: JLA #57, JLE #33 (JLI 87)
Apr. 25th, 2026 10:22 pmtcampbell1000 posting in scans_dailyJLA Giffen-DeMatteis-Wozniak, JLE Giffen-Jones-Robertson. Warning for just SO MUCH NYC-based destruction. If you thought JLI #11 had a little imagery that hit different after 9/11, you hadn't seen anything yet.
Inspector Camus comes to the Justice League’s old embassy to find Michael Morice cleaning up. Morice may have been fired some time before the UN shut down the whole Justice League operation, but this was his embassy before that, and he won’t leave it in a state of bloody disorder! Shaking his head, Camus uses the monitor room to contact the League, but the League is in wild party mode in celebration of Max's return. So that’s about as productive as discussing anal-retentive tendencies with Morice. ( Or pacifism with Despero. )

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Saturday Morning Adventures Issue 36
Apr. 25th, 2026 07:38 pmzylly posting in scans_dailyThe latest issue of TMNT: Saturday Morning Adventures (which you should all be reading, it is a delight and features nods and references to all forms to TMNT canon), features Bebop telling a sick Krang a bedtime story, set in a vaguely fantasy-ish realm.
And, well, it features a cameo from some fellow Saturday morning stars who are even more lost than usual...

Batman #1
Apr. 25th, 2026 06:30 amcyberghostface posting in scans_daily
"Everyone loves a deeply flawed character with a dark sense of humor… and The Joker’s always been a crowd-pleaser. Happy anniversary to one of the Caped Crusader’s greatest rogues, who made his comic debut in BATMAN #1. Written by Bill Finger, with pencils by Bob Kane, and inks by Bob Kane and Jerry Robinson." -- James Gunn
