Marvels Snapshot: Sub-Mariner and 2000 AD Regened!

It’s been three weeks since my last post, and I feel like the entire world has changed during that time. As I write this, my wife and I are in our seventh day of self-quarantine. My work is closed until at least mid-April, although my wife is able to work from home. While sometimes it feels like there’s too much big, crazy stuff going on to talk about comics and stuff, I’ve been finding that I need to find whatever corners of normal and familiar that I can. For me, that means watching a TV show with my wife, playing with my kitties, walking on the treadmill, listening to audio dramas, and reading comics. So I thought I would talk about a couple of those comics this week, starting with Marvels Snapshot: Sub-Mariner, drawn by Jerry Ordway and written by one of my favorite writers, Alan Brennert.

Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge

Several months ago, I wrote about the books and comics set at Disneyland’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. I’m pleased to say that this past week, my wife and I visited the town of Black Spire Outpost on the planet Batuu for ourselves, and it turned out to be just as much fun as I had expected after reading the stories. (In other words, we took a trip to Disneyland.)
