I liked her. The trailer dropped and I didn't quite like the trailer, but I liked her.
Hear me out, now.
I think Halle Bailey can absolutely, 100% work as a mermaid. A little mermaid, if you like. There's just something in the way she's set up ...

JOHN BYRNE
When I first became seriously interested in comics, John Byrne was at the top of my favorite artist list. He drew many of the classic “new” X-Men books, and was the artist on that series when it first became massively popular. The stories Byrne drew (and co-plotted along ...
FEATURED COMIC --> Brittany Hyperstyle
Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, Sept. 14, 2022
Brittany Hyperstyle is a seemingly a sophisticated, stylish woman with a strangely determined belief in the veracity of tarot. It doesn't take long for her to drop her reserve a jump headlong into one chaotic adventure after another with wild abandon! This is the type of randomness and non-sequitur ...

This Sunday we have a milestone announcement from DD member InkyMoondrop:
“Hi!”
“I figured I'd request a milestone announcement. Chapter 1 of Blessed Days will end on the 17th of September (new comics get released every Wednesday and Saturday, so it continues on the 21st). I think now is ...

In Skin Deep, an old comedy/drama by Blake Edwards, starring John Ritter, I found one of my favorite movies for a long stretch of time. I watched it over and over. But the part everyone talked about, with the glow-in-the-dark condoms – I really didn't like that. I preferred ...
