The cover of Justice League America #37 is one of Adam Hughes’ best on the title (which is saying something), but it’s open to multiple interpretations.
( Don’t worry, it’s not a Magic Eye poster. )

X-Men #24 - The Age of Revelation Afterparty from another POV
Jan. 28th, 2026 12:40 pmicon_uk posting in scans_dailyWhilst completely acknowledging that future Doug Ramsey as Revelation did a lot of utterly horrific things (and I mean there aren't war crime classifications dreadful enough to describe many of them) I'm sort of loving that Evil Beast's reaction, after returning from the all-life-on-Earth-is-about-to-be-turned-into-planet-Doug dystopian hellscape which Revelation created is not horror, or outrage, or even numbness.

Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday
Jan. 27th, 2026 12:00 pmicon_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.
Though it must be said that that has been harder and harder to avoid. It would be remiss to not acknowledge the growing efforts of those resisting authoritarian overreach, which has led to at least two deaths of late, and likely more. We name Renée Good and Alex Pretti as victims of this situation.
I will mention, on the UK side, more of the more extreme Tories from the last administration are defecting to the very very Right Wing Reform Party. I've seen this described as rats leaving the Titanic to discover they've landed on the Titan submersible. A confused mental image, but I understand what they mean.
The international stage defies any attempt at summary because where would be start, but that is part of the playbook, so let's not and focus on trivialities
The UK version of the Traitors ended with a remarkably tense finale where, with a sort of delicious irony, the Faithful wavered in their support, but the Traitors remained faithful to each other. There's probably a lesson in there.
Masters of the Universe got a teaser trailer which I think looks like a LOT of fun
And so did a series I didn't even know was happening Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord.
Starfleet Academy had it's most "college humour" episode so far, with a prank war breaking out between the Academy and the War College next door.
And Tom Baker and John Leeson are joining together again to play Holmes and Watson in a new audio drama! Which will also feature Nicholas Rowe, who played Young Sherlock in the Spielberg movie back in the 80's!

R.I.P. Sal Buscema
Jan. 26th, 2026 08:12 pmcyberghostface posting in scans_daily
Sal Buscema has passed away. In my opinion he was one of the best 'old school' comicbook artists and his work on Spectacular Spider-Man was a stand-out. I decided to share the ending of #200 which is a classic.

NS: Legendary Marvel Comic Artist Sal Buscema Passes Away at Age 89
Jan. 26th, 2026 07:30 pmcygnia posting in scans_dailyhttps://www.cbr.com/legendary-marvel-comic-artist-sal-buscema-passes-away-89/
“Wow. I just received word from Mrs. Joan that Sal Buscema passed away last Friday. He was 89. Today, he would’ve turned 90. When I think back on my childhood and all of the comic books that I read, Sal’s name seems to have appeared in just about all of them. I didn’t just read the books that he illustrated, I studied them.
Every nuance in his pencils and his inks I saw and tried to mimic. He was definitely one of the greats during those years at Marvel, when handling more than three titles a month was not just a requirement but a necessity. Sal’s art had a direct impact on my own, along with his older brother John, Jack Kirby, Gil Kane, John Romita Sr and Ron Frenz.
Ron, God bless him, was the person responsible for Sal and I meeting some time ago and for that I’ll be forever grateful. Sal was a very nice, kind and generous person who I am happy to have known and who took note of my skills enough to mentor me. The wonderful conversations we had will always be cherished.
My condolences to his wife Joan, the Buscema family and to all of us fans who grew up with and love his amazing art. I’ll have more posts later. – SC”
Taking Inventory: JUSTICE LEAGUE EUROPE #14, …AMERICA #41 (JLI 49)
Jan. 26th, 2026 01:10 pmtcampbell1000 posting in scans_daily
No, I haven’t lost track of my numbering. These two “inventory stories” were published later on, but they seem set around here in the chronology. The first is the first Keith Giffen-Gerard Jones writing collab, with art by the underrated Linda Medley. Her style wasn’t as attention-getting as the works of Kevin Maguire, Adam Hughes, or even Bart Sears, but her down-to-earth approach syncs with the down-to-earth aspects of Giffen’s plotting. She’d do some more League work and go on to her own indie series, Castle Waiting.
Say, did you know film fans could be just as obsessive and antisocial as comics fans?
( ‘‘I’m so glad I’M normal!,’’ said everyone reading this story. )
X-Men #23 - A question answered...
