Yes yes, the cover lies again; no Hellverine, but Robbie Reyes does appear inside, finally escaping from that extradimensional limbo (lower-case 'l').
But the partial-page I'm posting here features Johnny Blaze, finally realising that the Penance Stare ain't worth shit, and instead turning to the ultimate weapon instead:

Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday
Nov. 11th, 2025 08:44 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.
The US Supreme Court turned down a request to review the laws regarding gay marriage, leaving them untouched
A week after series of wins in elections across the country which left the US President furious, eight Democrats opted to break with the party to potentially end the current Governemnt shutdown by the end of the week, though it is unclear what gains were achieved by this decision.
The BBC is facing a LOT of scrutiny for broadcasting an extract from Trump's 6th Janaury speech in an editer format, without saying it had been edited, which led to two major resignations and the threat of a literal billion dollar lawsuit from Trump. Though those making the most fuss about it, might be showing biases of their own.
In the UK the first season of "The Celebrity Traitors" came to an end with some incredibly dramatic moments. There were some suggestions the result was fixed because "No noe could make decisions that bad"... which suggests those saying it had not been watching the rest of thr series because good LORD this bunch were SO bad at the game.
And to end on a fun note, after the recent theft from the Louvre in Paris, attention was drawn at the time to a dapperly dressed stranger in a stylish fedora who was seen on some camera's at the time. The identity of this mystery mas was the topic of much debate. In possibly THE most French solution to the enigma, it turns out it was.... a 15 year old schoolboy who just likes to dress in the chic style of old detectives. Bien joué, jeune homme. Bien joué

Re-Member the Titans!: JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL #19 (JLI 21/?)
Nov. 9th, 2025 10:15 pmtcampbell1000 posting in scans_daily
Last issue, we learned Guy’s personality operates on soap-opera-amnesia rules: a second blow to the head undoes the first. He has announced his return to assholery by paraphrasing Poltergeist II and throwing Lobo through a window.
Absolute Evil #1 - "Absolute Justice"
Nov. 8th, 2025 05:46 pmlaughing_tree posting in scans_daily
Answers inside, along with some truly shocking moments that seem to have taken even superhero fans who've seen it all by surprise - so in the name of all that's holy (or unholy), try to avoid spoilers for this one, even though the task may seem impossible. -- Al Ewing

JSA #13 - The Mighty Atom
Nov. 8th, 2025 07:16 pmzylly posting in scans_dailyI wish I could remember the specific source, but I saw a post about the JSA once describing them as "This is the Spectre, the literal embodiment of God's wrath. And this is Al. He's short and real mad about it."
Well, one page from this week's JSA 13 put me in mind of it...

The Mortal Thor #2 - "Storm Warning"
Nov. 7th, 2025 02:57 pmlaughing_tree posting in scans_daily
Emphasis on "beats", because some fascists take a beating in this one. They take a beating to the extent that you might be worried about whether this is the Thor you know. It's not! It's Sigurd Jarlson, and he's Just Some Guy. From Norway, I think? His neighbor thinks Norway's in Europe. -- Al Ewing

the SNAP trap
Nov. 7th, 2025 12:57 pmkengrThe recent court decisions forcing Trump to pay for SNAP benefits have implications that I'm not sure most people recognize.
In particular his "request" that the courts tell him where to get the money.
This is actually a *major* red flag. He wants the courts to spell it out so he can use their logic to mess with other funds that h's been holding back (illegally!) and redirect money to things he wants.
So that "innocent request" is apt to become a *major* problem if the courts don't treat it like the trap it is.

Lo-Fi Lobo: JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL #18 (JLI 20/?)
Nov. 7th, 2025 05:34 amtcampbell1000 posting in scans_daily
Justice League International #18, on top of its usual 22 pages by its usual creative team, has a 16-page bonus feature by Mark Askwith and James/Jim Webb.. That feature is just fine, but I’m going to blow through it quick so we can devote more time and page space to Lobo.
( Wow, I feel just like a real DC editor! )
Absolute Green Lantern #7 - "Meanwhile, in the Dark"
Nov. 6th, 2025 09:05 pmlaughing_tree posting in scans_daily
I think my favorite part was realizing that Green Lantern didn't have to be a person. The Absolute Green Lantern is a large object from space that landed on a town. There are other lanterns, and they are also large objects in space. None of the people in the book are lanterns. -- Al Ewing

From the World of Minor Threats - Welcome to Twilight #3
Nov. 6th, 2025 12:15 pmmastermahan posting in scans_daily
Minor Threats is a creator-owned series written by Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum. This issue is a solo story starring one of the characters not from Minor Threats, but from a spinoff series, The Alternates, about superheroes dealing with depression from no longer being in an alternate dimension called The Ledge, which...
Okay, look, it's a Gail Simone comic about a lobster man at a comic convention. It's got jokes and sight gags. That's all you need.
Warning for mild gore and coarse language.
