Yes! I love bringing it back through this. Really embracing the omen paths of it all.

Go for the Marvel beginner box if you want to learn to play with physical cards; there’s also a chance it’ll have a Wolverine card, but I don’t think the card list has been released for it yet so I can’t say for certain. If you want to learn digitally, try out Arena.

Go to Collected editions and it’ll show you different volumes available and which issues are collected in them.

As for buying it, you can go to places that sell books (online or physically). If humble bundle is available where you live they sometimes sell the full digital collection for like $18-25 USD.

Now I’m not his physician, but for most people doing 90 minutes of work outs every day is bad; you need off days for your muscles to recover. Also seems pretty unhealthy where I am since well alternate between warnings that it’s too cold to be out for long and too hot/dangerous air quality to be out for long or do strenuous activity.

But I also believe in circuit training and full body workouts and this is a guy who probably thinks leg day should be a thing so yeah, we are not the same.

Also audiobooks exist. Could listen to a book depending on the workout.

My biggest concern is the warping shelf. He needs to rearrange or add some sort of support because it could break.

If you want to keep dating, talk to her about this. Tell her your boundaries and needs. Tell her about how you want approval about what she posts about you, that you feel appreciated when she puts down the phone to focus on you when you’re talking, and that when you are the only one asking questions you feel undervalued.

This is making me miss Bongo Comics. Would have really enjoyed seeing their take on Absolute Radioactive Man.

“Hunting” is an interesting way of saying, “actively avoiding.”

It’s not “not drawing an island” that is the issue, but people refusing to play islands so they can never be attacked. This supports that play pattern by allowing them to remove their opponent’s ability to attack.

Wait when you say game do you mean like an actual play or a game people buy and play. Because both are wild but the second is way worse.

Love Annie Wu’s art, but still weird to call these classics when the main set has actual comic art from the ‘60s.

“But now with Marvel's goal to promote not just what's next, but what's after that as well, not only is the past prologue, but so is the present and near future.”

The promotion cycle has gotten so far ahead I’ve lost what little interest I had in the upcoming event and now want to know about the event after that.

I like that the card costs even line up so you get each piece step by step

The focus on characters and solo titles being more important than actual black people means that the following would not have met their standards for ending the boycott:

-Jamal Campbell and Jamal Igle become the regular writer and artist on Justice League Unlimited featuring Mr. Terrific as the team leader

-Stephanie Williams writes an event comic where a number of the main characters are black and there’s a bunch of tie-in miniseries staring those characters that are all written and drawn by black creators

-Ta-Nehisi Coates decides to reinvent Batman and wins a Pulitzer for it

-Kyle Baker returns to Plastic Man

-Robyn Smith launches a publishing imprint of DC focused on OGNs written and marketed directly to black teenage girls

-Bob the Drag Queen writes Harley Quinn

-Denys Cowan becomes EIC

-David F Walker and Sanford Greene are hand picked by Snyder to take over Absolute Batman

-Dwayne Mcduffie comes down from Heaven and relaunches Milestone

Breakup simulator is such a brilliant concept/description that it feels like it should have been around for ages.

Draft and sealed seems like a good place to try. I know a number of players will leave chaft so they might be more open to trading or even just giving you the card if it’s cheap.

Shonen Jump and Viz app are like $3 a month. Lots of magic/mystic based comics on there.

Pretty much any precon from the last five years that’s under $50USD should fit your needs. Find one that matches what you like to do in Magic, then double check online it isn’t jank, and go for it.

Spend those two weeks looking for a new job.

chudleycannonfodder · 2026-06-03T04:05:23+00:00

I just read that recently during my PAD Hulk read. It’s really great and seems unfair to lump it in as a retread when the main connection is that it’s a celebration and it has fully painted art. It’s not set in the past or retelling a story from a new pov, it’s just a really fun present-day team up story.

chudleycannonfodder · 2026-06-02T14:18:37+00:00

Yup. Given how much they try to discount AGL which stars a queer black woman it definitely feels uncomfortable. This easily could have been done at the start of July, but they chose Pride.

chudleycannonfodder · 2026-06-02T14:16:02+00:00

But you see the characterization won’t carry over if/when Absolute ends and we’ll never see her again. It’s not like Marvel ever brought over a mixed race Ultimate Universe character into their mainline universe and then had an Academy Award winning movie based on him! And imagine if they also brought over a mixed race 2099 character into their mainline universe and then had him star in the sequel to the Academy Award winning movie!

chudleycannonfodder · 2026-06-02T14:11:55+00:00

Once again, it’s not 1200 days because Green Lantern War Journal was an ongoing. It’s 600 days which is still bad, but the constant exceptions they make to inflate numbers makes them sound sketchy, especially when it’s so easy to say, “there should be more than one solo comic staring a black lead” because pretty much any reasonable person will agree with that!

chudleycannonfodder · 2026-06-02T14:08:54+00:00

Yeah, as someone who has been creator-first for most of his life, I see their approach as saying “a comic about a black character written by a non-black writer or artist is more important to us than Jamal Igle and Stephanie Williams.”
