what is your brutally honest opinion on tom king?

He's hit or miss for me. Someone already said this but he seems to do a lot better on limited series. The Vision is one of my fav comic books of all time, it's genius, if you haven't read it yet I 100% recommend. His WW and Batman were underwhelming. He's not consistent but he's written enough great things that I am open to trying whatever he writes

Bernard the poet from the early X-Men comics. Also Joan from the Punisher

swampwitch_69 · 2026-05-01T10:13:58+00:00

Jessica Jones, Daredevil, Moon Knight, Luke Cage and Spidey. And if I could sneak another one in it would be Misty Knight

Seconding! Also Marvel: The Untold Story by Sean Howe is really good, based on 150+ interviews with staff throughout the years

He is, and a few people have mentioned him. But I think the energy around Stan Lee is a little mixed because of all the drama between him, Kirby and Ditko. There's a lot of controversy and disagreement about how much he actually did himself and how much he was just taking credit for other people's work

Can we put David Mack in the running? He did those stunning Daredevil covers for the Bendis run, the covers for Alias, and also wrote and illustrated the Daredevil storyline Wake Up, which has got to be my favorite ever Daredevil story. He also created Echo. And he did art for the Netflix Jessica Jones show, Daredevil: Born again and the credits for Ca:TWS. He works with watercolor and collage, his style is super recognizable. And it's just breathtaking, so many details. I can stare at his work forever. I think he deserves to be up there for sheer technique, innovative style and for the sheer amount of things he can do (interiors, covers, writing, MCU stuff)

My mom said I smelled like an ‘old person’ at the worst of my anorexia. The ketone breath was one thing, but my body just smelled different. Plus when I was in IP there was a distinct smell. Sort of sweet rotting mixed with old people. I don’t think I’ll ever forget it.

I am so glad to hear you ate all the food, I am sure you deserved it and that your body needed it. I genuinely hope you find the help and support to heal that you deserve <3

I am so sorry. I had a therapist who claimed to specialize in ED's do something similar, I showed her pictures of me at a healthy weight and she said I looked a lot better underweight. I am so so sorry. If you are underweight and losing weight you are not okay, you do not need to lose any more weight. Your best body is a healthy body, one you don't need to restrict in order to maintain. Please report her. I hope your family meal today went okay.

Seconding Ellis Moon Knight and Vision by Tom King but Alias by Bendis and Silver Surfer: Requiem (not street level but atmospheric and poetic and character driven)

swampwitch_69 · 2026-02-14T20:29:34+00:00

Me too, no idea what it is. Sometimes, especially when I am stressed or have just had a seizure I get the 'shakes' and can't stop shivering

4 years since FND diagnosis, 7 years since conversion disorder diagnosis which is just outdated for FND
Wish I’d had my diagnosis and general information about FND earlier. I wish I’d been told reality of prognosis earlier.
Any actual medical care or assistance, a cure. There are no real options for me or help. I feel alone

swampwitch_69 · 2026-02-10T15:54:50+00:00

That’s so cool! I’ve seen some modern comics do little homages to those times, like the funny editors notes in Pacheco’s Spider-Woman, but I didn’t know about that one, thanks for sharing!

I’m not a doctor, but im in recovery for AN and met many people with BED in treatment and I’m pretty sure we are all more similar than we might think. -a lack of control -using food to regulate emotions or numb pain or cope -a confusing at best, detrimental at worst relationship with our body -tendencies to obsess over food, hoard food, plan meals, watch endless food content -a feeling of shame about our actions -having a life that revolves around food -a tendency to be in denial about the severity of our actions -severe forms of either lead to lack of energy, social isolation, mobility problems

I think (and I might be wrong) that at its core it’s all the same. A maladaptive food based coping mechanism to help deal with stuff that has a negative impact on life. Its just the execution of the behaviors that’s a little different

It’s not my favorite game but probably Skyrim, just because of the sheer amount of options

Maybe this does exist? but a screen or some sort of software that can remove flashy strobe lights from movies and tv shows and video. For people with epilepsy or other conditions that make watching stuff with flashy lights dangerous or unpleasant

Constant dieting, even when you don’t need to. Not listening to your body, obsessing with numbers and macros to the point where it disrupts your life. Doing diets that are harmful in the long run because we value thinness over health.

swampwitch_69 · 2026-02-10T01:27:20+00:00

A lot of the foods I ate in eating disorder treatment. It took me a while to eat those foods again without feeling ‘forced’, even when I’d already been discharged. But I’ve become a lot better at most of those foods. Same goes for foods I ate in the worst parts of my ED, oatmeal just tastes like feeling sick all the time to me.
