Reagancomics (3 of 7): Glory Days
Oct. 23rd, 2025 10:06 am
(Boosted up from 5 installments--I found even more material than I was expecting to. Warning for suicidal ideation, serious drug-use discussion.)
At first, Reagan's portrayals in comics stuck close to the template of a generic "placeholder president," with only the occasional real-life touch to give his character some color. The most notable thing about his first comic-book appearance as president is that it stars, of all people, the "Dial 'H' for Hero" duo. The year is 1981, the comic is Adventure Comics #485.

Summary:
They hadn't coordinated their costumes, to Keeley's intense frustration. A few words whispered into Coach Beard's ear seemed to have done the trick.
Rebecca was going to be washing the hair gel out for days, she thought, but she had to admit that she made a striking bride of Frankenstein. Ted looked like he was appreciating it while she enjoyed the way he brought his quaint charm to Bela Lugosi's classic Dracula.
"A pair of monsters walk into a bar…" Ted quipped, having met her at the pub for the costume party.
"Let's go have a monster mash," she replied.

Characters: Spock (Star Trek), Nyota Uhura

Summary:
Uhura smiled mischievously, and Spock let an eyebrow rise at the look. She shifted the tempo of the song she was playing on the dulcimer, and he adjusted his own on the Vulcan harp. The crew that were enjoying the musical duel-duet smiled approvingly.
The idea of it had settled into Spock's mind as a game. He played a few more measures, then changed the harmony, making Uhura adjust to him.
Back and forth they went, with encouragement from the crew, while Spock found himself rising to the challenge and Uhura enjoying it.
They were both winners in the end.

Justice League Unlimited #12 When There Is A Chaotic Situation. The Devil Comes Out To Play
Oct. 22nd, 2025 11:18 amSpy X Family voice actor temporarily steps down
Oct. 21st, 2025 11:52 pmDani Chambers who voices Becky Blackbell (One of my favorite characters in the series,) is taking time off voice acting for voice therapy as stated on a post she made on X:
"This isn't permanent but when my voice comes back I can pop back in," Chambers said. "I'm currently in voice therapy to work on getting back to my normal range. But for now, Becky (and other baby voices) will be voice matched."
The announcement came hours before Season 3 of Spy X Family premiered on Crunchyroll.
Meanwhile, Chambers will still be providing her vocal talents to other characters in the show. Alongside voicing Becky Blackbell in Spy x Family, Chambers has also been in the English dubs of Solo Leveling, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, and several video games, including Pokemon Masters and Genshin Impact. - gamesradar

Doctor Who: "The Time Warrior"
Oct. 21st, 2025 08:35 pmSo today's "first" is Sontarans and Sarah Jane Smith.
They really went for competent, feisty, and full of gumption off the bat with Sarah, didn't they?
Linx was an interesting introduction to the Sontarans, actually.
Irongron is a pill of a brute of a villain, but I really liked Eleanor of the other castle.
This is the best line: "Is this Doctor a long shank rascal with a mighty nose?" and sums up the Third Doctor well.

Summary:
Julian did his best to ignore Garak with his unblinking stare, focusing on his own meal. Surely he could be patient enough to let Garak come to his conclusions and speak first.
It couldn't be that hard to ignore the pointed behavior.
Really.
"Alright, what is it? Denebian spots on my face today?" Julian demanded when he still had at least five bites left of the salad.
Garak smiled. "A new record for you, my dear doctor," he said, and Julian flushed as that made it another psychological test.
"Someday, I will make it a full meal."
Garak laughed skeptically.

Multiversal Cards Against Humanity
Oct. 21st, 2025 04:05 pmThis NPR article about Cards Against Humanity (the company) suing SpaceX for trespassing makes me want Cards Against Humanity, Inc., in various fictional universes.
Surely it exists in Leverage-verse, home of professional trolls. Possibly Hardison owns the company.
How scathing are the anti-Imperial cards in the Galaxy Far, Far Away? What wild schemes have they undertaken to mess with the Powers That Be?
The conflict between theKardashians Cardassians and the Federation seems fruitful territory for people to have done really, really stupid things. Also, that allows for a tournament on Deep Space Nine. Is Garak really good at this game, or does he overthink it to the point where no one can follow his logic?
I would also love to see the Slow Horses playing the game, if only so they can observe that the real winner is Lamb, because they're all sinking to his level. Alternately, perhaps they could get mixed up in a corporate scheme.
As for The Expanse, clearly there are competing entities putting out propaganda packs on all sides all the way through, and they're all making political statements for Their Team.

Reagancomics (2 of 5): Pre-Inaugural
Oct. 20th, 2025 09:47 pm
Ronald Reagan's first appearance in comics doesn't foreshadow his political career at all. It shows him only as an actor--with plans to keep acting until he's old enough to play parts with his glasses on.
( He could've played Clint Eastwood's dad. )
