The official line was that Justice League America would be the funnier title and Justice League Europe would be the more serious one, but things weren’t working out that way so far. As JLA #30 took that title to new depths of darkness, JLE #6 was Giffen and DeMatteis’ most ridiculous issue yet, its plot shamelessly engineered for maximum absurdity. ( Rumiko Takahashi couldn’t have done it better. )
Venom #252-253

It all stemmed from wanting to do something to celebrate Venom reaching issue 252–the number in which in Amazing Spider-Man Spidey started wearing the symbiote. When I suggested we put Venom in a red and blue costume, I was only kidding…but so many of the best ideas start as jokes! Everyone loved it. I got Luchiano to design it because hot damn he is great at that. There are so many great details in there. I then took that design to writer Jordan Morris, who came up with the character and story to go with it. That story will be a backup in the issue and introduce this new Venom to the world! But we weren’t done with the design yet–Al Ewing ALSO loved the look of it and the celebration, so he cooked up an excuse for MJ to rock that look in 616 as well! -- Jordan D. White

Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday
Jan. 6th, 2026 09:12 amicon_uk 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... I mean... c'mon 2026, could you have not given us just a couple of weeks of relative calm? Was that SO much to ask? But... well... here we are.
The "Stranger Things" finale aired, with mixed, though generally positive reviews, though it did confirm the complete lack of the most hotly fanticipated slash pairings in recent media. Honestly, I never saw it myself, and I prefer the ending both characters got, but I appreciate that many were hoping for it.
Yoroi Shin Den Samurai Troopers released it's OP, and the first episode aired in Japan today. Heavy on the neon, but a couple of nice nods to the original series openings.

Rex’s Ex’s Ex Wrecks the Complex: JUSTICE LEAGUE EUROPE #5 (JLI 40)
Jan. 4th, 2026 10:23 pmtcampbell1000 in scans_daily
Metamorpho has been one of DC’s second-tier stars since 1965, and unlike a lot of characters without long-running series of their own, he’s retained his supporting cast.
( Captain Atom’s kids are reading this in a bar somewhere, glaring in resentment. )
International Lampoons, Working Vacation: JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL ANNUAL #3 (JLI 39)
Jan. 2nd, 2026 07:19 pmtcampbell1000 in scans_daily
This annual’s main story is about planting seeds. It introduces a whole new cast of characters to serve as story anchor points, associated with the JLI embassies outside of New York and Paris--including one new embassy founded in these pages. Some of these characters would be focal to multiple Giffen-DeMatteis plots; some would get cameos of varying interest; some would never be seen again. Most would be utterly forgotten after Giffen and DeMatteis left.
( It was still a bit too early in 1989 for a unified Berlin embassy. )
Mod Post - 2026 - Times to come
Jan. 1st, 2026 02:19 pmicon_uk in scans_dailyWell, we made it folks, we made it through the flaming shitshow which was much of 2025.
Let us hope that 2026 treats us a ilttle more gently, or at least we can try at a personal level to treat other people more gently, just.. y'know... in general.
So the questions today are:
What are you looking forward comics-wise in 2026?

So the questions today are:
What are you looking forward comics-wise in 2026?
- A new series?
- A new character?
- A new title?
- A new creative team taking over an old title?
- An existing character getting more focus?
Speaking personally I'm interested in the upcoming Mirage mini-series
I want to see the fall out of the Age of Revelation and what it means for my old favourite Doug.
The news of more "Check! Please" was a delightful surprise.
And you?

dw_maintenanceПривет and welcome to our new Russian friends from LiveJournal! We are happy to offer you a new home. We will not require identification for you to post or comment. We also do not cooperate with Russian government requests for any information about your account unless they go through a United States court first. (And it hasn't happened in 16 years!)
Importing your journal from ЖЖ may be slow. There are a lot of you, with many posts and comments, and we have to limit how fast we download your information from ЖЖ so they don't block us. Please be patient! We have been watching and fixing errors, and we will go back to doing that after the holiday is over.
I am very sorry that we can't translate the site into Russian or offer support in Russian. We are a much, much smaller company than LiveJournal is, and my high school Russian classes were a very long time ago :) But at least we aren't owned by Sberbank!
С Новым Годом, and welcome home!
EDIT: Большое спасибо всем за помощь друг другу в комментариях! Я ценю каждого, кто предоставляет нашим новым соседям информацию, понятную им без необходимости искать её в Google. :) И спасибо вам за терпение к моему русскому переводу с помощью Google Translate! Прошло уже много-много лет со школьных времен!
Thank you also to everyone who's been giving our new neighbors a warm welcome. I love you all ❤️
