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 posting 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 posting in scans_dailyLet 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?
- 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 ❤️
Mod Post - 2025 - Times past
Dec. 31st, 2025 12:42 pmicon_uk posting in scans_dailyAs the fires of 2025 becomes embers, we are reminded that it has seen us lose visionary creators including: Robert Orci, Jackson Guice, Peter David, Jim Shooter, Nancy Burton, Marie-Mad, Drew Struzan, Dave Taylor and David Lynch.
We may not have always agreed with some of the choices made, but these were influential figures. We honour their passing and thank them for their contributions to the art form we love.
And, in the spirit of remembering;
1) What were your favourite new comics this year?
This could mean:
- Single issues?
- Storylines?
- Imprints?
- Favourite new character(s)?
(We don't want to know your least favourites, lets keep this positive)
Also
2) What were your favourite scans posted here on S_D, be they new or old?
Tomorrow we look to the future, but today, as we balance between the new and the old.... we look back... as long as we don't look down!
Bwah-Ha-Holocaust: THE AUTHORITY: THE LOST YEAR #8-9
Dec. 30th, 2025 06:35 pmmastermahan posting in scans_daily
With tcampbell1000's excellent JLI retrospective on holiday hiatus, I thought I'd throw up these two issues of The Authority written by Giffen and DeMatteis.
Why? You'll see soon enough.

Star Wars #71 - Hope springs eternal (and I think we need some of that right now)
Dec. 30th, 2025 01:03 pmicon_uk posting in scans_dailySo, I love that the comics have played up that Luke Skywalker is trusting and optimistic, but not a completely clueless idiot.
He trusts, and he believes in the inherent goodness of people, but he's not entirely gullible.
( Case in point )
