Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday
Jun. 2nd, 2026 10:05 amicon_uk posting 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 am breaking that a little bit because of the sheer circus going on at the moment.
As one commentator put it, what the current administration is doing to the White House is aesthetically what a meth lab does to a regular house. They've cemented over the back garden, one entire wing has been demolished and is some sort of a "building project" that may never get finished and a cage fighting pit is being built on the front lawn.
And in terms of the concert that was being planned for theSemiquincentennial of the USA 80th birthday of a certain Mangled Apricot Hellbeast, it's like a musical version of the hoky- kokey except everyone immediately jumped out and did not jump back in again, with the possible exception of Vanilla Ice... who as the headliner of anything is just... sad.
Also, we're now in June, which in the US is Pride Month, and I think it's time we got back to more of our roots on S_D and celebrate the hell out of that, because good god almighty do we need to support our local queer communities, more on that shortly.

dw_maintenanceQuick note that post-by-email and comment-by-email is (sometimes?) failing silently without actually posting right now! I'm pretty sure this is related to last night's shenanigans and will be fixed once Mark can finish the full fix for it, which he's working on, but if you've posted or replied by email in the last 24 hours, fish it out of your sent folder to check if it posted!
EDIT: This should be fixed as of around 7AM EDT! We *believe* everything that was stuck in the plumbing has been sent along to your journal or the comment thread it was meant for; it's definitely not where it was stuck anymore, at least.

DC Defenders: DEFENDERS #1-3
Jun. 1st, 2026 08:53 amtcampbell1000 posting in scans_daily103 of 108. Warning for a sexual situation of ambiguous consent, but it’s one I have no trouble with.
The Defenders got its start with the roster you see here, a poorly socialized quartet that soon earned it the nickname of the “non-team.” The Silver Surfer was more like a satellite orbiting the other three. It reached its greatest commercial success (with a different roster) under Steve Gerber, whose writing was more about indulging his subversive streak than brand reinforcement. This property seems like it’d suit the old JLI team down to their toenails. ( Gerber might have suggested using other body parts in that sentence. )

May. 31st, 2026 10:00 pmdenise posting in dw_maintenanceRobby has managed to put in a temporary fix for the site errors and things failing to refresh or not showing up where they should! The permanent fix is going to need Mark's experience, and unfortunately -- seriously, this literally never fails -- Mark has been on an international flight all day, because of course he has. (Never. Fails. He and I are not allowed to both take vacation at once.)
The site will work just fine with the temporary fix in place, things just might be a little slow here and there. We'll keep you updated.

May. 31st, 2026 08:59 pmdenise posting in dw_maintenanceWe're aware of site traffic issues and are working to fix them for the people who are having problems! (The tactics the damn bot traffic uses are endlessly shifting, and they're really good at looking like real traffic, sigh.)
Kevin Keller Gets Married!
May. 31st, 2026 12:55 pmskjam posting in scans_dailyHi folks!
Found one of my old posts where the images are still working, so reposting.
----
It's been a while since we last checked in with the "Life With Archie" title. As long-time readers will remember, this magazine showcases the alternate futures where Archie marries either Betty or Veronica. This resulted...somehow...in Hiram Lodge becoming an archvillain. (We've since learned more about what happened to make him that way, and it's a doozy.) Plus a whole host of other subplots.
But today, we're going to look at the main plotline in Life With Archie #16, the marriage of Kevin Keller. This is likely to be a plotline controversial with social conservatives because--
--it's interracial! I'm pretty sure this is the first interracial marriage in Archie Comics, not counting aliens or monsters.
So, how did the happy couple meet? It turns out that even in the future presented here, the US is still fighting a war in the Middle East. :-(
( Kevin Keller, war hero )
Your thoughts and comments?
SKJAM!

Just Let Me Get This Off My Chest (Minmaxing III): JUSTICE LEAGUE: GENERATION LOST et al.
May. 30th, 2026 02:47 pmtcampbell1000 posting in scans_daily102 of 108. Warning for suicide. (Less serious warning: remember how last time I said I'd "try to keep the kvetching to a minimum"? As you will see, I've failed completely, but oh, well, what the hell.)
Up to the mid-2000s, Max Lord either skewed toward benevolence…or flirted with villainy but at least did so in a funny way. ( Borderline villainous activity: shilling for Verizon. )
Testing needed in advance of code push!
May. 28th, 2026 04:10 pmdenise posting in dw_maintenanceIt's been a while since we've done a full code push rather than just hotfixes for bugs, so we are well overdue! Depending on availability, we're aiming to do one sometime soon; we'll let you know specifics once we've worked out good timing for everyone who needs to be available.
However! The reason it's been so long is we kept trying to get some of the stuff that's pending to "really finished" instead of just "mostly finished", and then we once again looked around and went "oh no, this is a really big code push with a lot of changes". Those make us nervous, because while we do a lot of testing ourselves, y'all are really creative in how you use the site and we inevitably find a bunch of edge cases when we let you loose on new code with your real-world data!
So, if folks have some spare time in the next few days, it would be a huge help if you could spend half an hour or so using the site the same way you normally do but with the "Site-Wide Canary" beta features flag turned on. Canary mode is a sort of "live testing" mode: it's your real data, but running the most up-to-date code.
Canary mode always does have a few glitches -- there may be missing text strings or errors about missing database properties, which is a limitation of how we run it. We don't need to know about those, but anything else weird that you run into, leave a comment with what you were trying to do and the error message you got.
I'll repeat that the "here be dragons" caution that's on the beta features page: some things may be broken, so don't use it for when you're doing something important. But a few more eyeballs on it before the push will help the push go more smoothly for everyone.
For folks who want to concentrate on what's changing, we haven't finished the second code tour of what's going to be in this push, but the ffirst one has a good chunk of what's going to be going live. (We'll get the second half done ASAP!)

The Lengthening Shadows: JLA CLASSIFIED #8-9
May. 27th, 2026 09:25 pmtcampbell1000 posting in scans_daily
101 of 108. Warning for sexualized, disturbing alternate versions of Mary Marvel, Ice, Sue Dibny, and Shazam/Captain Marvel, with side orders of possible gay stereotype OR possible incestuous implications. It's...wild.
At the start of this issue, the Super Buddies get stomped into the ground by the giant foot of ( the 21st-century Apache Chief, who has a LOT of bones to pick with DC Comics and America in general. )

Justice League Unlimited #19: Justifying The JL Villain Amnesty Program To The Public
May. 27th, 2026 12:25 pmDoomQuest #1
May. 27th, 2026 12:14 pmcyberghostface posting in scans_daily
"[W]hen the chance came up to do an evergreen Doom story - meaning one set not in the immediate present but instead in the not-too-distant past, unshackled from his current status quo - it was really alluring, especially when I was told I could go as big and as crazy as I wanted. In short, this is the fun one: Doom at his absolute Doomiest as he careens his way through a quest through time, rewriting history in his image - all to ennoble and exalt his beloved Latveria. It's fun, it's bombastic, and I can promise some absolute banger Doom moments (and speeches!) in it.” -- Ryan North
