After defeating the Extremists, the JLE is confronting a new reality: they’re popular with French people now.
( Not Nutella popular, but at least egg mayo popular. )

Absolute Wonder Woman #17
Feb. 28th, 2026 11:40 pmshakalooloo posting in scans_daily
This series is just so much better than 'main' Wonder Woman, isn't it? Look! Giganta's even crushing the logo on the cover! I think that's neat!
Not included in the following scans: the use of sound effect 'YEET!'

Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong 2 issue 7 of 7
Feb. 28th, 2026 11:25 pmshakalooloo posting in scans_daily
The series ends. Things seem to wrap up rather quickly, but it still finds time for Batman helping Harley Quinn get over Mister J, and the Most Intense Laser Battle Ever.

Schlock and Awe: JUSTICE LEAGUE QUARTERLY #2 (JLI 62)
Feb. 26th, 2026 05:15 pmtcampbell1000 posting in scans_daily
JLA #36 had introduced the Scarlet Skier as herald to Mister Nebula, an obvious Galactus pastiche who brings his “gift” to all worlds. A “gift” not of death, but of decadent design. He hungers…for kitsch.
( Of course, one has to work extra hard to convey DELIBERATE kitschiness in superhero comic art. )
Bonus: Whatever Happened to the Conglomerate?
Feb. 26th, 2026 05:58 pmtcampbell1000 posting in scans_daily
An extra JLI-adjacent feature inspired by your…yes, YOUR…comments on the Conglomerate in Justice League Quarterly #1! ( Really, it's almost as if YOU wrote this! Or at least as if you told ChatGPT to do it! )

Here we go! Uh, for page limit reasons I will skip the opening action scene, but I think the after-action debrief summarises it well enough...

Well, with Starro defeated, who else could possibly oppose the Crime Syndicate of Amerika?

Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday
Feb. 24th, 2026 11:08 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.
Hope those hit by the winter storm in North America have been taking care of themselves.
SCOTUS struck down Trump's Trademark Tariff plan, which he responded to by re-imposing them using an even more obscure law, providing a loophole.
In the UK, the Andrew formerly known as Prince was arrested (on his birthday no less) for Suspicion of Misconduct in Public Office, following his links to Epstein. A government grandee, and Lord, Peter Mandelson was likewise charged. Given that Norway has also arrested a prince of their country, people are starting to ask when the wheels of justice will grind Stateside.
In a truly deranged ramble, even by his standards, Trump also said he was sending two US Navy Hospital ships to Greenland to deal with the residents who were "not being taken care of by Norway". Both Greenland and Norway have declined, pointing out that they both already have free nationalised healthcare, which is more than America has. Greenland also just provided medical assistance to a US submarine, where a sailor had been taken ill, so... that was awkward.
The Winter Olympics drew to a close, and next up we have the Winter Paralympics.
Starfleet Academy gave us our first canon gay (and occasional skirt wearing) Klingon: Jay-Den Kargg who is in a cute relationship with the cheerily upbeat (and much shorter) Kyle. This caused the usual pearl clutching from people who probably keep spare pearls to clutch on hand in case of emergencies, but we can ignore them.

There are still three issues remaining, but it's time for the final showdown with Starro, and Superwoman's origin! Why does she hate men so much? A much more pertinent question than why David Finch drew Starros with four tentacles for the cover!

Nightwing's " Cirque du Sin " arc wrapped up this month.
Feb. 22nd, 2026 10:24 amthanekos posting in scans_dailyIt started in October 2024 - it's been seventeen issues and one annual.
It's the Cirque, which Dick'd encountered as Robin, having designs on him and Blüdhaven.
In issue #132, he'd confronted the Cirque's representative Olivia Pearce - and seen her face.
( Her master, the Zanni, came out of it. )

Won’t Someone Think of the Corporations?: JUSTICE LEAGUE QUARTERLY #1 (JLI 61)
Feb. 22nd, 2026 07:59 pmtcampbell1000 posting in scans_daily
The launch of Justice League Quarterly might’ve seemed excessive, but in retrospect, it let Giffen, DeMatteis, and Jones explore a few story concepts in depth that otherwise might’ve been sent to the margins. First up was Booster Gold’s new super-team, the Fighting Shills. No, wait, I mean the Intellectual Property. No, wait, I mean the Bought-And-Paid-For Hacks. No, wait, I mean…the Conglomerate? Are we SURE that’s their name?
( In 1990, the name ‘‘Citizens United’’ would’ve said ‘super-team’ more than ‘‘overextension of corporate power.’’ )
