There are some Bigfoot problems that hit harder than others — and for certain legendary figures, male pattern baldness anxiety isn’t just about looks… it’s about legacy. Today’s comic imagines what happens when one very famous cryptid starts wondering if his myth might not survive a receding hairline.
What I’m Watching: Invincible, JJK, and the Great Animation Trade-Off
I’ve been watching Invincible with my sons, and I’ve got… thoughts.
First off: the story? Very, very good. Genuinely compelling stuff — even though the violence and gore is way past my personal comfort range. I'm not super comfortable with one character shooting another. The stuff that happens on a median-level episode of Invincible is a real challenge for me.
As someone who does NSFW comics, I'm constantly amazed at how perfectly acceptable Invincible is... yet an animated series based on Phil Foglio's XXXenophile would have people losing their ever-loving minds.

Further, it's a little disappointing to go from watching Jujutsu Kaisen (which we're also following at the moment) to watching Invincible.
JJK features jaw-dropping visuals and animation that constantly raises the bar episode after episode. It's phenomenal.

On the other side of the spectrum, Invincible clearly put all of its budget into getting celebrity voice talent. Some of them are very good.
I just wish a few of those Amazon dollars had been spent on the animation. Some of the scenes are pretty clearly PNGs that get enlarged to show an object moving through space, and it's a goddamned embarrassment.
But the story itself is very, very good.

Marvel Preview: ‘Avengers: The Initiative’
Dan Slott’s new project, “Avengers: The Initiative” has already
sold out through Diamond, and a second printing is being rushed through. The title is due to appear in bookstores April 4.
Slott is a terrific writer. It seems he’s got a real barn-burner on tap.

As Quesada said, it was Slott’s ideas for the concept that had Marvel editorial jazzed: “I’ve now sat in a few creative meetings with Dan and he is really coming of age here,â€? Quesada said. “I will say this and I kid you not, when it comes to creative spit-balling, he is right up there with Bendis, JMS, Millar, Loeb and Brubaker. Dan Slott is the real deal, he’s impressed us to no end, we just have to figure out a way to get him to write faster! He is the biggest superstar in comics that no one knows about.â€?To read Newsarama’s preview,
