Intermission — April 23 — Bigfoot Problems

Posted on April 23, 2026 by Brad Guigar

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.

DC Nation: [CBR] Still pumped from from last weekend’s New York City Comic-Con, at which DC Comics Senior VP/Executive Editor Dan DiDio let slip a couple of heretofore closely guarded secrets (Barry Allen in a red Flash costume? Jason Todd as Red Robin?), the panelists were careful to keep their secrets close to the vest at this year’s WonderCon. Read the entire story.

Jeph Loeb Spotlight: [NEWSARAMA] Saying that he was his own moderator for the hour-long panel, Loeb introduced himself, briefly running down his credits in comics, film and television, noting this today’s was his first spotlight panel ever. …

Asked why he signed an exclusive contract with Marvel, Loeb said that it wasn’t an issue of security in his comic career, but rather that, with the way the landscape is in the comics industry now, “It’s hard to stay at one place without the other place trying to get you to stay with them.� Loeb said that while he had told a lot of stories at DC, and had a lot of fun, Superman/Batman #26, the tribute to his late son Sam, was the last thing that he wanted to write at the company for a while.

Jeph Loeb Spotlight: [CBR] Friday afternoon at WonderCon saw the creators of “Groo the Wanderer” Sergio Aragonés and Mark Evanier hosting their annual “Sergio & Mark Show” at the Moscone South Center in downtown San Francisco.
