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.

Doctor Strange: The Oath
I
blogged about this when
CBR posted a preview, and I finally have it in my hands. I can readily say
Dr. Strange : The Oath does not disappoint.
The series opens with Dr. Strange being carried by His Faithful Manservant Wong into an emergency room with a serious gunshot wound. It seems the injury is the least of the Good Doctor’s problems. Wong has a deadly cancer. Strange must cure him or lose him. It’s a very good premise for a limited series.
But even better is the handling of Dr. Strange’s personality. I’ve noticed it in a couple other books (notably the recent Defenders limited series)… writers are starting to treat Doc S as a absent-minded wizard type. And I have to say — I couldn’t be more pleased.
See, not only does it make for great comic relief, but it’s perfectly logical. Of COURSE a guy who spends so much time with other-worldly concerns would be completely oblivious to the physical world around him. This series is doing this beautifully.
