Episode 53: Star Trek Picard Episode 6 Review and Flash Gordon Headed to Auction

The focus of this weeks update will be a golden age superhero and a new legacy character with ties to another public domain hero. Also we have a new potential logo for the series.

Still kind of on the fence with it. I like that it harkens back visually to the comic book mastheads of the golden

The working title of Atomika, I never intended to keep it. I know there have been some other comic books that use similar titles. I just didn’t realize there had been so many.

All of the above, sort of. Stick with me here… it’ll make sense. Sometimes in order to stay gainfully employed or get a ‘gig’ you have to learn something new. I’ve had to do that a lot over the last 25 years or so. To that end, when it comes to comic books, I’ve had to do it all. Being a jack of all trades is a blessing and a curse.
