There was a video game for Maximum Carnage way back in the day, and I was a Production Assistant on the commercial for it. My job was to drive the truck full of camera equipment from Long Island to Manhattan, pick up my producer, get breakfast and bring it all to set… but I didn’t realize that I left the key to the lock on the truck at home until we got the breakfast. My producer sat on giant coffee urns and held bagels in his lap as I drove to set – but I was so frazzled that I drove the wrong way down the West Side Highway and was pulled over by a cop!!! -- Joe Kelly
Maximum Carnage! I have to say, it’s been a minute, and I was a Clone Saga do-or-die back around when it landed – but I remember a whole pile of villains infighting and yelling at each other and hating each other as much as (or more than) they hated the comics. Can’t beat that! -- Charles Soule
During the 90s, I was off reading Proper Comics like Hate, Eightball, and Love & Rockets, so Maximum Carnage passed me by a little bit – I hear Carnage is pretty Maximum in it, but that’s about all I know. -- Al Ewing

They Won't Even Have to Update the Team Roster on the Recap Page!
Mar. 10th, 2026 05:55 pmshakalooloo posting in scans_dailyOkay, so my last few posts have featured images that not everyone could view. So, let's try ImgBB, and see if that works better.
That better? Or worse? Anyway, stuff happens in this issue that you may not want to see. And I'm not talking about the mutant nudity.

Star Wars: Jar Jar #1

"I've always loved the inner child that Jar Jar brought out in all of us, especially me. But there comes a time where everyone must let go of the child and take responsibility for their actions, and we see Jar Jar come to that realisation in this one-shot." -- Ahmed Best

Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday
Mar. 10th, 2026 10:19 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.
In light of the advice in the last paragraph, and due to work requirements, I think I will leave things short and sweet, and simply wish a Happy Mar10 Day, to those who celebrate the achievements of video games most prominent plumber.

Caged Strays: JUSTICE LEAGUE EUROPE #22-23 (JLI 67)
Mar. 9th, 2026 11:15 pmtcampbell1000 posting in scans_daily
Giffen, Jones, Rogers. Warning for some cruelty-to-animals comedy on a couple of covers.
Justice League Europe was in no hurry to get back to high-octane excitement after the Extremists arc. The last two issues had seen the team playing around on the beach and shopping in London. Issue #22 involves an actual crime and a JLE-adjacent character in some jeopardy, but within those bounds, it’s still as low-stakes as you can imagine.
( Like, ‘‘Scarlet Skier vs. Snapper Carr’’ low-stakes. )
Generally Hoary: JUSTICE LEAGUE AMERICA #50 (JLI 66)
Mar. 6th, 2026 03:51 pmtcampbell1000 posting in scans_daily
Today, the Greatest Generation is all but gone. The fingerprints it left on superhero comic books still linger, but we’re always interrogating what its legacy means to us. But one thing was clear enough as Germany reunified: the “unreconstructed German Nazi” trope, common in comics of the 1960s, was aging out of relevance. Giffen and DeMatteis (and Medley) wanted to be the ones to lay it to rest. It would be defeated by…age itself.
Edit to add: next entry will come late on Monday--I'm traveling and might not get enough unbroken time to finish it for a little while.
( If only being a Nazi today MADE you old, like M. Night Shyamalan’s beach. )
General Gory?: JUSTICE LEAGUE AMERICA #48-49 (JLI 65)
Mar. 5th, 2026 06:08 amtcampbell1000 posting in scans_daily
Warning for lots of Nazi and Hitler imagery.
In a meta sense, the real threat to a figure like General Glory isn’t Nazis; it’s disillusionment, the vision of America with bloodied hands that can never be made clean. The General will face both threats in these pages, and he’s much more able to address one than the other. And this was produced during the early Nineties, with reference to the early Forties, which were both relatively good times for American patriotism. [Glances at headlines, shakes head, sighs]
( The Vietnam and Trump eras have been hard enough on Captain America; I’d rather not imagine the General trying to cope with them. )

HBO's "Lanterns" has a teaser trailer
Mar. 4th, 2026 08:15 pmicon_uk posting in scans_daily
Which is, as I sort of expected, a little short on ring slinging, since I figures they'll be saving that for the full trailer, or even the actual premiere.
( Also, a lot swearier than I expected )
