In slightly better news, number two son got accepted at Georgetown Law. So that’s a good thing. Also thanks for all the thoughts. Was hoping to have a test result today but it’s not looking good.
Damn Slam !
I hate to hear this but know you'll come out ok.
My godmother and two of her sons have it, as do my cousin's two children.
Sending you positive vibes old friend.

Easily the Vision, and I love the connectivity to the original Human Torch.
Red Tornado, frankly, hasn't had nearly the screen time that the Vision has, and I feel like I barely know the character.

Marvel 99 % lost me about 20 years ago and DC is rapidly following despite being my favorite characters.
I have little faith in Marie Javins and it sounds like continuity is going bye bye.
I'm not anal about continuity, but DC has more flexibility than Marvel, IMO, and that's one of it's great strengths, also IMO.
I'll stick around for what fringe titles come out, like Legion, and probably the next volume of Shazam, but most of the rest of it is leaving me pretty cold.
Still love me some Valiant.

It seems like ALL my regular comics came out this week - Detective Comics #1029, Batgirl #50, Legionnaires #10 and Wonder Woman #765 - and I may write reviews for some of them, if I have time over the weekend. But I wanted to say a few words about Catwoman #26, which came out last week, and I just never had time … So I hope nobody minds if I review Catwoman #26 a week late. It's a very positive review! CATWOMAN 26After two years of adventures in the exotics locale of Villa Hermosa (about which my feeling were mixed), Catwoman has returned to Gotham City and has set herself up in her old neighborhood Alleytown! She's already gathered a small band of petty thieves and troubled youths … and she has wasted no time in collecting trouble! She's already scheming against the bosses who control the nearest neighborhoods. And there's a mysterious out-of-town hitman who appears to be stalking Selina Kyle. To me, this is the kind of environment in which Selina should thrive. I never heard of Alleytown before, but it sure sounds like a Gotham City neighborhood, and a perfect place for Selina's roots. One of the nearby neighborhoods is The Narrows! A much appreciated nod to continuity in Gotham City geography! (It's a city where far too many random locations are named after Finger, Robinson, O'Neill and Aparo. Locations that never appear again.) All of Catwoman's playmates are within striking distance, folks like the Penguin, the Joker, Harley and Ivy. For starters. And the Bat! But I wouldn't mind if he avoided Alleytown for a while. I see so much potential for this series! I hope they treat Alleytown like part of the cast, and create a real community. I'm starting to wonder how close Alleytown is to Burnside, which, as much as I prefer Cherry Hill, was very much a separate neighborhood to me. Even though I have no idea where Burnside is in relation to downtown Gotham or Wayne Manor … or anything! I've always imagined Cherry Hill and Burnside as being right next to each other, two rival communities, both claiming Batgirl as guardian because nobody knows who she is, so she could live in either place. Perhaps I digressed a bit. But not really. I would love to see Alleytown become an identifiable region in Gotham. And - even better! - to see later writers continue that trend. Another thing I'd like to see? I want to see the masked gangs get rid of the boring crime families! Down with the Falcones and the Triad! Gotham City is for the masked gangs! There's even a story in Batman very late in the Silver Age where the name villains like the Joker and the Catwoman and (if memory serves) the Mad Hatter and the Getaway Genius and Johnny Witts are all plotting together to keep organized crime out of Gotham City in favor of disorganized crime! I'm all for it! And a Catwoman comic book would be a great place to show parts of the storyline. And the kingpin of Gotham crime should be the Gorilla Boss of Gotham City! Which one? Well, that's a whole cross-over event!
I long ago left the Bat-Universe behind, with the 2000's Catwoman series (outstanding), but you're review has me very intrigued.

I can't wait for 2020 to be over but I'm not sure 2021 will be much different, except maybe for hope and reality starting to re-assert itself again.
Stay strong Becca. Good luck to you and your family.
