But how can you change the behavior when people are caught up in an addictive, repeating feedback echo chamber of misinformation and hate/fear-mongering closed loop? At some point, social media will need to be more seriously regulated and filtered what goes on there because it can take a little match burning and fan it into a conflagration. I've read and agreed that at some point, if human civilization makes it this long, people will look back at the unfiltered social media and be mid boggled we let it just be how it is for so long.
I don't claim to have the answer on specifically how to address this, but social media by its nature allows anyone to scale their reach exponentially and to say pretty much anything. Somehow we need to find a way to keep the nuclear waste out or it will get us all including the people who use it properly.

I subscribe to Hachette’s DC Heroes & Villains Collection. They’ve done a Joker Special (not yet available to non-subscribers). Here it is:

I think most of what's in that post was written by comics historian Michael Vassallo, as indicated by Beerbohm's remarks at the very beginning. Interesting in any case. Also got a laugh at one of the commenters who "politely put up" with all of the meanies on this forum.

Yes, that is right. I should have made that clear. And I noticed that too about our former member. It's funny because here I am posting this that is clearly not kind to Stan, and yet we are still all just Stan fanboys. Henry, when you read this, and I know you will, please note that we are not fannishly defending Stan Lee. Just because we say his name and don't call him "the editor" doesn't mean we don't know how much Kirby created.

It's the "politely" that really cracks me up, though.

Banned member. always mad that everyone didn't think Stan Lee was a villain who never did any creative work. Can't recall screen name.

I think his name here was Prof-something. I never had a problem with his posts, personally. He tended to over-use caps but my impression was that he didn't quite get how that comes across as anger rather than emphasis, which is what I thought he was going for. Just my take, of course. I have no idea what he was banned for, so not second-guessing the mods.

In one of our zoom meetings I found out that he was bad mouthing some of the members of the CCF( I believe I was on that list). It looks like he's just this type of person who can't get along with others.

I’d buy a new horror anthology with Boris Karloff in the title, if only for nostalgia.

I doubt it. Anything new would likely go down one of two roads: nostalgia which cannot capture the time, influence and motives of the original period, or it will be Gold Key in name only, where its more about appropriating IPs for a new spin that won't read/feel like the work from the original era (see: new versions of Warren magazines).

An important point, you’re right.
I feel the same. It can apply to most things. Occasionally, there are rumours of wrestling organisations/promoters acquiring old brands or event titles, but it could never be the same.
