Marie may be waving a pistol, but it's the King putting on a real gun show.

So the cast of the D&D liveplay show Critical Role does an episode every year around Halloween where they play in costumes based on some of their favorite pop culture properties. This year they are doing the X-Men (looks like its mostly inspired by the 90s animated series which is about right for their age group to have been a first exposure point to the X-Men), except for Sam Riegel, who has said many times the only comic that he read regularly and loved as a kid was Fantastic Four. Sam is on the right... This is the picture from their promo for the episode which airs on Twitch and youtube this Thursday. Behind the bar it's Liam O'Brien as Cyclops, Ashely Johnson (who played a civilian recued by Cap in the Avengers movie) as Emma Frost and Matt Mercer as Gambit. Standing in front of the bar is Taliesen Jaffe (grandson of Sam Jaffe) as Mister Sinister, Marisha Ray as Jean Grey, Laura Bailey as Rogue and Sam Riegel as Reed Richard Crouching in front is Travis Willingham as Wolverine. -M

Not sure where else to put this, but I found it interesting and amusing - a case where classical music and comics intersect. The Zagreb Philharmonic recently commissioned Dalibor Talajić to draw them an image that they're now sharing on all social media, as a sort of PSA: (inked by Sebastijan Čamagajevec) The story behind it is this: at a concert recently, the Philharmonic just started to perform An Alpine Symphony by Richard Strauss, and the conductor (a young classical music star from Poland, Dawid Runtz) put his arms down, the orchestra stopped playing, and then started from the beginning after a few moments, because a cell phone started ringing in the audience close to the stage. So the Philharmonic asked Talajić to draw them an image that they could use in a campaign to remind people to turn off their phones when attending concerts. Of course, I would now love an entire story involving a conductor going all Shang Chi on obnoxious clowns in the audience...

For the Ditko Spidey collectors... Apparently they (Ian Briggs) are auctioning off Ditko's personal copies of his Spidey run for the Ditko estate. The FB page of Briggs is hereI saw this because Bob Beerbohm was promoting it, so it's legit. Not in my price range (or my collecting focus) but I know there are some hardcore Spidey collectors here who might be interested. pinkfloydsound17 tartanphantom any others?

Unrelated, but there's been a dogpile on Bob Beerbohm on FB lately about his story of buying stolen original art from Marvel staffers in the 70s.

So I'm a little bit confused, there were "Steve Dikto collection" issues it looks like auctioned off by Heritage last year, and eyeballing a few looks like they were CGC graded higher than some of the corresponding ones up on PBA. Is this a second round of additional issues? Not sure if this is addressed on the FB page, I don't have an account and can't bring up to read.

Not sure what the first batch were, this auction is done in conjunction with the Ditko Estate and the books were Steve's personal copies of these books which will be CGC'd and get the From the Steve Dtiko Collection tag/note on the label.

Hmmmm.... I don't think that's real Kryptonite... my dad bought me Kryptonite at the movie theater back in the 70's and it looked more like a rock spray painted day-glo green.
