Plotted by Keith Giffen, Invasion would be the last big crossover to affect the JLI for a few years, almost until the end of the Giffen-DeMatteis era. It’s a classic war story with a twist: many different factions and races putting aside their differences and banding together against a dangerous common enemy. The twist is that the enemy is Earth.
It all begins when humans do better than expected in an alien-juried version of Squid Game. Script by Bill Mantlo, art by Todd McFarlane--and I suspect McFarlane added a few of the captions; they feel a lot like his style.

Power Man - Timeless #1

Power Man - Timeless is about a future version of Luke Cage who is also Iron Fist. And also the Sentry. And also the Hulk.
You may find the following pages overwrought and hard to follow. I assure you the missing pages do nothing to alleviate that.

Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday
Nov. 18th, 2025 09:44 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.
I mean... between the Epstein files in the US, and the UK's Labour Government recommending immigration policies that make the former Tory ones look progressive I wouldn't know where to start.
Happy Life Day to those who celebrate the most wince-worthy of fictional holidays... the anniversary of the first showing of The Star Wars Holiday Special
I've been dealing with some things in real life so have not been able to catch up on new shows like "Pluribus" or "IT! Welcome to Derry" as yet. Any good?
I did find that there was a special Epilogue released to celebrate the tenth anniversary of The Bright Sessions which was a bit of a reminder about the transitory nature of time as I could have sworn it was barely five years ago it came out.
And it was confirmed that the Doctor Who spin off miniseries about UNIT "The War Between The Land and the Sea" will launch on 7th December, at the same time as an edited version of the original Jon Pertwee series "The Sea Devils" is released. Certain sections of the fandom are already "outraged/appalled/clutching their pearls" that the Sea Devils will be referred to as "Homo Aqua".
As if "Sea Devils" wasn't originally just a term used by a traumatised person to describe the creatures that attacked him, rather than a more neutral name you might want to use in a diplomatic relationship.

Weird’s Sighin’s: THE WEIRD #3-4 (JLI 25)
Nov. 17th, 2025 06:23 amtcampbell1000 posting in scans_daily
Last time out, the Weird dramatically flushed a toilet, implying to “the Jason,” “See what I did to this poo? This is you in five more seconds.”

One of the odder aspects of Doug's power boost is that everyone's minds automatically translate sound effects.

One World Under Doom #8
Nov. 15th, 2025 04:00 pmcyberghostface posting in scans_daily
“That relationship between Doom and Valeria is maybe one of the best in comics. It’s so unusual and almost impossible. The idea that your hated villain would be the goddaughter to your child seems ridiculous, but it works because, Doom, for all of his many faults, he does have this weird, twisted sense of honor. I love that he will be Emperor Doom, but also still wants to be Uncle Doom to this young woman. They’re both pulling each other in different directions, kind of towards each other. It’s so operatic and big, but it makes sense emotionally.” — Ryan North

This Kid Is Going to Need a League of THERAPISTS: THE WEIRD #2 (JLI 24)
Nov. 15th, 2025 05:57 amtcampbell1000 posting in scans_daily
Last time out, Billy confronted the Weird, who looks like the corpse of his father making a o_O face.
Billy’s mom notices he’s gone from the backyard, but it’s the Eighties, so she assumes he’s just roaming around the neighborhood. Or maybe she assumes a supervillain kidnapped him, just to put a capper on the week of her husband’s death and his corpse getting vaporized. She’s not doing okay!
( This WOULD have been around the time Skyhook was kidnapping kids in Metropolis. Stranger danger! )
Rio by Doug Wildey
Nov. 14th, 2025 06:35 amknight_moves posting in scans_dailyThere's no way any of this is in the tag system, so just enjoy a sequence of pretty art and taut suspense from an old-fashioned Western.

Not The Daniel Radcliffe Movie: THE WEIRD #1 (JLI 23)
Nov. 14th, 2025 04:32 amtcampbell1000 posting in scans_daily
I wasn’t sure whether to include this one, or quite where to put it. It’s from mid-1988, but it includes a mostly earlier lineup of Justice Leaguers. And it has a droll, JLI-ish sense of humor, but in the end, the JLI and Superman are secondary players. The Weird is the hero of his own life, and that life attains more meaning from its brevity.
( If only we could say the same for his 152-page STORY. This abbreviated form may be a better reading experience. )

Not much Lesla fanservice this issue, but we do get a Superfamily Thanksgiving spread.
