In 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.

Robert Redford, a remarkable actor and by all accounts, a remarkable man, passed away at the age 89.

A trailer for next years "Mandalorian and Grogu" movie dropped along with a beautifully 1940's style poster

Not sure if I shared the trailer for next years Yoroi Shin Den Samurai Troopers anime, for those who might remember "Ronin Warriors" in the 90's. But if I did tough luck, here it is again.
