dw_maintenanceHappy Wednesday!
I'm taking search offline sometime today to upgrade the server to a new instance type. It should be down for a day or so -- sorry for the inconvenience. If you're curious, the existing search machine is over 10 years old and was starting to accumulate a decade of cruft...!
Also, apparently these older machines cost more than twice what the newer ones cost, on top of being slower. Trying to save a bit of maintenance and cost, and hopefully a Wednesday is okay!

Aliens: Havoc
Apr. 21st, 2026 01:00 pmcyberghostface posting in scans_daily
"One incredible story. Forty amazing creators. A hive of deadly aliens. That's what we call Havoc. Some of the biggest names in comics -- including Art Adams, George Pratt, Kelley Jones, Kevin Nowlan, and Kent Williams -- illustrate Eisner Award winner Mark Schultz's story of a haunted space station infested with aliens." -- Dark Horse

I had no idea that Kivia personality is a lot more... sillier in the original light novel/manga compared to the anime.

Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday
Apr. 21st, 2026 08:43 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.
UK politics is mired in yet more chaos in terms of the fallout of Peter Mandelson's appointment to, and rapid departutre for, the role of US Ambassador.
US politics is just... mired... in general, or so it seems from the outside. The reveal that Pete Hegseth quoted Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction" citing it as an actual Biblical passage was quite something (And another three satire writers probably changed careers in disgust, because this is just the sort of thing they'd have presented as parody), as was the VP's attempt to lecture Pope Leo, an Augustinian, on... ummm... Augustinian theology. Good luck with THAT one slugger!
I'm torn on "Maul: Shadow Lord". It LOOKS amazing, and Sam Witwer as Maul is as good as ever but I don't feel it's doing anything particularly new, which is a shame.

Rogue Trooper teaser trailer
Apr. 20th, 2026 06:21 pmicon_uk posting in scans_dailyAn early, and immensely popular strip in 2000AD was "Rogue Trooper", the story of the last surviving Genetic Infantryman (GI for short) who is committed to finding the General whose trairourous actions led to the deaths of all the other GI's.
Oddly, though he is the last living GI, he is assisted by three others, who remain as personailty chips built into his equipment: Bagman, Gunnar and Helm are in his backpack, assault rifle and helmet respectively.
And now, 45 years after his introduction, he's gettting an animated movie for the first time.
