This Day in Legal History: Smith v. AllwrightOn April 3, 1944, the United States Supreme Court delivered a landmark decision in Smith v. Allwright, reshaping the landscape of voting rights in the American South. The case centered on Lonnie E. Smith, a Black voter from Texas who was denied the right to vote in the Democratic Party's primary election due to a party rule that only allowed white voters to participate. At the time, the Democratic primary was the only meaningful election in many Southern states, as the party dominated politics, making exclusion from the primary tantamount to disenfranchisement.The Texas Democratic Party argued that, as a private organization, it had the right to determine its own membership and voting rules. However, the Court, in an 8–1 decision authored by Justice Stanley Reed, held that primaries were an integral part of the electoral process and could not be exempt from constitutional scrutiny. The justices concluded that excluding Black voters from primaries violated the Fifteenth Amendment, which prohibits racial discrimination in voting.This ruling effectively overturned the Court's 1935 decision in Grovey v. Townsend, which had upheld the use of white primaries. The Smith decision marked a critical step toward dismantling the legal architecture of Jim Crow voter suppression. While states continued to use other tactics to limit Black political power, the ruling energized civil rights activists and laid the foundation for future litigation.By reasserting federal authority over state electoral practices, Smith v. Allwright signaled a turning point in the judicial battle against racial segregation and disenfranchisement. It also demonstrated the Court's growing willingness to confront systemic racism in voting, a commitment that would deepen during the civil rights era. This case is remembered as one of the pivotal moments in the long struggle for voting rights in the United States.The U.S. Supreme Court largely upheld the FDA's authority to deny applications for flavored vaping products, supporting actions taken during the Biden administration under the 2009 Tobacco Control Act. The unanimous ruling rejected arguments from companies like Triton Distribution and Vapetasia LLC, which claimed the FDA unfairly imposed new testing requirements and ignored their marketing plans. These companies had applied to sell flavors like “Suicide Bunny Mother's Milk and Cookies” and “Killer Kustard Blueberry.”The Court found the FDA's approach consistent with its earlier guidance, despite claims from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that the agency had pulled a “regulatory switcheroo.” Justice Samuel Alito wrote the opinion, agreeing with most of the FDA's decisions but sending the case back to the appeals court to reassess whether the agency erred in refusing to consider the companies' marketing plans—an element the FDA had previously called “critical” for evaluating youth appeal.Though the ruling solidifies the FDA's regulatory role, its long-term impact is uncertain. President Trump, in furtherance of his undying effort to always be on the wrong side of everything, has promised to “save vaping,” though his campaign never clarified what that means in terms of future regulation. The case, FDA v. Wages and White Lion, leaves the appeals court to decide whether any procedural missteps by the FDA were ultimately harmless.Supreme Court Largely Backs Biden-Era FDA on Flavored Vapes (1)Elon Musk's time in Washington as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DGE) appears to be nearing its end. Both Musk and President Trump have hinted that his departure is imminent, with Trump noting that DGE itself “will end.” Originally designed as a temporary advisory panel to cut federal costs, DGE has morphed into a more integrated part of the government, staffed with Musk allies tasked with canceling contracts and slashing budgets.However, signs of a wind-down are emerging. DGE staff are being reassigned to federal agencies, layoffs are underway, and the organization's influence seems to be diminishing. Musk, a special government employee limited to 130 working days per year, is approaching that limit, though neither he nor the administration has confirmed when his tenure will end.Musk's recent political involvement also took a hit when his preferred candidate for the Wisconsin Supreme Court lost, despite significant financial backing and a campaign visit. Tesla's 13% drop in quarterly sales adds further pressure. Trump praised Musk's contributions but acknowledged his corporate obligations, suggesting a graceful exit is likely rather than a public fallout.DGE had once shared leadership between Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, but Ramaswamy left to run for Ohio governor. While Musk boasted about aiming to reduce the deficit by a trillion dollars, critics say the group's progress has been overstated. Despite speculation, Trump hasn't committed to keeping DGE operational post-Musk, indicating the administration may be moving to a new phase of governance.Musk could be headed for a Washington exit after turbulent times at Trump's DOGE | AP NewsPresident Donald Trump announced a new agreement with law firm Milbank, marking another chapter in the growing divide among U.S. law firms over how to handle pressure from his administration. According to Trump's Truth Social post, Milbank initiated the deal, which includes a commitment to provide $100 million in pro bono legal services for causes like veterans' support and combating antisemitism.The agreement comes amid a broader Trump administration effort to punish firms that have opposed or challenged his policies. Several law firms—such as Perkins Coie, WilmerHale, and Jenner & Block—have filed lawsuits seeking to block executive orders they claim were retaliatory and violated constitutional protections of free speech and due process. Federal judges recently issued temporary blocks on parts of those orders.In contrast, other firms including Paul Weiss, Skadden Arps, and Willkie Farr have opted for settlement-style deals with the administration to avoid similar sanctions. Milbank's chairman, Scott Edelman, reportedly described the agreement as aligned with the firm's values and praised the productive talks with the administration.This situation underscores a growing rift in the legal community: some firms are resisting what they see as political coercion, while others are choosing cooperation to preserve their standing with the federal government.Trump reaches agreement with Milbank law firm | ReutersPresident Trump announced a sweeping new tariff policy during a Rose Garden press conference, unveiling a "reciprocal" trade strategy aimed at countering what he described as decades of unfair treatment by U.S. trading partners. Holding a copy of a government report titled Foreign Trade Barriers, Trump declared that the U.S. will now impose tariffs that are approximately half the rate other countries charge American exports—but with a minimum baseline tariff of 10%, and many rates going significantly higher.Countries hit with new tariffs include:* China: 34%* European Union: 20%* Japan: 24%* South Korea: 25%* Switzerland: 31%* United Kingdom: 10%* Taiwan: 32%* Malaysia: 24%* India: 26%* Brazil: 10%* Indonesia: 32%* Vietnam: 46%* Singapore: 10%Trump also confirmed a 25% tariff on all foreign-made automobiles, stacking on the above-referenced rates, effective at midnight, and pointed to motorcycle tariffs as a key example of longstanding trade imbalances. He argued that U.S. manufacturers face rates as high as 75% abroad, while the U.S. imposes just 2.4%.The president justified the move as necessary to protect American jobs and industry, singling out countries like Canada and Mexico for benefiting from U.S. subsidies and defense spending. Detroit autoworker Brian Pannebecker spoke in support, calling Trump's actions a hopeful step toward revitalizing shuttered factories.While Trump emphasized that the tariffs fall short of full reciprocity to avoid overwhelming allies, he made clear the era of what he called “economic surrender” was over. The announcement included plans to sign an executive order formalizing the new tariff regime, which boosted U.S. stock futures as markets reacted positively to the aggressive trade stance. Oh no I'm sorry, I got that wrong: stock futures tanked.  This is a public episode.

Please welcome Scott Edelman back to our Courageous Leadership with Virginia Prodan Podcast. Scott Edelman - we talk this time with us about antisemitism in US. Colleges. Mr. Edelman retired from the United States Foreign Service (diplomatic corps) within the U.S. Department of State in 2015 following 35 years of service largely focused on the Middle East and intelligence analysis. Mr. Edelman entered government service in 1980 as an intelligence analyst at the Central Intelligence Agency. In that capacity, he followed and analyzed political developments in East Africa (1980-83) and Eastern Europe (1986-89), receiving an Exceptional Performance Award upon his departure.

On this day in legal history, the “Trent Affair” occurred during the U.S. Civil War. The USS San Jacinto stopped the British mail ship Trent and arrested two Confederate envoys onboard–leading to a diplomatic crisis between the UK and the United States. On the 8th of November, 1861, a diplomatic incident with potential major ramifications for the U.S. unfolded as Captain Charles Wilkes of the U.S. Navy seized two Confederate diplomats from the British vessel, the Trent. This bold action by Wilkes was not sanctioned by the U.S. government and rapidly escalated into an international crisis, with Great Britain deeming the seizure a blatant infringement on its neutrality. The Confederacy had hoped that the envoys, James Mason and John Slidell, would secure recognition and support from Britain and France, but their capture threatened to pivot the two powers from neutrality to active opposition against the Union.The Trent Affair tested the diplomatic resolve of the Lincoln administration, which was simultaneously engaged in the Civil War. The British government's response was swift and stern, demanding the release of the envoys and an apology, while reinforcing its military presence near U.S. borders. The U.S. faced the predicament of managing foreign relations without provoking war with Britain. Through careful negotiation, the U.S. conceded to British demands, releasing the envoys and thus diffusing a situation that could have dramatically altered the course of the Civil War. Lincoln was reported to have quipped that he should like to fight “one war at a time.” The resolution of the Trent Affair highlighted the Union's commitment to maintaining international peace during its internal strife, while also confirming Britain's staunch defense of its declared neutrality.On Britain's side, the diplomatic crisis was occuring at the same time as a scandal in the royal family and before a terminally ill Prince Albert, consort to Queen Victoria. In the tense days leading up to Prince Albert's death, he played a pivotal role in steering the British response to the Trent Affair. His influence led to the critical offer to the United States: that an apology would suffice, coupled with the release of the detained Confederate envoys, to prevent hostilities. President Lincoln, aware of the perils of dual conflicts, agreed to these terms. As Britain mourned Prince Albert, Lincoln expressed his condolences to Queen Victoria, underscoring the amicable relations between the nations. This gesture of diplomacy and shared sorrow laid the groundwork for a reciprocal display of sympathy from Queen Victoria when she later reached out to Mary Lincoln upon President Lincoln's assassination, highlighting a personal bond formed amidst national crises.Milbank LLP has initiated the bonus season in the legal industry by increasing associate salaries by $10,000 and announcing annual bonuses. The salary range for associates at the firm now stands between $225,000 and $425,000, with bonuses reaching up to $115,000. The firm's chairman, Scott Edelman, attributes this to the firm's sustained high activity levels and anticipates this trend to continue. This move may influence other major law firms to adjust their salary structures to stay competitive. Despite a quieter transactions market, the legal industry is expected to maintain the current bonus scale. The announcement is part of a broader trend where law firms announce year-end bonuses towards the end of the year, often leading to a series of matching bonuses across firms.Milbank Raises Associate Salaries And Announces Year-End Bonuses! - Above the LawMilbank Raises Associate Salaries, Kicks Off Bonus SeasonCravath, Swaine & Moore has introduced a salaried partner tier, reflecting a shift among elite Wall Street law firms to adapt their compensation structures in the face of new market pressures. This move aims to retain key talent and maintain competitiveness, offering salaries to partners rather than shares in firm profits. The firm, known for its high-profile client work and traditional business model, has also relaxed its seniority-based pay system. These changes come as the firm expands, opening a Washington office and entering the UK legal market, all while ensuring that salaried partners still have the opportunity to become equity partners, according to Cravath's presiding partner, Faiza Saeed.Cravath Adds Salaried Partner Tier in Latest Wall Street Shift (1)Ivanka Trump is scheduled to testify in a civil fraud trial involving her father Donald Trump's business practices. This trial, initiated by New York Attorney General Letitia James, alleges that the Trump family business inflated asset values. Judge Arthur Engoron has found evidence of fraud and is contemplating penalties. Donald Trump, along with his sons Donald Jr. and Eric, have denied any wrongdoing, attributing inaccuracies in property valuations to errors irrelevant to financial institutions. Ivanka was not deeply involved in the Trump Organization's operations during Trump's presidency and was dismissed from the case by an appeals court.

The office-sharing firm, supported by Softbank, filed for bankruptcy to manage over $4 billion in debt and high rent costs after a rapid expansion and a downturn in demand due to the pandemic. Despite renegotiating hundreds of leases, WeWork is looking to exit 69 more, including 41 in New York. U.S. bankruptcy law may give WeWork the leverage needed to reject these leases. The company, with $164 million in cash, is asking the court to allow the continuation of employee and critical vendor payments during the restructuring process.WeWork seeks permission to begin canceling leases in bankruptcy | ReutersAmazon's legal team, led by David Zapolsky, has sketched out their defense against the FTC's antitrust accusations in a private company meeting. Zapolsky called the company's actions "absolutely defensible behavior" and quoted Taylor Swift to underscore the company's stance against criticism. The FTC's lawsuit claims that Amazon has created an illegal monopoly by restricting sellers on its platform from offering lower prices on competing platforms. Amazon refutes these allegations, arguing that showcasing higher-priced products would undermine customer trust. The company, which has been under investigation for four years, may be forced to divest assets if the lawsuit succeeds. Zapolsky also addressed the FTC's criticism of Amazon's logistics services, emphasizing that their use is optional for sellers. He reassured employees that Amazon is familiar with such legal challenges and is prepared to defend its practices in court.Exclusive: Amazon.com previews FTC defense at companywide meeting -transcript | ReutersMy column this week is on the importance of the federal estate tax as a mechanism for combatting wealth inequality.The federal estate tax, designed to prevent wealth accumulation across generations, is exemplified by the case of George Steinbrenner, who passed away in 2010—a year when the estate tax was not in effect. Steinbrenner's estate benefited significantly, avoiding a tax that would have been imposed at a rate of 45% the previous year or 55% the following year. This absence of tax exemplifies how fortunes can be preserved and potentially grown through investment, influencing the wealth of future generations. The history of the estate tax in the United States dates back before the Revenue Act of 1916, which formally introduced variable rates based on estate value. These rates have changed over time, peaking at 77% during World War I to fund national efforts and declining thereafter, including a scheduled repeal in 2010.The impact of such a suspension is profound, with the Steinbrenner family's potential to grow their inheritance considerably through investments. For instance, if the tax savings were invested in an index fund or in a company like Apple Inc., the returns could have been substantial. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 further altered the estate tax landscape by doubling the exemption amounts, resulting in significant revenue loss for the government. This legislative change is temporary, however, set to expire in 2025. The Penn Wharton Budget Model suggests that without these cuts, the revenue generated could have been nine times greater, illustrating the substantial role of the estate tax in federal revenue generation.As wealth inequality continues to rise, the estate tax serves as a crucial tool in the pursuit of economic equity. Its effectiveness has waned over the decades due to increasing exemptions and decreasing rates. The upcoming expiration of the TCJA's provisions is an opportunity to reassess and restructure the estate tax to better align with its original intent. Reducing the exemption threshold and increasing rates could serve as a step toward mitigating wealth disparity, emphasizing the tax's role in promoting a more balanced economic landscape.Steinbrenner's Legacy Shows Importance of Federal Estate Tax Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

SCOTT EDELMAN- Foreign Service Officer (retired) U.S. Department of State - returns as our guest at Courageous Leadership with Virginia Prodan Podcast.

He also worked on loan to the State Department as a political officer at the United States Embassy in Bucharest, Romania (1984-86). After joining the Foreign Service in 1989, he served overseas as a consular and political officer in Poland (1990-92), commercial attaché in the Bahamas (1992-94), political officer in the United Arab Emirates (1997-2000), deputy consul at the U.S. consulate in Adana, Turkey (2001-02), U.S. consul in Izmir, Turkey (2002-04) and as the State Department advisor (POLAD) to the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet at its headquarters in Bahrain (2010-13). He also served as the political officer at the U.S. liaison mission in Mogadishu, Somalia during Operation Restore Hope (1993) and as a civilian observer with the international peacekeeping force in the Sinai, Egypt (1994-95). During the course of these assignments, he received two Superior Honor awards and a Meritorious Honor award. From 2004 to 2006, he was the analyst for Turkish affairs in the Department's Intelligence and Research Bureau (INR), receiving INR's Best New Analyst award in 2005. From 2009-10, he returned to INR as its sole (later senior) analyst for Iraq, receiving special recognition for his contributions to the 2010 National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on Iraq. From 2006-08, he was an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO (serving as the State Department's “diplomat in residence.”) Born in New York in 1955, Mr. Edelman received his BA in Politics (with a focus on Near Eastern studies) at Brandeis University, a law degree from the University of Connecticut, and pursued graduate studies in Government (National Security Studies) at Georgetown University. He speaks, at varying degrees of fluency, Hebrew, Arabic, French, Romanian, Polish and Turkish. His hobbies and interests include travel, history and photography. He is married and has one son.

My father was so honest, people often spoke of him in cliches. For example---you know the way someone will sometimes say so-and-so was so honest they'd walk five miles to return an extra nickel they'd been given in their change? Nobody means anybody actually did that kind of thing when they say it, of course---you and I both know they're only exaggerating for effect. Except in the case of my father. My Dad had really done that. Around the neighborhood, he was seen as so calm and understanding when compared to other fathers, other husbands . . . some of the grownups jokingly referred to him as Saint Barney. ©2023 by Scott Edelman.

Brian and Tim are back as we cover the final Bronze Age appearance of the Scott Edelman's Scarecrow in Marvel Two-In-One #18! This time around Brian is a bit salty and we are all a bit confused about the ending. Plus, why is the Torch on the cover? Why is the Thing being a jerk? Are there any artists in the super-hero community? How many 80's cartoon villains can we reference? What about Dave???

Your host comes from a week with the case of the Blahs in episode 059 of Sonitotum with Matthew Wayne Selznick. Sometimes, it goes down like that. Not every week is a good one; not every week is productive. We roll with it; we look ahead. Also in the episode: musing about ways to craft a patron member community that emphasizes value for everyone. Links and Topics Mentioned in This Episode Andrew Solomon, author of The Noonday Demon, provides his definition of depression. I mention the day job, which is helping authors, podcasters, and other creators bring their creative endeavors to fruition, to market, and to an audience. Can I help you? Work continues, piecemeal, on Shadow of the Outsider, the follow up to my previous novel Light of the Outsider and the novelette "The Perfumed Air at Kwaanantag Bay." Huzzah! My latest non-fiction book is Indie Author Marketing Infrastructure, a distillation of some of what I teach when I coach new writers considering self-publishing. The story of bottom line ads in Marvel comicbooks from the seventies... and Scott Edelman, the host of the Eating the Fantastic podcast, who just so happened to write most of the bottom line copy I saw as a kid! The WordPress plugin I'm using to insert random "top line" copy on my site is Random Content. The episode of Sonitotum about storyworlds and creative franchises is number 058. Hazy Days and Cloudy Nights: "How It All Got Started" is my fiction serial set in the 1980s and delivered weekly, for free, to subscribers. Get in on it and start at the beginning! My patron community receives the uncut, unedited version of every episode. For this episode, they're privy to about ten minutes of extra content! Want in on that? Become a patron for at least $5.00 per month (cancel any time) and get a bunch of other perks and special access, too. Around thirty people listen to each new episode of this show during the first week it's released. If most of the listeners became Exceptional patrons ($5.00 per month), patron revenue would surpass $100 per month, and I could begin donating 10% every month to 826 National in support of literacy and creative writing advocacy for children. Let's go! Oh, and speaking of patronage: This episode was made possible in part by the patronage of listeners like you, including J. C.  Hutchins and Ted Leonhardt. Want to support the show and be listed in the credits, plus get lots of other goodies, perks, and exclusive access? Become a patron with a $3, $5, $10, or $20 monthly pledge! Love Sonitotum with Matthew Wayne Selznick and would like to make a one-time donation in support of the show? Donate via PayPal or leave a tip via Ko-Fi, with my grateful thanks.

To capture the amazing life of Steve Gerber, we went way beyond Wikipedia. We got great stories from the one and only Mary Skrenes (his writing partner on Howard the Duck, Omega the Unknown and more) along with Gerry Conway, Scott Edelman and JM DeMatteis. Plus music by Adam Bernstein! What more do you need?

Hi, everybody. George flies solo this week to talk to eight time Stoker Award nominee Scott Edelman, formerly of the Marvel Bullpen and writer of comics for both Marvel and DC. He's an author of horror, science fiction, and fantasy short stories and his latest anthology is entitled Things That Never Happened. Scott attends multiple conventions each year and uses them as opportunities to share meals with friends and colleagues; some of the conversations had over those meals can be heard on his podcast called Eating The Fantastic. Examples of comic titles where you can find Scott's work from the 70's and early 80's include Captain Marvel, Shang Chi The Master of Kung Fu, Welcome Back Kotter, House of Mystery, and Weird War Tales.

Omega the Unknown was an incredible Steve Gerber - Mary Skrenes project, but two issues were fill-ins. Amir and Jason dig into those fill-in issues, exploring where they succeed and fail, and how they might have gone differently if Amir or Jason had written the comic instead of Scott Edelman and Roger Stern. It's an interesting listen, worth 30 minutes of your time!

In which we discuss our other favorite (or more favorite?) swampy man, Man-Thing!  We'll talk about the general history of boggy boys as well as the background of how Manny came to be.  We'll also talk about the weirdly suspicious timing of the release of Manny and Swamp Thing.  We'll discuss other details too, like how Steve Gerber almost got himself fired!Here it is, Episode 9!  We're almost at double digits!  I mean, unless you count the inventory episode.  Then we're there.  I wasn't counting it.  You can if you want.  Anyway, let us know how you're feeling!  Please leave a comment and rating if you're listening via a service like Apple Podcasts or Spotify or Stitcher or what have you.  If you want to get at us more directly, there's always the Facebook, Twitter, and email.  I'm also thinking about setting up an Instagram just to post a bunch of cool comics covers as I come across them.  Anyway, talk to us!Website:  https://pencilusinpodcast.buzzsprout.comFacebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/PencilUsInPodcastTwitter: @pencilusinemail: PencilUsInPodcast@gmail.comPhil here:  As per usual, much of the research came via TwoMorrows publishing's Back Issue magazine.  I'll tell you which ones below.Back Issue: 6, 31, 124As for links that might otherwise be interesting, it's a bit difficult with this one.  Gerber is so associated with Howard that most interviews focus on that with basically Man-Thing as a lead-up.  I did, however, find some interviews from before Howard's own book launched:Steve Gerber is interviewed by Scott Edelman back in 1975:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YU4-R2nIoYoAnother Gerber interview, this time by Walt Jaschek for the University of Missouri St. Louis newspaper:https://waltnow.com/portfolio/steve-gerber-is-smoking-comics-hottest-writer-takes-it-all-in/The specific comics that we read are as listed:Savage Tales: 1Astonishing Tales: 12, 13Fear: 10-19Man-Thing: 1-22Giant-Size Man-Thing(Insert snickering here): 1-5

Today we're covering a crossover between the Defenders and the Guardians of the Galaxy. This episode is about the Badoon who are extraterrestrial Bad-Dudes from our first Guardians of the Galaxy Coverage back in Episode 14. We’ve got a Time Travel Team-Up for you that goes into excruciating detail about how terrible the Badoon are! Dramatis Personae: Protagonists Defenders -Dr. Strange - Stephen Strange -Hulk - Bruce Banner -Nighthawk - Kyle Richmond -Valkyrie -Aragorn Guardians of the Galaxy -Vance Astro - Vance Astrovik -Charlie-27 -Martinex -Yondu - Yondu Udonta -Starhawk Jack Norriss Antagonists Eelar - YESSSS!!!!!!! Brotherhood of the Badoon Zoms Hard to Judge but… Good Grief Sisterhood of the Badoon -Queen Tolaria Giant Size Defenders (1972) 5 “Eelar Moves in Mysterious Ways Hulk is a whole mood in these issues and I love it. I don’t normally enjoy Hulk so much but Steve Gerber has a really fun voice for him throughout Why… why are the Defenders fighting… fish? Hulk doesn’t know, but he’ll do it! Eelar is kinda rad looking, actually These goons straight up shank someone in the beginning of this issue, and that’s surprising Charlie-27 sure is a slab-o-beef Going into this, my prediction is that Nighthawk is Starhawk I actually really like that the spaceship falling from the sky isn’t hidden from anyone. All the time in these stories they act like no one notices these things, but in this issue everyone notices, is kinda alarmed, then goes about with life as usual… which seems way more realistic to me Dude! Is it ever explained why the fish are involved? This kid… I feel bad for him and want Valkyrie to punch his dad in the stomach real good once I like this Vance Astro costume a lot Gerry Conway’s art in this is quite dynamic Hulk Punch Fire, not Fish… I’m crying! Getting the band back together to Mess Eelar Up! Oh boy, this kid is gonna cause trouble Defenders (1972) 26 -  “Savage Time” So, I gotta talk about this Valkyrie/Jack Norriss situation for a moment. There’s certainly backstory I’m missing but I feel terribly for everyone involved here. It honestly ripped me up reading this whole saga. I can’t imagine coming home one day and my wife legit didn’t know who I was. I’d probably act similarly to Jack here, honestly. Trying anything you can think of to spark a memory. At the same time Valkyrie is an entirely different person and has no memory. His forceful kiss is definitely line-crossing in very uncomfortable and bad ways… that said, again, were I in his shoes… It’s heartbreaking and tragic and I want the best for both of them and in 616, I just don’t expect it… All that said, Valkyrie is good peeps, she saves him without a second thought even after so remarkably uncomfortable a moment The Enterprise… I mean Captain America… nah, I mean Enterprise, is even more wrecked than it looked before and the News is covering it Oh man, an alien emerging from a space ship with a human kid… how are you still alive Martinex? Strange with the save! Major Vance Astro’s early recap is… pointed… at us… still… Humans raised as food, SNAP INTO A SLIM JIM! I had to go back to Two-in-One to see if Killraven was Wundarr. I’m still not sure, but refuse to google it Techno-Barrons is my new 80’s retro band Why is Aqua-Man in this issue? Dude, these Mercury dudes look Rad AF So… much… recap… Jack does need to back the heck off though The Enterprise is repaired and ready to head back to Stardate 1312.4 Defenders (1972) 27 - “Three Worlds to Conquer!” The Badoon are the worst Hulk is suspish of transport… AS HE SHOULD BE, DON’T YOU WATCH CGP GREY?!? Chill Jack, you still aren’t helping I kinda dig the half lizard half ape design here though Why is Valkyrie getting weaker? What the heck is happening? Woah… glowy person Planet of the Stereotypical 60’s Seriously, this issue has big Star Trek vibes I dig this robot design, and the bond between mama and babies Hulk don’t care though, HULK SMASH Dr. Strange-Tech is a thing I hope to see more if going forward So… how will it reveal that Nighthawk has become Starhawk? Oh good, it’s Denethor.... Wait, the Badoon Eliet Guard is 90% Zoms?!?! What the heck? Defenders (1972) 28 - “My Mother, the Badoon!” Excellent Opening Scene Hulk, I mean Charlie-27 SMASH So, Night enhances Nighthawks Powers? Cool! Will it enhance Starhawk’s powers though? How is this tied together? Digging future Nighthawk though Woah! Badoon Sisterhood City looks awesome At least we know the Badoon aren’t into corpse stabbing Techno-Bondage Hulk Action Figure! LOVING Super-Death Sweepstakes and ABSOLUTELY getting a Running Man vibe from it Yondu is one tough cookie The Badoon backstory is… yikes Starhawk is OUT Defenders (1972) 29 - “Let My Planet Go!” The Battle Royale between the Badoon and the Guardians and Defenders kicks off while Hulk and Yondu are still MIA Damsel is in distress and Hulk will SMASH (hyuck) Starhawk’s family is… normalish Hulk is indeed the strongest there is Hulk being teleported mid punch and absolutely leveling a Badoon is HILARIOUS slapstick comedy I really love how the battle royale begins at the start of the issue and just builds and builds throughout. It’s mostly just a fight issue but it’s so well done that it’s a ton of fun to read Strange and Jack to save the day! I’m starting to suspect that Nighthawk and Starhawk aren’t related That’s some cool eye-effect though with Starhawk Creators of these issues: Steve Gerber,Gerry Conway, Roger Slifer, Len Wein, Chris Claremont, Scott Edelman, Don Heck, Sal Buscema, Mike Esposito, Jim Mooney, Dave Hunt, Vince Colletta, Frank Giacoia, John Tartag, George Roussos, Irene Vartanoff, Glynis Wein, Al Wenzel, Dave Hunt, Artie Simek, Gaspar Saladino, Karen Mantlo, John Costanza, Joe Rosen, Len Wein, Marv Wolfman, Ron Wilson, Al Milgrom, Danny Crespi, Gil Kane, John Romita, Danny Crespi, Frank Giacoia, Gaspar Saladino Find us on Twitter @ArtifactsOfI and ArtifactsOfInfinity.com

Binge on bagels while sequestering with writer, editor, and Eating the Fantastic host Scott Edelman as he answers questions about whether his early days in fandom and early writing success helped his career, which anthology he'd like to edit if given the chance, what different choices he wishes he'd made over his lifetime, what he predicts for the future of food, how the pandemic has affected his writing, if anything he's written has ever scared him, whether writer's block is a reality or a myth, which single comic book he'd want to own if he could only have one, how often he's surprised by something a guest says, the life lessons he learned from Harlan Ellison, and much more.

Lily Yu 2 Twelve Histories Scrawled in the Sky by Aimee Ogden 3 […]

Practice social distancing with Scott Edelman, host of Eating the Fantastic, as he answers listener questions about his early days in the Marvel Comics Bullpen, the many things he and legendary editor Gardner Dozois shoved up their noses, when his food and fandom interests began to overlap, what he would have said to Harlan Ellison had he been in Barry Malzberg's shoes, whether experiencing personal tragedy helps or harms a writer, the cognitive dissonance he feel about comics having taken over the world, which characters caused him to start writing (hint: it was Conan the Barbarian), what he wishes he knew less about, who he was the most thrilled to have met in his life, whether he still gets a kick out of his favorite childhood treats, what a terrible collaborator he is, and much, much more.

100th ISSUE SPECTACULAR Cullen Bunn, J.M. DeMatteis, Scott Edelman, and Thomas Sniegoski join Christopher Golden and Brian Keene for this 100th-episode special, discussing the most ridiculous characters of Marvel Comic's Bronze Age.

Author Scott Edelman checks in from West Virginia. We talk about how the pandemic has derailed his podcast, Eating the Fantastic, after 120 episodes, all the conventions that have been cancelled and how much he misses them (and why Readercon is his fave), the solace he takes from Middlemarch, the books he's hoping to get to now that he's not reading for pod-guests, whether his zombie fiction has prepared him for the current situation, the joys of light opera, and more.

It's another Readercon episode! First, Liz Hand rejoins the show for a little conversation about what she's been reading lately (it's some creepy stuff, of course), the regenerative aspects of Readercon, why the novella is ideal for dark/spooky fiction, and whether the attendee wearing an ASIA t-shirt is doing so ironically. Then John Clute talks about the ruins of futurity and the launch of the Clute Science Fiction Library at Telluride Institute. We get into the need for visual presentation and accessibility of original books in their context (including dust jackets), his transition from book accumulator to collector, the externalization of one's mind into one's library, why he doesn't write fiction, the Easter eggs he sneaks into the Science Fiction Encyclopedia, why Galaxy Quest is the best Star Trek movie (except for Wrath of Khan), reaching a uniform degree of incompletion, generational shifts in SF/F, and the sneaky adoption of Fantastika.

No Charge? I Still Want A Refund! Hello, and welcome to episode 234 of The Fantasticast. Each week, Steve Lacey and Andy Leyland guide you through every issue, guest-appearance and cameo of The Fantastic Four. This week is a Marvel Two-in-One week, and what a week it is. Marvel Two-in-One #18 features possible the most obscure guest star to ever appear in the comic. It's The Scarecrow, and if you think you know who this guy is, you should probably check again. The inhabitant of a supernatural painting that also happens to be a portal to another dimension, The Scarecrow is here to make Ben reconsider his views on the Supernatural and to fail to do his one job. Bill Mantlo, Scott Edelman, Ron Wilson, Jim Mooney and Dan Adkins present a comic that completely fascinates Steve, as it works to incorporate a complex backstory and an entire supporting cast into one punch-happy team-up story. We also take a brief look at Super-Villain Team-Up #7, ignoring anything at all to do with The Shroud, and see just how the Fantastic Four react to being thrown out of Latveria by Henry Kissinger.
