Elizabeth Sandifer created Eruditorum Press. She’s not really sure why she did that, and she apologizes for the inconvenience. She currently writes Last War in Albion, a history of the magical war between Alan Moore and Grant Morrison. She used to write TARDIS Eruditorum, a history of Britain told through the lens of a ropey sci-fi series. She also wrote Neoreaction a Basilisk, writes comics these days, and has ADHD so will probably just randomly write some other shit sooner or later. Support Elizabeth on Patreon.

    Ah, so the L wasn't there. I was beginning to question my sanity – but I know it was real, etc, etc, reference.

    I know who the parents of the Endless are! The clues were in plain sight in Sandman Overture #2 and #4 all but confirms my theory!

    SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS!

    The Endless are the offspring of Time and Night.

    Consider…

    ISSUE 2, PAGE 1
    DANIEL: But even I cannot argue with time.
    **
    LUCIEN: Where are you going?
    DANIEL: It is TIME, Lucien. As I said.

    ISSUE 2, PAGE 14
    ANCIENT DREAM: We are the heirs of Night and Time.

    ISSUE 2, PAGE 22
    STARRY BLUE WOMAN: In *TIME
    , it will be mine again. Speaking of WHICH… has HE sent any word?

    I just figured it was their eighth older sibling: Decision. Damn that Harry Potter fan fic.

    I haven't read Multiversity at all yet, but I really enjoyed Mike Kunkel's short run on Billy Batson & the Magic of Shazam, the ongoing series that followed after Jeff Smith's series. The bulk of that series ended up being written (but not drawn) by Art Baltazar & Franco, and those issues were just okay.

    But the first four by Kunkel were terrific – a worthy successor to Smith's story.

    Absolutely loving Ms Marvel, the only complaint I have is that I want more every time (comics are too quick to read). It continues to be one of the things I look forward to every month and leaves me desperate for the next moth to race by. The writing continues to be excellent, and the art remains beautiful – something about the sheer simplicity of this issue's themes really resonated with me. The scene where Kamala talks the teens round in to helping her was the highlight for me.

    "Yeah, we've gotta do something drastic. But not this. This is not saving the world. This is admitting the world is over. This is saying our generation will never matter. But we have to matter. If we don't, there is no future worth saving."

    Just… yeah, just incredible.

    I finally figured out that Captain Marvel and Ms. Marvel are two different comics. Now that I've read both, I understand why everyone was raving about Ms. Marvel — it's awesome. Captain Marvel, not so much, but I can see why some people might be into it.

    Am I the only one who, when reading about "inverted" characters, takes a minute to remember the premise of Axis, and briefly thinks this is an archaic and possibly offensive way of saying they're gay?

    I am? Okay, then.

    It's sort of interesting in that when Billy transforms – the line could be taken as an "out" to the villain and in line with the modern idea that billy and Captain Marvel are one and the same or that (as in the original) they are different people entirely… and that is sorta confirmed with the subway line later.
