dw_community_promoStarting today: Summer of the 69 is an old-fashioned panfandom fest that runs from June 9th through September 6th, to hit 6/9 in both common date formats. It's dedicated to creations featuring the sexual position in question, though it doesn't have to be the first, last, or only sexual position featured in a given work.
Contributions are open to all sorts of non-gen-AI works and content, from recs to fics to art to crafts to podfic to vids to just about anything legal you can think of, and are open to all fandoms and original works. The fest features themes introduced weekly that themselves typically run for two weeks, to give participants some inspiration to work off of. There's also a comment meme in the style of old-fashioned kink memes, where you can prompt scenarios to your heart's content!

Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday
Jun. 9th, 2026 09:07 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.
Given that they've built a giant lightning conductor in the shape of a cage match ring on the lawn of the White hosue, and there may be thunderstorms in the next few days, Mother Nature has the chance to do the FUNNIEST thing this week!
The World Cup kicks off this week, and we wish the many, MANY teams well. I suspect they'll need it given we've already had a well-respected Somali referee refused entry to the US because of Trump's immigration policies.
We lost Anthony Head at the age of 72. Best known as the surrogate father figure of a generation in Buffy, and the definitely NOT the desired father figure of Uther in BBC's Merlin amongst many other stage and screen roles. The outpouring of love for him from basically everyone he ever worked with has been profound, all speaking of his kindness, humour and unflagging support for young and new actors and crew. Too short a life, but one well lived.
I appreciate I've still to make the Pride post I mentioned last week, for which my apologies, it will be coming shortly.

106 of 108. Giffen and DeMatteis’ collaborations continued on a few JLI-adjacent properties and a few works that had nothing to do with the JLI. They could dip into nostalgia now and then, but their real skill was trying new stuff or putting new spins on things. ( So it’s amazing they even HAD such long careers in comics, considering. )
Storm: Earth's Mightiest Mutant #5

The last issue of Murewa Ayodele Storm came out this week, having lasted a respectable twenty issues. It dies as it lived - utterly insane.

She-Ra is Bloodthirsty and Judge-y
Jun. 6th, 2026 11:23 pmshakalooloo posting in scans_daily
With the MotU movie out (I'm gonna see it this Sunday!) I looked back through Dark Horse's mahoosive compilation of the classic mini-comics that came packed with the action figures. Some were familiar and nostalgic, others weird and enlightening, some cheap and crappy and worst of all, some were New Adventures of He-Man.
Something with which I had no familiarity - even though one of sisters totally had She-Ra toys - was the Princess of Power line. And boy, that Adora is both quick to throw out death threats and a believer that pretty=good...
Apologies for the poor scan quality - a 1200+ page hardcover is a pain to scan.

Absolute Guy Gardner is Disgusting in a Different Way
Jun. 6th, 2026 10:02 pmshakalooloo posting in scans_daily
A beard in place of a bowl-cut, Absolute Guy Gardner is just learning how to utilise his powers as he fights the Blackstars. I find it a weird trend that this is the second Absolute title to show such a weapon...

Remember the Good Old Days (Inaccurately)?: THE '90S: JLA RETROACTIVE #1
Jun. 5th, 2026 11:03 amtcampbell1000 posting in scans_daily
105 of 108. Giffen, DeMatteis, and Maguire reunited for the last time in 2013. The DC Retroactive comics offered a chance for such old comics teams to…like the crew in a heist movie…come out of inactivity to pull one last job. ( Except for the part where that one job paid enough for them to retire. )
