I think wrightworth is so much better when it's Miles who's the mess who burns water and Phoenix who's better at daily functional things like cooking, cleaning, etc.
Miles Edgeworth is a man who has a tea set delivered to his office by a local hotel. He does not know how to cook.

September 1986. Launched a month after the end of CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS, SECRET ORIGINS was ostensibly a way for DC to put its new house in order, continuity-wise, initially alternating Golden Age and modern origins and then (starting in this issue) combining one of each. Publishing the origin of the Golden Age Batman who had just been pointedly and retroactively erased in the Crisis was perhaps off-message, and while Roy Thomas does cross a few "t"s and dot a few "i"s, Batman's origin was in no way "secret." However, the first half of this issue is nonetheless a welcome if bittersweet farewell to the original Batman, with exquisite artwork by Marshall Rogers (who also colored it himself) and Terry Austin that establishes a vivid sense of time and place, adding to the story's autumnal atmosphere:
Consequently, this is one of Thomas's finest "Earth-2" stories, and a fitting bookend to Alan Brennert's "The Autobiography of Bruce Wayne" three years earlier. (It's reprinted in the LEGENDS OF THE DARK KNIGHT: MARSHALL ROGERS hardcover, although frustratingly, no attempt was made to adjust Rogers' carefully selected color palette to suit the whiter, glossier paper, making the colors far brighter and gaudier than Rogers intended.)
The Halo origin is less successful, illustrating what would become an ongoing problem for SECRET ORIGINS: trying to sum up a complicated storyline (which originally unfolded over the course of many issues of BATMAN AND THE OUTSIDERS) in a few pages, making it largely redundant for people familiar with the original story and yet unlikely to entice or even make much sense to readers who had never heard of the character.

Rampaging Hulk No.1 & No.2 from Jan & Apr 1977 respectively - a great black & white mag from Marvel with superb art by Walt Simonsen, Alfredo Alcala, John Buscema, Bob Brown and Rudy Nebres. Both covers by the late, great Ken Barr!

"Viewed from the vantage of a warm house and civilized pursuits, forty wasn’t old. On a mountain in the snow every year gone by made itself felt. [The younger people surrounding Anna] still possessed reserves of energy. On principle, Anna cursed everyone under thirty."

[Fantasia 2024] In Sunburnt Unicorn, What is Alls Well Doesn't Bode Well for Those Scared of the Future
As @fantasiafest #fantasiafest #fantasia2024 comes to a close, I offer a look at what may be the best in #animation! #fantasy #moviereview of Sunburnt Unicorn at:
North American premiere at Fantasia Film Festival 2024
Spoiler Alert
Frankie’s got a horn in Sunburnt Unicorn, and he doesn’t know how to use it. That’s because it may well be a car part embedded on his forehead after an accident has stranded him and his dad in a desert. As. for whether the fever dream that comes from being in the dry world for too long is real or not, I’m enjoying the concept!…
