    So far, enjoying it. Has a bit of a Masamume Shiro (Appleseed, specifically) vibe to it, without the gazillion layers of incomprehensible BS. And with action sequences that one can actually follow.

    The current Return of the Valkyries series is a perfect storm of things probably not ending well.

    Jason Aaron. The confusing canon of Marvel valkyries. Symbiotes. Sentry. Jane Foster.

    I cannot foresee this mix of things not working out perfectly for all comics fans.

    Beadle...Beadle, the 'science lab engineers' who are designing our new building...with their 'professional skills and experience'....they're terrible, Beadle. Terrible. ​

    ;_;

    They've put the safety showers in the labs. In every lab. You know, where the spill that makes the person need a shower would have happened (sundry other potentials for harm, but this one is the worst one).

    *beats head against wall*

    I mean, totally expected, but still.

    But did they remember to fit the neon lighting, stiletto-heel shoe rack and magitech soil-test centrifuge system?

    Oh those are just for fun. Fun showers.

    In unrelated news I'm finally watching the Expanse and it is intense.

    It’s good, isn’t it?

    Nice to see a sci-fi series that takes the science seriously.

    I follow it because it has an aesthetic that intermingled Battle Angel Alita with Neo-Noir elements that appealed to me, and seems to get stronger the further you go into the story.
