"Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

OK, as my first entry has already been taken, I will go with something a little less common than Planet Comics...

It seems like all the best covers are taken. I really like many of them. Going to be hard to find one this week.

I think restorative nostalgia is the number one issue with comic book fans.
A fine distinction between two types of Nostalgia:
Reflective Nostalgia allows us to savor our memories but accepts that they are in the past
Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.

I thought this was pretty cool. The Starmus Festival in Zurich honored some of the Apollo astronauts; Buzz Aldrin (Apollo 11) Michael Collins (Apollo 11), Harrison Schmidt (Apollo 17) Charlie Duke (Apollo 16) and Al Worden (Apollo 15) Queen's Brian May, who attends regularly and has a degree in astrophysics, teamed up with an orchestra lead by composer Hans Zimmer to honor them with a rendition of We Are The Champions. Unfortunately the vocalist botched the lyrics a bit. It's a shame Freddie is no longer with us. The astronauts come on stage towards the end.
First series I thought about ...
Every day is a gift, not a given right.
I hate that you guys aren't making this easy. Lots of good covers this week.
