scans_dailyA recent question from one of our members about the suitability of a comic which addresses political matters, which they were considering making a post about has reminded the Mods about what Scans_Daily is for, and it seems salient to mention it aloud.
"All art is political" is a given, and graphic storytelling is no exception. "Political" cartoons in newspapers etc have been a part of media for literally centuries.
Art also reflects the real world, metaphorically or directly, and that can make certain topics extra sensitive one way or the other.
Provided such comics do not promote hate or spread falsehoods without challenge or context, we have no issue with them being posted on S_D and encourage civilised dialogue.
Allowing them to be posted is making a political stance. NOT allowing them to be posted would still be a political stance, just a different one.
Our rules of behaviour apply to all posts. We trust all our members will be able to follow them, and we're here if anyone has any concerns.

Poor J'onn. He has been around almost as long as everybody else, but he could never seem to hold down a solo series.
Any way, this issue is a new retelling of J’onn’s origin story.

Captain America #1 (2025-) is a flashback.
Aug. 6th, 2025 07:03 pmthanekos posting in scans_dailyIt's Steve Rogers just after he came out of the ice.
It's also someone else before that - a new character's origin, grounded like Steve's in real history.
The first page hits the reader with that, a reminder of the passage of time - appropriate when the story involves fresh-from-the-ice Steve.
( The new character's young - and shocked. )

Giant Girl Adventures
Aug. 6th, 2025 05:57 pmshakalooloo posting in scans_dailyWhile it's had a patchy time of it, Giant Girl Adventures is a webcomic that started way back in 2012. I will admit, the original artist's style was not my cup of tea, but the new regular artist - one Dee Fish - has made it very eye-catching. Why, just look at the cover below!
It's the cover for an upcoming collection, just launched on Kickstarter. That bein' a crowd-funding platform, I figured it might help to try and rile up a little more crowd.

If I remember correctly from the old days, people liked the Kate Spencer version of Manhunter. What about Mark Shaw?
