FIVE YEARS SOBER… On this day, 5yrs ago, I vowed never to drink again. Immediately following Randi’s funeral, week after week I started going to AA & putting focus into the comic books that were always there. ❤️ Alcohol is cunning, baffling, powerful. There is a solution. 💫 – at Key West, FL

This is my final Twitter post with a very special message. 💫

TWO FOR TUESDAY This is the 1995 future Last Avengers Story. Ultron & the Avengers team up to take down Kang. 💥 Election Day: a dark oppressive future if Democrats & Republicans don’t join to put a stop to evil by defeating Donald Trump. Only YOU can protect society! VOTE!!! 💫

MS. MARVEL MONDAY This is the 2006 first appearance of Chewie, Carol Davners’ cat. 😼 Did you know it took until 2014, in Captain Marvel 7 vol.8, to discover Chewie was an alien Flerken? The MCU films changed Chewie’s name to Goose for unknown reasons. 💫

MATT MURDOCK MONDAY This is the 2010 issue that asked, “who would win in a fair fight, Daredevil or Luke Cage?” Signed by penciler, Sean Chen. 💥 I hope these posts have been a nice diversion from the very real cage match going on tomorrow night. Vote by tomorrow! 💫
