End of Life #3 gives us a small sliver of a reason to cheer on Eddie… and lots of toilet humor
Eddie has a Big Cock problem: The chicken-headed Menagerie assassin has found his way to Pluto. Who could’ve given up Eddie’s secret? Or is Big Cock here for another purpose? Whatever the answer is, it’s obviously all Eddie’s fault, and now the whole town is in danger. Oh, and it gets worse. Deep within the confines of the abandoned Wrong dog Park, Richard Smiley is working on a plan to take Eddie down and tighten his criminal grip on the town…

If you are a Mario Kart fan, government is Yoshi and philanthropy is the Golden Mushroom – Zohran Mamdani
New York City’s Mayor Zohran Mamdani is showing its politician’s unwillingness to act that has left so many Americans behind. In just a few months he’s launched numerous initiatives to better the city and attempt the make the lives of its residents better. He’s also savvy, simplifying issues in ways the average person can understand and relate.
Mamdani is attempting to get New Yorkers to donate to the Child Care Action Fund. It provides universal child care to everyone in the city who needs it. Its raised $3.5 million but needs $16.5 million to reach its goal, a drop in the bucket for the ultra-rich that call New York City home. While he’s talked about raising taxes on the ultra-wealthy, this one is being funded through just good old donations.
Mamdani took to explaining it all through Mario Kart in an April 16 press conference.
I like to think of it this way: government is driving the racecar, and philanthropy is there to give it that turbo boost across the finish line. Or, if you are a Mario Kart fan, government is Yoshi and philanthropy is the golden mushroom—that edge we need to beat Bowser on the Rainbow Road. To belabor this metaphor even further, Bowser is corporate greed in this scenario.
One of Mario Kart’s more fun mechanics is giving those behind in the race better items to help them compete while those ahead get less useful items.

The Death Star is destroyed. Darth Vader is dead. The Empire is desolate. But on the forest moon of Endor, among the chaos of a changing galaxy, time stands still for a princess and her scoundrel.
After being frozen in carbonite, then risking everything for the Rebellion, Han is eager to stop living his life for other people. He and Leia have earned their future together, a thousand times over. And when he proposes to Leia, it’s the first time in a long time he’s had a good feeling about this. For Leia, a lifetime of fighting doesn’t seem truly over. There is work still to do, penance to pay for the dark secret that she now knows runs through her veins. Her brother, Luke, is offering her that chance—one that comes with family and the promise of the Force. But when Han asks her to marry him, Leia finds her answer immediately on her lips . . . Yes.
Yet happily ever after doesn’t come easily. As soon as Han and Leia depart their idyllic ceremony for their honeymoon, they find themselves on the grandest and most glamorous stage of all: the Halcyon, a luxury vessel on a very public journey to the most wondrous worlds in the galaxy. Their marriage, and the peace and prosperity it represents, are a lightning rod for all—including Imperial remnants still clinging to power.
Facing their most desperate hour, the soldiers of the Empire have dispersed across the galaxy, retrenching on isolated planets vulnerable to their influence. As the Halcyon travels from world to world, one thing becomes abundantly clear: The war is not over. But as danger draws closer, Han and Leia find that they fight their best battles not alone, but as husband and wife.

Crowdfunding Corner: The Boys 20th Anniversary Graphic Novel Editions
Welcome to our revamped “Crowdfunding Corner” rounding up some of the latest crowdfunding news. We’re going beyond just announcement projects, we’ll be tracking to make sure these projects get delivered as well as what we think the “risk” of backing them are.
We’ll be updating the format as we get a better handle of the needs of this sort of coverage, so stay tuned and check out the first round of projects!
The Boys 20th Anniversary Graphic Novel Editions
Publisher: Dynamite Entertainment
Creative Team: (w) Garth Ennis (a) Darick Robertson
Launch Date: Currently Funding – ends May 20 2026 9:00 PM EDT
Risk: Low – Dynamite has run previous campaigns and delivered
Fans of The Boys can celebrate two terrific decades of supes-smearing with a brand new set of complete paperback omnibuses celebrating the anniversary. With the fifth and final season of the flagship show on Amazon’s Prime Video airing now, it’s the perfect time to grab the revered original comics and add them to your shelf and binge list.
TheBoys made a huge splash when it debuted in 2006 by co-creators Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, quickly courting controversy. Dynamite was proud to take in the title and continue publishing it for nearly 100 issues, across the core title and multiple companion miniseries. Flash forward 20 years and the series has become canonized as one of the preeminent deconstructions and satires of the superhero genre. With the smash-hit show developed by Eric Kripke (Supernatural) and starring fan-favorites Karl Urban, Antony Starr, Jack Quaid, Erin Moriarty, Jensen Ackles, and so many more, a whole new legion of fans have continued to get to know this riotous world and beloved characters.
The perfect way to celebrate that legacy is re-presenting this set of six scintillating tomes, formatted as handy, chunky paperback feasts for the eyes. With newly designed packaging marking the anniversary, each volume is jam packed with the most twisted superhero story ever published!
On the Kickstarter, each volume is available separately, double-signed by both Ennis and Robertson, and both offerings are available as a complete set. Fans who go for the full set, signed or not, get an extra bonus! What could be better than nabbing all six volumes of the 20th Anniversary The Boys Omnibuses? How about getting a free The Boys #1 Holofoil variant. This special collectible comic would normally be valued at $100.
In addition to the omnibuses, collectors can scope out a new mystery blind bag offering for The Boys. Each bag contains three separate limited edition variants of key issues from the series. Unique variants never before offered, featuring premium enhancements like virgins, foil, and more can be found within these thrilling bags.
Ultra-rare collectible metal editions of key issues The Boys #1 and #3 are also being offered.
Fan-favorite artist Ken Haeser is also ready with his ink-slinging abilities to illustrate sketch covers of main characters of The Boys for the original art collections of fans looking for something special and one-of-one!
This campaign is set to run for a limited time, just over a month coinciding with the release of The Boys Season 5. So fans should pledge now, whether they want this can’t-miss deal on these special edition omnibuses, ultra-rare comic book collectibles or all the other awesome options!
