I want to start doing comic reviews of individual issues for fun. I'm not hoping to make it a job or get monitized or anything but I would like it to look nice. I want to be able to do some slow scrolls over pages of the books and I guess it's called the Ken burns effect but I'm not sure the best app to use for this, preferably one that's free. If you have an idea please let me know, thanks!

What do you collect? Do you have a specific goal?

I'm not sure this is the right place but I figured someone in here has read the series recently and my question is just honestly, is it worth finishing? I'm 22 issues in so a little bit more than halfway and while the first handful of issues really caught my interest and I found myself really excited to find out what happened next something has changed since then. I feel like so many of the panels are needlessly wordy and adopt a "tell don't show" mentality, which is a shame because the artwork is great and has been the entire series. My second big issue is that I don’t care about the secret squirrel stuff at all. I didn’t grow up watching him and it always just feels like something that slows down any type of momentum in the Scooby stories. My final thought is that it just feels like Daphne, Velma, and now Daisy are just girl bosses who are having to constantly save the guys from their own cowardice and stupidity. I don’t know, I would like to know what happens, but I just don’t know if I want to slog through another 14 issues. What do y’all think?

Tomorrow I'm trying to go to First Coast Comic Con (if my babysitter is available). I have really wanted to pick up a copy of X-men 101 while there. I know last show I went to a vendor from the area was selling one so I'm hoping he's there. My question is that I have a few books i am considering trying to trade in towards the grail. They're a 9.8 absolute batman 1st printing, an 8.5 ASM 300, and an 8.0 ASM 194. Obviously 300 is a classic and hasn't gone anywhere, 194 I feel has the most to gain since there's always a chance Black Cat makes it into the MCU, and then obviously Absolute Batman has gone to the moon in recent weeks. I'm regards to that last one though we're just gonna see more and more 9.8s crop up so is it wise to sell now? What would you do? Move one, two, all three, or just do nothing? Thank you for any advice or opinions

Is there a way to search something like "X-men" and then just get all the actual series instead of 100 options for 1 issue facsimile reprints?

I'm interested in buying some models to paint and maybe eventually play. The only miniature game I've ever played is age of sigmar, and I've built and painted a decent amount of 40k as well. I just wanted to ask how the models compare to Warhammer? Are they bigger, smaller, same size? Thank you

This might be an odd one but I wanted to see if anybody had any ideas of adventurous birding trips? This past year I started a new tradition where in January (I'm a teacher so I'm on Christmas break) I go for a birding trip before school returns. This year I went to Orlando and Merritt Island because I'm from Florida anyway so it was only a couple hours drive and it was great. My wife has no interest in birds at all, but she loves hikes and nature (ironically except Florida because she says the heat just isn't worth the hike). She loves adventure and climbing mountains and things like that. So I'm trying to figure out maybe a destination in the US for next year that would require some adventuring to get to the bird watching if that makes any sense. Not just a boardwalk down and back, but something that requires some real effort. Any suggestions would be helpful, thanks!

I just hit 100 hours today, almost all of which have been in a single Universe (I'm in year 2 and halfway through September). It got me wondering how much time other Pele have invested so far

I'm a teacher at a very small private school in Florida. I enjoy it and enjoy the teaching for the most part, but recently I had a parent who had access to my personal phone number give it to her kid (12 year old) to "report bullying" that was happening to her on Instagram. That was inappropriate to begin with, and the kid never sent anything but the kid then proceeded to share it in a Snapchat group chat with a bunch of other kids both from our school and not. Now I'm getting prank calls from one student in particular that doesn't even go to our school. My big issue now is that after I found out she shared the number I went ahead and wrote up a referral for documentation because I think she was wildly in the wrong here. The parent thinks that's ridiculous because allegedly someone asked for the number (which is stupid because she should never have had it to begin with). Now I am having a meeting with the parent angry about the referral. Any suggestions for how to beat handle this? Our handbook doesn't exactly have this scenario to fall back on
