The Awakening [Comic]
From Action Comics #1 (1938) to Whiz Comics (1940) – The Secret Tale
I’ve been following comic artist Kerry Callen for over a decade, and the guy never ceases to amazing me with his talent and creativity. His latest creation features two iconic comic book covers—Action Comics #1, where Superman is catching a car, and the February 1940 edition of Whiz Comics, where Captain Marvel is tossing what seems to be the same car (albeit in a different color)—and has filled in the story between the two. Check it out!

“Why Cheese?” A Romantasy with Were-Cheese Men Who Are Sharp, Smooth, and Ready for Love!
Get ready to have your heart—and your taste buds—grated by Ellen Mint’s latest masterpiece, Why Cheese? This 350-page romantasy were-cheese thriller is the perfect blend of steamy romance, cheesy puns, and a plot so ridiculous, it’s brie-yond your wildest dreams.
Violette Reely thought inheriting her great uncle’s abandoned cheese shop was a stroke of luck. What she didn’t expect was to find a trapdoor hiding a secret basement… and four naked men who were definitely cheese wheels just moments earlier. Talk about a gouda surprise!
By day, these cursed hunks are trapped as cheeses. By night, they’re human—and they’re wheely hot. Roq is the brooding leader who’s tough as parmesan and twice as sharp. Cam is the flirty bad boy with lines as smooth as a fresh wheel of brie. Cheddy’s got the kind of hunky charm that makes you want to shred all your inhibitions, while Brie’s sweet, artistic soul is impossible not to fondue over.
Violette’s caught in a real pickle. These men need her help to protect them while they’re vulnerable, but centuries of betrayal have left them grilled. And Violette has a secret of her own, one that could send their budding romance straight into the cheddar. Can she crack the code to their curse, or will she let her feelings melt away like butter on toast?
If you’re a fan of fantasy romance that’s as heart-melting as it is hilarious, Why Cheese? is the gouda-st book you’ll read this year. Pour a glass of wine, grab some snacks, and dive into this legend-dairy tale of love, trust, and the magic of perfectly aged passion.
Available now—because life’s too short not to fall in love with sexy were-cheese men. And if you’re curious, there’s a free sample chapter waiting for you on the book’s Amazon page!

Tesla Robots Fight Back – The Future Is Now… and It’s Hilarious!
Love Tesla? Hate Tesla? Just here for the snacks? Doesn’t matter, because SoKrispyMedia’s “Tesla Robots Fight Back” is a ride you need to take. Directed by Sam Wickert, this short action-comedy imagines what happens when Tesla’s cars (and their latest update) and Optimus humanoid robots get a little… let’s say, spicy.
Packed with epic car chases, battling robots, and laugh-out-loud moments, Tesla Robots Fight Back delivers action and comedy like never before. From “Slime Time” to Gatling guns, this film redefines what a Tesla software update could mean—and it’s as terrifying as it is hilarious.
As Tesla gears up to mass-produce its Optimus humanoid robots this year, this short raises an important question: Are we ready for a robot uprising? Spoiler: Nope. But are we ready to put googly eyes on a cybertruck? Totally.
Benedict Cumberbatch reads a letter to a man blow-drying his balls at the gym
At Letters Live in December 2024, Benedict Cumberbatch took the stage at London’s Royal Albert Hall to deliver one of the most hilariously awkward letters ever written. Penned in 2011 by Ross Beeley, this open letter to a gym-goer who aired out more than just his laundry is a comedic masterpiece—and Cumberbatch’s reading takes it to a whole new level.

SpaceX Starship Ends in Fiery Spectacle Over Turks and Caicos
SpaceX’s seventh Starship test flight yesterday was a spectacle of engineering and unexpected drama. The 403-foot-tall (123-meter) megarocket lifted off successfully from Starbase in South Texas, achieving stage separation and a return of its Super Heavy booster, caught mid-air by the launch tower’s “chopstick” arms.
But eight minutes into the flight, contact with the upper stage, Ship, was lost, and moments later, it exploded in a dazzling display over Turks and Caicos. The real star of the story? A family visiting the islands who captured the breathtaking moment on video. Their footage shows the fiery stream of debris lighting up the night sky in dramatic fashion, providing a front-row seat to the unplanned fireworks.
