As a writer, and someone who likes to think of myself as a student of history, I love finding inspiration in real places.

Over the last few weeks, we've explored everything from world-famous sites like Masada to lesser-known treasures such as Bet She'an National Park, the Beit Alpha Synagogue, and the incredible mosaic floor preserved there. Every place has a story. Some are known around the world, while others are hidden gems waiting to be discovered.

I've been collecting images and research from these incredible places near the Dead Sea, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and beyond to craft new narratives and expand the lore of *Hunters of Sheydim*. It's been an incredibly rewarding experience.

What real-world location would you most like to see featured in a comic book? It can be anywhere in the world.

For Shabbat reading this week, as we're down to our last few days in Israel, I'm catching up on Amazing Spider-Man. I know I'm still behind everyone else, as I only have issues up to LGY #991, but I'm excited to keep pushing toward #1000.

I'm also finally getting around to reading Spider-Man & Superman, a book I've been meaning to crack open for what feels like forever.

The final *Supergirl* trailer has arrived, and like the previous trailers, I'm still very interested in what they're building here.

It's a crowded marketplace for blockbuster films these days, and this summer is no exception. What I continue to like is the direction they're taking with Supergirl herself. The punk-rock, rebellious aesthetic isn't exactly new to superhero films, but it's not an approach we've really seen attached to Supergirl before, and so far I think it fits. It certainly helps when you've got alien bikers tearing across the galaxy with the Main Man himself, Lobo, leading the charge.

I've also noticed that some people seem determined to dislike this movie before it even arrives. Whether it's endless debates about casting, out-of-context interviews, or outrage generated for the sake of outrage, it can be exhausting. That's modern fandom sometimes. At a certain point, I'd rather judge the film on its own merits than on the noise surrounding it.

What has me most curious is how this movie fits into the larger DC Universe. We've now seen more of David Corenswet's Superman than I expected, and I'm starting to wonder if his role is more substantial than a simple cameo. If that's the case, and if *Supergirl* lands with audiences, the idea of a future Superman/Supergirl team-up film could be a lot of fun.

For now, I'm just looking forward to seeing the movie on the big screen and finding out whether it delivers on the promise these trailers have shown.

What do you think of the final trailer? Are you planning to see *Supergirl* in theaters?

I'm a huge fan of Insomniac's *Spider-Man* games, so I've been following the development of *Wolverine* for quite a while. The early gameplay already looked great, but the recently released extended trailer completely sold me.

My son and I had a blast pausing and rewatching scenes to spot all the X-Men connections. So far it looks like we'll be seeing Jean Grey, the Reavers, Sabretooth, Omega Red, Bolivar Trask, Mystique, Sentinels, and Ogun. I also swear I caught glimpses of the Morlocks, and Leech was definitely among the kidnapped mutants Logan appears to be rescuing.

I honestly can't believe how bloody this game is. It may be the most violent Marvel game ever made, and somehow it still feels completely true to Wolverine.

The locations look fantastic too. We've seen Madripoor, Canada, and Tokyo, but I'm still hoping we'll get a trip to upstate New York and maybe, just maybe, Manhattan. And with Insomniac's shared universe, it's hard not to wonder if a certain wall-crawler might make an appearance.

September 15 can't get here fast enough.

What Marvel characters are you hoping to see show up in *Wolverine*?

This week’s Shabbat reading is *Shade, the Changing Man*.

Originally created by Steve Ditko for DC Comics in 1977, I'm reading the three-volume Vertigo series by Peter Milligan and Chris Bachalo from 1990.

I've been digging deeper into the stranger corners of the DC Universe lately, and at this point it would be impossible to ignore *Shade* any longer. I've gotten a lot of recommendations for this series over the years, so I'm looking forward to finally diving in.

From what I understand, the story follows Rac Shade, an alien poet and secret agent who takes over the body of a human serial killer and is sent to stop a growing tide of madness from destroying the planet. It certainly sounds strange enough to fit right in with some of the books I've been reading lately. Unfortunately, the idea of a growing tide of madness may feel even more relevant today than it did in the quiet 1990s.

What are you reading this Shabbat? Any recommendations for what I should pick up next week?

After a very long wait, *House of the Dragon* Season 3 is finally almost here.

It's been nearly two years since the Season 2 finale, and it has me wondering: is this just the new normal for television?

Shows seem to have shorter seasons than ever, yet the gaps between them keep getting longer. I understand the scale involved, especially on effects-heavy productions like *House of the Dragon*, but I also wonder if these extended waits risk pushing shows toward irrelevance.

That said, the new trailer looks incredible.

Season 2 showed the escalation of the Dance of the Dragons. Season 3 looks ready to show the true cost. What began as a succession dispute has become a full-scale dragon civil war, and the destruction appears catastrophic. One of the most fascinating dynamics remains that Rhaenyra and Alicent seem to keep searching for a path to peace behind closed doors, while figures like Aemond and Daemon are increasingly committed to winning through force.

After watching *A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms* last year, it's easy to understand why Westeros eventually ends up in shambles and why the dragons disappear from the world. The closest comparison might be dropping nuclear weapons into a medieval society and watching the consequences ripple through generations.

Everything in the trailer suggests Season 3 will be chaos, tragedy, and devastation on a scale we've only glimpsed so far.

What do you think? Are these two-year waits becoming too long, or is this simply the reality of prestige television now?

I’ve watched the first two episodes of *Spider-Noir* and, so far, I’m enjoying it.

The aesthetic and time period are fantastic. The series really leans into its pulp detective roots, and at times it feels like a Spider-Man story filtered through *Dick Tracy*. I’ve enjoyed spotting noir-inspired versions of familiar Marvel characters, including Robbie Robertson, Felicia Hardy, Sandman, Silvermane, and Tombstone. I’m also curious to see where some of the newer characters fit into the larger mythology. Addison, in particular, has me wondering if there’s a connection to Mark Raxton, the Molten Man. And judging by the trailers, it looks like Electro may be waiting in the wings as well.

That said, my biggest struggle so far is Spider-Noir himself.

Maybe I just need more time with the character, but his overall vibe feels a little off to me. The accent shifts, the theatrical delivery, and some of the puns and one-liners feel awkward compared to the rest of the cast. At times it almost feels like he’s performing in a different show while everyone else is playing the noir elements completely straight. It hasn’t ruined the series for me, but it has pulled me out of the story on a few occasions.

Overall, though, I think the show is doing something unique, and I’m interested to see where it goes from here. It has also made me want to revisit the original Spider-Noir comics by David Hine, Fabrice Sapolsky, Roger Stern, Carmine Di Giandomenico, Richard Isanove, Bob McLeod, and Paco Diaz. If anything, I’d still love to see a future adaptation that more directly captures the feel of those original stories and their younger Peter Parker.

I know a number of people responded to my earlier post saying they loved the show and especially Nicolas Cage’s performance, so I may very well be in the minority here. I'm only two episodes in, and it's entirely possible the character grows on me as the season progresses.

For those of you who have watched it, what are your thoughts so far? Am I being too hard on Cage's take on Spider-Noir, or did anyone else have a similar reaction?

This week’s Shabbat reading is *Saga of the Swamp Thing Vol. 2* by Alan Moore, Stephen Bissette, and John Totleben.

I really enjoyed the first volume. Moore does an incredible job weaving together horror, mythology, and superhero lore while completely redefining who Swamp Thing is. The revelation that Alec Holland is truly dead, and that Swamp Thing is instead a plant elemental carrying Holland’s memories and sense of self, remains one of the most fascinating character twists I’ve ever read.

I also loved how naturally the series connects to the wider DC Universe through characters like Etrigan and John Constantine. What surprised me most was how much it changed the way I view *The Sandman*. I had always thought of Sandman as something adjacent to the DC Universe, connected but operating in its own corner. Reading Swamp Thing makes it feel far more integrated than I ever realized.

Looking forward to diving deeper into the lore and eventually seeing more of Matthew Cable’s journey and his later connection to Morpheus.

The new trailer for Season 2 of X-Men '97 looks fantastic. It honestly feels like forever since we last saw the team back in May 2024, and this trailer looks like the series is going even bigger this season.

The fact that they’re diving into both the Age of Apocalypse and The Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix has me incredibly excited to see where they take things. As a Cyclops fan, I’m especially looking forward to Scott and Jean’s storyline, and I’m loving what appears to be Rogue in Egypt along with possible callbacks to the Savage Land material. The Wolverine finger-wag cover homage was also a great touch.

It’ll also be fascinating to see how the season evolves now that this is the first full season without former showrunner Beau DeMayo, who was fired shortly before Season 1 aired and hasn’t exactly been quiet about Marvel since. At the same time, with Matthew Chauncey stepping in and much of the original writing and directing team still involved, I’m optimistic this can still be another amazing season and maybe even top the first.

July 1 can’t get here fast enough.

I’ll admit my growing love of Daredevil has evolved a lot over the last twenty years.

I always loved the character on a surface level. The powers, the costume, the idea of Matt Murdock balancing life as both lawyer and vigilante. But for a long time, as a huge Spider-Man fan, I mostly viewed Daredevil through that lens and their relationship.

Over the years though, I started separating Matt from Spider-Man and appreciating just how complicated and morally layered he really is.

Matt isn’t just fighting criminals in the streets. He’s defending innocent people trapped in a broken system, sometimes even other heroes, and at times defending in court the very criminals he brutalizes at night as Daredevil. Add in the weight of his Catholic faith and his constant struggle over violence, guilt, justice, and sin, and suddenly you have one of the most compellingly flawed heroes in comics.

He wants to do good. He believes what he’s doing is necessary. But he’s haunted by the cost of it. That “Devil Inside” aspect is what makes the character so fascinating to me.

So here’s the question:

Across Daredevil’s 62-year history, who do you think truly captured the essence of Matt Murdock through the combination of writing and art?

We all know the legendary runs from Bendis/Maleev, Zdarsky/Checchetto, Waid/Samnee and the foundations laid by Bill Everett, Jack Kirby and Stan Lee, but who is the definitive GOAT creative team for Daredevil?,

Let’s discuss.
