As an example of the last subcompact model sold in the U.S. to have actually been built in the U.S., today’s Nice Price or No Dice Sonic is a small car that’s kind of a big deal. Let’s see if this hot hatch is priced to hatch a quick sale.

I recently discovered that the shelving in my garage is something of a time capsule. That’s where I came across a small shrink-wrapped ream of paper that came with the Apple Stylewriter printer I bought back in 1996. The paper looked fine no Dead Sea Scroll action going on here so I opened it up and popped it into my current laser printer.

With its movies and TV shows moving to HBO Max, DC Comics is taking its remaining assets (the comics, guys, it’s the comics) over to a brand-new platform. DC Universe Infinite launches this Thursday, January 21, and boasts over 25,000 comic books and graphic novels including several frequently-requested titles that weren’t available on the previous app, like Grant Morrison’s
Batman: Arkham Asylum and Brian Azzarello’s
Joker. Described as a “premium digital comic book service and community,” DC Universe Infinite will offer a library of the largest collection of DC Comics anywhere, with plans to “continuously add selections from DC’s iconic labels, Vertigo, DC Black Label and Milestone Media.” New comic books will be available on the platform six months after release. The platform is available directly online, as well as on iOS and Android devices. Subscriptions cost $7.99 a month or $74.99 per year, billed annually.

The Toxic Avenger
In conversation with Dread Central, original director Lloyd Kaufman praised Macon Blair’s script for the upcoming
Toxic Avenger remake as “better than the original.”
Macon Blair knows Troma better than I do. He’s seen everything. He’s seen the cartoon, he’s seen the Halloween special, he’s seen everything. And he loves our movies like
Troma’s War and
Terror Firmer. I’ve read the script and it’s better than the original and I leave it to him. If I’m called upon, I’d be happy to jump in. I learned on the musical to leave the creative to the creative. I learned to let them ask so if they want me, I’m there. If they let Macon Blair direct it, I think it will be terrific. He knows the Troma sense of humor, the combination of slapstick and satire with the environmental theme.
