Today in Comics History, Mardi Gras: That's the Knight That the Lights Went Out in NOLA
Let's celebrate Mardi Gras with the least likely character ever to wind up in New Orleans during this bacchanalian festival: the true man out of time, Captain America The Shining Knight! He's really only there for the Dixieland jazz.

What's Bully (Re*)Reading? 2024 #16: Batman, Incorporated, Volume 1: Demon Star by Grant Morrison and Chris Burnham
One of the best and most fun comics of the New 52, and really the only Leviathan storyline you ever needed.
I'm also snacking on pigs in a blanket. I declare this day a success!
*I have read these stories previously in floppy comic format.
