Service announcement
Posted on Wednesday, June 28, 2023 by Paul in Uncategorized
No annotations this week and next, because I’m on holiday. I’ll do a weekly review round up at some point over the next couple of days, though, and the next Incomplete Wolverine will be up on Sunday, covering 2014. There should also be a new House to Astonish episode coming up shortly.
Normal service will be resumed in two weeks time.
No worries–we’ll just dump all our discussion on the revelation of the fifth Sinister clone, The Sinister Who Laughs, in this thread. Have fun wading through our 800+ comments by the time you get back from holiday. Enjoy your time off!
Wait, who’s going to watch us while you’re gone?
Have fun on holiday!
I like the idea of using this post for an epic discussion thread on the umpteenth Sinister clone 🙂
This seems like a good moment to join the many readers who have already expressed their gratitude for the truly stunning effort, thought, knowledge, and craft you put into your work on the site, Paul.
From the meticulous annotations and timelines to the cogent, witty, and insightful reviews, House to Astonish is just one of the best places to be a fan of superhero comics, period.
Wishing you and yours a joyful and restful holiday!
Ok, I hope he enjoys his vacation, but I will never express any gratitude towards, nor lavish any praise upon Paul because I’m assuming that hearing/reading such things only makes him uncomfortable.
Paul, your work doesn’t suck. Enjoy your time off.
I really love this website, and all iterations of X-Axis. I don’t even know people who read the X-Men on a weekly basis, so dropping by House to Astonish is a sweet part of my Wednesday rituals. Even if as a way to vent and ramble on what I dislike about the comics, or nod along to someone who responds in a muck kinder and generous way to all that noise.
Now, about Sinisterine, Mx Sinster, and the bounty of Signori Essex…
You fools.
The Fifth Sinister knows everything. Every timeline, everyone plot thread, how they all tie together. Everyone’s motivations. Every timeline. Every variant. The one above all.
Paul is the Fifth Sinister.
P.S. Since it’s a fairly open comment thread, just wanted to thank Salomé H. for thoughtful comments on these threads.
Aw Allan, thank you! That’s very sweet. I often feel I’m ranting against the wind, so I really appreciate the sentiment.
Here’s to ranting, the Paul below, and all 74 Sinisters.
What earth shattering news will happen while Paul is on vacation this time?
and in a world where Paul takes off a couple of weeks for vacations, we have to ask “wait, have we ever seen Paul and Superman in the same place and the same time?”
