scans_dailyJUSTICE LEAGUE #1, with plot and layouts by Keith Giffen, dialogue by J.M. DeMatteis, and finished art by Kevin Maguire, establishing a division of labor that would become a JLI trademark.
The cover is rightly considered a classic. Its layout is counterintuitive--usually a bird's-eye view diminishes figures, but this image is about building the figures up. It was a signal this League would do things differently, and what sells it is the tension between that usual rule and a group of figures who look like they can handle anything, including whoever or whatever is daring to view them from above.
( Could it be...the reader of this comic looking down on it on the shelf? 'Yeah, you BETTER buy it, geek! Or we'll MESS YOU UP.' )

SGA: Clean Plate Club by yin_again
Sep. 5th, 2025 12:52 pmmific in fancakeFandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: John Sheppard/Rodney McKay, Evan Lorne, Simpson, Radek Zelenka, Laura Cadman, Sam Carter, Daniel Jackson/Jack O'Neill, Stackhouse/ Markham
Rating: Explicit
Length: 7963
Content Notes: no AO3-type warnings apply
Creator Links: yin's old site on Wayback, yin_again on AO3, yin on LJ
Themes: Food and cooking, First time, Complete AU
Summary: Rodney looked at the prep area and nodded decisively. "How do you feel about waffles?"
"I love waffles," John said with a grin.
Reccer's Notes: This is the initial and main story in yin's Clean Plate Club 'verse, in which John's a sought-after photographer and Rodney's a chef turned food stylist (he prepares and arranges food for perfect photo shoots). It's a fun meet-cute with clever dialogue, great characterisation and a very hot first time. It's enormous fun, even if the "hero food" meticulously arranged by Rodney is actually dressed with glycerine and motor oil!
Fanwork Links: Clean Plate Club on Wayback (scroll down a little and you'll see this fic and the others in the 'verse.)
And yin also recorded it as a podfic, here.

Are the straights okay? Hal Jordan is, to my knowledge, straight, and he is not okay. Jo Mullein isn't straight but isn't doing that well either, frankly. It's the Absolute Universe, folks! Nobody is okay. -- Al Ewing

ONE DIRECTION: LEAVE IT TO THE BREEZE
Sep. 4th, 2025 11:28 amdenynothing1 in fancakeFandom: One Direction
Pairings/Characters: Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan/Zayne Malik
Rating: Explicit
Length: 81,459 words / 9.5hr podfic
Creator Links: hattalove on AO3, frecklebomb on AO3
Theme: Food & Cooking
Summary: Louis couldn’t be prouder of his bake, but there’s something—there’s something. Something about Harry Styles and the earnest way he measures, pours, mixes, scrapes. Something about the tip of his tongue poking out of his mouth as he knocks the air out of his batter.
Or, a Great British Bake Off AU in which Louis cares about winning and winning only, Harry is made of sunshine and rainbow sprinkles, and Niall sticks his nose into other people's business. Also featuring Liam as Louis's best friend-slash-concerned mother, and Zayn as a macaron connoisseur.
Reccer's Notes: I love GBBO AUs to pieces and this is one of the very best I've found. This story features characters in their early 20s who love baking for a variety of reasons. They are mostly charming but can be very stressed and vulnerable. They find joy in being good at what they can do with batter and dough, but can also be tough on themselves as well as others. IOW you've seen these characters on the show itself at times. : )
There's an enemies-to-lovers progression happening for one half of the main pairing that is exasperating and very human until it reaches the point where it's also very hot and very fun. The writer deserves a cake stand and a big bouquet for managing to weave all these elements together into a very satisfying story.
There's a marvelous podfic version of the story by frecklebomb as well. It's one of my favorite listens.

All-New Venom #8-10
Sep. 4th, 2025 01:04 amlaughing_tree in scans_daily
This is another issue of All-New Venom that got leaked ahead of time, because there's a big character beat in here for MJ which has been, ahem, long-awaited in some circles. Looking at the reaction, I'm halfway between utterly fascinated and totally bemused. I'm sure I'll talk more about this once the dust settles. Are the straights okay? I think we leave them in a healthy place? Well, maybe not Doctor Octopus. Are the readers okay? I honestly have NO IDEA. -- Al Ewing
