scans_dailyA random Instagram post filled me in on something I'd never heard of before.
Did YOU know that in the late 1980's, JM Strazynski (He of Babylon 5 and many other series) put together a proposal for a Batman cartoon with Jason Todd as Robin? Because I didn't... (Of course, If you HAVE all have heard of this then sorry for wasting time)

Potato Green Chile Tacos

Potato Green Chile Tacos
Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 1 hour Servings: 4
Ingredients
6 medium size red potatoes washed and diced into ½-inch pieces, about 6 cups worth
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon granulated garlic or garlic powder
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon chili powder optional
½ teaspoon cumin powder
8 6-inch flour tortillas
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican shredded cheese blend
1 cup roasted and chopped green chile
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped
Sour cream OPTIONAL
Salsa OPTIONAL
Instructions
Potato Roasting Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Place the sliced potatoes on a large rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with oil. Sprinkle generously with all of the spices. Toss with your hands to thoroughly coat.
Roast for 20 minutes, until tender and lightly browned on the edges. Remove from the oven and stir or flip the potatoes over with a thin spatula. Roast an additional 10-20 minutes until deep golden brown.
Taco Instructions
When the potatoes are almost done roasting, warm the tortillas either in the oven or microwave. If you have a gas stove, the stovetop flame can be used to lightly char each tortilla. Place the warmed tortillas in a clean tea towel until ready to use.
In a large non-stick skillet, over medium heat, combine the potatoes, green chile, and cheese. Lightly stir to melt the cheese – as the melted cheese will assist in holding the tacos together.
Divide the potato mixture between the warm tortillas. Sprinkle each taco with cilantro and serve warm with sour cream and/or salsa if desired.

Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday
Jun. 9th, 2026 09:07 amicon_uk posting in scans_dailyIn the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.
Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.
The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.
Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.
It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.
The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.
Given that they've built a giant lightning conductor in the shape of a cage match ring on the lawn of the White hosue, and there may be thunderstorms in the next few days, Mother Nature has the chance to do the FUNNIEST thing this week!
The World Cup kicks off this week, and we wish the many, MANY teams well. I suspect they'll need it given we've already had a well-respected Somali referee refused entry to the US because of Trump's immigration policies.
We lost Anthony Head at the age of 72. Best known as the surrogate father figure of a generation in Buffy, and the definitely NOT the desired father figure of Uther in BBC's Merlin amongst many other stage and screen roles. The outpouring of love for him from basically everyone he ever worked with has been profound, all speaking of his kindness, humour and unflagging support for young and new actors and crew. Too short a life, but one well lived.
I appreciate I've still to make the Pride post I mentioned last week, for which my apologies, it will be coming shortly.

Lightning Round: HERO SQUARED, BOOSTER GOLD, LARFLEEZE

106 of 108. Giffen and DeMatteis’ collaborations continued on a few JLI-adjacent properties and a few works that had nothing to do with the JLI. They could dip into nostalgia now and then, but their real skill was trying new stuff or putting new spins on things. ( So it’s amazing they even HAD such long careers in comics, considering. )

The last issue of Murewa Ayodele Storm came out this week, having lasted a respectable twenty issues. It dies as it lived - utterly insane.

She-Ra is Bloodthirsty and Judge-y
Jun. 6th, 2026 11:23 pmshakalooloo posting in scans_daily
With the MotU movie out (I'm gonna see it this Sunday!) I looked back through Dark Horse's mahoosive compilation of the classic mini-comics that came packed with the action figures. Some were familiar and nostalgic, others weird and enlightening, some cheap and crappy and worst of all, some were New Adventures of He-Man.
Something with which I had no familiarity - even though one of sisters totally had She-Ra toys - was the Princess of Power line. And boy, that Adora is both quick to throw out death threats and a believer that pretty=good...
Apologies for the poor scan quality - a 1200+ page hardcover is a pain to scan.

Absolute Guy Gardner is Disgusting in a Different Way
Jun. 6th, 2026 10:02 pmshakalooloo posting in scans_daily
A beard in place of a bowl-cut, Absolute Guy Gardner is just learning how to utilise his powers as he fights the Blackstars. I find it a weird trend that this is the second Absolute title to show such a weapon...

Brazilian Cheese Bread
Jun. 6th, 2026 06:32 amnverland posting in recipecommunity
Brazilian Cheese Bread
Servings: 15 small rolls Prep 15 minutes Cook 20 minutes Ready in: 35 minutes
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups (180g) tapioca flour (also known as tapioca starch)
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup (155ml) whole milk
1/4 cup (60ml) avocado oil or olive oil
1 large egg
1/2 cup finely shredded (56g) medium or sharp cheddar (white or yellow)
1/3 cup finely shredded (28g) Grana Padano or parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line an 18 by 13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large heatproof mixing bowl whisk together tapioca starch and salt, set aside.
In a saucepan bring milk and oil to a simmer. Pour hot mixture into tapioca flour mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until well combined (it will be a bit lumpy). Let cool 5 minutes.
Mix in egg (using the wooden spoon or an electric mixer), then fold in cheddar and Grana Padano. Note that dough will be tacky but it should hold a form (see note for a runny dough or a thick dough).
Scoop dough out using a 1 1/2 Tbsp cookie scoop (or two spoons and nearly a golf ball size, and drop on baking sheet spacing 1 1/2-inches apart.
Bake in preheated oven until exterior is golden brown and crisp (centers will be stretchy chewy cheesy still), about 15 to 18 minutes.
Notes
Tapioca starch can vary a bit in absorption by brand and batch. If you find your dough is overly runny you can add a little more tapioca starch, refrigerate the dough for 20 minutes, or bake the runny dough in a greased muffin pan among 12-wells. If you find dough is overly thick simply stir in an additional 1 Tbsp milk.
Remember the Good Old Days (Inaccurately)?: THE '90S: JLA RETROACTIVE #1

105 of 108. Giffen, DeMatteis, and Maguire reunited for the last time in 2013. The DC Retroactive comics offered a chance for such old comics teams to…like the crew in a heist movie…come out of inactivity to pull one last job. ( Except for the part where that one job paid enough for them to retire. )

Salt to taste
