Doctor Doom comes calling for the Sorcerer Supreme mantle--

[26 February 02022]

Today marks 22 Years of Neilalien comic book/Doctor Strange/Steve Ditko/nerd weblog goodies at this URL! Excelsior!

22 is a palindromic number--

Some small pleasing creative geek distraction from our virus-torn war-torn world--

The pandemic has taken its mental-health and other tolls, even on Neilalien's extraterrestrial physiology--

Perhaps the Neilalien signal will change, be reduced further (can't be much less!), or even end completely after Multiverse of Madness in May--

Or end after they bring Doc back from the dead-- Can't end while Doc is dead in the comics, right?-- Have to see how they bring him back-- Or is that the reason to end the weblog?-- The same old tired tropes--

Or maybe he will spend the next 22 years catching up on all the Doctor Strange appearances he missed, and back-populating all the "updatings" and placeholders, and finishing the Doc Info Pages at his whim--
