Odds and Ends

Yeah, I started to read The Beauty when it first came out but dropped it… but this trailer gives me no incentive to want to watch it.

Where’s the cyclops?

its shown briefly, far away in shadows of cave scene

Ah, ok. If I recall, he traps them in the cave and occasionally eats a few men here and there over time.

It’s been a while…like high school…but I vividly remember that part of the book…

Working off memory also but I believe Odysseus tricks Polyphemos & says his name is “Nobody” & when Polyphemos complains to the Gods/other Cyclops about the situation they laugh at him because he keeps saying “Nobody” did it.

The Odyssey is such a fantastic story…if they even capture just a bit it should still be incredible.

I especially want to see Scylla & Charbydis on the big screen…also loved that part.

Cracks me up how people are so bent out of shape over the armor/costumes…this isn’t a documentary.

Will the last issue be sought after?

I’m not really a Star Wars guy, just thinking about whether it might be under ordered if many don’t realize it’s last issue. Could also be nothing burger lol.

What magazines are the last issue sought after? Not sure magazines have the same last issue/low print run as comics.

Also, it wouldn’t surprise me if it gets picked up by another publisher. Maybe it starts with a new issue #1 at that time…

And is the last issue 237 or 236? The article calls out 237 initially , then it’s all about 236 after that.

I always thought of Star Wars people being a different breed. Lol

Ya, it’s confusing if it’s 236 or 237. Other articles state 237 besides BC.

Yeah it’s 237. Probably put up 236 because no cover info for 237, maybe. Not sure who would risk picking it up for a print version, but I guess that is a possibility.

I know early issues of magazines go for good money but never looked into last issues. I guess except creepy and eerie. Look for first print first issues of High Times and Playboy. Both go for crazy money.

I am a grumpy elf (possibly a South Pole elf). Spent all day building ebikes in my shed. I have a nice big shed with lots of work area. Problem is people filled it with their junk and just threw it every where. I cleaned that shed twice this past summer.

The page you linked to actually states this on the page:

The magazine, most recently produced by Titan Publishing Group, will cap its run with 237 issues in print.

Sounds like my garage when the ex lived here… I clean garage, make it all nice and within a month it’s filled with junk and no one ever puts my tools back where they got them. That’s what really drives me nuts. I should not have to spend 30 minutes locating the tool I need when it should be in it’s proper location when you’re done using it. Arrghhhh… !!! :wink:

That’s why I linked that page. BC was a little confusing by showing the covers of 236 and saying the last issue will be in February, and 236 is supposed to come out on February 25th 2026. Doesn’t really leave much room for 237 to also come out in Feb. Last issue is supposed to come “early next year”.
