Image Comics has been practicing the art of teasers lately, and yesterday they released a pretty sweet teaser that hints at Grant Morrison’s return to the comics world. Morrison has been basking in his comic book glory since returning to writing after wrapping up his Green Lantern serial in 2021. After all, as the now 64-year-old MBE told me in 2016, “I don’t have anything left.

NASA confirmed on Friday that it’s developing a new lunar time system for the moon. The White House released a policy memo in April directing NASA to create a new standard by 2026. More than five months later (government time, you see), NASA confirmed that it will work with “U.S. government stakeholders, partners, and international standards organizations” to establish Coordinated Lunar Time (LTC).We only need to look to Einstein to understand why the Moon needs its own time zone.
