But before we get to the headlines, here’s what we’ve been up to on this site for the past couple of weeks. [One Last Dose of Joe Matt’s Self-Deprecating Humor in Peepshow #15Joe Matt is the target of the ridicule and jokes but he’s also the one telling the jokes.![](https://www.fromcovertocover.com/favicon.ico)From Cover to CoverScott Cederlund![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cb/fc/cbfcdc7f-aad3-4f92-876f-5cbf3043df76/content/images/size/w1200/2024/07/IMG_0463.jpeg)](https://www.fromcovertocover.com/one-last-dose-of-joe-matts-self-deprecating-humor-in-peepshow-15/) [Atsushi Kaneko Uses Action To Reveal Character in Search and Destroy Vol. 1Search and Destroy is a revenge thriller you feel in your bones.![](https://www.fromcovertocover.com/favicon.ico)From Cover to CoverScott Cederlund![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cb/fc/cbfcdc7f-aad3-4f92-876f-5cbf3043df76/content/images/size/w1200/2024/08/IMG_0476.jpeg)](https://www.fromcovertocover.com/atsushi-kaneko-uses-action-to-reveal-character-in-search-and-destroy-vol-1/) ## Headlines [Exclusive: Two more women accuse Neil Gaiman of sexual assault and abuse - TortoiseFirst on-the-record allegations against the author allege abuse going back to 1986 and reveal another non-disclosure agreement, this one with a $275,000 settlement.![](https://www.tortoisemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2019/01/favicon-64x64.png)TortoisePaul Caruana Galizia![](https://www.tortoisemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/07/CR-GettyImages-458389074-1.jpg)](https://www.tortoisemedia.com/2024/08/01/exclusive-two-more-women-accuse-neil-gaiman-of-sexual-assault-and-abuse/?ref=fromcovertocover.com) There’s a pattern of abuse here in these narratives, of a powerful man abusing that power to have his way with women. And now it goes back to the 80s and establishes that this is who Gaiman has always been. I would still love to see reports that corroborate these reports just because Tortiose is a bit suspect. But it’s also telling that no one has some forward to support Gaiman either. I wonder when Disney, Netflix, or Amazon are going to be forced to either make a statement in support of Gaiman or disaffiliate themselves with him. [Wolverine Co-Creator Roy Thomas on His ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Credit: “My Name Should Have Come First”The former Marvel editor-in-chief shares his thoughts after seeing the movie — and responds following a controversy surrounding him getting co-creator credit on the popular character.![](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/wp-content/themes/vip/pmc-hollywoodreporter-2021/assets/app/icons/favicon.png)The Hollywood ReporterRoy Thomas![](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/TDW-11260_R-copy.jpg?w=1296&h=730&crop=1)](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/wolverine-co-creator-roy-thomas-deadpool-and-wolverine-1235962212/?ref=fromcovertocover.com) How long until Roy Thomas thinks he should have the sole credit for Wolverine? And what a smug, self-congratulatory piece of self-promotion this is. [Colin Kaepernick lost control of his story. Now he wants to help creators own theirs | TechCrunchThousands of stories have been written about former NFL quarterback and civil rights activist Colin Kaepernick. If anyone knows a thing or two about![](https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/cropped-cropped-favicon-gradient.png?w=192)TechCrunchMaxwell Zeff![](https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/ColinKaep.jpg?resize=1200,830)](https://techcrunch.com/2024/07/24/colin-kaepernick-launches-ai-startup-help-creators-storytelling/?ref=fromcovertocover.com) So the latest is that Colin Kaepernick is now a tech-bro, singing the praises of AI to create stories? It’s just a whole, weird turn to take by completely glossing over revealing what sources were used to train their AI to be storyteller. Below is Khary Randolph’s response to Kaepernick’s AI endeavors.

His art reminds me of Tradd Moore’s recent stuff in how it just brings in such a unique design sense to create captivating images like this one. > Turkish Olympic shooting star Yusuf Dikeç has gone viral on Japanese social media, inspiring a spate of fan art like the one below showing him both with his gun ("on" mode) and with his cat ("off" mode).
