It's been just over a year since leaving Dark Horse and I've grown a lot as a freelance editor. I'm really eager to get back to editing more comics and graphic novels this year, especially for authors in the indie space.

Today I was laid off from Dark Horse Comics. While devastating news, I'm so proud of what I helped make there and am grateful to have worked alongside such amazing coworkers and creators.
I'm not quitting comics yet, so if you or someone you know needs a savvy editor please reach out.

I'm sorry, WTF do you mean that Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York" was released in the 1980s?!

how does the justice system even work anymore? Can I still get sentenced to coach an upstart team of underdog peewee hockey players if I get a DUI?

Late result for anyone still awake: Na’Cole Thompson, the Democratic candidate in the mayoral race today in Leander, Texas, has won the election.
She got 57% and won’t need a runoff, with two Republicans adding up to 43%.

This sounds a lot like The Invisibles (1994–2000), specifically King Mob in his Gideon Stargrave persona.
this isn't an original thought and I wish I remembered who came up with it, but my favorite thematic reading of James Bond is that he is an agent of objective reality who fights back against warlord and oligarchs who seek to impose their twisted visions upon truth and reality
