Reading all the comics and figuring out how to best collect them so you don't have to. Fan of everything except that one thing you like. Everything else is cool.

Did you know: The animated "Age of Apocalypse" two parter that aired after the comic book event actually inspired the comic book event?
I break down the mechanics of how that's possible for @comicsxf.com (sadly it doesn't involve any actual time travel) #XMen #XMen97

My even more unpopular opinion is unless you have personally experienced the thing, you should probably refrain from having an opinion on it.
We need to return to shaming people for parroting YouTube/TikTok with stuff like "When I want your opinion, I'll just find the YouTuber who gave it to you."

Whenever I say this, people get Really Mad, but it's true. Same of any other art, too. You have to read the book, watch the film, see the painting, listen to the song, whatever.
I'm sorry, but watching a video about it on YouTube is not enough. You have not experience the art.

"you have not played the game unless you've played the game" is one of my more annoying but unshakable opinions
the whole "don't play the game, just watch a video on youtube that will explain its story to you" is so disheartening because the issue of accessibility is genuinely really important but it's always just people who want to be spoon-fed nicely quantifiable information

I've been out of commission for videos all this month, and that will likely continue another few weeks.
This is made doubly annoying because I have *such* a huge haul stack right now!
(And I even got a new laptop, for those of you following the lure lore!)
BUT: CK has new guides for Patrons 👀

Launched two new guides that are potentially only interesting to an audience of me, but happy to be back to work in the comic mines.
(Not coincidentally, I'm unable to stream at the moment.)
Hoping to knock out some smaller and more esoteric titles/characters before tackling bigger guides in 2026.

Finally got to Patrick Horvath’s Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees, which was as good as everyone says. Cute animal art filter over territorial serial killer story. Turns out shitting is the least concerning thing bears do in the woods.

Fourteen hours into my first new reading order for Patrons since earlier this year.
The finish line is almost in sight, but... whew. I picked a hell of a guide to finish for Halloween. It might be the death of me.

Always annoyed when I'm working on a new comic guide and take a peek at other reading orders to discover they are all FLAT OUT WRONG and only based on release dates or on incorrect readings of solicit text.

Bandwagoning this to comment on how Rhodey and John Stewart became G.I. Joes during Bush's two wars and it's a devolution of their 'Nam-vet origins and how past comic writers understood Black veteran experiences.
The Blaxploitation characters deserve to grow and be fleshed out. They deserve more than to be set dressing for Frank, Matt, Peter and Jess (or Bruce and Clark across the way).

A few of the new X-Men book announcements feel like a parody about what they could do to keep people away from reading more X-Men comics.
Never fun to see my favorite line in comics struggling though a creative and editorial disaster for multiple years.
