So I think I've found most everybody from the bad place, but there's also a bunch of new faces I'm excited to get to know!
I'm Dylan, I write / edit / casually rant about comics, books, and anything else with a story.
I'm available for work, so hit me up! Website repairs ongoing, link incoming!

Probably a hot take but I think the Wax & Wayne books are some of Sanderson's best overall.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.
Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.
People have power. Ask Target

I'm biologically incapable of saving money, so I have but one option.
Don’t support big company. Big company don’t like you. Support small artist. Or just save your money.

Artists working in mainstream USA comics: Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, Image, etc. all expect art to these dimensions. I'm seeing more and more disregard for the standard specs, and it affects everyone's deadlines to have production try and wrestle your art into proper proportions.

the last few days has been a reminder that people really want to believe that not only is there this real thing called a “criminal,” and that if they need to, anyone can just prove they aren’t one
do people not realize that the past four decades of US policing legislation PR and practice have made the allegation that someone is a “gang member” entirely subject to the whims of the state

Peter David left an indelible mark on me through his X-Factor runs and one of my favourite books on writing for comics. A legend of the industry and, in many ways, one of its unsung heroes. RIP

Credit where it's due I think they managed to make a futuristic Predator movie I'm actually excited for. Doing something different with a franchise IP will always win me over.
