Tiffany is the best, and I'll be doing write ups about comics for The Comics Staple! I can't wait because this is a very cool project she's putting together.
(I should note, this won't impact SKTCHD/Off Panel in the slightest. I am very fast at writing!)

I'm having such a good time with these chats for The Moment, my new video series on SKTCHD and the SKTCHD YouTube, and this one with @jason-aaron.bsky.social is a hoot, as we dig deep into four of his biggest projects AND talk Eye-Boy + Broo. Very important.
In the latest episode of The Moment, writer @jason-aaron.bsky.social joins to share the moment he knew four of his biggest projects in Scalped, Wolverine and the X-Men, his Thor run, and Bug Wars were going to work, as well as some fun details about how they came together.

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.
A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.
