Storm, Blue Marvel, Miles Morales Spider-Man, Blade, Luke Cage, Monica Rambeau, and more at a cookout. I needed to see these Black superheroes hanging out, and Sam brought Steve Rogers, lol.

Sam Wilson: Captain America Issue 1 is my favorite comic of the week.

The thing about me is, I'm gonna become obsessed with a new TV show and let it take over my entire personality.

The new paperback edition of The Master of Shearhaven features a new look, revised cover copy, and emphasizes the gothic and queer aspects of the book. I'm really proud of how this turned out. Links to buy here: jonwesleyhuff.com/pages/fiction

I preordered these two variants of The New History of the DC Universe: The Dakota Incident. The 52-inspired cover is so cool.

I need these Milestone characters back!

I'm watching the Smallville finale, and I forgot how well they did Clark and Lois' story. This wedding...I'm bawling.

Absolute Martian Manhunter Issue 8 addresses the paradoxical nature of the U.S. as both heroic and villainous depending on the perspective.

John Jones is struggling with marital issues, but he's got a better grasp on his Martian powers. This comic is existentially personal.

Wonder Man review. It’s one of the best MCU shows. A meta-commentary about acting and superheroes that hits the target with laser precision.

As a Black struggling artist, I relate to Simon Williams' story. His attention to detail was excessive at times, but it came from a place of care and to communicate that which can appear nebulous: emotions. Wonder Man inspired him, and as cheesy as it seemed, the effect was real.

I'm adding more scenes to this script than I expected, but I've outlined it in such a way that it's conducive to the flow of the story rather than disruptive.

I'm an overwriter, and I've learned to scale back so that my word count isn't astronomical, but for this script, I need to put everything out there and then edit it down later.

Justice League Unlimited Issue 15 had so much going on and not enough time to cover all of it. Mr. Terrific's team, the Terrific 10, is canon fodder, and it went how I expected.

Blue Beetle working with Air Wave was cool, and so were the appearances of Cadejos and Atomic Skull.

I watched a video about story structure, and every professional writer had a different approach to it. Everyone has their own approach, and it's best to try different things to find out what works best for you.

I'm not a big Tony Stark fan, but the new Iron Man comic revitalized my interest. His genius is matched by his heart, and now he's overwhelmed by a conspiracy.

A.I.M. has returned, and Madame Masque is a worthy adversary for Tony. A great start for Williamson and Cornero.

I'm sad to hear about Catherine O’Hara. I've been a fan of hers since I was a kid, not so much from Home Alone, but from her Christopher Guest movies. The underrated For Your Consideration stood out to me; a returning star getting the chance to receive the acclaim she deserves. Art reflects life.

Infernal Hulk Issue 3 continues to smash.

We find out what Bruce Banner and Betty have been up to, and it's hard to blame him for choosing a quiet life over the destructiveness that the Hulk brings.

But like every hero, sacrifices have to be made for the greater good.

It's very evident when writers include Black characters, and then underserve their storylines. Keeping them away from the main story indicates that the writer doesn't actually care.

I'm realizing that this script I'm writing should be more conversational. I enjoy dialogue, but I tend to "cut to the chase," so it's not overdone. With minimal setpieces and so much to explore, I can take my time with it and explore the interiority of the characters.

Absolute Wonder Woman Issue 16 was surprisingly explosive.

Diana gets the respect and adoration she so rightfully deserves, but the good times don't last long.

Zatanna poses a real threat to her, and her magical abilities are ferocious. The Amazon's in deep trouble.

Superboy-Prime takes center stage while Superman fights in the DC K.O. Tournament.

He's learning that even though he has comic book knowledge, it's gonna take more than that to be a true hero.

Lois Lane Superwoman is the voice of reason, and next issue, Prime's gonna go off.

I started watching Wonder Man, and I'm impressed. It's tonally refreshing, and based on the setup, it could have poignant points to make about superheroes and acting, as well as artifice and art.
