I’ve been so incredibly lucky to have served as President of the Grad Student Caucus of the Comics Studies Society; a community that I love so much. CSS has been a very special place for me and now that my time in leadership is over, I have some parting words:

Friends from Xavier’s Institute for Gifted Youngsters, I have a question! Has anyone been listening to the X-Men Audio Drama? Is it worth the time commitment? There’s 3 seasons, already…

I’m interested to see what Big Brother does with the “BB Comicsverse” this year… they seem to be committing to it as a core part of their multiverse approach.

It’ll be fascinating to see how a popular audience, fed a steady diet of the MCU, understands comics and comics culture.

My son just told me Spider-Man was cooler than Batman… Clearly, I’m failing as a father 😔

Has anyone else recently seen an uptick in the number of farrier videos online? No joke, I’m starting to become obsessed with horse and cow manicure videos because they’re everywhere…

given today's Hellfire Gala discourse, let me just note that I maintain a reading order for the past 4 years' worth of X-Men comics, marked up so you can read/skip what you like while avoiding spoilers https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OpoRLdoCupl-8s2G88hI0u5sq1Cmt-libZSPm-COaX0/edit?usp=sharing

High praise, @ign.bsky.social! “So dumb, as only clever people could achieve” is an impressive artistic achievement for a video game property that centres on creepy people blowing up cars… 🔀🤘🏻

Check out this great feature about the brilliant Qiana Whitted and her new edited collection, “Desegregating Comics”!

From this day, until forever more, I will refer to the start of the universe as, AND ONLY AS, the Horrendous Space Kablooie (HSK).

Comics for the win!

I havent 100%’d a game in YEARS (I blame my children), but I am doing the work, putting in the grind, and getting it done with FF16. First play through is done and only five trophies left to unlock. New Game+ journey begins tomorrow!

I just loved everything about this game!
