Like all gay men, I stay at home on a Friday night and play with my action figures.

The thing I love about Fraction and Mora’s current BATMAN run, besides the stand-alone nature of each issue, is it shows how Batman can be fun again. So many Batman stories are all about being as grim and grisly as possible. These stories are still thrilling, but brighter. #comicsky

This is my view from the toilet in the mornings, since the #cats have decided I deserve no privacy

I slept on ALL-NEW VENOM, and I shouldn’t have, because it’s a hoot. But now I’m hearing rumors the artist might be a Trump-supporter. If so, I might have to sleep on it again.

Some colleagues pointed out today what a shame it is that more indie comics aren’t included on library awards lists, likely due to the fact they aren’t as widely available.

One of the Comics Library Commons’ goals will be to fix that.

The first Spider-Man comic I ever picked up, I mean EVER, was from a drugstore spinner rack. I picked it up because it had these X-guys I had just seen on a Saturday morning cartoon, but I ended up falling for Spidey too. It was a beginning for me. Sal, a man I've never met, put me on this path.

The latest addition to my Smoky Mountain Troll collection is the Travel Troll, and I took him to our annual gay cabin weekend in Hocking Hills, #ohio

Welcome to the world, Travel Troll.

Had to cut our annual gay cabin weekend short due to the snowstorm, but it was wonderful. So grateful for people like these boys.

It was great to unplug. Just now getting caught up news. Find hope and help from the good people in your life

I am now the founder and soon-to-be Chief Officer of a new company!

Coming soon - the COMICS LIBRARY COMMONS, a new resource for independent comic creators and small presses to market their titles to #libraries and for librarians to diversify the #comics on their shelves!
