I've deleted two Bluesky dunks today. I need to eat some lunch, listen to the rain, and get less punchy.

I used to describe my editorial style, especially when working with newer creators, like I was a JV coach. I wanted you to go out there, have fun, play well, and get better at the game. Maybe you'd do so good at this game you'd move up to varsity (bigger projects), or maybe you wouldn't! BUT! Cont'd

I made a choice to work for myself because it was the right thing to do for my spirit and for my dreams. I knew that wouldn’t come without challenges, times where I had to be resilient. But there’s challenges that require our elected leaders to fight in our stead. Tonight they surrendered, cowards.

CYCLOPS is a completely self-contained series that requires no homework and no pre-existing knowledge of the character. It's a rollercoaster and a character study, and Roge Antonio is going to be your new favorite Marvel artist when we're done.

I continue to be a massive fan of the JSA title. And JSA #13, the first part of JSA: Year One is excellent for readers new and old alike. @jefflemire171.bsky.social writes these characters wonderfully, paces a team book excellently, and @gavinguidry.bsky.social’s art is a true sight to behold.

I am rooting for “The Pitt” streaming model to succeed so we get more shows that have longer orders, quicker turnarounds between seasons, and eventually someone does that model with a traditional sitcom comedy format too.
