Did I officially wake-up 26 pounds lighter today as part of my fitness plan? Yes! Did I still stop by the amazing Malley's Chocolates en route to CINEMA WASTELAND to get a giant "pretzelnormous" Pretzel Crunch Bar? Also yes! It's all about balance, friends...

The always amazing COMIC WATCH chatted with me and Chief Creative Officer @joshuafrantic.bsky.social last night about the journey that led us to relaunching SOURCE POINT PRESS. We got very vulnerable, raw, and real about SPP's past and future. I hope you'll take the time to give it a watch.

I read this novel for some sort of school book report in Jr. High, and I can 100% confirm that it is 100% wacky and "so bad it's good" fun...
FYI: The JAWS: THE REVENGE novelization may be sillier on the page, but it also racks up a pretty high body count!

Believe the hype: FANTASTIC FOUR is one of the best Marvel films to date. I'm blown away by how much I enjoyed it. 10/10, no notes, as it's dang near perfect. Go see it in 3-D if you can!

This is a snapshot of what 21 years of selling your work at comic conventions looks like... and also a reminder that you don't need to keep more than a few lanyards in your possession, comic con friends. Seriously... purge them! You'll feel better!
