Has anyone else ever read Zero Patrol from Continuity Comics? There was a back up story by Neal Adams? That has one of the best approaches to prison reform that I’ve ever seen anywhere. I read it when I was eight and never forgot it.

So Jimi Hendrix: Purple Haze is now Eisner nominated. Our colorist the gawd Justin Procowich has been nominated for his phenomenal work on the book.

Thank you. This journey has been unreal and it just gets better.

I met Tony Gilroy, gifted him a copy of Jimi Hendrix: Purple Haze, got to tell him how much it meant for him to consider the viewpoints of POC in rebellions and resistance on Andor, and invited him on @forallnerds.com show.

Woke up this morning and felt like watching Athena again. If you’ve never seen this film, I highly encourage you to do so. One of the most beautiful and inspiring films about revolution. Near perfect, it’s on Netflix now.

Anyone involved with the production of Sinners, we would love to speak with you on @forallnerds.com

When James Gunn references this moment in the new Superman movie? Cinema.

Did a remix of Solange’s Don’t Wait. This is not the remix that I did yesterday, so if anyone knows @solangeknowles pass it along.

This year, I released my first ever graphic novel. Thank you to everyone who has supported it in some way shape or form. It has meant everything to me. Thank you.

Occasionally updating this thread. Another one of my biggest inspirations comes from a film I just saw less than two years ago.
Blue Giant is everything I love about music, passion, creativity, and life wrapped up in one beautiful anime. Life changing. I might watch it again today.

I keep falling off this thread but since I just watched it the other day… I saw Die Hard in theaters, I’m not even sure if I had seen the trailer. I just knew it was an action movie with the guy from Moonlighting. My mother took me because she loved Bruce Willis.

I’m dropping a pack of TEN edits on Monday, all kinds of fire remixes and edits of new joints and some classics!! You can get the whole pack at BIGDJENERGY.COM

I love the contrast between the Man Of Steel trailer and the new James Gunn Superman trailer. Both feature him alone in the snow, one features him attempting to fly, the other him crashing back to earth. Instantly we know this is a more humanized version instead of the Godlike Snyder version.

Didn’t realize I fell off this five days ago yikes. Lemme get back to it, with another one of my favorite role playing games. I loved the whole Palladium system, with TMNT and Robotech being my introduction, but RIFTS is so weird, introduced me to the idea of Ley Lines and so much more.

I’m in love with a controller (she popping she popping she rolling)…

Probably should have started this thread with this one. My sister said I was a quiet child who came out of this film a talkative toddler. All of my early childhood memories revolve around it. I was a member of Bantha Tracks (iykyk).
My first graphic novel was an attempt to imitate the structure.

A formative experience for me was the first time I saw Robotech. Besides Voltron, I hadn’t seen much Japanese animation, if any, and what an introduction The Macross Saga was.

Roy Fokker and Claudia Grant. I could go on and on, but an interracial relationship? That ends in tragedy? Still hurts.

Last weekend I was down in Houston, and I had to celebrate by doing a signing at my new favorite comic store in the H, Gulf Coast Cosmos! Thank you to everyone who came out, and if you missed it then hit them up and get a signed copy of both of my books now!

I’ll never forget being in class, reading the section on the bombs dropping on people while they watched television, and something in my brain snapping. Like I knew I would never be able to look at the world the same way. One of the most terrifying books I’ve ever read.
