Sometimes a comic book relaunch describes a world with the bad guys in charge, using language and imagery that almost identically describes the actual state of the world.

It occurs to me that Elric of Melniboné was killing people with a sword and receiving the Quickening long before Connor or Duncan ever put on a kilt.

Interview with the Vampire and The Sandman. Two story properties that I am ONLY into cuz my brother Jim (died 2016) was into them. So they occupy very neighborly spaces in my head.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds might be my new all-time favorite iteration of the franchise. New season starts tomorrow, so we are finishing S2 today. And there is just so much good that they’ve done with these characters, some I’ve known my whole life but who have now grown in such unexpected ways.

If the idea of the Superman movie being political bothers you,
If you’ve ever uttered the word “woke” or “DEI” with the slightest hint of derision,
If you voted for FOTUS,
Then guess what.

The “feels like” factor is strong with the Superman film. It feels like Superman and it feels like a Superman story.

From The Flash 218. Certain people have always hated immigrants and always will. And the very idea that the Superman film might call out that attitude in a bad way infuriates some people cuz they hate seeing that mirror on their bigotry.

Was interviewed by @popversesays.bsky.social today about the #SupermanReadthrough, which was very cool. The project has been a part of my life for over a decade and a half, and it was very fun to take a trip down memory lane about the highs and lows of the experience. So that's coming soon.

For some, “would you love me if I were a worm?” is not a game. It’s a reality. Be careful around Lords of Chaos during this holiday season.

The new #Superman trailer dropped last week & there is a little known federal law that states if you are Superman content creator you have to release an episode where you talk about it. I even got @jonreadscomics.bsky.social to join me. Enjoy!

Imagine a world where Green Lantern would get cancelled.
I’ve been doing a readthrough of Green Lantern, Flash, and a couple other DC titles. I’ve known this was coming but didn’t look up the issue number. So iss 89 caught by some surprise. Guess we’ll see how GL reads as a Flash backup for a while.
