Saw It’s Never Over tonight and it’s a mesmerizing, moving tribute to the brief but dazzling flame 🔥 that was #jeffbuckley. Beautifully directed with stunning footage & heartfelt reflections that don’t shy away from showing how legacy, fame and depression affected Jeff and the people who loved him.

This Saturday, I'll be at Comic Book Mania! I had a lot of fun at this show last year, so I'm looking forward to doing it again. I'll have the BY THE HORNS Vol. 2 HC, copies of the anthologies I contributed to over the last year, the final copies of the VORACIOUS books and more.

Ozzy Osbourne was and always will be the Godfather of #Metal. He was the first and the face of all things heavy.

Goodnight, Prince of Darkness. Thank you forever. 🤘🏽

I remember collaborating with Peter on a signed Fallen Angel bookplate giveaway that I promoted at the end of the original interview. Peter sent me a ton of those bookplates to mail out to readers, which was really generous. I still have 3 of them.

Found an interview I did with Peter David 21 yrs ago when I wrote for the now defunct SBC website. It's about Fallen Angel, his phenomenal creator-owned series that struggled to find an audience. But despite the challenges, FA ran for 61 total issues. I loved every one.

Loved celebrating the release of the new #Pelican LP at #DMenTap last night! The band was kind enough to sign their debut release for me. Got that CD way back in 2003! Pelican is the very first local band I fell for when I moved to #Chicago in 2000. They are the musical spirit of this city for me.

Owning a rivet-holed piece of the legendary Ed Force One aircraft is just so incredibly #metal. ✈️💥🤘🏽

All new Endless Metal Podcast featuring #DEADYELLOW is up! So fun for me and Ben to interview the band about their album "What Was Left of Them" & count down our Top 3 Black Metal Albums. Doing Top BM LPs was tough, so I shared a bonus list at the end of the ep!

Since I was a little kid, I’ve always tried to live up to the ideal that #superman represents. Now, more than ever, truth, justice, courage, kindness, compassion, and standing up and taking action for what’s right matters in this world. Happy #supermanday everyone.

Recovering from another phenomenal @decibelmagazine.bsky.social Metal & Beer Fest in Philly! First night started off with a brutal bang. Saw my favorite #deathmetal band #Incantation devastate the prefest, AND threw horns with their incomparable leader and #metal legend John McEntee! 🤘🏽🍻💥

Fourteen years married to my love. 🥰 I knew I was in deep trouble when Tracy asked me to go with her to #homedepot to buy a ladder on our 2nd date. 🪜♥️🥂#anniversary #weddinganniversary

Can’t thank my friend Dan enough for sending me this epic #vinlandsaga tome out of the blue. LOVED it. I find myself getting into #manga more lately because I prefer the long-form storytelling in linear volumes.

I can’t wait to watch the first 2 eps of Daredevil: Born Again tonight! Haven’t been this excited for a #marvelstudios show in a long while. Re-binged the previous 3 seasons & #Defenders so I’m ready to watch my fav superhero bring the new 🔥. #daredevilbornagain #daredevil #marvelcomics #hornsup

The evening sky from my back porch consistently amazes me. Tonight, the moon 🌙 and Venus owned the night. ✨

I think the last time I saw #snapcase live was in 1997 at #hungrycharlies in Syracuse. Almost 30 years later and they still tear it the F up on stage. Hell of a night to kick off my 2025 showgoing.

One benefit of being a night owl is that I get to watch the final episodes of #CobraKai before everyone else. 🌙🦉🥋💥
