Came to see @fnatic.com win it at @redbull.com Home Ground but G2 had other plans. Guess we’re rooting for Zeta Division now! #Valorant
NRG vs Zeta Division at Red Bull Home Ground. Boaster is a top notch Captain.

Proudly pronouncing Mary, Marry, and Merry as three unique words.
A map that shows how most of the country, except New Jersey, conflates the pronunciation of the word’s Mary (rhymes with Fairy), Marry (rhymes with Harry), and Merry (rhymes with Berry).

At the hockey rink (as usual). Someone left a stack of classics in the lounge.
A stack of comic books including New Teen Titans 37 (1983), Mighty Thor 398 (1988), X-Men 14 (1981), and GI Joe 54 (1986) among others.

The boys have been working hard on this one. @skybound.bsky.social is coming to OverPower.

Here's a fun job/comics/games update. I'll use a screen shot from LinkedIn to spare you all a massive thread. The short version is OverPower is back!

Back in the early days of my career, I was the creative director for Marvel trading cards. It was a dream role—I collaborated with legendary artists, introduced phenomenal new talent, and contributed to the design of award-winning card sets during the golden age of trading cards. Yet, one particular highlight stands out above the rest: OverPower. I was lucky enough to be part of the genesis of OverPower, Marvel’s iconic Collectible Card Game, as one of its co-creators. Launching with industry titans like Magic and Pokémon, it became a cornerstone of the CCG landscape. Its success grew rapidly, branching out to include characters from DC and Image, igniting a tournament circuit, and cultivating devoted fans. It was the definitive comic book CCG. Sadly, when Marvel faced bankruptcy in the 90s, OverPower came to an abrupt halt. It seemed like the end. But the story wasn’t over. For 25 years, fans kept the game alive, organized tournaments, refined the rules, introduced fan-made cards featuring beloved characters, and—above all—they continued to play. Last year, a studio founded by fans of the original game acquired the rights and officially revived it. It’s a true comeback story! I’m incredibly proud to have been invited to join their advisory board. The team at Lazarus Rising has done a phenomenal job preserving the heart of the game while reinventing it for a new generation. They’ve streamlined the gameplay, expanded the universe to include legendary figures like Tarzan, Dracula, Zorro, Sherlock Holmes, and Cthulhu, and stayed true to the game’s roots by collaborating with publishers like Top Cow—with more to come. I couldn’t be happier to see OverPower thriving once again, and I’m thrilled to play a role in shaping its future. A heartfelt thank you to Joseph Gagnepain, Ronald Pozzi, Keith Bursack and the entire Lazarus Rising team for bringing me onboard. Here’s to making this game everything it was destined to be—and playing for the win this time around!

My dog is a purebred Boston Terrier. And he’s pushing 50 lbs. He’s a tank. Like a sea lion in a dog body. Boston Terriers are not supposed to be this big. I think he might be the biggest Boston Terrier on Earth.
This is Buck. The largest Boston Terrier on Earth, coming in at 49.5 lbs. He loves food (obviously), cuddling, and naps. He is a very good boy. This is a chart showing the average size and weight of Boston Terriers. According to PetMD (and pretty much every source online), Boston Terriers are supposed to clock in at 12-25 lbs.

A post from Donald Trump using hockey to promote his stupid expansionist garbage. It reads, “I’ll be calling our GREAT American Hockey Team this morning to spur them on towards victory tonight against Canada, which with FAR LOWER TAXES AND MUCH STRONGER SECURITY, will someday, maybe soon, become our cherished, and very important, Fifty First State…” and he goes on with some other absolute nonsense. He’s the worst.

Absolutely. Also, speaking of James Jean, we got him to do a cover for a comic sponsored by PowerAde and LeBron James. Anything goes in Creative Services!
The cover for King James by artist James Jean. It was a comic book where LeBron James saves the word from nefarious forces by competing in an underground basketball tournament. It was paid for and sponsored by Coca-Cola and a promotion for Powerade.

I could probably do a whole series of posts about weird shit that we got away with at DC Comics simply because nobody cared about "Creative Services." Like the time we got guys like Eduardo Risso and Paul Pope to do a fashion inserts starring Young Justice.
Someone had the insane idea to promote fashion inside issues of DC Comics. We hired a fashion writer to provide the copy and artists like Eduardo Risso (best know for the adult noir Vertigo series 100 Bullets) and Paul Pope (best known for his Eisner-award winning work on Batman: Year 100 and Battling Boy) for the visuals. I'm reasonably sure that nobody but those that were involved in making the project cared about the project.

I think about this a lot! The use of communal internet phrases as a sort shorthand is annoying but then just last night I read this (from ON TYRANNY by Timothy Snyder) and now I hate it even more.
Be Kind to our Language. Avoid pronouncing the phrases everyone does. Think up your own way of speaking, even if only to convey that thing you think everyone is saying. Make an effort to separate yourself from the internet. Read books.

Even snuck my name onto a classic trek card in place of a nameless Red Shirt. 😇
The much coveted “Ron Perazza” card from Star Trek: The Card Game.
