Remember when the Joker became an Iranian Ambassador in Death of the Family so he could gain diplomatic immunity after killing Jason Todd?
Well, here's #markhamill 's version of that moment- from 1996's Legend of Robin audio drama!

Watched Fantastic Four: First Steps yesterday with my nephew- but I didn't wanna break my thoughts on it into Bluesky-sized chunks- so I wrote a whole Substack review on it!

I feel like such a nerd for admitting this, but I've been using the Tennant floor scrubber at the warehouse so often that I've put together a playlist for it.
And guess which three songs are first on the list? That's right- Terran 1, 2, and 3 from Starcraft.

Made a pair of custom ashcans of 90s books so I could have a physical reference for my own preview books: specifically Force Works and Doom's IV #1/2.
I know ashcans are sometimes old hat, but I feel it really goes help me develop my craft and short story skills- like Kyle Higgins suggested.

Who in their right minds at Marvel thought that Spider-Man One More Day needed a hardcover treasury edition? In the 2020s, no less?!

Hot damn! You mean once this book comes out and I'm in my late 40s, I'll finally be able to Create Comics the Marvel Way?!
Yeah... I think I'll stick with my copies of Scott McCloud and Denny O'Neil's guides to making/writing comics.

Started clipping bits from the DC Graphic Audio/BBC1 Audio Dramas and putting them with their comic pages- starting with Final Crisis and Death of Superman.
It helps practice my editing skills, but hopefully it also raises awareness of these great actors/performances.

Been zig-zagging around the Herndon/Sterling area while the electrical company looks for places to put us red-hats to good use.
On one hand, it's putting my adaptability to the test... but since we've got an extra hour of sleep back (showing up to work at 6AM instead of 5), I'll happily take it.

I'm sorry... Phelous AND Sliders? Together at last?
I think we've found the best combo since chocolate and peanut butter.

Recently finished listening to 52's adaptation by Graphic Audio, now moving on to Countdown- one of the most infamous messes in the history of DC Comics.
I already know it's less bad because it cuts certain things out like in 52, but how much did Greg Cox improve the book? That's what I wanna know.

Really cheesed off to see the excellent Judge Dredd #2000AD audio series by #bigfinish vanish off the face of the earth from Internet Archive.
Unless the rights holders are planning to RE-RELEASE them in a more convenient and accessible format (ie: Audible), then it's essentially digital erasure.

It's kind of absurd how hard it is to get ahold of the #dccomics Graphic Audio Dramas compared to Marvel. I can find Days of Future Past and Planet Hulk easily on Audible, but great stuff like No Man's Land, 52, and Green Lantern: Sleepers? I have to buy a Google Drive link from a 3rd party website.

Just listened to Graphic Audio's version of Batman: No Man's Land, adapted by @gregrucka.com and #dccomics.
It's a really well-written and voice-acted two-parter, though that also means the combined story is eleven hours. "A Movie in Your Mind", my ass- this was like binging an entire TV season!

Found this obscure pic of Jack Kirby's Female Furies by John K Snyder III.
Been working on a pitch for a miniseries featuring Darkseid and Granny Goodness' shock troops, and this piece really captures the vibe I was going for: a fearsome five-woman force of nature forged by the fires of Apokolips.

Prepping to do some heavy writing during an upcoming vacation, so I'm changing the water in my reference pool with some fresh books.
I'll be visiting WildStorm with Jim Lee/Brandon Choi's Stormwatch and Gen¹³, then Valiant Comics with Solar and their acclaimed Unity crossover.
