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!

I do find it kind of hilarious how Linkara described a sad image of someone make copies of Doom's IV during his review, and then in a weird way, I became that person.
The Force Works ashcan has B/W coloring, but the Doom's IV book has a lot more behind the scenes material and fully colored heroes.

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.

No Trickster/Pied Piper, no Monarch/Forerunner building an army, no Superman Prime killing people, no Kyle Rayner, no Morticoccus Virus killing Earth 51, no Duela Dent or Monitor Bob, no scenes of the Monitors doing nothing, and no references to Amazons Attack.
Darkseid still sits on a couch, tho.

Rare to see a boxed Jaguar out in the wild, but seeing the Bootleg Garfield plush that @phelous.bsky.social reviewed was an even more hilarious find.

Told myself that I couldn't go to AwesomeCon until I finished the latest script. Glad I did both.

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.

Yes, all of the episodes are still LISTED on their website, but I don't see a pricetag or any option to access/download the full files. You'd think they could make a fair bit of cash by bundling them together into a full "2000 A.D. Mega Collection" that lasts as long as your average Turtledove book.

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.

Also met up with Mervyn McKoy of Paper Lab Studios (who does great concept art), Chris Sprouse (Artist on Moore's much-celebrated Supreme run), and fellow TTRPG gamer Tini Howard (who signed my Marvel Civil War RPG book, since it's apparently her favorite as well!). All awesome, funny, and helpful!💯

Just got back from #galaxyconrichmond, where I celebrated my 27th birthday with a ton of cool creators! 😎They were very open to conversation, inspiring, and supportive of new talents who came to them!

Green Lantern: Sleepers in particular rankles me because I absolutely LOVE what Priest and his cowriters did with the characters in this trilogy! 💯
Everyone has tons of personality- from supers like Hal, Star Sapphire, Jade, and Alan Scott, to "minor" characters like Irene Miller or Albert Dekker.

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.

Shoutout to Jon M Wilson's coverage of the Image/Valiant crossover Deathmate on his "All the Pouches" podcast for starting me on this cross-company outing (and finally getting me to pull that Unity boxset off the damn shelf!).

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.
