Now that I’m in the first stages of being a middle-aged white man, is it okay to say that I really, really, really love eBay?

ANTIMATTER A One-Man-thology of Dean Haspiel Deep Cuts

I just launched my new comix Kickstarter: ANTIMATTER a one-man-thology showcasing my personal pantheon of creator-owned characters featuring THE RED HOOK, CHEST FACE, BILLY DOGMA + JANE LEGIT, COVID COP, and AI JOE!

Rarity from me. I took some time during @newyorkcomiccon.bsky.social for something other than comics!

I interviewed the star & showrunners of upcoming sci-fi espionage TV show “The Copenhagen Test” and the results are here:

In the richest city in America, we cannot simply accept that 500,000 kids go to bed hungry every night.

A good con was had by all and, to all, a good night.

A fun bird’s eye snap I took at @newyorkcomiccon.bsky.social!

You’re very welcome!

She really, REALLY is.

To explain the time setting, I parsed a few details but at the bottom I linked to a site that broke down as many real-world differences as possible based on their public interviews.

I had fun both watching this one and writing it up for this never-ending project of mine!

I’m not sure I realized the prologue to “The Fellowship of the Ring” is written by an unnamed character when I first read it as a high school freshman.

“Concerning Hobbits” is a cute introduction but it’s also literally an in-universe anthropological report.

This nerd thinks that’s very cool.

The Utah Legislature, which has a Republican super majority, changed the law earlier this year to make it legal to openly carry a gun on college campuses. Used to be concealed carry w/ permit.

He deserved to grow old enough to see shame in his grandchildren’s eyes.

I believe we all deserve the time to have the chance to grow and attempt redemption for our personal and public stupidities.

Political right-wing extremist Charlie Kirk has been shot dead today.

We all need to be strong enough to listen, declare: ‘I’d rather live in a better word than what you’re describing.’, and move on.

Murder is never the answer.

Comic Networking Tip. This has been said before, but it’s worth saying again - being kind and helpful to others in the community is rule number one. It’s a small pond. People talk and want to work with good people who are also talented.
But also, we should all try to be kinder anyway.

YES.
PLEASE.
BLOODY HELL, YES.

Still crazy enough to keep going with this project that will never end. Recent post that came out pretty good:

You’re so very welcome!

People make art under hellish conditions locked up in prisons as just one example. It's because making things affirms our humanity. So yes, make art during fascism. What are we fighting for? A free society FOR ALL where we can revel in beauty, culture and all good things.

In retrospect, “Captain America: The First Avenger” sort did it, right? That one’s a bit too on the nose for me though. That and “Annabelle: Creation” feel really like a swing and a miss, by comparison.

If you've listened to an interview any time in the last year, you heard me tease there was something big coming.

WELCOME TO SOMETHING BIG.

Buffy was incredibly formative to me. She's one of my favorite heroines of all time. Writing this is the dream. The pitch is WILD, & I hope you guys love it. 🖤

Just caught The Movie called “Superman” last night & had a great time! Wow, streaming already!?

(I can’t see the new movie until Tuesday. I don’t usually care about spoilers & I’m really not much of a Supes fan but if you post any kind of story spoiler under this, I will hunt you down…)

I love this new-ish thing where prequels give you a cute hint they are prequels: “X-Men: First Class”, “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story”, “Transformers One”.

Democrats are not "asleep" "weak" "credulous" "naive" or even "conservative."
Democrats are evil.
Democrats are the 'good cop' to GOP's 'bad cop,' and both are trying to harm you.
They are working TOGETHER to pass laws for private wealth and criminalize your objections.
Look at Palestine.
Wake up.
