I went to the Billy Ireland Museum's Bill Watterson exhibit about 10 years, and it was pretty amazing seeing his original work in person and see some the subtle changes that were made before they were published.

Redcoat, the Ghost Machine/Image Comics title from Geoff Johns and Bryan Hitch, is in development as a feature film through Atlas Entertainment.
Too bad Marvel is shutting down their API. Didn't use it often, but it was useful those times I did.

The very short-lived 1970s series "O.M.A.C., the One Man Army Corps" from @dc.com
Dystopia was never as weird, twisted, or unsettling to kids as under the creative mind and hand of the greatest comic creator ever, Jack "The King" Kirby.
The series scared me as a kid, but now, it fascinates me.
Great movie!

The appeal to readers is obvious, and to our businessβs bottom line, but philosophically we donβt grow comics unless we make publishers and creators more money.

Watched the #Peacemaker Season 2 finale, and enjoyed the season.
It's really too bad there isn't going to be a 3rd season, since the plan seems to be too have the characters appear in future DC movies.
I'm planning on watching this sometime this week.
