I love the minifig series like these. Even the D&D ones were pretty rad.

The chief film critic. The former TV editor and most recent Styles editor. Dozens more in the last year. This isn’t a brain drain. It’s a self-inflicted lobotomy.

IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS boxset display with the slipcase showing the dark church surrounded by tentacle, the disc sleeve with more lovecraftian imagery surrounding the church, the booklet cover with the main protagonist in his asylum cell with clothes and walls covered in crosses

Since some have asked, yes there is a (folded) poster of my cover inside the new @arrowvideo.bsky.social 4K UHD ltd edt boxset of @thehorrormaster.bsky.social classic! I did a mock-up tho show roughly the size (~16x20"). I also illustrated the cover of the booklet included.

Hey writer folks: do you know anyone who covers the indie country music scene? Asking for my PR co-worker at my day job. Thanks (shares would be helpful too!) πŸ–€

For a long time, there was it was regularly expressed that the internet put the whole of human knowledge at our fingertips, and we obsessed over cat videos.

I always thought it spoke of one of the better things we are, like a random person, deciding to take care of a kitten, because they can.

Psst. Continues today. And if you've read it and wanna leave a review somewhere, then I'll love you forever. Or at least until you disappear at the top of the staircase. Ha ha what I didn't say anything.

DC was better prepared with Superman material for the voracious audience coming in. Many graphic novels, hardcovers, & #1 issues at range of prices which is important. Marvel has too much unavailable or in expensive formats. No Byrne or Simonson FF in softcover in 2025 & a Hickman volume unavailable

The high five is a hand gesture whereby two people simultaneously raise one hand and slap the flat of their palm against the other.[2] The gesture is often preceded verbally by a phrase like "Give me five", "High five", or "Up top". Its meaning varies with the context of use but can include as a greeting, congratulations, or celebration.

There are many origin stories of the high five,[3] but the first and two most documented candidates are Dusty Baker and Glenn Burke of the Los Angeles Dodgers professional baseball team on October 2, 1977, and Wiley Brown and Derek Smith of the Louisville Cardinals men's college basketball team during the 1978–1979 season.[4][5]

saw the new FANTASTIC FOUR movie and was PULLED OUT OF THE MOVIE by the ubiquitous use in the sixties of characters HIGH-FIVING EACH OTHER

the high-five was invented in 1977 by gay baseball player Glenn Burke (and became a gay shibboleth til the straights stole it) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_five

I dropped a poster tube in the #sdcc exhibit hall trying to get a signature. The poster inside has 2 dozen autographs collected at events in multiple states and countries. The tube has a name and address on it, it’s easy to id; but I’m devastated, I feel like such an idiot. #sdcclostandfound

When I get asked "what comic should I start with" I usually just point at the new comics rack and say "find something that looks interesting to you, and give it a shot!" Because honestly, hitting a newbie with, like, DECONSTRUCTION COMICS: THE GRAPHIC NOVEL won't do 'em any favors.
