J. Michael Straczynski

Not that I hold a grudge or anything....

The story has literally nothing to do with Sins Past.

Sometimes when I write down what the characters say, they get a laugh out of me. This was one of them.

Synthetics issue 3 cover! Such an amazing series to play in. J Michael Straczynski, Carrie Strachan, and Steve Dutro are all wonderful to work with, and Dark Horse is amazing.

Issue 3 is available for preorder now, so talk to your friendly local comic shop!

I wondered the same thing when I saw the finished issue. Didn't even occur to me until then. But I haven't asked. There are some things Joe was not meant to know.

Four page preview of issue two of The Amazing Spider-Man: Torn, hitting stores this coming Wednesday.

Looks great, thanks. Two typos: Parting should be Partying, and Move should be Mood.

Great to see, thank you. Given those elements, I think issue 2 will come across even stronger.

That sounds about right. I ran into the earliest BBS systems probably around the same time as Captain Power was in production, so our long national nightmare began somewhere around 1987.

Not really, all around...I was online long before B5 and I didn't see any reason to change that, along with wanting to create a living document on how a TV show was made. Didn't really think more broadly, despite the Warners execs who kept saying "Why the hell are you online, these people are mean."

FANTASTIC COMIC FAN: J. Michael Straczynski: More Than You Know Any fans who’ve been around for a bit know the name J. Michael Straczynski. There has been something I’ve wanted to write about for some time that’s a little different. With him recently doing those…

Out of nowhere, a lovely new review of my autobiography, BECOMING SUPERMAN which came out a bit ago.

I just learned that the first issue of The Amazing Spider-Man: Torn debuted at #15 out of the top 200 in sales (just 6 spots behind the main ASM line) and at #14 in sales (just 3 spots behind ASM). And issue 2 is even better. Still time for new readers to jump on board.

Did not disappoint. Pretty cool future-tech thriller that's got a movie-like feel. Great job by the creative team and looking forward to the next one!

‘Synthetics Volume 1 #1:’ Comic Book Review - Fanbasepress This week I had the privilege to review a new comic series created by one of my all-time favorite writers, J. Michael Straczynski. Straczynski created one of

A lovely review.

No, it's unlicensed.

Synthetics Volume One begins today with issue #1, now available in comic shops! Details: https://bit.ly/3Js29nQ

Dive into a new post-apocalyptic sci-fi epic!

From the team of J. Michael @straczynski.bsky.social, @tonyparkerart.bsky.social, Carrie Strachan, and Steve Dutro

Synthetics is a slow build to sharp scifi with great dialogue from @straczynski.bsky.social. Earth is rapidly becoming uninhabitable & those still living try their best to survive. But those who knew it would be this way are working on something forbidden. There's some Evangelion-esque themes here.

This is some early concept art that artist Peter Ledger did for Babylon 5. Show creator J. Michael Straczynski used the art to shop the show around to potential buyers. It’s interesting to note that Delenn was originally going to be a “he”.

Yes, I misspoke.

And lest one forget, in all the SYNTHETICS news, that the trade paperback containing my recent mini-even of one shots, collected under the MARVEL TALES banner, hits comic shops this Wednesday.

It's Captain Jaclyn's company, and her call.

Final reminder: if you want any of the @Babylon5 books published by B5books.com this is your last chance before the company goes away in five days. You may also want to spread the word to any B5 fan groups that might not have already heard it so everyone has a chance.

Advance review (5/5 ⭐) in spanish/english of #SYNTHETICS #1 of 4

A powerful narrative blend of dystopian science fiction and social psychology!

Review: 'Synthetics #1' is a Thought-Provoking Apocalyptic Sci-Fi Dive into Synthetics, a tale of ethical dilemmas and captivating world building that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

"Straczynski delivers with all the sci-fi excellence and craftsmanship he’s known for. It’s a comic that makes you think; it will come at you from different angles...magnificent world building, exploring the moral and ethical impacts of synthetic beings." Out 10/29

Negative, what we had, we shot, and used.

No more so than Shirley Jackson owed a lot to JM Barrie for Peter Pan, or to the story of Narcissus.

Theme is not story. Story is story.

So basically: no.
