Actually no. The first part of the scene quotes Twain with appropriate attribution. It even has quotation marks for clarity. The second part after the marks leading to "no, you move," is mine.

Not insofar as I know.

Preview of the final issue of my Marvel mini-event of unlikely pair ups. This one is just for fun.

As noted, the paper edition came out a while back, the only way to get this now is via the Kindle edition.

The print graphic novel came out a while back and is out of print. The Kindle version is the only version now available.

The 162 page version is the full version. No idea why Amazon put Volume 1 on there.

I've been alerted that when folks downloaded the Kindle edition of my graphic novel TEN GRAND it only had the first six issues due to an Amazon glitch; this has been fixed so if you got only the first six, you should be able to download it all now.

Yes, but unfortunately it's called Humanity.

A reminder that my journey through the universe has brought me back to my favorite character, and that orders are now being taken for issue one of THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: TORN. Having a blast writing for Peter once again.

Yes, a thread based on my friend and mentor, Norman Corwin, being a distinguished guest lecturer at San Diego State University when we first met.

Orders being taken now for my new creator owned title, SYNTHETICS, coming in October from Dark Horse: a near-future science fiction story about what happens when we decide to create synthetic humans to save a poisoned earth. Will we let them save us or revert to our worst selves?

To give credit where it belongs, David is the one who decided to (and fought for) her to move to New York. I just got her on a computer for the first time (which Angela appreciated, made her feel less archaic).

Also a reminder that the Kindle edition of my graphic novel DREAM POLICE is now available for the first time in complete form. The Dream Police protect those who enter the Dreamscape from all the dark and terrible things lurking at the edge of reality.

2/ In the book we meet Johnny Secondsight who peered too deeply into the spirit world and now can only see that world; cults, demons, a dangerous, deranged angel and a kidnapping in heaven. A love story inside a horror story and one of my favorite pieces

For the first time my graphic novel TEN GRAND is available on Amazon Kindle. Joe Fitzgerald agrees to become God's hitman and in return every time he dies in a righteous cause he gets 10 minutes in heaven with his deceased wife. Enduring pain and knives and bullets for love /1

#GhostRider Vs #Galactus by
@straczynski.bsky.social is easily one of the best comics I've read all year! And the art by @juanferreyra.bsky.social is amazing! Bloody brilliant work, sirs!

This happened, and happens, all the time with Sense8. The W's are the well known film names, I'm the TeeVee guy, so as a result so many articles and reviews never even mentioned my participation, or if they did, just one, offhandedly, like "created by the W's and a passing protozoa." I'm used to it

I don't have digital files on them and I'm not sure that they're good enough to put back out there...one was a first novel, and the other, well, a second novel. I keep debating that over and over and thus never get around to it.

No.

Which of course is exactly what you'd want to do as a misdirect. If you're concealing who someone is, you wouldn't put their usual logo on the front.

Didn't suggest that Supes would actually kill anyone, only that this could be Lex's plan, to try and force this to happen.

Guessing the masked secret character behind "the hammer of Boravia" in the Superman movie is Supergirl. Brainwashed or controlled by Lex. Either she kills Supes (Lex owns the only Kryptonian) or Supes kills the only other survivor of his world (grief). Possible entry point to the Supergirl movie.

Eminem didn't come up with "orange/door hinge" (neither did I, nor did I indicate that, only that I still go with it). It traces back to at least the 1960s when Arlo Guthrie mentioned it on the Smothers Brothers show, which is where I heard it as a kid.

Someone repeated the other day that there's no rhyme for "orange" but "door-hinge" should definitely count.

Gwen, Harry, Peter and MJ are all alive and well. I wanted to delve into the college years, when they and most of us are in the process of figuring out the future we want for ourselves, set against the backdrop of that long summer night we thought would never end.
