So this Tuesday! @comicsunmasked.bsky.social is dropping our first interview! I got the amazing opportunity to sit down with writer of Mr Terrific Year One, Al Letson to talk about the book as well as what it means to be a black comic fan. The show is available on all podcast platforms.

It'd be nice if retailers were this enthusiastic about characters starring black characters. Mr Terrific Year One is struggling right now and Im fearful for Static Batman Beyond in November. I'm happy for @gwillow.me tho!

I'm not gonna lie re entering the comics social media space after 4 years of keeping my distance has been insane but so comforting to be back where I belong.

When you get a minute I implore you to look on twitter and TikTok and see the utter outrage at your book ending. People love your work and had high hopes at it continuing. Please know you did amazing work.

I woke up to a lot of folks upset about Green Arrow being cancelled & it breaks my heart. It sucks because this industry lives & dies by single issue preorders. Publishers don’t care about digital or trades. If you want titles to survive, you have to preorder the floppies!

4 years and many hurdles later, plus a stint in the video game streaming world, I’m finally back, refreshed and ready to hop on the mic to talk about the medium I love most. πŸŽ™οΈ Show starts Tuesday. You can find a teaser on Spotify, Apple, and IHeart.

In 2016 I started a podcast that grew into a site I funded out of my own pocket. I grinded hard, with friends & volunteers helping it thrive. Then the pandemic + my mom passing stopped it all. I even let an amazing opportunity with @popversesays.bsky.social as they launched slip through my fingers

So the Digimon Story Games are connected, and there's lose threads in some of the Digimon World games and their sequels. But like otherwise they just redefine the universe each game series

Prepping a video on this but wanted to share: DC has long had a warped view of what’s β€œgood for their brand” & their β€œstandards of conduct,” so I’m not surprised. The book wasn’t perfect, but firing her over statements paints a grim picture for the medium’s future.

It's been a hot minute so I don't even know where I'd find the receipts of this but I remember what you're talking about. Im already prepping to record a video about this because it's definitely an interesting choice especially when she's been a target of CG clowns for a bit

I keep wondering every day why I keep one foot in Twitter and then gingerly tap my foot over here...Then I remember that not every comic and game publisher and game studio uses this when it's far superior

What I find funny is there's actual Tank character they can put in but they keep modifying thick women to be Tanks instead πŸ˜‚Im excited to see the boys faces when they find out Angela is a lesbian

Im not gonna lie it's gonna be real funny when Marvel Rivals players find out that Angela isn't even a Marvel character she's the product of 2 white men being petty and suing each other non stop lol

This is honestly what I've been searching for. My biggest issues are it feels like so much gay books are not written by gay men, and theyre either ya, or smut. There's no in between. I want solid adult storytelling written by gay men and it not just be skinny white dude stories either.

The New 52 had gems for sure, but so many books were messy from the jump. From continuity issues, mischaracterizations, and some awful choices. Starfire written like a sex robot, Wonder Girl’s armor tied to an abusive ex… rough stuff.

Also hi Anne! It's been ages! lol
