UPDATE: Someone told me I look like a cross between (two-minute pause while he looked up pics on his phone) Aaron Rodgers and Tom Segura, and I think I need to shave off all my facial hair.

Thinking you will never make it to work for the big 2? Well, Marvel green lit this so have hope.

It’s a great time for new Muppets content, between Roger’s new Muppets comic and the new Muppet Show on D+.

Who doesn't love a good Hugo Strange and his Monster Men rampage?

Sorry, sometimes you gotta let the bad ones slip past QC.

What’s a little tongue between friends, right?

My wife’s favorite Disney YouTuber just discovered Jeff the LandShark. I repeat, Jeff has broken containment. Jeff has broken containment. This is not a drill.

Pursuant to a conversation we have on next week’s CXF Interview Podcast, if you could remake The Big Lebowski with Muppets (Jeff Bridges remains The Dude, all else is felt), which Muppets would play which characters?

This Adam Hughes cover is doing so much.

Still have two eps to go, but loving this show and can't wait to read Armaan's thoughts here

I have always enjoyed @armaanautomatic.itch.io writing at Comics XF and this essay is no exception

Join @austingorton.bsky.social & I as we tackle this issue's cowboys, monsters, and Gambit, NO! It's a fun time in the swamp.

New Uncanny X-Men review from me and @adamreck.bsky.social, featuring two things I love (Westerns and Marvel analogs of the Universal Monsters) and one thing I don't love (cat endangerment)! #XMen #UncannyXMen #XSpoilers

Gambit tried to eat a what now?

@adamreck.bsky.social & @austingorton.bsky.social do the Monster Mash (and beg Remy to put down that cat). 🙀
