Our @sequentialscholars.bsky.social spotlight on "The Many Deaths of Laila Starr" starts now with an introduction to your series! #ComicsStudies

Starting tomorrow: @sequentialscholars.bsky.social begins a new series of threads on "The Many Deaths of Laila Starr"! #ComicsStudies #LailaStarr

Haven't read it, sorry!

I persisted, but the comics I ended up liking were not the ones most people recommended.

There is no single best recommendation for anyone looking to get into superhero comics. It's a diverse genre & folks like it for different reasons! In my case: a lot of men recommended me comics where women get sexually assaulted and that probably wasn't the best choice.

Adam and I will be there on Saturday! Hope to see you there!

I sure enjoyed working on this series about some classic Fantastic Four stories. If you missed our @sequentialscholars.bsky.social series on The Galactus Trilogy, here's a thread to catch up!

Our latest for @sequentialscholars.bsky.social: capturing the cosmic sublime in John Byrne's "The Last Galactus Story." #FantasticFour #Galactus #ComicsStudies

In Fantastic Four #51 (1966), no one punches anyone, and few characters use their powers. There’s no world-ending threat, and no one defeats the villain, or even fights him. Which is precisely what makes it one of the pinnacles of Lee and Kirby’s #SilverAge collaboration. 1/12

It glows in the dark!

Recorded some video today, guess what recording some video remains frustrating

How Marvel’s Fantastic Four discovered the human in the superhuman A look at the Fantastic Four in comics from their 1961 debut onwards shows how the the Marvel universe originated from the Four.

At last, I have achieved my final form: a writer whose Fantastic Four musings have been republished by Yahoo! News Canada.

Galactus walking through the city in the film really reminded me of some of these Moebius pages!

Harsh but fair

Hell yeah

Get Adam to draw you something! He's pretty good at it!!

Never a bad time to channel a little Troy Donahue!

Every line of dialogue in A Summer Place is The Most 50s. "Don't get hysterical. Call the doctor to give you a sedative." "Our house was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright." etc.

Marvel’s “Fantastic Four” was originally conceived as a rip-off of DC’s popular “Justice League of America” title, which debuted in 1960. But 1961’s Fantastic Four #1 is much more than that. It’s a revolutionary comic with a legacy that’s still being felt today. 1/12 #SilverAge

Don't overthink it: what comic book panels/pages live in your head rent-free? Drop four and tag #comicsDNA

Shelfdust’s Column, Jimmy Olsen: Issue #9 If you can’t spot the sucker in the first half hour at the table, then you are the sucker. By Michael Hancock In 2021, I was hosting a podcast that was comparing the recently finished Matt Fraction…

"I asked to write for this specific issue because I think it’s a great representation of both the unserious seriousness of play, and Jimmy’s commitment to mimicry and play even while his heart is breaking" - @personofcon.bsky.social
