The cover to the Megalopolis graphic novel and a nice pull quote from the Library Journal's advance review of the book.

Happy to see this @libraryjournal.bsky.social review of our Megalopolis graphic novel, especially the praise for @thatjacobphillips.bsky.social' beautiful art and colors.

Giving up?

Also, the story we're telling in the graphic novel isn't just an adaptation of the film.

I got an advance of the finished hardcover at SDCC and Jacob’s stuff looks even better in color.

Also, somehow we were in a pic together but I didn’t get a chance to say hi in person. Next time!

@philjimeneznyc.bsky.social is a freakin' treasure and this comic was a gorgeous and touching gift.

Flash 133 comic book cover showing Flash turned into a puppet by Abra Kadabra

Action Comics 314 cover showing Superman flying but with Flash's powers and none of his own and waring his normal costume with only parts of Flash's costume added to it and I don't know how he's flying if he's lost his powers of flight and only has Flash's ground-based superspeed powers and anyway, gotta love '50s and '60s comic covers.

I saw that cover for the first time at last year's San Diego Comic-Con and had to grab it. It hasn't left my spinner rack since. And I added another silly Flash-related one this year, too, so now I guess it's an annual tradition.

This is stunning. Pretty much everything @knowlan.bsky.social pencils, inks, or colors (and occasionally letters) is amazing, and this is a particularly good example of everything he does so well. Dave’s colors, too.

There are so many great people in that book! Most of all Scott Morse, who put together an amazing package.

Coming from @abramscomicarts.bsky.social and Marvel April 2026!

Big announcement pending. Abrams ComicArts panel 10am-11am room 23ABC. 10 minutes from now!

I really love @sandiegocomic-con.bsky.social.

Hey, I just saw that you're doing something very cool that may not have been announced yet but it made me very happy to see your name connected to it!

Ozzy Osborne, holding a bucket of water he's about to throw on the audience and holding a hand to his ear after telling the audience to "let me see your fuckin' hands!" for the 30th time that night.

In LA, I was waiting for my hotel elevator when the doors opened and inside was Sharon & Ozzy, dressed up for a show. I stared. Long enough that I Ozzy said, "He's just fookin' standing there! I think maybe he's an idiot!" Then the door closed and off they went. I think maybe Ozzy was right. R.I.P.

Ozzy Osbourne, pioneering heavy metal singer and Black Sabbath frontman, dies at 76 Word of Osbourne’s demise came weeks after the ailing front man reunited with his original Black Sabbath bandmates.

Ozzy Osbourne died.

Of the many obituaries I wrote for @NBCNews, some you hope never need to surface.

This one was co-written with one of my mentors, journalism heroes, and friend @corkysiemaszko.bsky.social

Sabbath was the soundtrack of my youth. RIP.

That guy has always sucked and I wish the Chicago Tribune would update this old article because ROM deserves better than to be linked to him like this.

Three comics people now. I had no idea.

Which is funny because I was just looking for good Dredd songs to tag an IG post. Wish I’d known then!

I would’ve accepted any one of Barry’s 4 covers for this series. But this one is definitely the best of the four.
