Werewolf priest cover by John McCrea, Mike Spicer

can’t articulate how exciting it was to get a John McCrea / Mike Spicer cover for my last book, 10/10 validating moment when that art came in

(and, obviously, you should all go follow the spin-off comic that’s now in pre-launch: www.kickstarter.com/projects/zac...)

Hooray!!!! Congratulations to my colleague and to my dear friend Heidi MacDonald editor in chief of The BEAT!!!!! Winner of an Eisner best journalism. Heidi and the BEAT rules!!!!!

Congrats once again to Editor in chief Heidi MacDonald and The BEAT for winning the Eisner Award for Best Comics-Related Journalism!!! Much deserved!!!!!!!!

Here’s a little write-up of three of the activations @rebeccaoliver.bsky.social & I visited this weekend at SDCC ‘25!

This Star Trek: Strange New Worlds immersive dance performance was absolutely one of the San Diego Comic-Con highlights for me! Having part of the cast & crew join the crowd for the final performance was just the cherry on top (see article for pictures).

Panels from PUBLIC DOMAIN #9 in which a comics journalist who looks just like me interviews the series' protagonist.

I haven't talked about this publicly, but last year I was the victim of identity theft. My likeness and identity were stolen and used for nefarious purposes by a person from a foreign country.

That person's name is Chip Zdarsky.

Everyone post #SDCC

Fine, I’ll do it.

First order of business is to create branches like the academy for specific disciplines rather than one set of judges determining everything.

SDCC '25: Eisner Awards admin Jackie Estrada announces retirement after 35 years Longtime Eisner Awards administrator Jackie Estrada has announced her retirement from the position, making this year's ceremony her last.

#SDCC25 Jackie Estrada's retirement from the Eisner Awards is truly the end of an era. I do not envy her successor, who has huge shoes to fill.

HELL YEAH this rules congrats @comixace.bsky.social

Comics journalism is often incredibly thankless. It's challenging. It's a little weird. And while I never imagined specializing in comics when I declared journalism as one of my undergrad majors, I can honestly say that I wouldn't have it any other way.

I am so, so proud to be part of this team. 💖

Truth be told, when I applied to cover NYCC in 2018 for @comicsbeat.bsky.social, I didn't expect @comixace.bsky.social to hire me. I was new to writing about comics and had only covered one con before. But she did, and then I became Managing Editor for a time, and then I left, and then I returned. 🧵
