Who? Me? My name's Katie, and I'm a writer, podcaster, and overall dingus. I'm in the freelance comic game and working on some rad personal projects, and I'm the co-host of the Script Heroes Podcast! Follow for comic reviews and writerly woes. Engage for dumb jokes and friendship. ♥️🤙

Last month we read every founding Image book, now it's time to see how Valiant stacks up! Certainly not as pretty as (most of) Image's stuff, but there are some WILD stories happening in that first year of publication! Check it out!

So tense! Horvath is so in tune with every decision in this book. It's all so nerve wracking!

Super excited that @jjaz1111.bsky.social and I are going to go to #BaltimoreComicCon together! Who are we going to see there? 👀

I think the Hack/Slash card game needed a bit of play testing... My friends and I have now played the base game multiple times and done each of the expansions. The power ramping pretty rough, some of the math doesn't quite work out, and a lot of rounds feel *very* same-y. It looks great tho!

Katie Marcum @katiemarcumpro.bsky.social · 8d

I can't believe I just had to read a Plastic Man story 🤮 Worth the pain for a weird and beautiful reuniting of Daniel Warren Johnson and Riley Rossmo, tho! And I really enjoyed the Etrigan and Swamp Thing stories, plus the Batman short was neat! #ZatannicPanic

What's better than getting comic pages back from an artist with a massive, beautifully rendered dragon across the top panel? Nothing. Nothing is better than that. 🔥🐲

Rogue Sun has been such a high point in the Massive-Verse! I can't say I loved this volume AS MUCH as I loved the first one, but that's an insanely high bar. Creative swings and universe expansion abound, it's what you need in the second arc of an ongoing series. Full thoughts in the video! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

We're diving back into the Massive-Verse to talk about Rogue Sun Volume 2!
