@collinkelly.bsky.social and @jacksonlanzing.bsky.social are two of the most thoughtful writers I’ve ever had the opportunity to speak with and this conversation is a great breakdown of how “The Hivemind” works. If you like it, be sure to put The Last Starship on your pull list by Monday! #comicsky
Kamala talks with Jean Kamala tells a bad joke and Wolverine winces The cover for “The Last Starship” issue 1 The cover of Escape the Mojoverse’s interview with Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing about Giant-Size X-Men.

Tomorrow, we’re sitting down with @owenlikescomics.bsky.social to discuss @ryannorth.ca ‘s first vol of Fantastic Four. At the end of issue 1 Ryan gives us his four guiding lights of the book (below). This narrative and artistic ethos is one reason why this book is a damn modern classic. #comicsky
Text that reads: 

1. The Fantastic Four are fun.
These are people who know they can help people and are here to do exactly that. No angst, having super-powers rules!
2. The Fantastic Four are adventurers.
Exploring the unexplored is fun and gratifying. The unknown and the impossible are crazy interesting!
3. The Fantastic Four can do anything.
If we want to recapture the feeling of the FF as they were in the '60s where anything could happen, we have to let what's come before be there to inspire stories but not limit them.
4. The Fantastic Four are accessible.
This is a comic for people who've read every Fantastic Four appearance since 1961, but it's also one that welcomes people who have never read a single Fantastic Four comic betore or even a single Marvel comic. While we have deep-cut references to what's come before, you won't feel left out if you don't know it, because this is a comic for everyone.

Absolute Wonder Woman is excellent and one of the books we most look forward to each month. Allison was lucky to sit down with @kellythompson.bsky.social to discuss its first year of publication, the process of creating the pitch, and what we might expect going forward. It’s a fun one! #comicsky

I just want to take a second to compliment my partner @allisonparent.bsky.social , who in 15 months went from never having read a comic to interviewing @kellythompson.bsky.social on their own. Also Absolute Wonder Woman is so fucking good you guys. If you’re not reading it, change that! #comicsky

If we’re doing an action/drama focused book after Cody Ziglar’s incredible and wholesome run, Percy is about as perfect a pick as you could make.

We're at the Gotham City panel at #NYCC. Announced: Sirens: Love Hurts. The girls are real; they fight and get pissed off, talk about each other behind their backs, but they're still all friends. The book has something for everybody. It will make you want to go party and get married.

Oops I forgot how annoying comics fans on Twitter are during NYCC. I should probably just delete that app.

I’m a huge Charles Soule guy so I’ve really loved Eddie Brock Carnage. It’s fun and gross and Eddie is just so screwed at every moment, it rules.
mattparent.bsky.social
It’s me, the person all these books and events about Carnage are for. I’m sorry you guys. I just love this horrible gooey pokey boy.

Hmmm… I don’t have a prediction (other than, we’re probably doing a more serious book, but that is the pitch from the teaser), but I can say that we’re going to be adding WWDP to our new comics episodes in February
mattparent.bsky.social
I’m going to predict this here before tomorrow, (and if I’m wrong we can point and laugh at me) one of the reasons Psylocke might not have a solo is I think Cyclops will not be a part of the Adjectiveless team post AOR and Psylocke will be the team lead/main character.

Got to read an early copy of Ten Ton Titan Terrier by @peposed.bsky.social and @ornitoplatypus.bsky.social it’s so fun, so full of joy. The art gives you a fresh take on Saturday morning cartoons. I teach middle school students who would love this, but it’s def for all ages. Out TODAY! #comicsky

Our themes for the next few months. (We made our decision for our January Marathon we’re reading Generation X)
In November we’re talking Mutant extended family, like Namor, Big Bertha and the GLA, Ms. Marvel, and Gwenpool In December it’s the naughty and nice list. Some of the best books of the year and some Patreon requests along with, not bad books but characters behaving badly In January we’re reading all of Generation X vol 1 AND vol 2

We are going to have to add, “Matt chokes up/cries on pod” to this “take a drink” list after this week’s episode. #comicsky
I wish I could stay at The Avengers Academy Forever” M’Krann and Immortus loved telling this story together, whether it is remembered (it will be) or not. Justin’s mom is the best.
