OMG, same.

I need a comics line of Shakespeare plays adapted in various - and beautifully fitting - styles.

110%.

See also: I can't bother keeping track of any other time Jean got revived after this godawful, wrongheaded, shit-the-bed installment.

It screwed over not only the death itself, but also some great fake-out resurrection stories.

White-hot hate forever and ever.

And ever.

What's an opinion about X-Men that'll get you sent to jail? Is Jean really interesting or really boring? Should Logan have stayed dead? Do you think a certain x-mens outfit is positively horrendous even though people seem to love it?

The Brood Saga is better than Dark Phoenix imo 🤷

When protesting thugs and thuggery, don't be thugs and don't commit thuggery. That's how thugs win.

Be smart, be clever, be funny. That's how thugs lose.

(It's not fair, but I hate spitting-throwing-smashing protesters just as much as I hate the thugs.)

A caricature of Lt. Columbo (art by Brad Guigar). The header says Just One More Thing… “I was thinkin’ about this last night, couldn’t sleep, and my wife says, ‘Why don’t you let it go already?’ But here’s the thing: everybody’s lookin’ for that perfect idea. In my line of work, perfect ideas usually mean somebody’s lyin’. The truth’s always a little messy. Art’s the same way.”

Pls consider ordering a book from your local indie bookshop *NOW* before holiday season to give store time to order title if they don't have it? This helps:

(1) support indie bkshops, (2) support human creators, (3) gets you ahead re: busy shopping time.

Psst: maybe one of my books? 🙏🏽💛 #KidLit

studio execs & major outlets claim AI is "inevitable" and poised to take over Hollywood. the reality is much different. i spoke with filmmakers, producers, and editors about how AI is actually showing up in productions – and what it still can't do:
