I am founding a not-for-profit website where independent comic creators and small publishers can easily sell their works to libraries, plus provide other services. Called (for now) the Comics Librarian Commons, this will be an online hub bringing independent creators and librarians together.

Last year Navigating with You won a few awards, but Dog Knight from me & got a very different distinction:
Last year The Dog Knight got banned.
I always suspected books of mine would get banned, but this one hit hard, because it's a book about a nonbinary kid finding their place in the world.

At least then I could take solace knowing Trump and all his enablers and supporters would face consequences for their actions some day.

The FF cover is so cool, and that alone lands it a spot on my favorites this week. X-MEN finally brought me the Juggernaut moment I’ve been waiting for; a good character moment manifesting as conflict with Beast.
Also, I can’t wait to read more of these GODZILLA LIBRARY COLLECTIONS.

Husband: “How does Aunt May not figure out Peter is Spider-Man?”
Me: “Actually she did figure it out. Twice.”
“Huh?”
“Yeah, one was retconned and the other was magic-ed away.”
“Huh?”
“The first time it wasn’t May, it was an imposter. The second time, the Devil rewrote reality.”
