For those new to BlueSky, I write novels and comics in multiple universes. My latest STAR WARS novel, THE LIVING FORCE, came out this year; I also wrote the first STRANGE NEW WORLDS novel, THE HIGH COUNTRY. And now BATMAN: RESURRECTION, the first original novel tying into the Tim Burton Bat-films.
My STAR WARS: KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC series launched 20 years ago today! It was a blast to write and I'm delighted Marvel has kept the stories of Zayne, Jarael, and Gryph in print.
I'm auctioning a special 20th anniversary copy on eBay today and have restocked KOTOR on my store; links below!

Showing INDEPENDENCE DAY to my son for the first time last night, I recalled first seeing it in San Diego with the much-missed Peter David. He surprised me by including my reactions in his review in COMICS BUYER'S GUIDE. Nobody could write like Peter!

Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes! Today's also the 60th anniversary of the BATMAN TV series debut, though I hasten to note I’m younger than that. I used to say I was "younger than STAR TREK but older than STAR WARS"; as of today I’m officially changing that to "older than MIAMI VICE!"

Thanks to everyone for a great 2025! In addition to releasing BATMAN: REVOLUTION, this year I logged over 50,000 miles, including my first stops in France and Greece — most of it with the assistance of Katie Dunn and others who helped along the way. Next stops: Pensacon and Emerald City Comic Con!

Executive producer of Saturday Night Live, and I can definitely live with that.

I asked writer Ann Nocenti about this issue years later, because it had a SUDDEN story twist ending and a tiny typeset line on the bottom of the last page: “With profound regret we must announce this is the last issue of Spider-Woman.” I wasn’t reading the comics press yet so it came out of nowhere!
The last issue of Spider-Woman had an ending that really packed a punch at the time, and still hit years later on a recent re-read.

New followers this weekend, here's my intro — to which I can add the release of my second novel inspired by Tim Burton's movies, BATMAN: REVOLUTION, in stores now. And I've been told RESURRECTION has gone back to press yet again in hardcover. Find them at www.penguinrandomhouse.com/series/CC8/b...

When we were 12, Steven Scesa and I created a sci-fi universe whose reference guides (actually, huge notebooks) we'd supposedly gotten through time travel. We'd thought them lost until Steven found them and sent them to me. Real Empire Strikes Back-era worldbuilding!

There haven't been new comics sales to report on at year-end on my @comichron.bsky.social history site since 2021, but my every-five-year look at comic-book series numbering has been updated for 2025.
Holiday reading: In 2006, I wrote a Comics Buyer's Guide column coining the term "legacy numbering" and indexing how comics numbering had changed at five-year intervals since 1935. My piece has now been updated through the end of 2025. Find the history at www.comichron.com/faq/legacynu...

Love the selection of recent #StarWars books at the Lake Grove @barnesandnoble.com. For you last-minute shoppers, they all make wonderful gifts. Happy Holidays! (And, yes, I’m wearing a DC Comics hat even though I edit SW & Marvel books. But in all fairness, I did work there for 11 years.) Ho-Ho-Ho!

Peter Arnett has died at 91. The Pulitzer-winning journalist was one of the world’s best-known TV reporters covering wars and insurrections.

So sorry to see this. My dad took me to see the theatrical release of BUCK ROGERS IN THE 25th CENTURY, and I watched every episode of the regular series after that. I got to meet Gil Gerard decades later at a convention; he couldn't have been nicer. variety.com/2025/tv/obit...

Happy 100th, Dick Van Dyke! Even his failures are fascinating. If he'd done better standing in for Jack Paar, all sorts of history changes. His weirdest gig: cohosting the CBS Morning News with Walter Cronkite, who later joked, "How did you ever make it without me?"

The kind of weird coincidence that’d drive me as an author crazy: Cameron Crowe and Tim Curry released memoirs two weeks apart, and as you’d expect they’re alphabetically shelved next to each other in stores. Yet despite different publishers and designers the spine colors and fonts are nearly alike.
