Hi #PortfolioDay

I'm James. I love making fun games. I love writing new stories. I love working with cool people.

I’m currently a narrative director at Ubisoft.

I’m also a freelance comics writer, looking for new opportunities in both franchise and creator-owned spaces.

I read IRON MAN EPIC COLLECTION: WAR MACHINE. Interesting to see that they repeated the story bits of replacing Stark with Rhodes 10 years later. For me burning through Epics it felt quick, like "again?" but I wonder if it felt new or refreshed if you were reading it monthly in real time.

“Best regards”

A letter from STANLEY KUBRICK
August 27, 1970
James T. Aubrey, Jr.
Metro Goldwyn Mayer

Beverly Hills, CA 90210
Dear James,
It has come to my attention that you and your
studio are considering producing a sequel to "2001:
A Space Odyssey" over my objections. My attorney informs me that you hold the option and, legally. there is little I can do to stop you.
However, I'd like you to know that I own the tapir bone prop from 2001 - the one "Moonwatcher" throws into the sky. If you attempt to make a sequel, I will cram that temur up your ass so far, it will take an as yet undiscovered alien super-intelligence to figure out how to dislodge it. Seriously, don't fuck with me.
Best regards,
Stanley Kubrick

I read IRON MAN EPIC COLLECTION: DOOM. I hope the MCU adapts this story where Iron Man & Dr. Doom travel to the future and meet a teenage King Arthur. RDJ would crush it. The highlight of this book is @johnromita.bsky.social showing up for 1 issue and blowing everyone away with incredible art.

Some incredible art by John Romita Jr. in Iron Man 256, is there anything this guy can't draw?

James Seiji Nadiger * games & comics writer @jamesnadiger.bsky.social · 3d

I read IRON MAN EPIC COLLECTION: RETURN OF THE GHOST. The most interesting thing in this book is "Crash": the 1st computer-generated graphic novel from 1988. It's not great, and it seems like an earlier version of "computers can do art better than artists can" that we're dealing with today

cover art for Iron Man: Crash by Mike Saenz

Tried way too hard to be a grim 80s cyberpunk thing, some stuff is detailed but smudgy and some stuff looks like placeholder assets in a video game

The behind the scenes of how Crash was made was interesting

I read IRON MAN EPIC COLLECTION: STARK WARS. I had never read #ArmorWars until this. (I've also never read "Demon in a Bottle") Barry Windsor-Smith showing up for an issue is always a surprise and a highlight #IronMan

I'm a sucker for a FB Marketplace bargain! Few years back I got a pile of big #IronMan TPBs for $5/each & only now getting to them. First up is IRON MAN EPIC COLLECTION: THE ENEMY WITHIN. This one has some killer done-in-ones by Denny O'Neil and then an arc where Tony relapses and Rhodey takes over.

God I'm so fucking bad at updating this shit. But I read Walking Dead vols 2 through 10 by Robert Kirkman & Charlie Adlard. I'll have to track down the rest of the series one day and finish it off. Have any of you read the whole thing from start to finish? Worth it? #WalkingDead #ImageComics

On this day in 2021, I finished Judgment on PS4. I love all the RGG Studios games and this was a really fun way to explore Kamurocho from outside the usual Yakuza POV, while still being 100% a Yakuza game in terms of melodrama and silliness. #RGGStudios #Yakuza #JudgeEyes #Judgment

Miyazaki survived the bombing of Utsunomiya as a child. His family escaped in a car, but left a neighbor and her daughter behind to save themselves. Miyazaki regrets this, and said this has stayed with him and shaped his film making. He hopes his audience will learn the courage he lacked in 1945.
