This can open a path to continue the Owl House story, fill in lost gaps, and tell some meaningful stories that we couldn't in the show. Also, Eda can say "damn" now.

King never considered what it means to be a Titan. Burdened by the fact that he will outlive his beloved Owl House family, he’s still determined to enjoy every moment. Even if that means using one of the Collector’s devices to wipe away his sad memories.

Very kind of you to ask! As far as resids for our team go, I don't think it matters either way, but generally avoid amazon, ask for it in your local comic shops/book stores, and request it for your local libraries (if you're so inclined) when it's out!

I certainly won’t make a show w them anytime soon, but publishing is a different (and slow moving) branch and this has been in the works pre-KOG.
I’ll also never tell ppl to stop pirating TOH or criticizing their harmful practices. 🏴☠️ I always hope things can improve, though.

This would've been such an amazing movie. I had the honor to peep it sometime last year and it was very moving and exciting. Sony passed on something great BUT I hear Matt has some other news to share soon so... Something else to look forward to!
Matt Braly has shared never-before-seen development artwork from his canceled feature film at Sony Pictures Animation.
The project centered on a young boy who embarks on an emotional journey into a fantastical realm of Thai spirits, hoping to find a cure for his illness.

This happened today and is a big story more news outlets should be reporting on but of course they aren't
Today is the day. Right now hundreds of Minnesota businesses and institutions are shut down. Thousands of people are refusing to work. There’s a massive picket at the airport. Minnesota’s resistance to ICE today is changing the tenor our fight against fascism.

Happy 25th anniversary to Rainer Maria’s truly timeless gem A Better Version of Me! It holds up exceptionally well thanks to Caithlin De Marrais’ soaring voice, her diaristic and relatable words and the emotional, aching melodies. I love this band and this album is key to why.

Boycott Heaven is an immaculate return for @theformat.com. This album has them going the hardest and lean into their emo side more than they ever did before, but at its core there’s still a lot of heart and charm that makes it just as effective as the band’s classics. So glad they’re back. ❤️

I have my first ever meeting with The Alternative tomorrow on Zoom! Really stoked to be discussing our plans for the site this year but I’m also kinda nervous as I’m still dealing with some stupid flu aftereffects that have been varying and coming and going
Please wish me luck 🙏
