I may have come up with a fun idea for a new video series (likely on Patreon) that I'm very excited about

Wishing all my friends and colleagues a fun time at NYCC!

I'm very sad I can't be there this year, but I hope everyone has a blast.

Dear YouTube: It's bad enough I have to compete with AI slop, but to have the platform accuse the channel of being anything other than human generated is insulting. SBP is written, edited AND narrated by a single human. Do better.

There are also a lot of similarities and parallels between this story and All-Star Superman (both in how it depicts grief and death in the fictional world, and the context behind Starlin and Morrison's inspirations for writing them).

This is the first time I've read The Death of Captain Marvel in maybe a decade, and I forgot just how powerful it is. A beautiful, poignant meditation on grief and the inevitability of death, which was such a stark departure from how death was depicted in comics at the time.
