A friend and I finally watched KPOP DEMON HUNTERS last night, then turned our attention to our seasonal pumpkin-carving today. We may have felt inspired. #MovieSky #Kpop #Halloween

I attended Atlanta's #NoKings march yesterday with @dzgrizzle.bsky.social and his boyfriend Michael. We saw @warnock.senate.gov and @staceyabrams.com speak, which was unexpected and cool.

I left feeling energized, but also obligated. Our country's sliding into fascism. We must act. #StopFascism

Just finished this 2022 biography of MLK—and it is excellent. It manages the rather miraculous trick of being less than 1/3rd the size of Taylor Branch’s authoritative work and still feeling more holistic. Highly recommended.

A very late Happy New Comic Books Day—my last! 😢 I’ve canceled my subs in advance of my move and will sell what I’ve collected. But I’ll still follow series online.

Great final week. I got ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN 20, ABSOLUTE MARTIAN MANHUNTER 6, and ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN 11. 👍

Happy Brand New Comic Day! Batman’s the theme again, this go-round—I got ABSOLUTE BATMAN no. 11 (prob’ly the most *fun* comic I read each month) and BATMAN & ROBIN: YEAR ONE no. 10. Happy reading!

Happy New Comic Book Day. Haven’t been sharing recently, but hey, it’s a new THE POWER FANTASY issue. Best book on the market, for my money. Second TPB comes out next month.

Happy Brand New Comic Day. I grabbed ABSOLUTE MARTIAN MANHUNTER no. 5 and ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN no. 10. Just spectacular art in both of these.

Today is the day that my first professionally published short story, “Laufey’s Son,” comes out in Flame Tree Press’s LOKI anthology—and as Fate would have it, my contributor’s copies came this morning, too.

This is a good day.

Happy Brand New Comic Book Day. Just the one for me: BATMAN & ROBIN: YEAR ONE no. 8. Like every issue in the series, it’s diverting rather than gripping, a light and meaningless adventure elevated by Samnee’s art—and that’ll do, but it could’ve been more.

Late to post, but wow, what a great week for comics. I got ABSOLUTE MARTIAN MANHUNTER 3, ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN 8, ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN 17, and THE POWER FANTASY 9 to read all on the same day. It doesn’t get much better than that.

A belated #NCBD to y’all! I got BATMAN AND ROBIN: YEAR ONE 7, by Mark Waid and Chris Samnee.

By now it’s clear this book’s just about Samnee’s art and giving us cute scenes of Bruce, Dick, and Alfred learning to live together. But I’m fine with that! 🙂

There are other 2025 releases I’m looking forward to but this is the one that springs to kind. S’been far too long since we’ve had a new @joe-hill.bsky.social novel. #Booksky #books #fiction

It’s another Brand New Comics Day! I got ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN no. 16, which is the only Marvel series I’m currently buying in print—and as usual, the book is thoroughly enjoyable. Recommended.

It’s a pretty great week for comics, really. I got ARCANA ROYALE 1 (of 4) on a whim and quite enjoyed it, and also ABSOLUTE MARTIAN MANHUNTER 2, ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN 7, and THE POWER FANTASY 8 ‘cuz as everyone knows, they’re the latest issues of some of the best series coming out. #WeReadsComics

Half of 'em are A24 films, which tracks. But my favorite of the four is THE NICE GUYS, which I've watched twice now. What a fun flick. #LastFourWatched #Filmsky #MovieSky #Movies
Covers of last four movies I watched: A DIFFERENT MAN, LONGLEGS, HERETIC, and THE NICE GUYS.
