They say don't meet your heroes, but "they" never met @markwaid.bsky.social. Nicest guy and despite so much writing and time spent in comics, he is still clearly a fan first and foremost. A class act. It was great to meet him at #MotorCityComicCon.

Just to reiterate, Dark Patterns by @danpgwatters.bsky.social and @cleanlined.bsky.social is the best Batbook in some time. If you haven't read it, get in that Batmobile and see if your LCS still has any copies left.

Was really trying for 'be glad that it happened, not sad that it's ending' with this. Kinda worked up until @cleanlined.bsky.social dropped that Neal Adams homage. Then it's 'damn, I'm not getting any more of this'. Great to see @danpgwatters.bsky.social maintain the stellar writing to the end.

@thetwilightzonepodcast.com Hi Tom, I'm still catching up on your great podcast and I've just listened to your ep on 'Little Girl Lost'. In discussing it, you asked the question about Twilight Zone justice and why would this family be the subject of it. In your musing on that, I think...

@thetwilightzonepodcast.com So for Halloween I'd like to host a mini-marathon - for want of better and far less oxymoronic term - of the original Twilight Zone. Given that it's Halloween, I'm focused on sci-fi and horror eps rather than moral or philosophical eps. Which four episodes would you pick?

Whew! With the eleventh issue of Batman: Dark Patterns, @cleanlined.bsky.social continues his PhD dissertation on visual storytelling. His panel design leads the eye so smoothly yet so stylishly from one panel to the next but each panel is such a feast that you want to stop and take it all in.

@themonstersaredue.bsky.social In Nicole's evaluation of 'A World of His Own', she asked wouldn't the neighbors ask about what happened to Victoria. There's another possibility that wasn't raised during this ep of the podcast that might address that question and many others about this episode...

Hey @20thcenturystudios.bsky.social , I got your next #Predator movie right here. A Predator comes to Earth during the 800-900s, lands among the Vikings but noone notices that he's not a Viking. It's your classic heavily-armed fish-out-of-water-even-though-no-one-realizes-he's-a-fish action comedy.

@thetwilightzonepodcast.com still catching up on the podcast but thank you for posting Serling's speech and Q&A at UCLA in 1966. Very enlightening, and sadly still all too relevant. Maybe we haven't made as much progress as we like to think we have. Maybe it's just that history does rhyme, but...

I was just watching the #Godzilla cartoon from 1978 and now I'm wondering if Captain Carl Majors somehow escaped the two-dimensional universe and changed his name to Jonathan Frakes. 🤔

@themonstersaredue.bsky.social There are five seasons of the Twilight Zone, and you use a five tier grading system for each episode. I'd be interested in seeing you grade each of the five TZ seasons using your tiers but you can use each of the tier grades only once.

Batman 1 was good but I really don't see why it had to be a new #1 or even how it should be counted as a new #1. Same artist as prior to the Hush 2 storyline, and the in-story status quo seems to be largely the same as pre-H2, too. ...
