Merry Christmas! If you'd like to spend 45 minutes celebrating video game history with me, we're about to debut The Untold Story of the Nintendo Entertainment System. I worked on his ALL YEAR, and I genuinely think it will reshape how we all think about the system. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJvp...

Legends: I'd appreciate any and all signal boosts on this. I've been out of comics a solid while and Event Horizon is a return I wasn't expecting that I'm having an absolute blast on! Today is the last day for shops to get their orders in. If you want a copy, you need to let them know right now.
Want a copy of the EVENT HORIZON prequel comic? Well, TOMORROW is your last opportunity to pre-order the debut issue! Contact your local comic shop ASAP. @cjward.bsky.social @tristansbones.bsky.social @pipmartin.bsky.social @idwpublishing.com
