It was nice to see Cookie Monster and kindness can still bring smiles.
So have a cookie today. But don't ever have a king.

My fourth short story in @ahoycomicmags.bsky.social - titled "Worst Mom Ever" - is dedicated to my wife Maria and all the superhero moms out there (the title will make more sense if you read it).
Arriving in comic shops Aug. 6 in Ancestral Recall #1.

I was not prepared for how good Challengers of the Unknown by Loeb and Sale was going to be. In hindsight, I should have been. Highly recommended.

Lakeside reading from a week at camp with family.
-Finished DC's Absolute Power and tie-ins
-Read a collection of Alan Moore's Superman stories
-And then dug in deep for amazing The Sheriff of Babylon and 20th Century Men.
It was a good week, both for the books and family memories.

I've never related to Jenny Sparks more than when the Spirit of the 20th Century had to come back and deal with the troubles and realities of the 21st Century in this Jenny Sparks series by @tomking.bsky.social
On her phone too much and going through COVID isolation really got to me.

Finally did a deep dive reading the original The Authority run and some related graphic novels. Can tell what an impact these stories had on modern super teams. And some really unique tales.

The Terrifics was a fun adventure. I didn't realize until I started it how Fantastic Four influenced it was. I liked the first two volumes the best. Bizarro, multiverse and even choose your own adventure stories followed and were absolutely crazy but still fun. "Go, Terrifics, go!"

Also, @tomking.bsky.social, I found two of the short prose stories you did for Valiant but Amazon shows them as not available to buy anymore!

I did not know I needed Santa Claus comics in my life.
Loved reading Klaus by @grantmorrison.bsky.social and Dan Mora at a good time for a tale of Santa being a light in the darkness.
In addition to these panels, there were so many awesome snowy scenes that stood out.

I read 1,100 comic books in 2024.
I'm sure it's no coincidence that I started writing more fiction again this year and sold four short stories to @ahoycomicmags.bsky.social

Love this classic story "The Silent Night of the Batman," where Batman spends Christmas Eve singing carols with GCPD and nothing bad happens in Gotham due to reminders of Batman inspiring people to be good. A much-too-rare example of showing Batman actually positively influencing Gotham.

Batman/Santa Claus: Silent Knight has been such a fun holiday read.
These panels from Silent Knight Returns #2 by @jeffparker.bsky.social & @lukasketner.bsky.social w/ a badass Santa moment & legendary line might be my favorite part far thus far.
And all the times Superman marks out over Santa.

Santa showed up early with advance copies of Archaic #2 from @ahoycomicmags.bsky.social featuring my 2nd short story: "You Good?" & awesome art by Cayetano Valenzuela out Jan. 8.
This story has both dark & fun moments w/ Doctor Forbore, who medically treats heroes, villains & victims in the field.

Something unexpected happened next: My daughters started getting really into the Funkos - opening them & setting them up every year & playing w/ them - acting out adventures to marriages & Christmas parties. We expanded to Christmas movie Funkos & more. A family tradition was born.

It started w/ Superman.
Then a few years ago, a few other Justice League holiday Funkos. I never bought Funkos before, but Christmas superheroes seemed like a limited enough category that I wouldn't go too crazy.
Then, this happened.

Now finished reading - Batman Noel. Very creative use of the Christmas Carol tale told through Batman's life. Did feel the story and comparison lacked a bit in a few spots. Amazing art more than made up for it.
