But he also draws Batman as horror. The train scene is so fantastic. Mitch needs to do a full horror black label book. I plead. I beg. Have you see that man draw Pyg? Glory!

For a long time, I was a “Put Joker on the shelf” person. But I realize Joker should never be on a shelf. He should only be given to writers and artists who take him to the extremes of any direction. King and Gerads “The Winning Card” is pure Joker. @mitchgerads.bsky.social draws Joker as horror.

I haven’t been posting it here much but I’ve been reading every appearance of the Joker in a completely whimsy fueled reading order. Decided as a huge clown guy, it was time. Turns out thought that it was meant to be.

I saw this and was moved to just write a bit of an unhinged press release. I’m not sorry I’m built different.

Every shot, word, and note of the score is pitch-perfect in creating a satirical picture of the world's horrors and the monsters within.

I need more time to gather my thoughts for a review of #OneBattleAfterAnother, but I can say with absolute certainty that it is the best film of the year. PTA's characters are unmatched in film. Sean Penn is razor sharp, shifting from terrifying to the most pathetic man alive.

Sometimes you're scrolling YouTube and you see a video that just makes you think " @danthemcmahon.bsky.social must be made aware of this...unless maybe they somehow sponsored or created it?" 🤔🤔🤔

I have tried all of the the Angry Orchard thriller pack in order to try the Jason Universe tie in. Each and every one tastes like corn syrup, vinegar, and fruit flavoring. I am going to drink all of them in the hopes I get to meet Jason though.

All I wanted was to channel all this pain into something that helped someone else struggling with a parent feel seen. I don’t like feeling like I hurt for no reason. So to everyone who has read it, shared it, liked it… thank you. I was scared shitless to share. Still am.

I hoped one person would read this but the out pour of response has been… a lot. I’ve had people reach out who I haven’t spoken to in years, people I never knew followed my work, and so many wonderful interactions from readers. It means the world to me.
