My current #WIP is set in Hazel Branch, NC, USA, a small town in the high mountains of Appalachia. It's a modern-day queer cosmic horror novel called THE COME BACK KIDS.

We are in such a great era for people writing these sorts of books. Most people are online and setting up interviews is easier than ever.

Like when I get ready to write the definitive book on the history of Superman and Lois in about ten to fifteen years…

Saw this and the first thing I thought was, “When did Andreas Katsulas play Bizarro?”

That’s a really weird way to say that the law enforcement in your state is not up to the task and instead of trying to fix that you want to ask daddy to send his friends to do their job for them.

I never want to hear a Republican talk about states rights ever again. Because it was always a lie.

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry: "Tonight, we're sending the Department of War a request to send the National Guard, asking them to deploy the National Guard here in Louisiana into our cities like New Orleans and Baton Rogue and others."

Joshua Lapin-Bertone was nice enough to ask my opinion on this. This is the 5th or 6th time that a news outlet has referred to me as a Superman expert or historian. When I get to ten I’ll be shown the secret handshake to finally get to interview Mark Waid.

The fractured factions of DC's Superman fandom, from the "civil war" ignited by Zack Snyder's Man of Steel and the forgotten '80s ignition point

There’s nothing Superman fans hate more than other Superman fans

There was one that came out of a magazine that was two sided.

Also, I think this was an alternate image from the one that came as a poster in Superman #75.

Is that the one that has a Swannish looking image on the back?

Shockingly it was Moench.

One of my pet peeves when it comes to comics is when characters talk about things as if that thing isn’t established fact in their world.

This is from Cataclsym. Dick says this to Batman as if both of them were not on teams with people that are from, in some form, Atlantis.

Finally deleted X (the artist formally known as Twitter) from my phone. I won’t be going back. If you message me there you can start doing so here.

This is not to be read as dramatic or anything. I just decided it was time to go.

Let the silliness continue.

Bailey’s Batman Podcast has risen from the grave. Don’t call it a comeback, because I can’t handle the pressure. Anyway, the show is back and I’m talking Batman all on my lonesome. Listen to find out what I’ll be doing in the months to come.

So Jimmy kimmel’s show has been taken off the air indefinitely because of what he said regarding Charlie Kirk’s death.

He should have worked for Fox News. There you get to say terrible things all of the time &the only reason you get fired is because of litigation.

Welcome to McCarthyism 2.0.

One of my favorite things about this audio drama is that the male narrator, Richard Rohan (also the director of the drama) also played Batman and the Joker and nailed both of them. 2/2

After listening to @gregrucka.com on Word Balloon I not only downloaded a bunch of his Batman comics I’ve picked up over the years on my iPad, I decided that I wanted to revisit this as well.

It’s really the best of both worlds. Rucka’s words & Graphic Audio’s fantastic production values. 1/

It’s back…with a new mandate and an actual (some would say realistic) monthly release schedule.

Official launch happens the first Monday in October.

Special episode coming this Saturday for Batman Day!

Bought it when it came out. It’s pretty good. I prefer Anderson’s Enemies and Allies novel but this is a solid read.

Thank you so much for this. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Podcasting’s Michael Bailey @fobpodcasts.bsky.social · 27d

I’ve heard that. He’s always come across that way in interviews.

Podcasting’s Michael Bailey @fobpodcasts.bsky.social · 27d

Just wrapped up recording the November epiaodes of Overlooked Dark Knight with @apleyland.bsky.social & we covered a recent @gregrucka.com story, which led to Andy telling me that he was on Word Balloon recently. So that’s what I’m listening to right now.

I apparently used my mediocre photoshop skills to make this years ago and it makes me chuckle.

I can be kind of funny from time to time.
