I don't know where the 200+ followers came from, but hello.

I'm Lan, a professional writer where you can find me at GameSpot and writing comics--with an upcoming OGN from @madcavestudios.bsky.social that I can't wait to show you.

You can see my work at BOOM!, Image, and Healocked, to name a few.

Brett has been designing some seriously fun Joe fan merch with old card art. I had suggested Slice n Dice since he already had one of them, but you gotta keep them together.

Check out his stuff!

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

This might be the worst ICE video yet, because it’s literally random dudes hanging around, and then a bunch of heavily armed thugs running them down completely out of nowhere, because they’re brown. It’s a nightmare that would have seemed excessive in Jim Crow. Everyone in America should see this.

Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · 22h

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

Brett has been talking about this figure for *months*. Check out our hands-on look tomorrow.

Brett White @brettwhite.bsky.social · 1d

PYTHONA! Worth the wait. Just a killer figure, from the top of her topknot to the tip of her cape. Every accessory a keeper. Damn close to perfect. Review on @popheist.com tomorrow, ahead of her big NYCC debut.
