Huge thanks for all the love for C.O.R.T. #1 from readers and reviewers. A creator-owned like this needs YOU to spread the word. Thanks, too, to everyone who grabbed Detective Comics #1100. And great to see our Nightwing Omnibus on the bestseller lists (buy from your local comic shop, if you can).
People get upset when superhero comics follow basic real life history but that’s the genre. Captain America can’t kill Hitler because Hitler was real and in reality, Hitler died by his own hand in 1945. If you want to explore alternate history, superheroes are just not that genre
We could be 5 to 10 years from toothpaste that can regrow tooth enamel. The scales are beginning to tip in favor of Mars once sustaining life. We’ll potentially know for sure by 2040. The blue macaw is up to 160 individuals from an all-time low of 7, and confirmed to be breeding in the wild.
The most controversial thing I’ve ever said on here is that a bland unfunny standup was bland and unfunny. I deleted it because the Correct Opinion Havers showed up in force. Here’s a promise, from me to you: I will never tell you your opinion on a matter of art is wrong. It baffles me.
The Shadow magazine, cover dated September 15, 1939. This issue featured the first appearance of the Shadow’s archenemy, Shiwan Khan. Cover art by Graves Gladney. And yeah, it leaned heavily into the “Yellow Peril” trope still common in the early to mid 20th century.

"I don't care that he's dead." "He's not a hero." "He's a scumbag." "He shouldn't be celebrated." No, no. I'm not saying that about Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk said that about George Floyd. Just in case anyone's interested in what he thought was fair to say about someone who was killed on camera.
I love seeing classic films on the big screen. In the last few years I've seen Metropolis, Dracula, Frankenstein, The Bride of Frankenstein, The Mummy, Casablanca, The Thin Man, Double Indemnity, The Apartment, North By Northwest, To Catch a Thief, The Planet of the Apes, Young Frankenstein, & more.
A friend of mine has been talking all year about how once the regime kicked out all the immigrants, they'd realize how much damage it did to the country and start canceling passports to force Americans abroad to come home to make up the difference. I thought it he was being a conspiracy theorist.
Some new eBay auctions: Index card drawings of Milk & Cheese and Ironjaw from the Eltingville pilot. Production art from the pilot, character designs for Angel and Devil Joe. And a couple of books from my collection I'm hoping to sell. Feel free to take a look: tinyurl.com/ckd2xj3p
"Captain Henry is a Victorian-era soldier of fortune who is first thrust into a parallel world ghostrealm, then plunged into another dimension where 1,000 years of time travelers have been trapped in an eternal graveyard..." Bruce Zick on @fanbasepress.bsky.social: fanbasepress.com/press/interv...
I am beginning to see a trend that I don’t like Some people are printing manga on slick/coated paper. Please don’t. I have yet to see the day that black and white comics look preferable on shiny paper. In my experience, black and white linework has always looked better on matte paper
Searching my Patreon to find material for a book intro I'm writing, came across a long, rambling, written at 7 a.m. post about my early career with Dark Horse Comics. And how a behavioral clause was almost written into my Predator: Big Game contract in 1991. The fabled beer-spitting incident. D'oh.
