Doug Marcaida's LINEAGE #2-4 Action Thriller Comic Book TPB Finish this series from edged-weapon specialist & Filipino martial artist DOUG MARCAIDA of History Channel’s "Forged in Fire".

We’re halfway to our #Kickstarter goal! I’m co-writing a #Filipino Action/thriller comic book and we need help funding the rest of the 4 issue series! The comic is called LINEAGE, and it’s been a blast to work on!

I found out today is National Banana Bread Day, and I had a few overripe bananas, so I obviously had to make banana bread. 🍌

Thank You, Captain A 10-year-old reflection on Kirk Hinrich, the Chicago Bulls, and my basketball fandom

Ten years ago, the #Bulls traded Kirk Hinrich, and it made me so very sad, but it led me to write one of my favorite pieces I've ever composed.

In honor of that anniversary, I reshared the piece on my Substack: wijangco12.substack.com/p/thank-you-...

Not-so-happy ten-year anniversary of the Bulls trading Kirk Hinrich for a second time and breaking my heart again! πŸ’”

From Agent Carter to Agents of SHIELD, Daniel Sousa has one of the best stories in Marvel Television When Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. incorporated Agent Carter’s Daniel Sousa into its seventh season, the character became part of an elite group of individuals in the

I love Daniel Sousa so much that I could write a 20-page paper about him, but I settled for a 1600-word article.

For @bamsmackpow.bsky.social, I wrote about Sousa, his character development, and and how #AgentsofSHIELD carried over his narrative from #AgentCarter: bamsmackpow.com/agent-carter...

Did I use Enver Gjokaj's birthday as an excuse to rewatch all the #AgentsofSHIELD episodes with Daniel Sousa? Of course I did.

Being a Bulls fan means being sad that Ayo is gone, mad that the Bulls didn't get a better return for him, but happy that he gets to play for a team that can actually achieve success.

The MCU has wasted Sharon Carter’s potential β€œThe Carter name has always been synonymous with service and trust.” That line from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier refers to all the work Peggy Carter had do

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier ended five years ago, and I'm still annoyed we've yet to see Sharon Carter in a live action #MCU project since then.

There's a lot to enjoy about #WonderMan, and the bromance between Simon Williams and Trevor Slattery is just the start.

Agent Carter remains one of Marvel’s most underrated projects Steve Rogers crashes the Valkyrie into the ice in 1945 and is presumed to be dead. Peggy Carter eventually goes on to become the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Howard

I've been doing an #AgentCarter anniversary rewatch, so, naturally, I decided I needed to write about the show, too. And no, I didn't just write 1200-plus words about how much I love Daniel Sousa. πŸ˜…

Thank you. I'd already assumed the company didn't want to hire me considering six months had passed since I applied with no response, but it would've been nice to not end the year with yet another job rejection!

I finished #TheCopenhagenTest, and I really enjoyed itβ€”enough to deem it one of my favorites of the year!

It's a riveting spy thriller with great characterization. Simu Liu was fantastic, Melissa Barrera was amazing, and Sinclair Daniel was terrific. A fun way to end 2025!

My Year in Live Theatre: Musicals I Watched in 2025 In an ideal world, 2025 would have been filled with more theaterβ€”mostly from the NYC birthday trip that my sister and I had planned to take. But life often did not work out in my favor in 2025. Now th...

2025 has been very far from what I hoped it would be for various reasons, including the live theatre I watched. But, looking back, I'm really grateful to have seen the musicals I did this year.

Avengers: Doomsday needs to prioritize Sam Wilson’s Captain America Regardless of who else is in Avengers: Doomsday, the movie should give Sam Wilson his well-deserved time to shine as Captain America β€” just like Steve Rogers.

I wouldn't be me if I didn't write about Steve Rogers's return in #AvengersDoomsday and what it could mean for Sam Wilson.

I'm not going to lie. I couldn't help but smile and tear up when I saw Steve in the #AvengersDoomsday trailer. Do I have some concerns? Yes. But I'm not going to get too worried right now because of a teaser trailer.

The other night, I had a dream that I met Simu Liu. Then, I woke up to the news that Simu is going to be making his Broadway debut. Typically, my delusional fangirl self would think that means that I'll see him in Oh, Mary! and meet him, too. But I'm broke and unemployed, so that's not happening. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­

The long wait for Shang-Chi’s MCU return remains a disappointment Marvel has faced much criticism during the Multiverse Saga, and the overdue return of Shang-Chi is one of its biggest issues.

#Shang-Chi quickly became one of my favorites when his movie came out in 2021. By the time we see him in live action again, it will have been more than five years.

Why this Captain America comic series is more important than ever The United States of Captain America miniseries from Marvel Comics is a worthwhile read that showcases the Captain America legacy through diversity and unity.

The United States of Captain America will always be one of my favorite comic runsβ€”and I'm not just saying that because it gave me a Filipina American Cap in Arielle Agbayani. πŸ‡΅πŸ‡­
