If Moore and Gibbons made WATCHMEN today, they wouldn't use the Doomsday Clock as a motif. They'd use Polymarket's odds-on favorite.

It’s kind of a love song! All the monsters enjoying each other's company, dancing…holding their evil in check

Is this the return of the black-and-white boom? Call it the app-and-eBay boom.

If Dan Crenshaw loses his primary tonight, don’t be surprised if he gets a primetime show on the post-Ellison CNN. He’s in that Bari Weiss “sweet spot” of media-friendly conservatives. The ones that tell you that they don’t like Trump…but they just happen to like everything he likes.

If Crenshaw loses he needs to apologize to Pete Davidson

Rock music lost something when it shifted away from danceability, b/c that meant it shifted away from sex. And Corgan was part of that shift. Corgan is talented but SP never had a sexy song. They could have if Billy let someone else sing "Ava Adore" but he's too much of an egomaniac to do that.

The CIA responded with, "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness should've been a single album."

This weekend I’ll be at @emeraldcitycon.bsky.social artist alley table L-08. I’ll be taking commissions at the show, will have original art from BATMAN/GREEN ARROW/THE QUESTION: ARCADIA and I’ll be selling this new TWIN PEAKS print.

The Arch Deluxe did not last long, but it did give us one of the worst ad campaigns of all time.

when max landis took over the morrisoncon film panel to argue with james gunn about whether or not the boys was a superhero story for the entire hour i did not realize i was watching the 15 year early prelude of the fight for dc comics in 2026

Just learned that Tatjana Wood died recently at age 99. Her colors on things like Morrison/Truog's Animal Man, Simonson's Orion, the O'Neill/Cowan Question, and the Moore/Bissette/Everyone Else Swamp Thing left its marks on me when I was young and impressionable. A major, unsung comics legend.

How soon will people start referring to Hollywood as "Ellison Wonderland" and how soon will they then receive a subpoena from Harlan Ellison's estate?

Well I for one am optimistic about the merged Paramount/Warner Brothers, which insiders say will be named Porno Brothers

Sit and listen while the fun begins

Hearts are broken and the bad guys win

You sit and listen all the cuttin' up was easy

And it's sizzlin' for the queasy or the weak of heart

Oh, you had better start

Oh, what is the time?

Rich loser sons absolutely ascendant. Grim stuff

Today, we celebrate the 39th anniversary of SUICIDE SQUAD #1 hitting the stands.

DC published all of these in February 1987. What a time.

For free: auto blow, never sucked

Today's Supreme Court ruling may be shocking to some, but not to those who have heard the rumors about Chief Justice Roberts's addiction to Jaffa Cakes.

Last weekend I worked on something really cool with @gabrielhardman.bsky.social and a lot of other incredible folks. A strange piece of comic book history was brought to life. Stay tuned!

A STATEMENT FROM HIS MAJESTY THE KING Hey guys, it's Charles. I just wanted to take a second to talk about something that happened in the news today. So it came out that a prominent male, a celebrity, was accused of some pretty horrific sexual abuse and emotional abuse over a long period of time. And I just wanted to take this opportunity to say that I never liked him and I wasn't surprised. I didn't know anything about these crimes before today, but when I saw them today, I said, “Hmm, I'm not surprised.” And that makes me very, very good for never having liked him and for not being surprised. That's why I want to focus on here and that's the message I want to get out there, is not the crimes themselves and their horrificness and not the voice of women and believing women and the women who accused him of the crimes, but the fact that I never liked him and I wasn't surprised. So thanks for listening. It wasn't easy for me to talk about this, but I appreciate your support.Charles R.

King Charles has issued a statement to ABC News following his brother Andrew’s arrest

Guess it's time to reset the "138,714 Days Since Last Arrest" sign that sits outside Buckingham Palace.

Something very cool is happening. I cannot wait to share it with you all.

A talking Harlan Figure that comes with three phrases, all criticizing the produced version of "The City on the Edge of Forever."

I still think about Gene Shalit’s praise for Roberts De Niro and Duvall in TRUE CONFESSIONS.

An amazing performer who built a truly great body of work. You know how good Duvall was because he could appear onscreen for just a few moments, and yet he still made a major impact. He was the best actor to cast for a small but pivotal role, as in TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD and THE CONVERSATION.

A giant loss: Robert Duvall is gone. An extraordinary artist who was fluent in every dialect of film acting, from ice-cold underplayer (The Godfather) to expert naturalist (Tender Mercies, The Apostle) to balls-to-the-wall maniac (Apocalypse Now). One of our all-timers. Plunge into that filmography.

It's a trip to find X-Men supporting characters that Claremont first introduced in other books. Sabretooth started as a bootlegger that antagonized Iron Fist. Deathbird was fighting Carol Danvers and hanging out with MODOK

"What this country needs is another Rally to Restore Sanity."

They probably predicted this would do great. But their crystal ball ain't so crystal clear.

Ha ha, just joking folks. I’m still here. In reality, the headline was about the continuing hellscape that is our existence
