I have an essay that was just published as part of our Race/Related newsletter. It includes a shout out to Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez who came thisclose this morning to proving I'm capable of human emotion. Don't ever do that again, Edgardo! Nunca mas!

I feel I’m having a mini-comic con this week!

@phillipkjohnson.bsky.social and his wonderful family were in NYC and I got to meet up with them today.

Up, up and away!

I love you, print!

My piece on the journalistic ethics of Clark and Lois hit the paper today. #Superman

Yo! I’d love to feel connected with the comics community again. I miss Twitter for that. Instagram feels kinda clunky for it and I haven’t quite accepted BlueSky or Threads into my life — waiting to see if anyone dominates, I guess.

To me, my nerds!

Do I know folks who primarily buy digital comics? How were you impacted by Amazon taking over Comixology and the changes that came in its wake?

I remember there was a big outcry 2 years ago. I’m wondering if there were any improvements or if folks have other options.

Thanks!

I purchased my first original art cover! By the tremendously talented @yanickpaquette.bsky.social who said I partially inspired it. Also note Clark’s notepad: “Call George.” Many thanks, Yanick!

To me, my LSH nerds! I seem to recall an ad for a 30th century beer — Klordny? — during the 5YL run. Am I nuts? Anyone know what issue?

Well, hello there @kurtbusiek Just ran into this while checking out issues of the FF drawn by George Perez. I love that the Marvel app includes some letter pages and house ads.

Happy 30th birthday to my first byline in the NYT! I could not have done it without my colleague Michael Cooper, who showed me how to put the piece together. The clip and the photo (from 12/94) are in a frame at the Gustines compound.

My appearance in Daredevil is 7! Many thanks to @charlessoule.bsky.social and Stefano Landini. Happy to say I own the spread these panels were on!

Justice League Unlimited No. 1 — out tomorrow — by @markwaid.bsky.social and Dan Mora & @tamrabonvillain.bsky.social is all kinds of excellent. I never realized this was the JLA I wanted. Also: Dan Mora should draw a Who’s Who 2025 so we get his amazing take on everyone.

Agreed. I think the cover was drawn before the sexy Warworld harness storyline from @phillipkjohnson.bsky.social

The latest Kryptonian fashion.

My fellow jurors already know I’m a geek thanks to my wearing a couple of Christmas sweaters but this will cement it tomorrow.

“More pudge than muscle” was my nickname in elementary school. And junior high. And high school. And … I vaguely remember toy versions of these “Super Jrs.” The DC Style Guide is a delight!

I don’t know when I first heard of this gem, but I’ve been dying to get it in my hands. I got to see a real copy when I visited Paul Levitz once for a story many years back. #NerdGoals

I don’t think I ever shared my bio comic with @tonywolfness.bsky.social that was published in @thebeliever.bsky.social this year. I’ve been trying to write new chapters/essays in between my other work. You can read this one here: www.thebeliever.net/i-was-a-teen...
