It's looking pretty likely my son isn't going to have school starting next Tuesday because a bunch of LA school workers are teaming up to do a strike for much-needed pay raises and support. For no reason at all, I'm also including these two images in this post.

You're talking about "mantasy," some ridiculous sales nonsense ginned up to make men feel safe to enjoy things. I'm talking about MANT!, the fake film in Joe Dante's delightful MATINEE. We are not the same. youtu.be/7-brLyrdTyA?...

In the midst of all this chaos, it is truly and honor and a privilege to work on this book with this team. They're really doing some wonderful work here, and I am so thrilled to be a part of it.

This poem is pretty much where my brain's been at the last couple of days.

Doing 5 Calls about Iran madness to feel like I'm doing SOMETHING. Leaving depressed voicemails on my reps' service probably isn't doing much, certainly isn't making me feel any better, but I guess it's something. Shout into the ever-yawning void with me, won't you? 5calls.org/issue/stop-i...

HELL YEAH, I've gotten to chat with David a bit about this book and it sounds incredible. If you're in or around Portland, I bet this event will be cool as hell. Wish I could be there.

I got interviewed by the coolest new comics magazine around!

Just backed this. Really dug the sample story and art, I highly recommend taking a look.

Also, after salivating over all the beautiful art @marclaming.bsky.social has been posting, how could I not back this book. Just look at how gorgeous this is!!! @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/798...

I just posted a bit ago how excited I was to finally get all of @stephenrbissette.bsky.social 's Taboo anthology, now they're Kickstarting a collection of his TYRANT? Better believe I backed it! @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/com...

Hey, you know Frank Miller? One of the main inspirations for Eastman & Laird creating the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? He just did his first-ever official TMNT drawing, and it rules. TMNT #20: The 300th Issue Special is shaping up to be a hell of a thing. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

USPS is "losing money" because people need and use it. The money allocated to it being used so handily does not mean it's broken, it means it's working. This is like saying you need to shut down a food pantry because all the food is gone. No. Wrong. That means you need more food.

This one's gonna be a barnburner! If you love pulpy adventure, put it on that pull list!

Getting to know Flo during my time at Marvel was one of the great joys of my life. Sweet, wry, and hilarious, she was always looking out for those around her. One of the greats.

Always been more of a comics reader than collector, but years 'n years ago I inherited a few copies of @stephenrbissette.bsky.social 's Taboo magazine from a friend and have always wanted the full collection. Finally pulled the trigger and found the missing issues. Great collection of gonzo comics.

I just saw this and can't stop staring at it. @jamesstokoe.bsky.social is such a master! Absolutely incredible piece.

I loved the Angelika film center, even worked there for a summer in college. Had no idea it was actually named after a person. Thanks for creating a haven for independent movies that also allowed a poor college kid to almost entirely live off of popcorn for a summer.

Every time one of these Marc Laming Dan Dare pages shows up in my timeline I stop and stare. Incredible work, absolutely stunning!

Saw this at The Pico last year. Freaking great. Can’t wait to see it at Fringe. June! @jakefromcomics.bsky.social www.hollywoodfringe.org/projects/133...

Late notice, but you should go see this show! I'll be there tonight, I've read the script, it should be a hell of a show!!! Good Girl by Mimi Collins www.eventbrite.com/e/good-girl-...

We're Talking Turts here, people!!! Got a question about TMNT comics??? Submit it to AIPT's TMNT Tuesday and I'll answer!

If you think this looks awesome--and it does, it looks rad as hell--and you haven't seen Orlando, I beg you to watch it. An all-time great movie IMHO, one I will absolutely break a long run of not posting to evangelize about.

I got to read an advanced PDF of this and it rules. "More Nunsploitation!!!" I scream, looking at the outline I did for a movie entitle Nun More Goth that I wrote after working with Kieron a decade go. Tini and Jo made a rad book. Check it out.

This was phenomenal. So glad we were able to see one of the shows. I hope it gets another run.

OH DANG, IT'S NIGHT OF SHOW, YAL!!!! You gonna be there, or you gonna be left out in the cold, crying that you missed the theatrical event of the season? www.bespokeplays.com/home/ticketing

So my daughter is the face of a nationwide Congressional PSA on teenage mental health that launched today. She was chosen based on her advocacy stemming from our @imagecomics.com comic, A HAUNTED GIRL (co-created by her, me, & @marcolorenzana.bsky.social)! sacks-appeal.beehiiv.com/p/from-a-hau...

*Spins chair Youth Minister style* Heard about that Keanu Reeves/Alex Winter WAITING FOR GODOT in NYC? Well, did you know there's a hot NEW play all the cool kids are going to check out next weekend in L.A., WAITING FOR [GAL] GADOT? Don't WAIT, get tix now! www.bespokeplays.com/home/ticketing

Hey! L.A. folks! A reminder: WAITING FOR GAL GADOT, a play I wrote and am acting in, is up for 2 days only next week at the Pico. It is an extremely silly play that actually means the world to me, and I'd love to see you there! www.bespokeplays.com/home/ticketing

This is a cool guy right here with great taste in comics.

I'm doing a play. That I wrote. July 18 & 19. A writer & director sit in a movie star's waiting room. And they wait. And wait. And wait. Using Beckett's classic as a map, WAITING FOR [GAL] GADOT takes on the angst & absurdity of being human in 2025. www.bespokeplays.com/ticketing

Y’all, I’m still struggling. I’m making half what I need for just my basic expenses. I postponed surgery that I was supposed to have on the 3rd because I’m still trying to scrape together rent for next month. I hate asking for help again, but if you got anything to spare, I could use the help.

This looks like a really fun, beautiful comic! Check it out!

It IS beautiful work! Have you picked up your copy? In stores now!!!!

@variety.com: METAL HURLANT Unveils New English-Language Edition on 50th Anniversary as Denis Villeneuve Calls French Sci-Fi Comic Anthology the Source of His ‘Earliest Visual Inspirations’ (EXCLUSIVE) variety.com/2025/film/gl...

Real Metal Hurlant only comes from the @humanoids.com region of France. Everything else is just sparkling dystopian illustrated sci-fi. My story on the legendary mag's triumphant return today at @forbes.com www.forbes.com/sites/robsal...

For @avclub.com, I interviewed Fabrice Giger, the CEO of French publisher Humanoids, about the highly anticipated relaunch of Métal Hurlant, the beloved sci-fi fantasy comic anthology founded by Philippe Druillet, Jean-Pierre Dionnet, and the late, great Jean “Mœbius” Giraud.
