This looks awesome!

Theo is trying his best to ignore the antediluvian cosmic horror of Shuma-Gorath. The lazy apathy of a cat vs the madness-inducing horror of a Lovecraftian elder god…I’ve got 20 bucks on Theo.

Okay. Well, I wrote Spider-Man. And because of the fact that I wrote Spider-Man, I’m also going to do a mail-in ballot.

Interview and preview of CIVIL WAR UNMASKED #1 by me, Edgar Salazar, Morry Hollowell, and awesome covers by Geoff Shaw, Paulo Siqueira and Steve McNiven! www.marvel.com/articles/com...

I came up with Aunt May’s catchphrase for the Spidey video game. Tickled pink it’s become cross-media canon! (Okay, I didn’t really come up with it, I stole and rephrased it from the Jews. Relax, it’s not like I get residuals.)

TFW you get thrown out the club for being a giant rodent

I felt various events derailed books I liked in the 90s, so when I wrote Avengers Academy I planned long term storylines where the event itself was incidental. For example: “the kids go to war”. The nuts & bolts of the event don’t matter, we’re dealing with the kids facing war & how they react.

Just because I’m in a salty mood today.

I try to read an article. It's covered by a Cookie notification. I try to pick only essential cookies but it's longer than most of my contracts. My will broken, I try to accept whatever invasion of privacy they want to inflict on me but the banner doesn't go away. I will never read an article again

Dear @conroyforreal.bsky.social please pass on my compliments to the team behind Brutal Dark, my favorite of the Vertigo launches so far. Beautiful art perfectly suited to the time period. And the Greek was accurate! I’m really looking forward to where this goes.

This is a really thoughtful and thorough examination of the philosophical ideas in my Battleworld miniseries…I think Eric put more thought into it than I did! And he nails what the rest of the creative team brought. Thanks for taking the time, sir, I appreciate it!

True love after 30 years together: my amazing wife Ruth got me new cozy slippers for Valentine’s Day because my old pair was callously devoured by a dire wolf.

Just arrived and out next week, the SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN OMNIBUS Vol. 2! There is so much good stuff in here, including my full SSM run with Mike Hawthorne, some one-shots and the recent SSM series where I re-teamed with Dan Slott! Reserve yours now…the die is cast!!

The CSR (Cost Sharing Reductions) he is talking about were challenged in court and ended by the first Trump admnistration.

We've got a lot of comic book people on here, right? Did I invent the expression "The Devil of Hell's Kitchen" for Daredevil on Season 1 of the TV show, or was it around before in the comics?

Out in May! The collected edition of BATTLEWORLD by me, Marcus To, Rachelle Rosenberg, Travis Lanham, Danny Khazem, and Wil Moss, with covers by Leinil Yu and an all-star guest cast! If you missed the individual issues, do NOT miss this! Oh yeah…we got Crossgen and New Universe characters!!!

Hero Initiative is helping writer Mike W. Barr through a series of health problems. If you'd like to contribute directly to Mike as well, go HERE: www.gofundme.com/f/rally-for-...

So I didn’t even know they’d done one of these covers for the X-Men, but they did, and a certain handsome Greek fellow’s name is on it! (No, not George Michael.) I reckon for my X-Men Legacy run. A great honor, as is the Spidey one. How about more? I’m old, I need validation!

No one appreciates me enough for making sure the original Stilt-Man, Wilbur Day, was resurrected and stayed that way. But it's cool. I don't do it for recognition. Some things you do because it's just the right thing.

In the Black Panther comics, I know “Niganda” is a fictional nation created as a hybrid of Nigeria and Uganda. But if I’m honest, I’ve avoided using it in a script because…well, because I wouldn’t say it out loud. I kind of feel like I’m being silly and yet…I wouldn’t say it out loud. Thoughts?

Turok’s been through it.

Just unleashed a torrent of terrifying barks at the Amazon delivery guy, but by the time Dad got to the door he had made good his escape. 3/10 as ICE dog, would be personally executed by Kristi Noem. 10/10 as a good girl who gives Dad an excuse to take a break from work. 15/10 butthole inspector.

Happy 90th birthday to the great SAL BUSCEMA, artist of ROM, the Hulk, and so many more even I couldn't name them all! Here's to many happy returns!

The Blob is one of my all-time favorite villains, but in 45 years of collecting I’ve never owned this book until now. A Christmas gift from my Mom.

In lieu of the Cone of Shame I give you the Donut of Dignity.

Y’know, I always figured the people who told me I’d regret not having kids were wrong. But I didn’t think they’d be shooting-people-in-the-streets, no-one-can-afford-a-house, weather-apocalypse-of-the-month wrong.

Why so negative, they could’ve been raptured

14 years ago today. The AFC Championship Game at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro. Patriots vs Ravens. Ravens try to send it to overtime in the final seconds, but the field goal kick goes wide left as the ghost of Myra Kraft (who had passed away earlier that year) blocked it.

Out in May! CIVIL WAR: UNMASKED, a five issue miniseries by me, the great Edgar Salazar and original CW colorist Morry Hollowell revealing untold stories from that troubled era! IM! Spidey! Goliath! Tigra! Cap! You may recall a Civil War 1-shot was my first big Marvel gig. Time is a flat circle!

Sad if true. I enjoyed working with Camouflaj on VR Iron Man and Arkham Shadow. They put all they had into making the best game possible, and the reviews reflected it. I hope those affected are quickly hired elsewhere and that someone else picks up the Arkham games! www.geekwire.com/2026/meta-la...

Wow, BATTLEWORLD #5 currently has a 9.2 rating on Comic Book Round Up (sort of the Rotten Tomatoes of comics)! Thanks to all who picked it up, and to the reviewers for the kind words. And if you haven't read it, why not see what all the praise is about?

"Battleworld #5 sticks the landing by choosing heart & ideas over pure spectacle... @christosgage.bsky.social reframes the conflict around empathy, loss, and the complicated desire to change the people we love..." @marcusto.bsky.social #MarvelComics #comicsky Read @davidbrooke.bsky.social's review:

Out TODAY! BATTLEWORLD #5, the epic finale! (This is a lovely variant cover by Mike McKone.) This issue has EVERYTHING! Inter-IP romance! Continuity tampering! I mess up a date in the footnotes! And an honest-to-Flo-Steinberg LETTERS PAGE! Don’t miss it!!

Out tomorrow!

At some point isn’t it time to stop calling it the “Environmental” Protection Agency and change it to something more accurate like the Yacht Protection Agency or something

Out next week!!

The Detectorists Then they did a follow up that was good but kind of undermined the perfection of the finale imho. I kinda wish they’d let it lie. Please no replies discussing Stranger Things which I haven’t seen yet. (This season.)

When you’re delivering return on investment. (I write the DC Dark Legion game. It made 45 and a half million last year.)

Blackhawk by Reed Crandall & Chuck Cuidera. From Modern Comics #57. Blackhawk comics are relatively cheap compared to other Golden Age comics, but they have terrific art, if you can get past the casual racism of the Chop-Chop character.

Really looking forward to this, and if it’s an anthology, I would love to write some. I got to write Bat Lash in Brave & Bold and it was a lot of fun, but Hex has always been my favorite.

Portrait of a dog who was not supposed to be off leash but does not acknowledge any wrongdoing.

The movie Ruth & I wrote, GROW, is just $2.99 to rent on Amazon Prime AND just $10 to buy! Perfect for the whole family to watch over the holidays...see why it's still got a 92% critic and 97% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes! And let us know what you think! www.amazon.com/Grow-John-Mc...

Never chose this way

Russ Heath was not to be trifled with.

Ever notice that the people who feel like they’ve had to apologize for being white are the ones who are total dicks about being white?

I should’ve had Carmine Infantino sign this too. But I did all right.

Still a bit mind blowing that 15 years ago I had a book on the Vertigo hype page with the cool alt kids like Peter Bagge, Sandman, Fables, and Y the Last Man. Chris Samnee, sure. But I’m a superhero comics nerd who likes disco and yacht rock! A fun moment.

God, what have I done? BATTLEWORLD #4, out today!
