I am wearing headphones in a complete other room of our condo yet I can still hear @adamreck.bsky.social becoming extremely agitated while describing a drawing of Wolverine on his podcast, which sounds like a dig but actually this passion is very relatable.

Nightcrawler's love of antiques? 🤔🤔🤔

I'm often a self-deprecating fan of The Who, like they only have one studio album that's mostly good all the way thru & clearly aren't as impactful as the Stones, Beatles etc., but then I re-watch live vids & become absolutely, unashamedly convinced that they are obviously the best band of all time

Comics studies folks—the submission window for the Comics Studies Society prizes is now open! See below for prize categories and submission details here: comicsstudies.org/prizes/

Didn't pick up anything too obscure at the record sale today, but hey records are fun

I'm like man I can't just watch Miami Vice all afternoon but then the next episode comes on and it starts with a slow motion beachside roller skating sequence scored by The Who's Baba O'Reily and also Little Richard is there being a sidewalk preacher so I guess I need to keep watching Miami Vice

These were some of our most shared articles at CXF in 2025. First, from @wordsfromapenn.com, it's an essay about the cancellation of the Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur TV show comicsxf.com/2025/03/23/m...

Nightcrawler is supposed to remind me to drink more water this year, he better not let me down

We promised to follow up on the end of Age of Doug! Starting with our thoughts on the finale, we’ll have more thoughts at noon.

Just read the following sentences in a comics studies book from 2024: "Following the general conventions of the field, the writer will be treated as the primary 'artist' behind the work. When appropriate, the illustrator will be noted." Please stop doing this. Make it a New Year's resolution!

In which I'm a lil' stinker by opining, "DC is publishing comics and Marvel is publishing content."

The @comicsxf.com team looks back on the geeky resolutions we made in January, and considers how we did. From @austingorton.bsky.social @adamreck.bsky.social @annapeppard.bsky.social @danielpgrote.bsky.social @mattlaz1013.bsky.social @scottredmond.bsky.social and me! comicsxf.com/2025/12/29/f...

Relatable

Some pretty Gene Colan pinups from Daredevil Annual #1 😈❤️

For Xmas, my sister made me a quilt inspired by old Sierra adventure games, she is a good sister

It sure is

We're on a holiday break! Returning December 27. Have a safe and happy holiday!

I'm pretty sure slash fiction was one of the first things I encountered when tween me got online in the late 90s but apparently lots of people have never heard of it so am I weird or are they weird 🤔🤔🤔

Academic books will be like, my brave refusal to define my subject or methodology is a radical deconstruction of the exclusionary logics of hegemonic cultural production, which is fine but sometimes clearly explaining your subject and methodology can be cool and smart too.

Inside of you there are two rats and both rats want bagel

Ah the look of love

The Monstrous Feminine in Junji Ito’s “Frankenstein” [2 of 3] Jack Halberstam argues that in Shelley’s novel, the female Creature is especially threatening because she represents "[...] a monstrosity linked to femininity, female sexuality, and female powers of reproduction….”

Terrific Horrific Perspectives in Junji Ito’s “Frankenstein” [2 of 3] Symbolism contributes to this horrific atmosphere. In this opening sequence, close-ups on the Creature's monstrously gooey eyes are juxtaposed with views of the lonely Arctic where Victor will die.

More of you should go read me & @adamreck.bsky.social's report from the #Heathcliff beat! "A devoted fanbase earnestly paid tribute to an oftentimes baffling yet sometimes surrealistically sublime comic about an orange cat who is definitely not Garfield but does love ham and his local wig store."

I'm at this right now and Peter Gallagher just said "Heathcliff is definitely a New Jersey cat"

Hooked up a record player for the first time in a long time. Only have like 10 records left in my collection after too many moves but there's a few gooduns.

The @comicsxf.com team's chat about what's not working and why with the X-Men's latest dystopian crossover very much underscored why I haven't been reading it, including: "A sharper, tighter focus on something that actually matters and tracks could have done this event a world of good." #XMen

Our unit of threads on Junji Ito's "Frankenstein" is over but not forgotten! Here's a snapshot of what we covered, starting with: An Introduction to Junji Ito’s “Frankenstein." 1/5 #Frankenstein #ComicsStudies #JunjiIto bsky.app/profile/sequ...
