I'm sure that there are more productive things I could be doing with my Sunday afternoon, but I'm strongly considering just rearranging the DVD shelves in my closet and then start rereading Groo the Wanderer from the beginning on the couch...

I was intrigued by the trailer I saw for Dust Bunny, and even more so when I read that it was written and directed by Bryan Fuller, but even so I wasn't prepared for how much I would enjoy it. Watched it last night and LOVED it. Best to go in knowing as little as possible, but well worth your time.

Dust Bunny is on HBO Max and it’s super cute and Bryan Fuller deserved his directorial debut to be see widely. We talked about it a bit: www.avclub.com/bryan-fuller...

It’s probably just because I’m up too late and need sleep, but I can’t stop giggling at this

It's been just over ten years since @mikemignola.bsky.social and I first start talking about introducing "steampunk science guys" into the world of Hellboy, and I'm thrilled to be teaming up with the amazingly talented @christophermitten.bsky.social once again for their first solo outing!

I'm going to have to surrender my nerd credentials, because I made it halfway through that trailer waiting for Karl Urban to show up before I remembered that Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat were two different things...

Not sure what it says about me that I'm a middle aged guy and yet most of my favorite shows and movies available on Netflix end up in the "Watch Together for Older Kids" recommended list...

I was today year's old when I learned that the "Bible verse" that Jules recites in Pulp Fiction is actually a quote from the opening of a Sonny Chiba flick: www.filmbuffonline.com/FBOLNewsreel...

I do much of my collaboration with artists by email, threaded conversations that go on for months if not years under the same subject line, which results in some of the coolest stuff in my inbox arriving under headings like "Thoughts," "Something New," or "Is this still your best email?"

We've been working on this since January, but today's the day! We are now an official business sponsor of @hollywoodtheatre.org, and starting tonight our slide will be part of their preshow fun at every screening. Onward! #comics #community

A new comic from @schweizercomics.bsky.social is always a cause for celebration, but a fantasy adventure that you can read for free, right this very minute? What are you waiting for?!

I haven't been back to SDCC since before the pandemic, and even then I was only going every few years. There are things about the convention that I miss, especially the friends that I only saw there, but the good stuff was getting increasingly lost in the shuffle as time went on.

the craziest thing I've read all year is this theory that 2 "continents" that used to be on Theia are now buried deep under our feet astrobiology.com/2023/11/myst...

Outlaw's Apprentice starts tomorrow morning! www.patreon.com/c/ChrisSchwe...

the irony of having a one-on-one HR layoff meeting in the conference room with my Loki mural on it

Sorry everyone, my wife asked me to delete the thread because it got too big. I'll let you know the next steps we take, if any. Fuck Target, Fuck Self Checkout, and Fuck AI though. We're exploring options with the lawyer.

I was today years old when I learned that many entries in the Fiend Folio I have on my shelf were written by Charles Stross (and the monsters in them his creations), who was still a teenager when the book was first published in 1979.

Comic lettering 101...

We watched the new Hulu original Pizza Movie over the weekend, and it was a lot of fun. Far better than it had any right to be, and I laughed out loud more often than I have at any movie in a while. Good dumb fun and well worth 100 minutes of your life.

And I’m happy to say that your purchases from our etsy store underwrite the Helioscope mentorship program, allowing us to pay a stipend to our mentees to work on their own projects. It’s been something we’ve wanted for years and we’re finally in a position to do it.

Simon is a fantastic letterer. If you've enjoyed THE HUNGER AND THE DUSK, you've been treated to some of his wonderful work. It's very scary that somebody who is this good at their job and well-liked in the industry is struggling to find gigs.

BTW, if you mainly buy your kids graphic novels at a comic book shop, it looks like AMELIA SHADOWS AND THE NEW HEAD GHOST is going to hit a lot of the comic shop's shelves this Wednesday, April 15th. Just... you know... so you know.

Lovely more academic-minded thread about Absolute Wonder Woman. 🖤 [Beware of spoilers for the first volume].

I have a habit of getting into things (games, books, shows, movies) long after everyone else has moved on, leaving me perpetually out of step. Like, I got OBSESSED with the Dishonored games a few years ago, and replayed all three multiple times, but have yet to talk to anyone else who played them.

It may be that I am just easily confused, but I don't understand reporting that I'm seeing about predictions about opening weekend box office numbers for movies that don't open for more than a month and for which tickets haven't yet gone on sale...

Working on a pull quote for a press release about a forthcoming Hellboy-related project, and found the email thread from ten years ago (almost to the day) when we first started to cook up these characters. They've appeared here and there in supporting roles, but this will be their first solo outing.

Any good comic docs on YouTube drop em in replies. Here’s a bunch.

I was struck by how much the Artemis II return reminded of archival footage of Apollo splashdowns, and I realized that all of the NASA missions that I remembered from childhood onwards were flown on space shuttles that just landed on runways like regular old airplanes.

Clapped and cheered outloud when Artemis II successfully splashed down, watching the NASA coverage with my son. Having lived through Challenger and Columbia, liftoffs and landings both make me anxious. But science is awesome, and we just watched people go to the fucking moon and back!

I'm still learning that it's possible for me to LOVE a comic book or novel series from a creator and then completely not vibe at all with anything else that they have made, which has happened to me more than once in the last few years, and with creators responsible for some of my recent favorites.

I almost slept on this awesome new comic from @davidfwalker.bsky.social and company, the Monster of Blackenstyne, but thankfully there's still time to get in on the action, so go check it out and consider backing it! www.kickstarter.com/projects/dfw...

This week's mock-up comic cover from Paul McCaffrey, to tie in with my out-in-May novel Model Actress Whatever, introduces Ghost Lantern Girl ... who opened a cupboard and found herself semi-possessed by ghosts who lend her the skills they cultivated in their lives.

Was just trying to remember the name of the monkey puppet character who appeared in commercials and music videos in the late 90s and early 00s, and surprised myself by landing on the right answer in a matter of seconds. But it took a visit to YouTube to confirm that yes, I was thinking of Flat Eric.

I've had the soundtrack to Frieren: Beyond Journey's End on heavy rotation while I work for the last couple of years, but now that I'm rewatching the series for the first time in ages I have to keep reminding myself why this anime sounds like me sitting alone in a room trying to work out a plot...

Admittedly, the news of the day is pretty grim and the outlook may be bleak, but all the same I just remembered that I have enough leftovers in the fridge to have tacos again tonight, so things aren't all bad.

Today is a good day to remember that Carl Sagan was as outspoken about the dangers of war and nuclear weapons as he was an advocate of space exploration.

One of the problems with people not sharing things with attribution, AI etc is that we (rightly) don’t trust things that are real. This picture is making the rounds today and I’ve seen multiple ppl say it is fake. It isn’t!!!! www.nasa.gov/solar-system...

Spent a couple of hours today at a car dealership while my car was being serviced, and there are few places I find more relaxing than a waiting area where nothing is expected of me, with nothing to do but lose myself in a paperback book I've brought along.

I really appreciated this video by Kihana Wilson (who is not on Bluesky, alas) about the mixed feelings of #Artemis II. Follow her on Instagram (www.instagram.com/the_astro_st...) if you're over there!

My new thing is to liberate comics in my collection from their short boxes for a while and give them a spin on the spinner rack in my living room, and I’m liking the look of this month’s choices.

The Artemis II crew proposed naming a moon crater after Commander Reid Wiseman’s late wife Carroll, who lost her life to cancer 😭

I just started rereading the Frieren manga from the beginning (having previously made it up to volume 5), but now I'm tempted to rewatch season 1 of the anime before starting season 2, and I don't know that my brain could handle navigating two versions of the same story at the same time...

In my excitement about the impending debut of the Witch Hat Atelier anime on Crunchyroll I'd somehow completely overlooked the fact that they already have the second season of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End available to stream in its entirety.

Y'all there is a woman and a black man circling the moon and NASA's mission control+ science teams are so diverse and people are nerding out about science and exploration this is all a gigantic middle finger to the stupid and hate and grotesque ghouls running our country

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.
