As someone who is notable across a number of music communities as a songwriter, drummer, emcee, critic, etc. (& very opinionated) I am considering breaking down both the TURNING POINT USA & OFFICIAL HALFTIME SHOWS from this year. Those who know know that I am BEN*JAM. You have been warned.

Looks like @nirvanacomics.bsky.social will have plenty of goodies for me this Wednesday. @marvelentertainment.tumblr.com.web.brid.gy @idwpublishing.com @badideahello.bsky.social @heatherantos.bsky.social @ericlarsonart.bsky.social @robertvenditti.bsky.social

I keep getting notifications about all of the people who're looking up REVIVAL COMIC SHOP (INSIDE T CUP EXPRESSO) on GoogleMaps. Please let people in/around East Tennessee know that we're here. *Talks about a Comic Event are beginning. www.google.com/maps/dir//Re...

Please consider signing up to receive notifications about “OZ: AN EMERALD NIGHTMARE #2” by RESOLUTE BLISS PUBLISHING. www.kickstarter.com/projects/158...

I have a bitter disdain for scammers. Also, yes, my books are brilliant & would translate gloriously into films, streaming series, etc. If @amazonmgmstudios.bsky.social @amazonprime.bsky.social ever did want to play ball, I'd enjoy having a sit down to discuss it with them.

Look, I’ve not seen this movie, but I’d like to challenge everyone to do something. Please, look up what these specific reviewers said about your most hated/loathsome movies & reply what they said about them. It’d just be interesting. Again, how do they review your most hated?

I just got a new comic to try from @imagecomics.com. The streaming show is supposed to be out soon. I think it’ll fit my tastes.

Some people are going crazy hating on Starfleet Academy for rage bait, so I addressed the argument that they're too stupid to see. *The progression of Star Trek mirrors Gene Roddenberry (its creator) leaving the Southern Baptist Church at 14 & embracing agnosticism + secular-humanism.

Yay!!!

As an graphic artist, comic book writer/creator who praises @dcoffical.bsky.social often, I'm going to offer the criticism that I don't feel like this CLAYFACE logo gives off the right vibe, or not one that appeals to me. It's like how I'd write FELIX THE CAT, not a tragic monster.

Rumors are circulating about @jamesgunn.bsky.social & @ssnyder1835.bsky.social ultra-violent @dcoffical.bsky.social collaboration. 😉

Doors are opening. Good things are happening. Comic pros, shops, & readers are quietly lining up in full-support. I'm thankful & working hard. *More news later...

We watched the first episode of STAR FLEET ACADEMY on Paramount+. It was a very nice pilot episode (free btw), with a number of likable characters, good action, etc. It follows DISCOVERY. Also, it’s good to have the Emergency Medical Hologram Doctor from VOYAGER back. @startrek.bsky.social

Hellfire #4 by B.L. Blankenship is in the works. #comics #comicart #graphicnovel #inking

Just used this comment on a post. Thought of making my own post. Every day I'm reading the news I see some monstruosity being done or said. Humanity is in fast downward spiral towards involution and eternal damnation. For those who believe. For non believers, damnation doesn't care what you think.

B.L. Blankenship's "Hellfire" #3 is almost done! #comics #graphicnovel #comicart

The magic when depth steps in... 🤩 From B.L. Blankenship's Hellfire #1, coming soon! #comics #graphicnovel #shading #blankenship #Ishook #blackandwhite

Detail from a panel for B.L. Blankenship's Hellfire series. No reference, just went with memory and imagination. I believe today's comics rely too much on reference; they have become too photographic to me. Just my personal taste. #comics #graphicnovel #marvel #dc #artistforhire

We just finished eating at New China Palace. This was the message inside of my fortune cookie. Clearly, this is from The Lord! *I receive this word. 😇

QUESTION: Did the original SUPERMAN VS. AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (from the 1970s) say “AMERICAN WAY” on this 16th page, or was it always like this?

Dark Horse Comics is hiring a vice president. comics-jobs.com/jobs/2026-01...

...I feel like the HELLFIRE #4 cover art is coming along nicely.

Today on my front porch arrived GASP! #0, GASP! #1, & BRIDES #1 + a GASP! lapel pin, bookmarks, & stickers. All of these comics are from ResoluteBliss.com. These Knoxville Area creators books are also available at @nirvanacomics.bsky.social & possibly other shops?
