It's been an interesting few days to say the least... but THE DAKOTA INCIDENT comes out this Wednesday, and I'll be signing with Milestone Co-founder Denys Cowan THIS SATURDAY at The Comic Den in Los Angeles. Let's cap off this month with a celebration for Milestone. ⚡️🚀⚖️⚙️

Finished reading Omar Holmon's "We Were All Someone Else Yesterday: Poems." amzn.to/4keJxFT 📖🖊️ Man oh man this was good, not just what he writes about, but how he writes. Really hope he has more to come. #books #poems #poetry @omarholmon.bsky.social @buttonpoetry.bsky.social #BookSky #PoetrySky

Someone a decade+ younger than I asked me if I saw the Matrix in theaters and how cool that must have been

Yes! Put her in an Exiles book! Becky gave me SUCH anxiety. But like, fun? I kinda miss her...

a very special #throwbackthursday piece for a very special day: our birthday! May 15th, 2024 marked our 10-year anniversary! Today and all this weekend we're celebrating by sharing pieces of us from around the web!! Join us!

Wrote up Jive Poetic bringing slam poetry back to New York Comic-Con. Jive had a bunch of nerds in and out of cosplay reading poems to a packed audience at #NYCC2025. Never thought I'd live to see the day. Photography by @maruneboy.bsky.social

Wrote about the masterclass @suckerpunchprod.bsky.social put on in #GhostofYotei. The juxtaposition of Atsu becoming the onryo while re-discovering her heart + the respect given to the Ainu people and them representing a different path, all had my heart hurt, broken, and full in the best way

This speech never gets old.

I had completely forgotten bearded, internet-addicted Doug existed. This was quite a thing...

Found it

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

I got to chime in for this @npr.org write up on the etymology and evolution of nerd by Joe Hernandez. You can't won't hear it but I had the 'In the air tonight" drum breakdown on repeat for the entirety of the interview out of pure excitement.

That time I was having a great time on a panel lmaooo

Mongolian draw vs modern archery (vs the rest)

Al Ewing is going crazy with Immortal Thor

Since we're talking about the audiobook... Here's a clip of @williamevanswrites.bsky.social and @omarholmon.bsky.social narrating the audio book version of BLACK NERD PROBLEMS:

"Some corners of the SW universe lean heavily on nostalgia, familiar beats, or hero’s journey tropes, Andor took a different path. It gave us something grounded. Something intimate. Something human" The Fire Beneath Ferrix: ‘Andor’ Shows Us What ‘Star Wars’ Always Could Be via @naliaah.bsky.social

Made Silver III for the first time in #MarvelRivals

Hell Yeah!

“I’m dedicated to believing that it’s through coalitions that we’ll win out. There are no more single issues.” Audre Lorde (Black Women Writers at Work, 1983)

The thing with Pedro Pascal is he not only gives a fuck; he knows he's huge enough to spend all day trashing bigots safely because entire franchises are built around him atm. He's no dispensable Gina Carano-tier secondary guy. This also underlines how most famous artists as big as him are cowards.

"These stories let Black characters exist fully-fighting, loving, scheming, surviving- without being reduced to just victims of history..." Screaming Without Shackles: The Rise of Black Horror Beyond Trauma by @naliaah.bsky.social blacknerdproblems.com/screaming-wi...

"In every frame, South of Midnight remembers what so many forget: Black stories are rich, complex, and worth telling with care." - @naliaah.bsky.social @compulsiongames.bsky.social 's South of Midnight: Southern Gothic, Black Storytelling, and a Game That Feels Like Coming Home

"Film buff stuff aside, Ryan Coogler wanted grit in the movie. He wanted an all-encompassing element, an immersive experience..." Review: ‘Sinners’ Takes Us to Church

I love an awkward photo moment (as long as I’m absolutely adorable)

My neighbor is a Palestinian-American college student who works at the local bodega. He's working really hard to afford his tuition, which is in the tens of thousands, & he's at risk of getting kicked out. Can we tell him Happy Holidays? cash.app/$Aeeee19 Pictured: Palestinian artwork he's selling

I got to review the 1st season #DaredevilBornAgain and the show doesn't compromise the storytelling, character development, or violence. Even if you know the comics being adapted, the turns and risks taken are unpredictable in the best way

"A new horror/comedy anime series about adorable threats in a post-apocalyptic world! We’re already living in an actual apocalypse, here’s a fictional one that won’t do me any more harm--" New Trailer for ‘Nyaight of the Living Cat’ Has Us Welcoming the Cutest Apocalypse This Summer

Hey variant cover nerds! Peach Momoko has a bunch of kimono variants out tomorrow, but here are three X-Men variants! NYX 9 featuring Ms. Marvel! Storm 6 featuring...Storm, obvs. Uncanny X-Men 11 featuring Rogue!

old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

He can't! Man I love John Cena to death but you can tell from the man's ears, he ain't got the head shape to pull off a baldy. ... damn I sound like a phrenologist right now but I *promise you* I'm right.

Only one thing left for John Cena to do to truly embrace the heel turn. Gotta shave the head for the baldy. It's time. GIVE'EM FULL BLOWN VILLAIN CENA THE LIKES OF WHICH THEY'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE WITH FINAL BOSS ROCK.

"Everything I love about Gundam: political drama in space & giant robots. Is it as unabashedly gay as its direct predecessor? To be determined. It gives bi-energy..." ‘Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX’ – The Hype is in Fact Porportional to the Number of Us in GQuuuuuuX by @chimericnotion.bsky.social

This man making Avatar Wan the George Wallace* of the Four Nations, I'm =crying= 🤣🤣 *not the cool one

They hate Korra cause she desegregated the Spirit and Human world. Ya girl had to reintroduce integration cause everyone was still rocking with Avatar Wan's, "Segregation now, tomorrow, and forever." speech

"To be honest, Brave New World could have been a sleeper hit for the MCU...it gets bogged down by choices that make the studio seem out of touch with the grounding that made it a sensation for almost two decades" ‘Captain America: Brave New World’ – Review by @truevillainy.bsky.social

Received my copies of The Comics Courier, A New Comics Criticism Journal. A review of a comic I adore by @shanfiction.bsky.social is in here! TY @explodingarrow.bsky.social for putting this project together! It feels sublime to hold a newspaper full of folks all raving about comics in 2025! 🖤

@omarholmon.bsky.social As a REFORMED Cyclops hater, I approve this message! 🤣

Yes, we have millions of followers and social media is great for validation, but not so much for paying bills. Turns out, likes and shares don’t magically turn into rent money.

Incredible peace by @naliaah.bsky.social I love reading about the safe spaces and places where we find and define community via gaming! 🥹

"...But WoW gave me permission to fail and try again without (too much) judgment. In a world where I often felt invisible, WoW reminded me I was capable of great things." For Azeroth and For Me: How ‘World of Warcraft’ Helped Me Find Myself Over 20 Years by @naliaah.bsky.social

To all my Invincible fans, I did a very detailed recap of Season 2 to get your rest for the Season 3 premiere on February 6th! youtu.be/RbgpQ-R3Etk?...

Not sure why HBO Max starts Craig of the Creek with season 4 and why episode 6 of the series finale isn't on the service either. The disrespect for the send off is wild

Yes, "Thursday what a concept" yet we also wanna share some #throwbackthursday vibes on here. "Here are two books that stay on my mind when I think of these visuals that showcased Black liberation and freedom on the page..." Fly Free, Always: Images of Black Freedom in Children’s Books
