"We fight to win. That means we lose, and lose, and lose, and lose until we're ready. All you know now is how much you hate. You bank that. You hide that. You keep it alive until you know what to do with it." - Luthen Rael

But when we crave power over life—endless wealth, unassailable safety, immortality—then desire becomes greed. And if knowledge allies itself to that greed, then comes evil. Then the balance of the world is swayed, and ruin weighs heavy in the scale.

Thank you to everyone who picked up CASEY JONES #1 today. Here's a little tease of what's to come. www.ign.com/articles/tmn...

Some news: yesterday was my last at Rolling Stone. For now, I'm going solo, doing all my TV reviewing, recapping, etc., at my newsletter. I hope you'll consider subscribing. Many more details here:

Hey, y'all! The final order cutoff for this book is MONDAY the 22nd, so please do let your local comic shop know you want it! (It's gonna be fanfreakingtastic btw) comicshoplocator.com

More tomorrow, but now might be a very good time to consider subscribing to What’s Alan Watching? alansepinwall.ghost.io

It’s worth noting that I’m pursuing freelance design full-time. If any cool people want to make cool stuff – comics or pop culture or otherwise – hit me up! I do good work and I have nice hair.

A visual history of the awesomeness of the matte painting. For 120 years of filmmaking, sets and extras have been faked in post instead of being filmed practically, for logistics, schedule and budget purposes. Matte painters are still on the credits of modern films. Talent remains, tools change.

I don’t think One Battle After Another can be over-hyped. You’re going to hear alot of what sounds like awards season hyperbole about it, but it’s not - the movie is undeniable, it really is that good. And it’s a big funny entertaining action movie, but also much more. I can’t wait to see it again.

Oh hey, I'm talking with a 🐐 on SKTCHD today, as @javierrodriguez.bsky.social and I dug deep in conversation about a bunch of pages from the first arc of Absolute Martian Manhunter and the decisions he made on each.

60 years ago, a Marvel legend was born. Today, I dig into what's made STILT-MAN such a lasting figure, as I talked to creators like @mattfraction.bsky.social, @gerryduggan.bsky.social, @blumjordan.bsky.social, and beyond about what's fueled the character's rise to such dizzying heights.

The most important comics article ever? YES* The passion that @davidharper.bsky.social has for Stilt-Man is infectious -- and is a touchstone for what makes comics so much fun. Happy Birthday, Stilt-Man! *IMO

Here is the Scavenger umbilical “slorping” power from the Enterprise. A beautiful example of art dept, set dec, lighting, motion graphics, playback, and spfx working in synch to create a stunning practical effect. Our crew are all artists. #StrangeNewWorlds #TheSehlatWhoAteItsTail
