This week on Off Panel, @markwaid.bsky.social joins the podcast to talk about his 41+ year career writing comics, how he's managed to make it work, the importance of evolving with comics, the return of Empire over at Zoop, tips for creators, and more.

Folks, @nickdragotta.bsky.social

Magnificent.

Marvel, the long-standing leader of the direct market, has been going through a tough few years. What can be done to fix them? I quizzed folks in a variety of roles around the industry to try and find an answer, and then wrote about the results in this week's feature.

Chip Zdarsky joins me for a CHIP CHAT about the origins of Avengers: Armageddon, the development of a Marvel event, the old AND new characters found within, making an event comic mean something, and more. OH. And we talk about that wild MAD About DC trailer he made, which is a true delight.

Also to say ... solving death with death is ... a move.

I just want to declare my own desires for a regime of different, smarter, less radicalized minds.

Spent the midday at a UVA baseball game.
