We’re so happy to be back with our amazing friends at ALA Annual in Chicago! Yesterday marked Day 1, and we kicked it off with our writer pals Gus Moreno, @megfitz89.bsky.social, and @jamesthefourth.bsky.social for some signings, exclusive picks-ups, and most importantly: CHATTING ABOUT BOOKS! YEAH!

i truly cannot grasp the minds of people who watch film or tv adaptations of books they like just hoping to see the page rendered exactly on the screen. a completely alien way of moving through the world

The Kickstarter for Last One Out in Lychford, the final book in the series, is live! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sim...

If you’re in LA, come join us at Q CON at Plummer Park where we will discuss our favorite topic: STAR TREK! Live Long and 60 Years of Spirk 🖖🖖 @tillybridges.bsky.social @susanlbridges.bsky.social @averykaplan.bsky.social @megfitz89.bsky.social @jimmccann2.bsky.social @cartoon-cookie.bsky.social

🏳️‍🌈 JUN 20 I will be at Q CON (with limited stock) to celebrate Pride! AND I’ll be on a Star Trek panel around 5p. If you’re in LA, come hang! 🏳️‍🌈

Hey comics friends, question for you: Is there a (non-Marvel/DC focused, current conversation having) comics podcast that you love? I’m trying to find the ones that are making impact, but the only ones I really know are the ones we’re on 🙃 and I’d love to expand my playlists. RT for visibility?

LOVING ALL THE @whattheshea.bsky.social LOVE ON MY DASH RIGHT NOW WHAT A GOOD NEWS DAY!!!!!!!! 💗💗💗

Happy start of World Cup day folks! Who is everyone rooting for? ⚽

It looks like Amtrak has a train that goes STRAIGHT TO NEW ORLEANS?! I will absolutely be planning this trip. I'm already doing LA -> Chicago this month. And I definitely want to do LA -> Seattle. BUT NOW I KNOW ABOUT LA -> New Orleans!!!!!!

california is gonna have so many mail in ballots that don’t get counted because people don’t know the new USPS rules that are impacting mail in voting. tl;dr don’t put your ballot in the mail today, find a ballot drop box. www.kqed.org/news/1208537...

ICYMI: I’m running a five week writing course in September! Saturdays, over Zoom, at a time that works for both US and UK writers! It’s geared towards anyone with an interest in writing for animation (but writers of all kinds will find it useful) It’s $200 until July 1st; payment plans available!

Enough with the horror comics. It's time for a comedy comics resurgence. It's what the world needs right now.

✨ HAPPY STAR TREK CELEBRATION ANTHOLOGY DAY ✨

"Star Trek Celebrations 2026 spans the breadth of Star Trek canon with a collection of tales spotlighting the franchise's LGBTQ+ characters and the depth of diversity that makes Star Trek an iconic franchise." @idwpublishing.com #comicsky #StarTrek Read @cjwritesstuff.bsky.social's review:

It’s out! My first graphic novel as publisher! Salvation’s Child is a mind-blowing SF saga by @aptshadow.bsky.social a prologue to his Final Architecture series. In association with @comixology.bsky.social www.amazon.co.uk/Final-Archit... 1/3

Bringing up the Novacom Saga of Adventures in Odyssey is like awakening a sleeper agent - most don’t know, BUT IF YOU KNOW, YOU ABSOLUTELY KNOW

Happiest Showdown release day to @davewielgosz.bsky.social !!! It’s a rad book made by rad humans that’s both brutal and personal and I cannot wait to read more!!

Today’s adventures in writing.

Treasure Planet and Josie and the Pussycats (2000) are examples of how art’s emotional (and monetary) influence lasts beyond the box office and the billboards.

Truly the best thing for the CA elections is the fact that we can see exactly who are funding take down ads and MAN does that really help shape my opinion of the candidates. The LAPD doesn't like Nithya Raman? Excellent, I'm even more excited to vote for her.

If you're in the UK and you've been eyeing The Miseducation of Caroline Bingley, maybe this 40% off sale will convince you to pre-order it? Go on, give your future self a little June treat. They deserve it.

I wasn't allowed to watch things as a sheltered kid, but Speed Racer was very important to me -- not only because of the family, but also because of the KIDNAPPING. @peposed.bsky.social (one of the best humans in comics) continues to be one of the great comic writers AND ALSO CARES ABT KIDNAPPING

I am disproportionately excited about the three new stations opening on the D Line in LA TWO MORE DAYS

I mostly don't but I could make room in my schedule to adapt: any David Mitchell novel Piranesi The Westing Game The Locked Tomb. So I guess hire me if someone is trapped/mostly in one place? Fuck, hire me to write a new Cube movie.

-Wayne -Big Bad Beetle Borgs -The Big O -Terriers I CRACKED IT! Once I remembered how deeply I loved the Youtube Red and then Amazon Prime show Wayne and wish it had continued, I knew I had an elite four.

Lie To Me

I have unironically considered looking into whoever currently owns the IP rights to Cyber Six and making a modern adaptation of it with my own style and sensibility. We live in a time, now more than ever, where we need latex clad trans vampires killing nazis.

The Books of Magic Liberty's Kids seaQuest Earth 2

The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis is about an "all-american" teenage boy whose romantic pursuits can be seen as fickle but are really comphet attempts at escaping the realities of his close friendship with the local beatnik

Does anyone else remember The Feeble Files? No? Just me?

I've got a few. Some include incredibly underrated ripoffs, like Death Machine (aka Aliens meets Terminator and Blade Runner). Others include underrated concepts like Project METALBEAST (Cyborg werewolf, people! CYBORG WEREWOLF!!!)

This is a deep cut: Interstellar Pig.

I've always been intrigued by the idea of writing good novel versions of the bad movies featured in MST3K

I would write the shit out of a SLIDERS novel

Deadman!

100% certain that I AM the only one who cares about this one.

I want to write a prestige Apple+ streamer of Martha Grimes' Inspector Jury books with a billion-dollar guest star budget to cast the residents of Long Piddleton

I wanna make a series of graphic novel adaptations of Sondheim shows that you read while listening to the album

A Country Practice continuation. Continuing the original premise of small town shenanigans, romance and overtly progressive politics.

Gimme Supreme. I want it. I deserve it. Warren Ellis CAN'T have the last word. I WON'T LET HIM.

I want to show-run an HBO prestige series written from Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle. I will need ALL the money because I want ALL the guest stars.

I would fuck with the Brazil extended universe any day.

- 1632 - Gloves are coming off. - The Crossing - I have had an embarrassing number of conversations about this topic. - World War Z - HBO series. Non negotiable. - Sliders - duh.

My remake treatment for Ghost slaaaaaaaps.

The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.

WAIT I HAVE ANOTHER ONE, HOW DID I FORGET Sharon Shinn's "Samaria" series where sexy angels and humans fall in love and have political intrigue but also God is a spaceship and the angels pray for intercessions like good weather by singing you'd need the right choral composer to make it work

- ZOIDS (specifically the EU version that had a whole back story and was rad as hell) - WipEout - 6 seasons of antigravity racing drama on Apple TV - The New Accelerator - adapting HG Wells going hard with Victorian bullet-time baby!!

I would, and probably will, write a screenplay to remake the forgotten public domain horror picture Dead Men Walk starring George Zucco

I have an idea for a "Jawbreaker" TV series. It doubles as a vicious parody of "Euphoria."

- THE BOOTH AT THE END - THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR by Anne Rivers Siddons - A prestige period drama about the BTS goings-on at SEAQUEST DSV - A workplace sitcom that takes place at the huge bureaucracy that made the Cube from CUBE
