Some more fantasy comics goodness for you: I got to have a look at A Mischief of Magpies #1, and ask some questions of the creators.

I try not to be pushy, judgmental, or overly self-righteous about this stuff for a variety of reasons, but if you haven't canceled Spotify yet, today is the day.

Jamie is one of the best. @kierongillen.bsky.social is also one of the best. So this is one of the best.

New newsletter out today with the first part of my interview with Kieron Gillen about DIE: Loaded!

Bendis and Gaydos are about to give us the greatest Dixon Hill story of all time (I hope).

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within.

There isn’t much left to say except that your children will be less well-rounded than you. Less well-read than you. Less intelligent than you. Less able to problem solve than you. Leas worldly than you. Less empathetic. Less equipped. And more helpless. For the first time in living history.

I like Absolute Batman, but it is neither the best Absolute book nor the best Batman book that DC is currently publishing.

A new newsletter went out yesterday. It includes me pondering the thematic connective tissue between three Scott Snyder series from the past few years: Clear, Wildfire, and White Boat. www.weirdcitymedia.com/white-boat-s...

I still remember listening to (my definitely legally purchased copy of) GOOD APOLLO for the first time while sitting at my computer in my college dorm room, and "Welcome Home" blowing my socks off, and now it's turning 20? brb, I need to swallow some ibuprofen, check my cholesterol, and take a nap.

12 years later, the "Dark Solas Theme" from Dragon Age: Inquisition - Trespasser is still capable of giving me goosebumps.

So now, for what was supposed to be the first thing I wrote for @weirdcitymedia.com, this post, laying out a bit of how I got here and some of my hopes going forward. If you've subscribed (have you?), it should be in your inbox. If not, you can find it here:

I didn't plan for this to be my first post on @weirdcitymedia.com, but it seemed like something worth commenting on, so I did. "Batman and the Case of the Possibly AI-Generated Synopsis" should now be in your inbox if you've already subscribed, or available here if you're not:

New from @jamielovett.bsky.social

People online, be normal about Christopher Nolan's THE ODYSSEY movie challenge.

Quite a thing to be reading in the United States in the year 2026.

Reminds me, does anyone know if the Star Wars manga book Dark Horse crowdfunded actually reprinted the manga, or just sketches from the manga and stuff? I found the whole campaign very confusing because on one hand it'd be like "It's back!" but it was also labeled and art book.

Eric Dane played him in The Last Stand and we narrowly dodged the James Franco bullet but still.

Since it's Star Wars Day, here are 4 Star Wars comic book series I highly recommend.

New engagement bait post prompt just dropped.

Star Wars fans born after the Special Editions were released are about to be absolutely dumbfounded.

Hello, folks! We're going to try something here, and we think you'll like it. Sign up, and stay tuned!

Alien vs. Mickey Mouse vs. Predator.

Helllllll yeah.

When Julien Baker does some high-pitched background wailing on a screamo track.

The Mandalorian and Grogu is about to be the Moana 2 of Star Wars movies.

I like this order, but it also reminded me that the "Machete Order" was a thing for a long time, and that was garbage. Going from ESB to the prequels is madness.

I am "woke up this morning and cannot put weight on my right leg without severe knee pain for no apparent reason" years old.

A book, a song, a film, and a show that changed my world

Welp...

Anakin Skywalker, comic shop owner: "Would you like to add any of DC's Absolute comics to your pull list, Master?" Obi-Wan Kenobi, comic reader who misses the simple optimism of the Silver Age: "Only Siths deal in Absolutes."

Losing my mind over the Buffy reboot pilot being set during "Vampire Weekend."

I'm going to need to see ticket prices, but an all-killer, no-filler, legitimate NJPW (not NJoA Strong) show on US soil? I might need to take a trip to Chicago in July.

I know I'm probably putting more thought into Forbidden Door just by posting this than anyone at AEW will all year, especially RE: NJPW involvement, but I really hope this builds Gabe vs. Tsuji for the Global Title to pay off that unresolved story (assuming Tusji still has it by then).

From winning a Pulitzer to near bankruptcy in 3 years, AI really is amazing.

Love this Robin costume.

VOLTRON: LEGENDARY DEFENDER COMPLETE SERIES HOME MEDIA RELEASE... ME: *audibly gasps* ...ON DVD AND ONLY DVD. ME:...wut?

Man, remember when Cyclops painted a literal target (X) on his face and dared MFers to take their shot? I wish we could get that guy back because this paranoid, defeatist guy sucks.

I don't know that we need more live-action LOTR at all, but that we're doing it all, and it's not just the slam dunk that would be an old-school, episodic, Xena-ass show about Aragorn's pre-Fellowship adventure in Rohan and Gondor as Thorongil shows how far we have fallen as a society.

You, a fool: The Bride! is Joker for women. Me, an intellectual: The Bride! is The Crow (1994) for women.

Dark Horse is getting the Valiant treatment.

I see the trailer for DC's Surfboard Dracula Corps show leaked.

Top 10 DC faves, off the cuff: Batman from Batman TAS/Batman Adventures Damian Wayne as written by Grant Morrison and only as written by Grant Morrison Superboy (Kon-El) Barbara Gordon Tim Drake Superman Kyle Rayner Green Arrow Animal Man Captain Marvel

This is neat. I really wish it were X-Men-focused so we could get some of those lost handheld games back, alongside the Genesis games, like with the TMNT collection, but I know the license bounced around quite a bit, so that's unlikely. Ah, well.

An underrated album you should all listen to right now: jennyowenyoungs.bandcamp.com/album/avalan...

Eraserhead. Brilliant outsider art. Never again.
