Random memory: I remember being on a bus for a school trip when one of my friends held up the 1st pop top can of soda any of us had ever seen. We'd only had pull tabs. I remember him drawing everyone's attention. He said "THIS is the future." And popped the top. And his soda sprayed all over him.

The 5th episode of ST: STARFLEET ACADEMY is my favorite so far. That was some good Trek! I think it took the Pilot and 2nd episode to set all the pieces to where they needed to be. And I know that can feel like "homework" to watch as a viewer... But Episodes 3, 4, & 5 have been great. I'm all in.

The staffer story/excuse is to give members of the GOP a talking point for why they're not condemning Trump.

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Yesterday one of my short stories saw print and another was reprinted in a collection. I LOVE telling short stories. It uses a different set of muscles than you normal use telling a full issue or a multi-part arc. It forces you to boil everything down to character + premise. Get in, get out. 1/

My take: It's because the Eagles could only fly into Mordor AFTER the One Ring was destroyed and Sauron was defeated. That's why.

Out Now: SUPERMAN CHAINS OF LOVE #1 This issue has a 10pg backup by me & Rosi Kämpe. I'm really proud of this one. It's the best script I've turned into DC in over 20 years. FANTASTIC FOUR FANFARE tpb This one has a fun 10pg THING story I did with one of my all-time favorite artists, Marcos Martin!

When interviewing Trump's cabinet members, reporters should loudly say, "Siri, upload all the Epstein Files to (name of server)." You never know. It's worth a shot.

Sleep is a form of time travel.

The only renovation that venue needs is to get 5 letters removed from its name. Attendance would skyrocket 100,000%.

He's right. He's probably not getting into Heaven.

The people who review bombed CAPTAIN MARVEL and the people who review boosted MELANIA is a perfect circle.

Imagine what FoxNews would be doing with the released Epstein files 24 hours a day if Biden, Harris, or Obama were in them.

A blog post from 2013 extolling the joys of working with Sal Buscema. www.jmdematteis.com/2013/01/the-...

Exhibit 1: Tom Homan is accused of being bribed with a bag filled with $50K. Exhibit 2: Tom Homan is being sent to Minneapolis. Exhibit 3: The signing bonus to become an ICE agent is $50K. Dude, it's all right there. Tom Homan's going to be an ICE agent. The math checks out.

Just a few hours after celebrating Sal B's birthday, I got the news that Sal has passed away. An enormous loss for our industry and for all of us who knew and worked with him. Safe journeys, Sal. We'll miss you.

Sal Buscema, beloved comics artist, passes away Sal Buscema, a veteran comics artist and part of the famed Buscema family of Marvel artists, has passed away. He was 89 years old when he died on Friday, and the news broke today, on what would have been his 90th birthday.

Incroyable!

The 70 year old protestor is Greg Ketter of DreamHaven Books. As kids we grew up reading comics with our favorite heroes fighting Nazis, fascists and evil corporate billionaires. This is in our blood. dreamhavenbooks.com

Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"

Comics retailing legend Greg Ketter standing up to ICE in Minneapolis. Yes, that's tear gas. He's 70 years old.

Walz: "I don't care if you are conservative are flying a Donald Trump flag, a libertarian 'Don't Treat on Me,' a Democratic Socialist -- this an inflection point. If we cannot all agree that the smearing of a citizen and besmirching everything they stood for -- someone has to be accountable."

Alex Pretti was already restrained when federal agents shot and killed him in Minneapolis, a New York Times analysis of video shows. The footage contradicts the Department of Homeland Security’s account of the shooting.

Sorry for posting this, because it's disturbing, but it is important that we can all see this crucial moment. There is no disputing this order of events: Pretti was disarmed (of the holstered weapon that he had a permit to carry). And THEN he was murdered by ICE.

How can you not feel for his parents at this time? Their son was a good man and this administration is trying to vilify him. We should all be grateful to the brave people who kept filming what took place, from multiple angles, so that all of us could be witnesses to what actually happened.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

"Videos of the encounter contradict the federal government's description of the incident." -NY Times Really? There's a faster, easier, and more honest way to say that, @nytimes.com. Try again.

They should not be allowed to wear masks. Police don't wear masks. National Guard don't wear masks. No one ever makes the argument that Police or National Guard could be "doxxed". ICE should be identifiable so that if they are filmed committing atrocities those specific ICE agents can be identified.

Astounding #Minneapolis #ICEOUT #ICEOUTMN

I’m so proud of Minnesota. I understand why some people belittle protests as not enough, but I really think this shit matters. I saw a clip on Fox News and they had to admit thousands of people showed up. It’s not going to stop Trump, but it’s a signal to your neighbors that they’re not alone.

WHO removing Us Flag

Not really a spoiler if you haven't read the issue yet, but this panel of SUPERMAN UNLIMITED #9, with art by Mike Norton, colors by Marcelo Maiolo, and letters by Dave Sharpe, makes me unbelievably happy.

Got a big comic book announcement coming tomorrow...

We got to talk about the fact that the first target for this is a Black woman which a lot of people in the terminally online world we know these comms staffers (and others) inhabit represent a particular archetype of person who needs to be “humbled.”

Today I'll be going over final lettering for an issue of Superman Unlimited. Along w/ shorts for the Summer of Superman Special & Superman Chains of Love, that'll be: 12 Superman stories for DC out the door. 1 drawn that I need to script. And 1 being drawn as we speak. Never imagined I'd be here.😀

The Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution states, “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation..."

If this is accurate, Good was killed by a bullet fired after there was any conceivable argument Agent Ross was in the path of her vehicle, which means there was no legal justification for using deadly force. But DOJ says there’s no reason to investigate. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/21/u...

How can some people still not tell who the bad guys are in all of this? I'm sure a lot of them are either disingenuous or bots from outside the U.S. who are just trying to stir the pot.

Out Today: SUPERMAN UNLIMTED #9! The introduction of an all-new and incredibly deadly Prankster! (Yeah, that's right. The Prankster. But deadly. Trust me. You'll love it!)

I read better in Spanish. Especially when Supes rolls his R's. "¡Es MI PERRO!"

The Prankster is a forgotten Superman foe from way back & in Superman Unlimited 9 he's back with a whole new angle. Fighting Superman directly is not part of the plan, but with so much Kryptonite around the DCU now, if it happens it may not be a deal breaker. Sample the series with this one & enjoy!
