And everyone who's seen Lovers Rock suddenly gets the urge to watch again.

Last repost: The first year or so of Milestone's original Static series remain some of the best superhero comics of the past half-century. It's a sin that they're not recommended reading for any- and everyone interested in the history of the genre.

Why Static? Because Miles Morales owes Virgil Hawkins EVERYTHING. Virgil is the Dorothy Dandrige to Miles' Marylin Monroe. Because at the end of the day, Miles' creators were white and Virgil's were black and where they are in comics and animation has everything to do with that.

The budget for BACKROOMS? $10 million. Thursday night box office? $10.4 million. Yes, it only took one night.

BREAKING: we just won our Kennedy Center case! Both the renaming & the closure of the Kennedy Center are enjoined Kudos to our wonderful client @repbeatty.bsky.social & my colleagues @democracydefendersaction.org & Washington Litigation Group This is a 1-2 punch against Trump's corruption

Paramount+ wanted to use the image on the left as a poster for the wrath of Khan, so they used everyone's least favorite technology to generate the rest of the image.

I would be remiss not to point out that "Tricking Milli Vanilli into performing a concert for a dictator" is LITERALLY a storyline from the 1990s 'Super Mario Bros 3' cartoon 🙃

This whole thing really is the perfect way to celebrate The USA's 250th birthday in current times.

A “Right to Know Who’s Policing You” ordinance from Portland City Councilor Sameer Kanal passed 8-4 Wednesday, May 27. Here's everything you need to know about the new law enforcement mask ban in Portland ⬇️

I can't decide now if it'd be funnier if Vanilla Ice also announced he's not doing it or if he ended up the only one left on the bill

really enjoyed your joke reply! sure, it was identical to 8 other ones, but yours was the one that finally got me to laugh

In the past six months I've written a 110 page film, a 54 page pilot and a 25 page format along with probably another hundred or so pages of miscellaneous bullshit both in support of those projects and other, for money, all on hard deadlines, without AI. This used to be called "being a writer."

Having the national anniversary concert dwindle down to “only Milli Vanilli” is perfectly in line with America’s karma 2026

"Online rancor."

I bought my little niece this Paddington Bear toy which talks when you squeeze it, but now my sister's dog has got hold of it and is savaging it ruthlessly while it says things like 'I wonder what adventures I shall have today!' and 'I'm your friend!'

Yes, Marvel put out some great superhero comics in the seventies, but almost by accident. Instead of overblown and operatic, it was something else. Something grubbier. And then they tapped the horror vein. Though with Man-Thing, it became something else. More existential, humanist, weird fiction.

Tried to look into the Eisners kerfluffle about AI and—

I’ll be discussing the Eisner noms from my office.

I just want to warn you that if our Jimmy Olsen book wins this, I am going to thank everyone on the cover

A vote for Jimmy Olsen is a vote for Chaos with Steve Lieber

It’s her day

Having all the cards is, famously, not the goal in Uno.

Paywalls have done a lot to ruin the experience of the new internet.

Priceless post from the official White House social media

Well this cant be realllloh lord it is.

ChatGPT: you’re right you’re so much smarter than him. He’s so schlubby and you’re so suave. Columbo will never catch you.

Everybody in the creative industries is waiting with looming dread to find out whether the next economic crash will be a "people are spending more on entertainment for escapism" crash or a "people aren't spending anything on anything" crash

Gather round grandpappy’s knee, children, as I tell you of a forgotten, sepia-toned, mist-shrouded time known as 2009 when those of us who wrote on the internet strived to craft a punchy lede and then wrote a preview of what would follow if readers clicked to read more. The “After the Jump” era.

was once New Amsterdam.

Did we enjoy always being the ones to report on industry creeps? No, but someone had to fuckin do it

One of the comments to this is like “of all the things to be mad about, not being able to get a credit card is low down the list” and y’all being able to leave shitty men is so important and cannot be done without money.

“all’s well that ends well” mmm no i don’t think that’s true

Two weeks to remove him. Now.

Yeah so he is just going to keep doing the thing where we are in a constant state of uncertainty, confusion, stress, and tension because that is what abusive people do and the people who are in a position to address this are asleep at the switch.

"open the fuckin' strait you crazy bastards"-- "a whole civilization will die tonight" -- "j/k" we can't do this for another 3 years

OK, I couldn't help it because I used to work in MSM, and the sanewashing is a strong impulse. (I did this for Nuzzi's book, too, remember?) Here's what I'd change about Trump's unhinged post. Also: Hire me to edit your non-crazy stuff!

Really tired and frustrated watching folks talk about how a nuclear strike or its destructive equivalent to Iran would endanger Americans. people are people. Iranian children are just as vulnerable and just as beloved as ours. Iranians have as many dreams and hopes and gifts as we do.

Even by the late 80s comics were parodying the grim and gritty trend, so Ultimatum is "we've redone Miracleman 15 from the classic story 'don't redo Miracleman 15'", twenty years on. And even on those terms, it fails - Jeph Loeb and David Finch aren't actually good ultraviolence peddlers

Oh great they stole that too

Happy Trans Day of Visibility ❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️

Oh no, Sam Kieth. I had the unbelievable good fortune to work with Sam early in my editorial career and was blown away by both his bottomless creativity and the depths of his kindness and gentle heart. I’ve never met a nicer person in this business.

Sam Kieth did not bend for comics. Comics bent to him. I won't call his manner of drawing merely a style because that implies some level of artifice. Maybe not since Kirby had mainstream comics seen an artist with less filter between his imagination and the printed page.

Some more Gil Rigoulet.

Thread on mentorship and some things you as comics creators can do to share your good fortune with others in your field.

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.
