Leaving for NYC in the morning, new Taylor just dropped, still riding the post-ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER high. Other than the persistent horrors feeling pretty good

The only thing weirder than watching the "AI actress" coverage roll out is when I realized its creator was someone I did multiple improv classes with many years ago!!

One of the more fun things I've been working on: the DC K.O. bracket challenge! This was something we were excited to pull off from the start, and I love that an interactive element like this works so well with the story itself. Submit your bracket now: www.dc.com/ko

The battle is about to begin in DC K.O., and it’s time to make your picks in our bracket challenge! Submit your complete DC K.O. bracket before Tuesday, Oct 7 to be entered into the Grand Prize promotion—and pick up DC K.O. #1 by @ssnyder1835.bsky.social and @javifernandez.bsky.social, on sale Oct 8

Who will I see at NYCC??

Did a Wikipedia deep dive on the supporting cast of ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER and discovered that Dan Chariton, who played Comrade Josh, co-wrote the 2003-2004 SILVER SURFER series.

Someone in my neighborhood is doing a Matthau purge.

We’ve been cleared to share it, so we can say we did a variant cover for Absolute Martian Manhunter 7, dropping December 24! The book slaps, we were delighted to be asked to contribute. @denizcamp.bsky.social and @javierrodriguez.bsky.social really have something special with this book.

DC W.I.P.: ABSOLUTE BATMAN #1 is on sale now and look at this thing!! Black and white Nick Dragotta art at 11x17”!! (Banana for scale.)

Absolute Batman 15 December @jockbsky.bsky.social and I tell the story of the Joker, a nightmare re imagined for the Absolute Universe by @nickdragotta.bsky.social and me…. Excited for this one.

At the end of last month I thought to myself, "This year has been pretty rough, but I'm going to focus on what I can control and try to shift that narrative in a more positive direction for the final third of 2025." Results have been mixed so far!!

Just did the Monday NYT crossword in 4:22. Must train harder to get under four minutes.

Got a new little Leuchtturm for my birthday back in June and been carrying it around but the only thing I’ve managed to write in it so far are my star ratings for night 1 of the G1. It’s been that kinda summer.

Honey Don't, but I do—recommend this movie, that is! (I haven't seen it.)

I was genuinely stoked to eat at a Cracker Barrel for the first time a few months back and it was mainly pretty bad. Waffle House lives up to the hype, though.

Today is the last day you can preorder C.o.R.T. - Children of the Round Table from your local comic shop. Don’t miss it. @dinicuolo.bsky.social

Oh shit the great clown Pagliacci is literally going to be in town

Between Michael Ian Black in SUPERMAN and Mather Zickel in FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS, it’s been a great summer for The State and The State-adjacent performers portraying TV news people in superhero movies.

Hello! @shelfdust.bsky.social is a comics website where amazing critics write about any comic they want - sometimes positive, sometimes negative, often both! The site needs support, and I’d love if you could follow it on Bsky; on Wordpress; or even through Patreon if you enjoy it! www.shelfdust.com

This whole time I thought they were saying *Cake Pop* Demon Hunters!!

Thinking about... him.

Nightmare blunt rotation

If you see this, post a DC comics cover you love

/host introducing the musical guest for their second song on SNL voice

So, I was laid off by my job this week after 13 years. Not only that, but it happened as bills from my recent heart attack-related medical visits come due. Because of that, I'm doing a big sale for SKTCHD/Off Panel related things, so now's a good time to subscribe if you can...because I need it!

Superman sure better do a sheer drop avalanche brainbuster on Darkseid in the comic itself

The first DC K.O. details have arrived!!

Seeing the take out there that there are too many Krypto scenes in SUPERMAN. Nice to have a reliable way to recognize sociopaths, people devoid of empathy, those who have never experienced love for another being, etc.

“The son of a tobacco farmer, who, as a young man, worked alongside immigrants during the summers of his youth, and in doing so, learned the value of hard work, collective action, and most importantly, respect for his fellow man.”

The world is engulfed by unprecedented turmoil and suffering unspeakable tragedies, yet I'm taking some small solace in the fact that major characters in the two biggest summer movies are named Mister Terrific and Mister Fantastic.

I’m a long time Superman fan, and I want to be clear: The Superman story is an immigration story of an outsider who tries to always do the most good. His arch nemesis is a billionaire. You don’t get to change who he is because you don’t like his story. Comics are political.

Who will I see at SDCC??

I haven't totally fact checked this yet but I'm fairly confident that MAD LOVE has the most review quotes from Roseanne cast members in DC history.

In FREE PLANET #3, Marcus “Mookie” Kingvarti shows exactly why he’s one of Lutheria’s most celebrated revolutionaries, with a space dogfight that MUST be read as a print periodical. In comic shops Wednesday, July 9! Preview: bit.ly/OrouranAttack

A few days ago a co-worker called me "the biggest Taylor Swift and Christopher Priest fan" and I think that's probably true. There are definitely people who are bigger fans of each individually than me. But of those who are fans of both? I'm probably #1 in the aggregate.

Hell yeah I got a full set.

Was driving to work this morning only to get the helpful reminder that RIHANNA IS SMURFETTE

I’m excited to announce an all new team of young heroes! A new IP from me and @dinicuolo.bsky.social at… DC Comics! Presenting C.O.R.T. : Children of the Round Table.

This is just like when Kurt Angle turned on the Alliance at Survivor Series 2001; even though he was attacking the clear villains, redemption for him was impossible as he was too complicit in building them up in the first place, and only defected for self-aggrandizing reasons. Slide 2 please
