Still waiting on talent to show up.

Don’t forget that LAZARUS: FALLEN 4 is out today, with a back cover that’s hilariously funny if you are me and therefore get all of the references. Good stuff inside from @gregrucka.com @airy.bsky.social @michaellark.bsky.social @mercuryeric.bsky.social @alejandrobot.com and Santi Arcas.

Ah, the glamorous life of showbiz—sitting in an un-air-conditioned gym, waiting to see if the talent is going to show up.

Out tomorrow! LAZARUS: FALLEN #4! Published by @imagecomics.com, brought to you by the tallents of @airy.bsky.social @mercuryeric.bsky.social @michaellark.bsky.social @alejandrobot.com @richardhowe.bsky.social and Santi Arcas!

Texas friends, this is such a great deal—unlimited virtual primary care with discounted labs and insurance not required! All for a low monthly fee:

THE RELUCTANT TRAVELER with Eugene Levy is back for its third season on Apple. If you bounced off the first couple of episodes of season 1, give it another try—the show (and Levy) found its groove halfway through S1 and is now really, really good.

I've stumbled into a playlist of songs from the '80s that I completely forgot about. They are not, in general, great songs, but it is weirdly fun and upbeat. Not a bad way to start the day.

@mckelvie.bsky.social @andydiggle.bsky.social How hard would y'all say it is to get into the novels if you come from THE EXPANSE show? Do the differences cause too much friction, or do they kind of quickly fade into the background?

In case you didn't get the memo, there's a new issue of LAZARUS Fallen next week ⚔️ @gregrucka.com @michaellark.bsky.social Santiago Arcas @alejandrobot.com @airy.bsky.social @mercuryeric.bsky.social @richardhowe.bsky.social @imagecomics.com

Guess I'm in a Warren Zevon kind of mood today.

RIP Robert Redford. My condolences to his family, friends, and fans.

I joke a lot about #LazarusFallen and my role in the creative team, but I really, truly am proud of the book. I genuinely think Greg, Michael, Sante, and the rest of the team get better every issue, and that we’re pushing the narrative in ways no one expects but that still make sense.

It's a really great issue, and it features one of my favorite artifacts/back covers I've ever done. There are some really deep cut jokes hidden in the copy. Oh, and none of MY images have weird blurry glitches in them. ;) #LazarusFallen #comics #JustAJokeMichael

It’s been long enough since I watched THE EXPANSE that I’ve forgotten a lot of the details, so rewatching is a real treat. Happy now, @andydiggle.bsky.social ?

@duncanfegredo.bsky.social Happy birthday!

TERRIERS is my go-to, though there are certainly others.

I swear, my main use for social media is not arranging movie screenings with friends. Well, okay, maybe it is.

Oh, OUT OF THE PAST *and* CROSSFIRE at the New Bev this weekend? I may have to find my way over there…

@heroinitiative.bsky.social volunteer and Army vet Desiree Rincon needs some help. After all she's given to so many, if you could give a little back, that would be wonderful. www.gofundme.com/f/veteran-fa...

In case you’re wondering how today going, I just said, “Bless his heart.” about one co-worker to another c0-worker.

If you want to think or talk about a shooting, may I humbly suggest you pay attention to this one instead. Children die horrifically in this country every day, and it needs to fucking stop. www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/u...

To everyone saying that we now have War & Pestilence but still need famine & death, I would like to point you to the Department of Agriculture. We’ve got Famine already. We probably have Death, too, but there are too many possibilities to know who it is.

Once again wishing there was a "Link all masks" function in Photoshop.

Also: a fisheyed high angle shot? Yes, please. (Again by @mattfraction.bsky.social, @jorgejimenezart.bsky.social, Tomeu Morey, & Clayton Cowles.)

And here I didn't expect @mattfraction.bsky.social's BATMAN to be funny. Silly me. (Art by the great @jorgejimenezart.bsky.social, Tomeu Morey, & Clayton Cowles)

CHEETAH & CHESHIRE ROB THE JUSTICE LEAGUE #2 is a freakin' gem and you should all be reading it. cc: @gregrucka.com @nicolascottart.bsky.social

@kellysue.bsky.social I laughed so hard that a co-worker stuck his head in my office to make sure I was okay.

Drop an old person you’re going to turn into in the future.

EENIE MEENIE on Hulu is *not* what it says on the package. If it had been more stylishly shot, I’d call it a noir. Under no circumstances would I call it an action-comedy.

Social media is such a weird thing. I somehow have almost 3 times as many followers as people I follow, and only about 20 of those are people I know outside of this place. The majority of those 20 are people I met via social media and became friends with outside of it. (Cont.)

I kind of love the new Raye Zaragoza song. Like a comfy blanket on a quiet morning. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwQF...

There are days that I feel like Sisyphus, but with pixels instead of rocks.

Okay, I'll admit I'm biased, but I genuinely think the book gets better with each issue. I mean, maybe not the back covers, but everything else. Seriously, though, Greg & Michael & everyone else are firing on all cylinders, and you should be reading our book.

I know Spider-Man inside out and would love to write a Spidey story at some point. I acknowledge that I, much like Peter Parker, would probably gripe and worry about it the whole time I was writing it, though.

Paging @lewislarosa.bsky.social

Just making certain that @kierongillen.bsky.social, @mckelvie.bsky.social, @andydiggle.bsky.social and @alkennedy.bsky.social see this… (Thanks to @jessnevins.bsky.social for letting me know this exists.)

And a back cover by me! Yeah, yeah, I know.

Lancaster’s line delivery was so distinct. No one spoke like Lancaster, and we are less for his loss.

Damn it, I miss James Earl Jones. I miss Burt Lancaster. I miss when summers were something I loved, not something I endure. Maybe I just miss being 18.

Watching FIELD OF DREAMS, which was probably my favorite movie in 1989. It hits differently now, both because of my age and the way the world has changed, but it’s still charming and weirdly meditative.

Yay! Both Reluctant Traveler and Slow Horses are back in September.

Can folks do me a favor? I was on Bluesky early & it was great. Mostly. I hit the eject button in January. I came back, many colleagues are here, but still don’t know I am. I co-created Halt and Catch Fire. I write TV & comics. Here’s two favorite set photos. Repost? I am in the wilderness.
