🔁 ICYMI: @chrisryall.bsky.social talks #Megalopolis, from adapting lost pulp grandeur to building a new kind of superhero epic with @thatjacobphillips.bsky.social. Don’t miss this interview by @davidbrooke.bsky.social:

Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis was easily the most divisive film of 2024, but does it work better as a graphic novel? Find out in our exclusive preview:

MEGALOPOLIS the graphic novel is out TODAY. I'm so excited to finally get this book out into the world. Here's a few of my favourite pages from the book

It's release day for Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis: The Graphic Novel by FFC, me, and Jacob Phillips! Here's more information about it, recent press, a couple upcoming signings, and an extended preview of the book, too: chrisryall.substack.com/p/tales-of-s...

Check out this deep dive with @chrisryall.bsky.social on #Megalopolis: the resurrection of pulp, city-scale stakes, and how he’s reimagining the epic with #comics artist @thatjacobphillips.bsky.social. 🏙️💥 @abramscomicarts.bsky.social Read the interview:

Shopping for Superman gets brought up in a lot of interesting ways these days. Sometimes, organically, when referring to the quality of one man's hydrodynamics but in the same episode as THE Francis Ford Coppola and THE @chrisryall.bsky.social ...well now that's something special. Give it a listen!

It's hardly surprising at this point but it's still so dismaying that there is just an endless supply of sycophants, grifters, supplicants, and scumbags at all levels willing to fall in line and do his terrible bidding.

Figured I’d give it a couple days to see if anything lingering hit but three days after getting a double blast of Covid & flu shots, not one after-effect. Barely any arm soreness, either. If you live in a state where you can still get em, I say go get em.

This is so dumb. Happy book birthday Andrew, Delilah, Keith, Rachel, M.L., Eric and everyone else, there’s just way too many horror books out today…

Happy Star Trek Day to all who celebrate. The closest I got to being an actual part of the original series is when I was "cast" as Janice Rand's comatose and then departed fiancé in a couple issues of John Byrne's Star Trek: New Visions photonovels...

What a great cover. A perfect representation of the story she’s telling here.

Hey @imagecomics.com creators—looks like the accounting @ email address got hacked. DO NOT click the link you got sent this morning by Sue Korpela (it goes to a Russian site) and don’t reply. Hopefully as soon as the west coast wakes up this’ll be sorted out Please RT, comics folks

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.

Advance copies of my Daredevil: Born Again book, one of the launch titles in @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social’s new Marvel Age of Comics line, arrived this week and they look great. 30,000 words and 20 pieces of art discussing the ways Born Again is the best superhero comic storylines ever. Out in Nov.

I really love @sandiegocomic-con.bsky.social.

In LA, I was waiting for my hotel elevator when the doors opened and inside was Sharon & Ozzy, dressed up for a show. I stared. Long enough that I Ozzy said, "He's just fookin' standing there! I think maybe he's an idiot!" Then the door closed and off they went. I think maybe Ozzy was right. R.I.P.

Ozzy Osbourne died. Of the many obituaries I wrote for @NBCNews, some you hope never need to surface. This one was co-written with one of my mentors, journalism heroes, and friend @corkysiemaszko.bsky.social Sabbath was the soundtrack of my youth. RIP. www.nbcnews.com/news/obituar...

If you missed grabbing our new comic-con/horror anthology Dread the Hall H, want me & Jordan to scribble our names on your copy, or just want to come grab a custom Dread the Hall H lanyard, well, come see us at @knowheregc.bsky.social today from 2-4 and accomplish any of those things.

"Every story landed for me, and even the one that dragged on for a while (wink) ended up being my favorite out of the bunch." I love this Dread the Hall H review, @javyperez.bsky.social. It's always nice when something like that one landed the way we intended. www.comicsbeat.com/wednesday-co...

Dread the Hall H - One-shot ✨ A horror anthology that takes place in comic conventions? Of course we’re in! @chrisryall.bsky.social @jimmykucajart.bsky.social

Dread the Hall H by Jordan Hart and Chris Ryall is more than just a fantastic horror anthology, it's also a love letter to comic conventions such as SDCC. @imagecomics.com @chrisryall.bsky.social

My latest Substack newsletter is up: this week's release of our new Dread the Hall H comic, my San Diego Comic-Con panels and plans, and avast array of pirate covers for the spinner rack: chrisryall.substack.com/p/tales-of-s...

Among the many things @jamesgunn.bsky.social is good at is making the most comic-booky of concepts work perfectly well on-screen, even for my non-comic-reading friends. In Superman, not just Metamorpho but at one point, the disembodied head of Metamorpo? Of course, why not. Such a fun movie.

I was given an ultimatum.

Superman was a blast.
