Thirty years ago today, Doug Ross saved a boy trapped in a storm drain, and George Clooney became the biggest star in the world: youtu.be/bMxr5oM9GFI?...

My friends made a New York story and I loved it so much. Go see BUNNY in select theaters and On Demand November 14th.

Tomorrow, Sat. 11/8, a murderer’s row of talented comic book creators will be signing at REVENGE OF COMIC BOOK BLOCK PARTY! I’ll be there 1-2pm, but folks will be signing ALL DAY! Comics! Pinball! Live interviews! It’s gonna be a blast. Way better than your other plans (sorry, your other plans).

Sometimes, the internet is ok.

Those three magical words: “Off to script.”

I think if you wrote a story where the world’s richest man could push a button and kill somebody on the other side of the world you wouldn’t expect it to end with him on marathon benders where he can’t mash that murder button fast enough.

People thinking they’re inventing network television after 10 years of destroying network television, I am going to walk into the fucking ocean.

Hey y’all I would be remiss if I didn’t mention I’ll be doing my first signing at a Con ever(!) tomorrow at Rhode Island Comic Con!!! and all my proceeds will be going to @trevorproject.bsky.social for LGBTQ+ youth Love to see you there!

WILD ANIMALS #4 out today! From me, Andy Kun, @deezoid.bsky.social and @robjoneswrites.bsky.social Neil’s search for his father’s killer leads him face-to-face with one of the men behind the crime—a man whose own secrets threaten to shatter everything Neil thought he knew. STAY AWAY FROM SPOILERS!

The easiest lay up applause line for a 2028 candidate will be to list all of the Trump policy damage they'll fix and end on, "And we will make the White House great again."

Earth 2 Curtis Sliwa tonight

Grab that fire hose and jump into our brand new series, GET ME ANOTHER… DIE HARD. Join us this holiday season as we explore the wave of movies in which a lone action hero is the only hope against impossible odds. Starts Tuesday, November 11th wherever you listen to podcasts.

My wife’s on the board of the LA Food Bank, and we had a fantastic time last night at their “Taste of the Rams” event at Sofi Stadium. We got a behind-the-scenes tour and everything.

Issue #3 of my female assassin story in the ‘80s ASSASSIN G launches TODAY on @kickstarter.com !!! Check it out: www.kickstarter.com/projects/imm...

“I can still smell the onions and mustard, chief.”

This is why you do a crossover. This is THE issue. We have fun. We get weird. And I can’t believe we got away with it. You can read it this Wednesday at your LCS.

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...

Happy Nov. 1!!

Presenting… Cyclops!

Holy crap, this looks great! I know @gabrielhardman.bsky.social likes the O’Neil/Cowan QUESTION and Mike Grell’s GREEN ARROW so this should be a ton of fun.

You’re cordially invited:

Five years ago today was the release of the Zoom live read of CRISIS ON INFINITE TEEN DRAMAS. It might be my favorite creative experience. I wrote about when success is surrounded by grief and the effort to separate the two. thebitterscriptreader.blogspot.com/2025/10/five...

A collection of our personal comic creator heroes coming together to tell their wild tales in the world of Minor Threats. I still don't believe this real... but now you can read the whole thing in trade out this week!

If it’s Saturday, it’s America’s Night of Heroes ™️ on CBS youtu.be/N5ohOWCZZEM?...

All these TikToks going after screenwriters for shitty dialogue without any awareness that the on-the-nose dialogue is a directive of studios *because* of viewers on TikTok during their shows.

As long as the biographers were all of age, I'm thinking we can let this much pass.

Uh oh. My son is about to find out the hard way that Brian Vaughan is quite litigious.

Americans want to watch charismatic people solve moderately difficult problems on a weekly basis. That’s it. And a group of fomo execs and techbros who don’t watch TV drove one of the most profitable industries in the US off a cliff rather than accept that.

Share someone who looks stylish wearing the color brown.

I feel very strongly that the new stupid ballroom should *not* be torn down. I believe the next Dem President should, a week after taking office, have a Drag Queen Story Hour there, and then use it for a rotating exhibit of Black/Latin/East Asian/African/Queer art. We're going full troll, people.

Greatest stunt of all time or most monumental fuckup?

OUT TODAY!!! THE OCTOBER GIRL Book One from me and @maverickogn.bsky.social! It's the first book in a YA suburban fantasy series with hints of Bradbury, Charles Addams, Amelié, Doctor Who, and Tim Burton, and I'm fiercely proud of it!

Tonight in 1976, your humble narrator was introduced to the “Women in Prison” genre on an episode of CHARLIE’S ANGELS. “Angels in Chains” also featured Kim Basinger in her TV debut, Mary Woronov, and all the tropes little me would come to appreciate in my later years. #TVSky #ClassicTV

Goddamn, THE DIPLOMAT season 3 just hits the ground running at a full sprint. And the premiere is only 41 minutes long. These are people who know how to make television!

The AWS outage slowed getting this out, but here's another piece of reporting you won't read anywhere else toomuchtv.substack.com/p/too-much-t...

For The New York Times, I wrote about how Task, The Lowdown, and the Taylor Sheridan-verse shows take different approaches to Red State/blue-collar America: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/o...

This is a great write-up of ZOO, a bonkers sci-fi show I worked on. My only quibble is while James Mangold was an executive producer, he didn’t have much involvement. All the big swings were courtesy of our showrunners, Josh Appelbaum and Jeff Pinkner. Sadly it’s not streaming, but you can buy it.

Introducing my son to this blast from my past. I loved this goofy show when I was a kid. It also serves as a nice time capsule of the Universal backlot, as they shoot pretty much the entire series all over the lot, dressing it up like various time periods.

1) Hey, I'm mostly jamming on a pitch today, but on a break and thought I'd mention something that came up in discussion with another writer -- you should know your average pitching speed. Mine's about 200 words a minute.

Goddamn, James Callis in the latest SLOW HORSES is just fantastic.

VIDEO: Much of the controversy and drama in my new novel FALLEN STAR, out now, revolves around this piece of land... youtu.be/k60eOBYkSlo

My son loves sports so now I get to watch hours and hours of TV ads with some baseball sprinkled among them.

VIDEO/SPOILER - Here's a peek at the setting for one of the scenes in my new novel FALLEN STAR, the 6th Eve Ronin adventure. But I wouldn't watch this until you you've read the book... www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_XK...
