Al Ewing Writes Comics @al-ewing.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I mean, I don’t know if Marvel’s cosmology is even a thing. I can’t map it in a way that won’t be contradicted tomorrow or even yesterday if I missed an issue. I honestly think you’re better off appreciating the metaphors as they come and not worrying, but I can’t/won’t tell you how to enjoy comics. 330

Al Ewing Writes Comics @al-ewing.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I had one of the bottom ten worst days of my life today, so I’m going to be blunt: this is a trap. Comics are poems and metaphors, not charts and categories. Knull is the empty hollow void I’m feeling right now and you don’t want to understand that and I would never wish that understanding on you. 120

Al Ewing Writes Comics @al-ewing.bsky.social · 30/09/2026There’s an odd thing that happens when you write comics, especially comics with the “big characters”, where you somehow become more fictional than the people you write. MJ and Venom are real and have feelings - I have whatever motivation you assign me, or editorial. It’s not a lot of fun. 11516
