Following up Javier Rodríguez's singular illustrations of the Martian seemed near impossible to me but Juan Ferreyra really does do such a good job of capturing such a striking yet different take on the character. It's less playdough and more living paint. Absolutely breathtaking.

we literally root for charlie brown every step of the way, he is the main character the show has told us to love. he is who we want to see win. and then when lucy pulls the football away, the show is telling us it does not respect our time as a viewer.

I want to go to NYCC but I’m really weighing if I should do that to my wallet lmao, also maybe it’s too late to get tickets? Either way I need to figure this out sooner rather than later

Hey, I wrote a thing again! Part review of Legion of Superheroes #1 and part close reading of two pages that tell Superman's origin in EXTREMELY different ways.

I was unfamiliar until recently with the story of Father Mychal Judge, a gay priest who became the first recorded casualty of 9/11 while administering last rites in the lobby of the North Tower. There is an effort to canonize him, which would make him the first openly gay saint in history.

Father Mychal Judge, Gay Franciscan Killed in the North Tower, Could Be 9/11’s First Saint
The first recorded death at Ground Zero would become the first known gay person canonized a saint in the Catholic Church’s history.

Had a sudden random urge to look at Batman movie costumes on a Wednesday morning commute. And, hot take, but the BvS Batman costume is weirdly a really good modern Batman costume? Very New 52 in some ways? It feels very “modern” without going into the realm of tacticool
Batman’s costume from Batman vs Superman

I say this as a big Shakespeare person. Sometimes deviating from the source text and more using it as a jumping off point is actually generative and worthwhile. Adaptations shouldn't try to be a substitute for the source text in any sense.

I don’t care about this movie or really the financial success of big budget movies at all but maybe it’s just a bad summer for blockbuster’s at this point lmao. Has even one of the big franchise movies done well this summer? Mando, Supergirl, and this.

I’ve been neglecting prose reading in my free time too much lately. Probably don’t need to jump to one extreme to another but I think I’m going to hit pause on back reading comics for a lil bit. Instead I’m going to refocus that energy on prose.

Not to be dramatic but an elaborate tens of millions of dollars wedding in a garish stadium in a city currently suffering a deadly heatwave feels like some shit you’d call out for being too on the nose in a dystopian novel.

Hateeeee this, also the cover wasn’t even pulled I don’t think? That’s just a misreport? Genuinely people getting into vaguely culture war stuff over a perfectly good Romita cover is insane. Some Spider-Man fans are odd.

Genuinely baffling thesis to me, and I’m always talking about marvel’s current art problems with friends! It’s a genuinely great looking JRJR cover, not much meat to this bone imo. Much more interesting material to critique marvel’s art issues than this.

This is BY FAR the biggest heart-breaking betrayal of the entire AI scourge and says so much about how Scorsese views work on film that he isn't directly involved with (ie the Production and Writing) because he clearly thinks AI should never touch those but STORYBOARD ARTISTS? That's not real work!

Animal Farm was taught to me as an anticommunist text. Lord of The Flies was also taught to me as an anticommunist text. A Separate Peace was about how the duplicitous queer is driven to shatter your heterosexual legs.

I cannot stress enough how good it is for you to learn to write small before you go big. It's a skill that will never fail you. It teaches you economy of story and shows what really matters when you have so little space to play in. This is regardless of medium, too. Comic, screenplay, prose etc.

"Batman, the character who iconically dangles criminals off roofs, has to face one of his rogues as a vulnerable person in crisis. One alone little boy to another. That’s what makes this issue remarkable and deserving of a relaunch." New article for @comicsbulletin.bsky.social, give it a read.

It does not feel like a victory for the T in the LGBTQ+ community as the flag being flown is the old rainbow pride flag which notably leaves out the trans pride colors AND does not address the separate trans flag that was flying at the monument. Which It's STONEWALL. The trans part is IMPORTANT.
