I'm writing about this sexy but sometimes dickish but definitely sexy sky-rider of the spaceways for The Comics Courier. Which is something you should support because did I mention the sexy. (They're also lots more smart comics writing by many smart folks!! Kickstarter link below!! 👇)

The sexy but dickish Silver Surfer does a kissy hit and run with Alicia Masters.

I never thought I needed a Garfield stocking hanger but that was before I knew about the Garfield stocking hanger

It's Garfield! He hangs onto your Xmas stocking! And is unexpectedly cheerful about it!

My guy @adamreck.bsky.social pays tribute to the artist Joshua Cassara, who tragically passed away this week, far too young. I was lucky enough to meet Josh when Adam got his Green Lagoon print signed, and he was very kind & generous on top of all his talent.

ICYMI: last week, I wrote words for @comicsxf.com about feminist heroes, real & fictional & both. "One of Gloria Steinem’s imperfect heroes was Wonder Woman. And one of mine is Gloria Steinem." An imperfect hero’s imperfect hero: On Gloria Steinem and Wonder Woman share.google/DrqgcRGlD2g3...

On Gloria Steinem and Wonder Woman

I haven't always loved everything about the Lanterns show (I'd like to see them do more with the Sci-fi concepts that are kinda just there) but I have enjoyed the Sex Stuff.

"In honor of Steinem’s passing, I reread her personal reflection on her fierce love for a deeply flawed yet undeniably powerful female superhero and found myself revisiting my own complicated affection for a real woman with real flaws who nonetheless really inspired me."

Just watched the first X-Men movie with @adamreck.bsky.social for the first time in like 20 years and man was it ever a bold visual choice to depict all the X-Men except Wolverine with the kind of superpowers where you stand very still in a single location and make a stink face at a distant target.

In the past, I've received interview & speaking invitations from TV & radio stations, podcasts, websites, documentarians, and libraries, but lately, I'm really struggling to figure out which requests are legit because so many emails sound like AI. Is anyone else having this problem.

This movie remains bad in so many different ways and is also even more sexist than I remembered? (And I remembered it being pretty sexist!)

Today, in honor of Gloria Steinem (and in an effort to reckon with my complicated feelings about her legacy), I read the full first issue of Ms. It's a messy, passionate portrait of a type of feminist purpose I wish my younger self had known. Like Steinem, it ain't perfect. But it is powerful. RIP.

The cover of the first full issue of Ms. Magazine, depicting Wonder Woman and declaring "Wonder Woman for President."

Today is the auspicious birth anniversary of my one and only @adamreck.bsky.social. Speaking as someone with direct daily access to the subject, it is my objective scientific opinion that he gets handsomer every year ❤️ Plz yell happy birthday at him if you are so inclined.

Today I obtained arguably the greatest X-Men story of all time: the saga of the Alphabet Pet as featured in the Uncanny X-Men Super Activity Book.

Because he hates spelling Magneto invents the Alphabet Pet.

The Alphabet Pet prepares to sting an uncharacteristically jovial Wolverine.

If we compare Dungeon Crawler Carl to Solo Leveling, and read them both in the context of their popularity, we get a fascinating study on what our society is currently hungering for in their fiction and why the concept of dungeon crawl might be uniquely desirable. #dungeoncrawlercarl 1/10

There is a pervasive, enduring assumption that superhero stories are exclusively masculine preserves. The wedding of Spider-Man showcases the indelible influence of a connotatively feminine genre–romance. #spiderman #comicsstudies Web-Slinging Romance Tropes [1 of 3]

I sometimes loved doing comics criticism but think many of us step away for similar reasons. There's a lot of pressure (from industry contacts + some fans & creators) not to critique anything but if I'm not gonna critique anything then it's just PR? And in any case I'm working for free. 1/3
