When they were filming Lincoln here in Richmond, DDL was in character the whole time. The only time he broke was when something nearly fell on him, he apparently quipped how it was almost the second assassination of Lincoln. Don't know how true that is, but it makes for a great story.

I even tuned out halfway through Chibnall’s run. The show needs to have modest budgets and great stories again.

there were some great episodes in there, but the finales were a mess, and it often got too precious. But, it got my boy into Who, and Gatwa was great!

I just got it! Two days BEFORE the Prime Deal! I describe it as one of those books I wanted to write but someone else beat me to it, and probably did a better job. Excited to crack it open.

I'm right there with you. It feels like a hail Mary in light of DC's sales boost from Absolute, but nothing about it inspires me, either. Maybe because it all feels like something we've seen before or somewhere else?

I'm open to it, especially since books will be available only a month after hitting stores--makes it easier to start picking it up if I like it enough. Plus, if the interface (especially search) is better, I'll be happy.

Donald Trump just called Dr. Annie Andrews "Trannie Andrews" on Truth Social in an attempt to help her opponent raise money. Join me in flooding Dr. Andrews website with tons of small donations right now so that this backfires on Trump spectacularly. 💙 drannieandrews.com

The Shining, Freaks, Black Sabbath, The Exorcist, The Fly, Late Night with the Devil, Teenage Sex & Death (if I can get it), Hellraiser, maybe Candyman, The Grudge (OG), and some Tales from the Crypt. Other things, too: I'm still planning it out.

For friends in Virginia, check out this excellent distillation from @salaambhattiva.bsky.social. Includes a poignant quote from Thomas Jefferson which I have leaned on for more than 25 years. By the way... for all 3 amendments on the ballot: Don't guess. Vote YES.

@brianjayjones.com , I make a ton of Madman swag for Mike through @kickstarter.com. I also really loved your George Lucas book. Shoot me a message and I'm happy to send a gift box. Did you get the second Madman lunchbox we did a few years ago? Or the Code-X Secret Decoder? Or the 3D trading cards?

That's one of them. I think it was preceded by Clash of the Titans. But, yeah, middle-aged woman turned into killer cyborg? Stuff of nightmares.

As we enter the final month before the midterms, don't get cocky. If anything, it's time to ramp up the work and pour it on. Check your registration. Vote early. Push your friends and family too. Look for local places to help out. Phone bank and write postcards. Volunteer for Election Day.

And I wish I could've met Dave Stevens! The closest I came was when he called TwoMorrows one day the year I worked there. I've heard nothing but great things.

That was my understanding when I wrote the Gold Key article for Comic Book Artist. Comics.org also lists him as writer and artist. www.comics.org/issue/17510/

I never really thought of him in that way, but yes, I have to agree.

One more example of how Trump lacks even a grade school grasp of Civics.

Steve Rude's dog is at the emergency vet. I'm throwing in a few bucks to help cover the cost, and hopefully keep her alive. Here's a link: www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/...

Sasha, our 2-year-old husky, is in the emergency hospital. Her estimated vet bill is $5,000 to $10,000, and every dollar here goes to that bill. It is not a tax-deductible donation. Thank you for lovi...

Much of this performance smacks of desperation. Is he worried he's next on the chopping block?

What do socialist Democrats have? SOLID messaging, presenting a problem with cold, hard figures, and then a solution.

Honestly, I'm kind of okay in this instance of the "additional scenes" getting leaked. I'm going into this one cautious yet hopeful.

The one shelf I did that with was, ironically, the Spirit one! I'm skipping the non Eisner volumes, but consider this the last time we'll ever get to see these Ebony White stories in print.

Please spread this around to your family and friends who may not be doom scrollers, unaware of the horrible stakes if the midterms don’t deliver a Democratic wave to stop this Project 2025 shitstorm.

Don't quote me on this, but I once heard Disney regularly retitled/changed their shows to keep the actors within a certain pay bracket. This may be a similar case here.
