Last year’s oversized reprint helps keep it from being completely ignored…

These jokes require a certain touch, but verisimilitude is not required. Happy ‘87!

That’s so great for you and even better for Vault. Looking forward to continuing some conversations…

Good choices - I'm also waiting on Robert Caro's final LBJ book and The Doors of Stone by Patrick Rothfuss. I'd guess the Beatles and Kirby books show up first…

Such a great guest! He fit in as well as folks who have been longtime friends of the show.

San Diego panel famous. Sorry I'm not in the room/building, but proud nonetheless. (If you squint at the first image, you can see my name at bottom left on the cover slide.) bleedingcool.com/comics/jim-l...

Glad you don't short-change yourself. Some folks overcorrect.

But couldn't you legitimately say you worked on an Eisner-nominated title? (I was a writer on a title that won a Ringo, but am careful to never describe myself as a Ringo-winning writer.) Thread that needle!

I'm now struck by the sadness of Deadman being around the Legion in the 31st century. That guy doesn't get a break in a thousand years.

Ivan C @ivanmcohen.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

I have, indeed, heard you. :) Thanks!

Okay, comicsSky, let's give this a shot - family trip to Paris for a week and London for a few days at the end of July. Comics shop recommendations?

This one killed me today.

An image of a Nancy Drew-style book cover, using the Washington Monument and Reflecting Pool as the main subject, with Nancy kneeling on the left, flashlight pointing down into the water. Across the top is the title "The Case of the Missing Paint."

I really enjoy EB White's take on New York and New Yorkers.

An excerpt from EB White's Here is New York
There are roughly three New Yorks there is first the New York of the man or woman who was born here who takes the city for granted and accepts its size and its turbulence is natural and inevitable second there is the New York of the commuter the city that is devoured by locusts each day and spat out each night third there is the New York of the person who was born somewhere else and came to New York in quest of something of these three trembling cities the greatest is the last the city of final destination the city that is a goal it is this third city that accounts for New York's high-strung disposition it's poetical deportment it's a dedication to the arts and it's incomparable achievements commuters give the city its title restlessness natives give it solidity and continuity but the settlers give it passion and whether it is a farmer arriving from Italy to set up a small grocery store in a slum or a young girl arriving from a small town in Mississippi to escape the indignity of being observed by her neighbors or a boy arriving from the corn belt with a manuscript in his suitcase and a pain in his heart it makes no difference each embraces New York with the intense excitement of first love each absorbs New York with fresh eyes of an adventurer each generates heat and light to dwarf the consolidated Edison company

I wondered if you’d go for Tec or his Shazam stories.

Hell Gate is fantastic. Take advantage of this deal and you’ll be better for the experience.

Ivan C @ivanmcohen.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

You may indeed have done all the things. (I have another TV-based project coming out this summer and the experience reminded me of this one even before it showed up at the signing.)

Ivan C @ivanmcohen.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

FCBD trip down memory lane: a fan had me sign this book (connected to the short-lived TV series PEOPLE OF EARTH), the first time in ages I've seen a copy of the custom project I did with the incredible @tonyshasteen.bsky.social. Editor @alexantone.bsky.social put this one together back in the day.

Is this the first time Rudy Giuliani has been referred to as “stable”?

In case it got lost in the sea of despair (and that's a pretty deep sea) - come say hi on Saturday at Royal Collectibles in Queens! And you can find me afterwards at nearby Eddie's Sweet Shop.

When you defended your master’s thesis, did anyone put on sunglasses and say “we’re in“? I hope so.

Beastie Boys featuring Santigold on "Don't Play No Game That I can't Win" was a gift to (not just) my musical life for sure. Thanks for reminding me. :)

Ivan C @ivanmcohen.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

Like free stuff? Sure you do. Like seeing me? I hope so. On Saturday, May 2 come to Royal Collectibles in Queens for the intersection of those powerful impulses. I’ll be signing my Free Comic Book Day LEGO Batman comic.

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

So glad this has been announced. I get to play with a lot of fabulous toys when I get to do custom projects for DC, but this one was more fun than most. And you cannot beat the price. www.comicsbeat.com/lego-batman-...

Democratic VOTERS want ICE gone. If you can’t figure that out (or worse, you know but don’t care), you don’t deserve your leadership position or even your Senate seat.

Popup is a huge ridiculous scam (you have to buy in multiples of three and have to get them with cream cheese - so it’s not cheap). I’ve never been unable to get a pumpernickel bagel anyplace else in nyc, apart from maybe a grocery store.

Ivan C @ivanmcohen.bsky.social · 20/01/2026

I remember hearing that in a movie where an actor playing Don King (Ving Rhames in 1997, the web confirms) shared that…um, wisdom?

Today marks 5 years since Kid Quick's 2020 debut. If you haven't met them in DC'S VERY MERRY MULTIVERSE, TEEN JUSTICE, or DC PRIDE, you should. Thx to @mikhalmc.bsky.social, Eleonora Carlini, @weredawgz.blacksky.app, @marcofaillacomics.bsky.social and the other excellent collaborators on Team Quick.
