This is as niche a piece of content as I’ve ever worked on, and there are approximately a dozen of my friends who will appreciate this card. I’ve written thousands of WWE cards and hundreds of Star Trek cards. This Becky Lynch sits in the middle of the Venn diagram. Might be my new favorite. ♥️🖖

My degree is in history. I never honestly thought we'd be living under a textbook Mad King.

Hunkered down in my local theater for a Star Trek movie marathon with four related TOS episodes, celebrating Star Trek Day for Trek’s 60th anniversary. Between the two pictures is ~40 years of fandom and the greatest highlights of my professional life. Thank you Star Trek for being inspirational! 🖖

Looks like Scotty is wearing a skant in the next episode. I’m sure the internet will be totally normal about that.

Much like Thanksgiving, #StarTrekDay is earlier in Canada as TOS premiered on 9/6/66 there-two days before the US. This is especially appropriate for me as my first contact with Star Trek occurred in Calgary in Dec ‘84. Here are some of my Trek/Canada pics. Essay: www.startrek.com/news/the-sta... 🖖🇨🇦

I can’t explain it exactly but @ansonmount’s voice acting was superb. To paraphrase Admiral McCoy, he *sounds* like a Muppet.

I know it’s not exactly the same but one of the Star Trek 60th Anniversary popcorn buckets reminds me very much of the cover of the book I wrote for the 50th anniversary.

What a week! Three days at STLV and then home for Connecticut’s Terrificon, where I reunited with Jim Lawson who drew a bunch of my TMNT comics a lifetime ago. Was also fun to get a picture of a pair of Jakes. IYKYK. Was honored share a book I wrote with Bjo Trimble and reconnect with Terry Matalas.

Saw Brand New Day today; really liked it. Brought back several Spidey memories, including that I met my wife the day after seeing a midnight showing of Spider-Man 2. And how in 2009 Marvel hired me to write a Spidey comic that was never published but was really their contribution to my cancer fight.

Today I turn 47. I’ve been looking forward to this birthday for a long time solely because 47 is Star Trek’s magic number. 🖖 memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/47

memory-alpha.fandom.com

The number 47 makes frequent recurrences in dialogues and on computer screens in Star Trek. The origin of the significance of 47 can be traced to Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Voyager ...

Many of you know my long history with Supergirl. I saw the movie tonight. I liked it way more than I thought I would. The film itself was a little up and down for me, and I prefer a different interpretation generally. That all being said…

Visited this kid today at MOTU. My cheeks hurt from smiling. I caught myself actually clapping at the onscreen action. I was emotional. I was four years old jumping on the bed. I was eight playing with my toys. And I was my late-40s self who understood those other two in a way I hadn’t before.
