September saw the release of THE DC UNIVERSE OF KEITH GIFFEN—which is a sampler of some of the brilliant work my much-missed friend and frequent creative collaborator produced for the company. I wrote an intro for the book and you can read it over at my website. www.jmdematteis.com/2026/10/cosm...

I totally agree. Should have been Edith Keeler. Would have raised that movie to another level.

If the internet is to be believed, this showed up in comic book shops on this day in 1995. Still can't believe I was fortunate enough to team these two up, not once—but twice. (Once for Marvel with Mark Bagley, once for DC with Graham Nolan.) Talk about childhood dreams coming true.

I talked to SYFY Wire about what I felt my Rod Serling bio had to add to the extensive library of Serling scholarship, and how I was able to get so many famous Serling fans to talk to me about him:

Time to plug the prose: You can read sample chapters of DARK FUTURE, THE WITNESS, and THE EXCAVATOR at the Neotext site. If you enjoy my comics work, I think you'll like these, as well. neotextcorp.com/fiction/dark...

It's October 9th, what would have been John Lennon's 86h birthday (how is that possible?), and in honor of the occasion I'm happy to once again tell the tale of my two encounters with my rock and roll hero. www.jmdematteis.com/2026/10/lenn...

My old friends at Rolling Stone ran an excerpt from Serling, where famous fans like JJ Abrams, Vince Gilligan, and Rian Johnson talk about The Twilight Zone's genius and its influence on their work:

For The New York Times, I wrote about how Rod Serling create The Twilight Zone in part because it was the only way in the 1950 and 60s for him to comment on the subjects he cared about most, and how that's a good blueprint for contemporary media to deal with our surreal current moment:

I was recently asked to provide an introduction for a Hungarian collection of my Amazing Spider-Man story "Shrieking." It was an interesting exercise going back in time, assessing a story written decades ago. You can read the intro over at my website. www.jmdematteis.com/2026/10/shri...

I'd start with JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY #118. Month after month the stories get bigger and better. You can see Kirby asserting himself more and more.

J.M. DeMatteis @jmdematteis.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

At the same time, Kirby was unleashing all manner of brilliance in the pages of Thor—Greek gods, Colonizers from Rigel, High Evolutionary, Ego the living planet. Not to mention the brilliant Tales from Asgard backups. I'd call it all Kirby's peak, but that was still to come with the Fourth World.

J.M. DeMatteis @jmdematteis.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Kirby is doing things he's never done before and Stan is right there with him, sharpening his dialogue, purpling his prose to perfection, adding layers of awe and emotion. It remains one of the greatest arcs in comics history.

The earlier FFs are lots of fun, wildly imaginative (if often goofy by today's standards), but by the time they reach the first Galactus/Surfer story, Jack and Stan are working on another plane entirely.

J.M. DeMatteis @jmdematteis.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Been rereading some classic 60s Marvels, especially Lee-Kirby FF and Thor, and it's so inspiring watching the evolution of Kirby's craft and imagination, in both art and writing (and, yes, he was very much co-writer on those books).

I wrote for the 80s Zone and I agree. Nothing touches the original.
