Mark O. Stack @markwwc.bsky.social · 06/10/2026It's about the violence of growing up, the fear of speaking your own thoughts, feeling stupid for struggling, and how hard it is to like the person you chose to become every day. And, yeah, it's about a knight who goes searching for The Grail. That's still there. 040
Mark O. Stack @markwwc.bsky.social · 06/10/2026The writing of this comic was born from me reaching a point in my life where I was hit with the concern that I had followed the path of least resistance for too long. I listened to the wrong voices and learned all the wrong lessons. And I wanted to make a comic about how it felt to be a young man. 170

Mark O. Stack @markwwc.bsky.social · 03/10/2026If you're teaching a comic in an English class, I do think it's important to have your students attempt to redraw a page at least once as part of building their visual analysis skills. It does a lot to encourage them to think more actively about each line as a conscious decision from the cartoonist. 1172
Mark O. Stack @markwwc.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I wish there was a little more to the movie, but it's under two hours and has a pretty clear eye. 110
Mark O. Stack @markwwc.bsky.social · 03/10/2026There's a shot of a character standing in front of a wall of missing persons posters while the crew plan their sting operation with the police, and the weight of knowing that nothing they're doing will help find those people or undo any harm is devastating. 060
Mark O. Stack @markwwc.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Watched PRIMETIME last night. Much more Zero Dark Thirty than I expected. A look at an America driven insane by the realization that there was very little we could do to prevent small or large scale tragedy so we manufacture the conditions in which we can feel like heroes. 250

Mark O. Stack @markwwc.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I do want to say that I am very sympathetic to the desire to defend the romance genre and readership because it so often IS an unfair punching bag for people who want to make their space seem more legitimate in comparison. 061
Mark O. Stack @markwwc.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I very briefly edited some articles Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou was writing waaaay back in the day about comics craft, and that did not last very long at all because that dude has an amazing comics brain that far outshines my own. One of the best you can read on the actual craft of visual storytelling. 061

Mark O. Stack @markwwc.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I can't believe I ever logged in and "discoursed" as an almost daily matter on Twitter back when that site was functional. Profound waste of precious time when I could have been learning how to make a fly fishing lure. 140
Mark O. Stack @markwwc.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I think in fairness to her, it's less that she picked one genre and more that was responding specifically to an article she was sharing about a rating system for how explicit content in romance is. 151

Mark O. Stack @markwwc.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I didn't read her tweet as condemning the genre or the people working in it so much as identifying that there are audiences who care more about consuming than they do experiencing the art form. Which is pretty apparent from the fact that we have to deal with the spectre of AI at all. 1271
Mark O. Stack @markwwc.bsky.social · 01/10/2026What Joyce Carol Oates said about a swath of romance readers is true about a lot of speculative fiction and cape comics readers. A portion of those audiences show up for formula, do not want an authorial stamp, and would gladly consume AI content so long as it checked the right boxes. 3506
