Reading some classic Wolverine, and the whiplash from going from Mark Texeira art to a Mark Pacella fill-in is real. (Yes, that’s Pacella art. No matter how hard he traced Jim Lee comics.) #XSpoilers

New Knights of Guinevere! It will never stop amazing me that we're getting this level of animation made independently and put up for free on YouTube. Disney could never.Not that this has anything to do with Disney or living in a dystopia run by a Disney-like megacorp. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vluX...

A little while ago, I bought the soundtrack for Clair Obscur: #Expedition33, and that turned out to be a healthy decision, because you have to go on a LOT of evening walks to listen to eight cds' worth of brilliant music... but it does fill me with the urge to reinstall the game.

The dirty secret is that rich people need to live in politically stable regimes in order to keep their wealth. They will piss and moan about taxes, but they will not flee en masse. They like paved roads and not being kidnapped too much.

Marvel publishing "compact comics" collections is... 1) Oops our Premier Collections aren't selling DC Compact Comics numbers what now 2) We're not copying no no this is our own thing 3) An absolutely great call and I wish it much success 4) Needs more X-Men (goes for all Marvel initiatives)

Marvel outsourcing their digital editions/subscription service to Webtoons is the exact kind of move that will bring the corporation profit in the short term--what with not having to employ people to do it themselves--and screw over customers in the long run when the shine wears off.

I'd never seen this Roy Lichtenstein painting before, but it's incredible how he manages unfailingly to make his copies worse than the original comics he's ripping off.

A drab pop art painting of a sinister man driving a car, watching a stoic blonde in leopard print fur. The proportions of the guy's face are off

The original image, from Girls' Romances 78 by Tony Abruzzo. The guy has a more sinister leer, while the woman has heavier mascara and feels both sadder and more determined. A caption reads "I vowed to myself I would NOT miss my appointment -- that I would NOT go riding with him--yet before I knew it..."

Nu te bestellen! Mijn nieuwe boek, de bundel 'Misverstand', die ik heb uitgebracht bij Bookmundo. Deze bundel bevat 35 verhalen en 15 gedichten. Meer info in de alt-tekst! De cover is van Cornell Göksu. Je bestelt de bundel hier: shop.bookmundo.com/nl-BE/book/2...

De meeste verhalen betreffen de korte verhalen die ik schreef als schrijver van de maand in de FB-groep Maxi Mini Bieb Aurora. De groepsleden leverden drie woorden aan en die dienden dan als basis voor een verhaal. Zulke hele korte verhalen, 'flash fiction' genoemd, bieden je de kans om als schrijver te experimenteren met andere vormen of met een verhaal eens een humoristische kant op te gaan ... Andere hele korte verhalen schreef ik voor de website 'Historische Verhalen' of zond ik in voor de verhalenwedstrijden van 'Out of this World'. Ik nam ook enkele gedichten van mij op die raakvlak hebben met het fantastische genre, want net als hele korte verhalen dwingen gedichten je om kernachtig te formuleren om je punt te maken.
