I don't care if you do include a head swap based on the deleted ending, NECA. This "Ultimate Figure" will never be complete without a Busta Rhymes figure to accompany it. #iykyk #halloweenresurrection

Remember when the Joker became an Iranian Ambassador in Death of the Family so he could gain diplomatic immunity after killing Jason Todd? Well, here's #markhamill 's version of that moment- from 1996's Legend of Robin audio drama!

Watched Fantastic Four: First Steps yesterday with my nephew- but I didn't wanna break my thoughts on it into Bluesky-sized chunks- so I wrote a whole Substack review on it! robmalone133296.substack.com/p/fantastic-...

I feel like such a nerd for admitting this, but I've been using the Tennant floor scrubber at the warehouse so often that I've put together a playlist for it. And guess which three songs are first on the list? That's right- Terran 1, 2, and 3 from Starcraft. youtu.be/-mzfnUIdzq4?...

Made a pair of custom ashcans of 90s books so I could have a physical reference for my own preview books: specifically Force Works and Doom's IV #1/2. I know ashcans are sometimes old hat, but I feel it really goes help me develop my craft and short story skills- like Kyle Higgins suggested.

Hot damn! You mean once this book comes out and I'm in my late 40s, I'll finally be able to Create Comics the Marvel Way?! Yeah... I think I'll stick with my copies of Scott McCloud and Denny O'Neil's guides to making/writing comics.

Started clipping bits from the DC Graphic Audio/BBC1 Audio Dramas and putting them with their comic pages- starting with Final Crisis and Death of Superman. It helps practice my editing skills, but hopefully it also raises awareness of these great actors/performances. youtu.be/qldlBJbPqjI?...

Been zig-zagging around the Herndon/Sterling area while the electrical company looks for places to put us red-hats to good use. On one hand, it's putting my adaptability to the test... but since we've got an extra hour of sleep back (showing up to work at 6AM instead of 5), I'll happily take it.

Recently finished listening to 52's adaptation by Graphic Audio, now moving on to Countdown- one of the most infamous messes in the history of DC Comics. I already know it's less bad because it cuts certain things out like in 52, but how much did Greg Cox improve the book? That's what I wanna know.

Really cheesed off to see the excellent Judge Dredd #2000AD audio series by #bigfinish vanish off the face of the earth from Internet Archive. Unless the rights holders are planning to RE-RELEASE them in a more convenient and accessible format (ie: Audible), then it's essentially digital erasure.

It's kind of absurd how hard it is to get ahold of the #dccomics Graphic Audio Dramas compared to Marvel. I can find Days of Future Past and Planet Hulk easily on Audible, but great stuff like No Man's Land, 52, and Green Lantern: Sleepers? I have to buy a Google Drive link from a 3rd party website.

Rob Malone @robmalone2099.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

Just listened to Graphic Audio's version of Batman: No Man's Land, adapted by @gregrucka.com and #dccomics. It's a really well-written and voice-acted two-parter, though that also means the combined story is eleven hours. "A Movie in Your Mind", my ass- this was like binging an entire TV season!

Found this obscure pic of Jack Kirby's Female Furies by John K Snyder III. Been working on a pitch for a miniseries featuring Darkseid and Granny Goodness' shock troops, and this piece really captures the vibe I was going for: a fearsome five-woman force of nature forged by the fires of Apokolips.

Prepping to do some heavy writing during an upcoming vacation, so I'm changing the water in my reference pool with some fresh books. I'll be visiting WildStorm with Jim Lee/Brandon Choi's Stormwatch and Gen¹³, then Valiant Comics with Solar and their acclaimed Unity crossover. #imagecomics

Just finished a BBC4 Radio Adaptation of Ray Bradbury's "The Martian Chronicles", with a very chilling performance by Hayley Atwell as a gender-swapped version of the anthropologist Spender. She really drove home the cold intensity and outrage against the humans invading the dead ruins of Mars.

Been listening to both the All the Pouches and Spawnometer podcasts during work, and hearing all those early Image books I read in high school (Team Youngblood, Bloodstrike, Supreme, Shadowhawk) seen through fresh eyes has reawakened my love of the '90s' electric nature.

I would be remiss not to thank my penciller/inker Nick Justus, and colorist Nathan Lawson, for helping to bring this weird world to life. No matter how good of an idea they have on paper, a writer should always enjoy seeing an artist bring the final result to life in ways they never saw coming.

It's funny how my relationship with the 1993 Super Mario Movie has evolved- I used to think it was just a weird oddity that sucked on toast, but the movie actually becomes a lot more enjoyable if you just stop hoping it'll be a Mario movie and treat it like a weird alternate universe flick.

Listened to "Maximum Sound", an audio adaptation of The Maxx #1-3, at work yesterday. Brought my mind back to the Maxx MTV animated series, especially since the producer admitted Sam Keith showed it to them as they were laying down the groundwork for the mood and voicework.

Been doing a lot of research and discussions on vampires for a character I'm looking to introduce. Lots of emphasis on personal horror, secret lives like a ticking time bomb, how movies have influenced our view of the supernatural, and the border between good-natured hero and undead predator.

Just realized that at one point I had three copies of Days of Future Past- one of which I gave to my nephew for Christmas. Whenever I see one of these lil books for sale on the cheap, I snap 'em up so I can use them as player handouts for the "Nightmares of Future Past" campaign I'm planning.

Damn, this redesign for Triton I stumbled across on the Marvel Wiki goes HARD. Gives me 2007 Bionicle or Ratchet & Clank vibes. Marvel seemed to have slept on John Timms' work, so I'm glad he's been getting plenty of exclusive work at DC. www.johntimmsart.com

Rereading Doom 2099 and this panel from #15 still gives me chills every time I read it. The fact that the megacorp-run world of 2099 has somehow been abandoned by alien powers really captures the essence of classic 2099's mysterious isolation from the greater Marvel Universe.

Another positive to having no heat in the house- whenever I boot up Skyrim VR, it adds another layer of immersion! Actually makes me think about how Holodecks in stuff like Star Trek handles the atmosphere of harsh environments like deserts or jungles. Little dehumidifiers and really strong ACs?

Been running a tabletop RPG campaign based on Marvel's Civil War event using Mutants and Masterminds... and the sheer amount of continuity and tie-ins I decided to research has been ballooning my collection out of control. Though it's also introduced me to some GREAT stuff like Bendis' Alias run.

As someone whose only exposure to Judge Dredd was the two movies, the audio dramas have been an explosively entertaining crash-course to @2000ad.bsky.social . I wish the BBC1 and Big Finish series were more widely available, especially since Toby Longworth is, bar none, THE perfect voice for Dredd.

Ever since I started working in prefab construction, I've been relying on audiobooks/dramas to get me through work- keeps my brain stimulated while my hands and eyes concentrate on bolting steel together. Just finished the SW Dark Empire drama, moving onto Starcraft Ghost: Spectres. Good stuff.

Furnace broke down during this winter season, so it's going to be a long weekend of wearing a ski suit on the couch, sleeping in layers, and having my thermal energy sapped by everything I touch. On the plus side, the cold helps me concentrate, so this should be a productive weekend.
