Someday soon, Hollywood will pay a bunch of major stars an absurd amount of money to pump out a "prestige" adaptation of a Colleen Hoover book. And in 87 years, I hope to god we aren't made to believe its a canonical masterpiece or classic of the medium

I had a few professors that did the same thing! Really great way to distill information, especially when you're dealing with difficult or dense material

As a notoriously wordy motherfucker, 500 words is easy to arrive at The problem is staying contained to 500 words 🥲 But the challenge definitely helps refine the piece, making jt less repetitive or rambling

I hope everyone picked up IS TED OK? in its collected edition and is enjoying it massively. Def let someone know and give it a good rating on some outlet. I put a lot of time and effort into this book, which is one thing, fine, but it’s also pretty damn good to read.

New Tom King discourse, time to share my extended review of Animal Pound: King's weakest work and a window into his limits as a writer in our current political moment:
comicsbeat.com
Trade Rating: ANIMAL POUND by Tom King and Peter Gross is a modern Orwell reimagining
Today our reviewer takes a thorough look at Tom King and Peter Gross' Animal Pound, as well as its relation to George Orwell and more.

And also Helen of Wyndhorn, one of King's best works and a window into how he's evolved over the years:

When you spend several years lecturing and writing books on how we no longer publicly execute people and what that means for controlling a population, and then they just start doing public executions again

Rob Zombie Halloween has its hiccups but the scenes with young Michael and Loomis are so fascinating, a real strong argument to be made that Loomis creates Michael

The plagiarism machines are now adding real cartoonists' signatures to their AI generated slop
niemanlab.org
ChatGPT is adding real cartoonists’ signatures to fake New Yorker cartoons
OpenAI's chatbot isn't just imitating the magazine's style. It's also falsely attributing AI-generated images to real artists.

If I was DC, I would want to appeal the part of my brain that says "if I get both, I can be closer to owning all of Bronze Age Batman even faster!" but there's not a reason to do that

Steve Baxi @stevebaxi.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
This is the kind of stuff I really hate. If you're going to release 2 collections of the same era in the same week, please make a compelling case for why they're different. The omni gets you more for 3x the price but it doesn't complement the DC Finest

100% it gets caught up in its own continuity at a certain point that it stops caring about the characters in the present. Some of those later seasons are so maddening

A lot of the responses to Lanterns have only confirmed what I already learned from Star Wars: many nerds are genuinely incapable of engaging with these characters and stories beyond just action figures and toys being smashed together. Also, nerd shit being this mainstream was a mistake lol

In 2022, artist Dave McKean was AI-curious: so much that he made a whole comic book out of AI prompts. Now, four years later, he's sounding a very different, and ominous, note. At @flaminghydra.com, a conversation with Dave McKean on the future of technology and art.
