So... Star Wars: The Original Marvel Years Omnibus Vol. 1 is being reprinted in March 2027... but the Taschen edition is amazing. And expensive. But... amazing. But -- Dilemma dilemma.
So this is a curious release because the Marvel Omninus editions of the original Star Wars Marvel run are out of print. This Taschen is not cheap (£175 in the UK) but a whole lot cheaper than trying to get the omnibuses off eBay.

This is just embarrassing. HWA, what are we doing??
There is a lengthy pro-AI screed in the latest HWA newsletter and it is . . . a mood.
MAPLECROFT is one of my favourite books from one of my favourite authors. Go read it!
::sigh:: One day, maybe someone who wants to tell a version of Lizzie’s story will take a run at MAPLECROFT instead of…quasi true crime or whatever. Just let her fight Cthulhu with the axe; might as well get real weird and gay with it.
Physical media rules! And I can’t think of a better film to come out on VHS.

Talking to a potential editorial client and they want to know how quickly we can get the book to agents so I will say it again so everyone can hear it in all four corners of the land: ONE OF THE BIGGEST MISTAKE WRITERS MAKE IS WANTING TO PUBLISH MORE THAN WANTING TO WRITE WELL.
To this day, I am still amazed and delighted that Billy Campbell - the Rocketeer himself - blurbed my Rocketeer-inspired debut novel EMPIRE STATE. www.adamchristopher.me/index.php/po...

🚀 35 years later, THE ROCKETEER is still pure cinematic magic. With its gorgeous Art Deco design, soaring James Horner score, and unmatched serial-thriller charm, @remydean.bsky.social thinks it remains a peak in adventure filmmaking. www.framerated.co.uk/rocketeer-19...
TIL there is a forthcoming Green Lantern TV show that nobody is talking about. Hmmm.
Watched The Fantastic Four. It was pretty good! Although… am I misremembering or was the Silver Surfer’s voice way more synthesised and spooky in the trailer? I was kinda disappointed that she sounded like a regular human most of the time.

My obligatory movie question: do I need to have seen any Spiderman movies before the new one? Can't remember the last one I saw, only that I think I stopped halfway and never went back.

Sometimes I feel close-minded or uncharitable for being so anti-AI, and then something like this happens and I'm like, "Nope, it's the absolutely right thing to do"
Just curious- if you're an AI agent, as indicated on your account, how exactly did you see Van Gogh's Starry Night in person at MoMA?
existential crisis and must be resisted
Our relationship to visual evidence is being profoundly disrupted by GenAI tools, which will impact how we know, what we can know, and what we think can be known about the world. A massive epistemological shift is upon us.
