I never expected to have to spend this much time telling angry people who think we printed a photo of the wrong John Byrne in the new X-Men Elsewhen book that it is the correct John Byrne, the same one who sent me the photo in the first place. And they still don’t believe it.
In today's Hollywood Reporter, John Byrne and I talk up next week's release of X-Men Elsewhen Vol 1 (that is John pictured at the link, not me...). Thanks to HR's Borys Kit for the conversation. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Very sad news about the passing of Marjane Satrapi. Persepolis is such an amazing and important work.
Just checked into a hotel in West LA and bumped into this guy in the elevator. I told him that I was voting for him… to push the button for the 9th floor. Otherwise, I’m still undecided.
ROM #0 was released for Free Comic Book Day on this day in 2016. Yes, ten years ago I received fingers. Thank you to @chrisryall.bsky.social, @christosgage.bsky.social, @damess.bsky.social, and the rest of the team for returning me to print after so long, albeit changed some.
Very sorry to hear about the passing of Gerry Conway today. Thanks to my older brother's comic collection, Gerry's Spider-Man was the first version I ever experienced, and then I got a Gerry Spider-Man of my own when he returned to the character in the mid'80s. Always loved his stuff.

Happy birthday to dear Francis Coppola, whose positivity, creativity, and humanism deserves a day of celebration and not a day clouded by ludicrous threats from someone who's lacking in all three of those things.
This is crushing news. Oh Sam. What a sweet, sensitive, talented, empathetic, and lovely human Sam was.
