I make some YouTube shows about comic book artists’ and writers’ techniques and history. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-dGYF1il5OP0lNHChHdhzg
This was really cool. They transported me right back to my childhood, talking about comics with friends, reading onomatopoeia aloud, only with more technical discussion!

Quality Comics has some memorable superheroes in the Golden Age. This isn’t about them. It’s about two weirdos with bizarre powers. One had a bee and one could whistle. In the 40s, that meant you fought crime! youtu.be/wgmVb42u2o4?...

The Whistler. A man who realized he could creep people out by the way he whistled, so he decided to become a vigilante. It’s just what folks did in the 40s.
This past week, Marvel announced Stephen Wacker will soon take over as Editor in Chief. I thought the time was right to look back at the 14 Editors-in-Chief from Marvel’s past and assign them a ranking. Sure to make everyone agree! youtu.be/8KEjTZcQS1E?...

He's credited by Japan's cultural historians as having personally saved enormous amounts of folklore from being completely lost, too. Hundreds of yokai legends are only known now because he collected them from remote communities that are themseles often gone.

The Doomsday trailer was fun without giving too much away. Lots of characters but not every character. Doom has an accent. I’m tentatively excited.
It’s a new episode of Comic Tropes! There’s so many manga I adore. But this is about one I do not. I find it creepy. youtu.be/Z1t7tC2RRkE?...

Holy crap. Xolo is confirmed by actual trade publications to return as Blue Beetle in Man of Tomorrow.
Oh no. I thought Sam Neill was going well. How sad to hear that he passed today. Beyond Jurassic Park, I like some of his weirder horror movies like In the Mouth of Madness and Possession. Hunt for the Wilderpeople is also really good. And I have a soft spot for Event Horizon.

Every night I try to convince myself not to go away, to find a reason to keep going. It’s so hard. I keep busy to not let myself get too depressed. I think I need to add a new challenge. I want to publish some stories. We’ll see if that brings any relief.
