Damn, Dex's mom is a badass.

you know how they say poetry doesn't always have to rhyme?

This. This is my "cellar door" "My dad sure had a lot of enemies-- --for a dead man."

Lana goddamn Wachowski, be serious!

I'm sorry, what? I was here when I learned the lead was half ghost. I was here when he started fighting demons by splatting them with globs of ectoplasm that looked way too much like cum. Now you're gonna tell me six issues in that Dex was short for "Ambidextrous"? No, Lana! I refuse!

Reading a 30 year old comic from a short lived Marvel imprint and discovering I can't finish a story because it's a crossover between two books is somehow the most Marvel shit in history.

Friends, I am here to tell you that you shouldn't have to read a comic book to know that if a worm in a top hat named Tequila tells you to lean down so he can whisper in your ear...DON'T FUCKING DO IT!

This is just what it looks like when a dude is good at medicating okay? That's his soul coming out of his body, not a rain of jizz pouring down onto him. I can't believe you thought that, you perverts.

It's Ectokid issue 4 and he already has Wolverine's hair and eyepatch.

Lana, Steve - could we not?

Hmmm? No, normal comic stuff. Just Edgar Allen Poe and Cyrano De Bergerac sword fighting demons.

dialog like this is what you come to comics for, my friends.

Ladies and gentlemen of the midnight society...

English writers writing Americans from the south:

And there it is, three issues in: the secret reason why I decided to read this comic

Reading comics from Clive Barker's "Razorline" at Marvel for...reasons. I do wonder if any of the the creators who worked on this book remember ANYTHING about this book.

"Meet Dex Mungo, sometimes thief, full-time street rat, half-human and half-ghost. Enter his realm: The Ectosphere -- a wondrous and often deadly place of fantasy, horror, and gritty action, between here and the hereafter."

I am reading a cool indie comic from 1993

Okay, so, my wife's birthday was yesterday. A few weeks back, I asked how she would feel about just having a night out to eat sushi and watch a movie. She loved that idea and I noticed Regal has a mystery movie playing that night. What a great idea, roll the dice, go in blind. Could be fun.

One of the funny things about being a writer, especially when you show people outlines, pitches, and scripts that have never been published is they come back to you with things like "I have questions about the part where--" But you don't remember that story beat and just have to say "me too!"

I realized recently that I'd been confusing/conflating two different series that I do not read. And though they have similar elements... It seems Wings of Fire and Fourth Wing are very different book series.

One of the weirdest things about getting old is recognizing people that you would have absolutely fallen in love with when you were fifteen and instead feeling the need to adopt them and look out for them...

How do you tell a person that their description of themselves as a teenager is the protagonist of a series of YA books you would have absolutely killed for?

I am watching a very strange film from soviet era Ukraine. It's called Viy and...boy, it's something.

Where is the "please fuck off" button? How magical that i was selected by a no-reply email address for some shit i don't want.

Just finished watching Argento's Tenebre for the first time and I can't decide if I love it or hate it when a movie introduces an important piece of media into their story that "could help us solve this crime" just for nobody to ever attempt to solve the crime using that media.

Today is the birthday of cartoonist Jackie Ormes (Aug. 1, 1911-Dec. 26, 1985), the first Black woman to create a newspaper comic strip that was read nationally in the US. She created Torchy Brown in Dixie to Harlem, Torchy in Heartbeats & Patty-Jo ‘n’ Ginger. Patty Jo became a toy doll.

Alicia: How'd your wrestling go? Did they cure ALS? ME: Well, it didn't look like they were going to, but then The Insane Clown Posse showed up to help. A: That sounds like an episode of Scooby-Doo. Me: Turns out the cure was blunts and magnets. A: Whoa, how do they work? . I love my wife
