This time next week I'll be headed out to Terrificon @terrificon.bsky.social in Connecticut! I'll be signing all three days at Table N5 in the main hall, and I'll be doing my "Legacy of Tim Burton's Batman" talk and slideshow Saturday at 3 in Room C. See you there! #terrificon #starwars #batman

Heading home from GalaxyCon Raleigh, one of my most successful conventions ever, with a great crowd for my presentation and not a single book left on the table. My thanks to the GalaxyCon team, to Katie Dunn as always, and to Jeff Martin, our local hero. Next up: Connecticut and my first TerrifiCon!

Lastday at GalaxyCon Raleigh — good thing we held some books back for Sunday or we’d have none at all. Come on by here at table 838 for #Batman, #StarWars and more! #galaxyconraleigh

Honored that BATMAN: REVOLUTION has received the Scribe Award for Best Media Tie-In Novel (Speculative Fiction) from the International Association of Media Tie-in Writers. My thanks to editor Tom Hoeler @darthinternous.bsky.social, Random House, Warner Bros., and DC for making the project possible.

We‘re underway at #GalaxyConRaleigh! I‘ve at last met David Michelinie, legendary writer of Iron Man, Star Wars, and more. His “Demon in a Bottle” issue was my first Iron Man comic as a kid; his Star Wars work drew me back to collecting comics once and for all. I’m at booth 838; he’s at table 647.

Find me and @ethansacks.bsky.social at GalaxyCon Raleigh, all four days! We are at tables 838 and 840 in the exhibit hall. I’ve got BOTH Old Republic omnibuses, while supplies last! #galaxyconraleigh #starwars #startrek #batman

Find me this weekend at #GalaxyconRaleigh! Find me at my table all four days in the Comics Professionals section of the main exhibit hall — and I’ll be doing my “Rule the Galaxy Together: Writing in a Shared Universe” talk Friday at 1:45 in Panel Room 2. See you there! #starwars #startrek #batman

I've seen LOGAN'S RUN and HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER a combined zillion times, but only today on what would've been his 89th birthday did I realize the Richard Jordan who played Francis-7 is the same Richard Jordan who's the national security advisor. I'm that lousy a viewer and he's that good an actor!

Just announced: I'll be finishing off my 2026 travel season this December 4-6 at GalaxyCon Columbus. Looking forward to seeing everyone there! #galaxyconcolumbus

Starting on Thursday, I'll be at GalaxyCon Raleigh! Find me at my table all four days (booth number coming soon) — and I'll be doing my "Rule the Galaxy Together: Writing in a Shared Universe" talk Friday at 1:45 in Panel Room 2. See you there! #starwars #startrek #batman #GalaxyConRaleigh

Riddle me this: What does Joe Friday have in common with Batman? Not much, but his badge number, 714, is the release date of the trade paperback of BATMAN: REVOLUTION, my second novel set between Tim Burton’s BATMAN and BATMAN RETURNS films. 544 pages! Find it everywhere on July 14! #Batman

70 years ago, Elvis Presley played a benefit at Russwood Park in Memphis — and my late mother, just out of high school, was an usher collecting for the Cynthia Milk Fund. She never forgot it but had no photos, so it was fun to find a page about the show. www.elvispresleymusic.com.au/pictures/195...

Sorry to learn that Dave Kendall, who created the 120 MINUTES show on MTV, has passed. The Sunday night show was MTV's alternative or "college radio" entry, introducing a slew of bands to me and a lot of other people. A very important show in music history. ew.com/dave-kendall...

Dave Kendall, host of MTV’s music program ‘120 Minutes,’ dies

Dave Kendall, who created and hosted MTV’s ‘120 Minutes’ from the late ‘80s to early ‘90s, has died, fellow MTV host Matt Pinfield said: ‘He gave a home to music that deserved to be heard.’

Invasion of the Canadian Cloud Creature! The smoke from the Canadian wildfires has arrived in Wisconsin. Hazy at noon and getting worse. I can forget about backyard astronomy for a while!

Why legislate a fix for Daylight Savings? All we need is to find someone to stop the Earth from tilting. Voila!

I'm at GalaxyCon Raleigh in a couple of weeks, so I won't be at San Diego — but a fun memory from there was 2013, when in advance of the KENOBI novel release I was inducted into The Rebel Legion in front of the big Del Rey display. Obi-Wan photobombed nearly every picture I have from that year!

Look, it's our baby boy, @shamm.bsky.social!

McFarlane Toys DC Direct Page Punchers 7-inch 1989 Comic Batman, preorders open tomorrow (7/9).

Pretty clear night at last here in Wisconsin — here’s the M8, the Lagoon Nebula. Feels like it should come with Patrick MacNee doing a voiceover about the Battlestar Galactica. #astronomy

My family always went to the Smoky Mountains over the July Fourth weekend, so this was me in front of a roadside X-Wing in a motel parking lot in Cherokee, North Carolina. Post-Empire, I'd guess. Not a perfect model, but less tacky than some of the roadside attractions back then! #starwars #july4th

With the weekend underway (for many), I finally discuss the naming of BATMAN: REVOLUTION, which takes place during the Fourth of July and uncovers the hidden Revolutionary War past of Gotham City. Discover it for yourself this weekend — it’s on sale now! #batman #july4th #batmanrevolution #writing

My #StarWars THE LIVING FORCE novel set before Phantom Menace was a case where I realized early on what title I liked, and I was delighted that we got it. There had already been a novel called THE UNIFYING FORCE from James Luceno, but the title owed more to a different book, as I discuss.

This was a very fun one for me: the story behind the title of my story for the #PlanetOfTheApes TALES FOR THE FORBIDDEN ZONE anthology. It remains one of my favorite stories I’ve written, drawing on my obsession with television history. Worth finding a copy! #writing

Here’s some of the thinking that went into the title for BATMAN: RESURRECTION, my first novel set between the Tim Burton movies. I’m sure you have your own ideas that fit the “Batman Returns” pattern; on a hot day like today, “Batman Refrigerates” sounds good! #batman #batmanresurrection #writing

The title for my first streaming-era novel, #StarTrek DISCOVERY: THE ENTERPRISE WAR, was a case where I landed on the right title, but for the wrong reason — a reason that would impact the cover choice. I explain my mistake here! #writing #startrekdiscovery #StrangeNewWorlds

I get asked now and again about how I come up with my book titles. I’m rarely asked specifically about the title process for #StarWars KENOBI from Random House Worlds, although as you’ll hear, it was more complicated than you might think! #writing #kenobi #obiwankenobi

Honored that BATMAN: REVOLUTION was named by the International Association of Media Tie-In Writers as a finalist for the Scribe Award in the category of Best Original Tie-In Novel - Speculative Fiction. I’m humbled to be included with so many fantastic authors and works! Nominee list follows: /1

Scheduling conflicts have kept me out of the Joliet Library Star Wars Day for the last couple of years, but I always liked visiting the historical museum there — and seeing what the fans did to it. This was ten years ago: I think the Tusken wanted to know which way Jake and Elwood went.

Starlog returns! Coincidentally, I had just posted a film yesterday (a tad too long to post on BlueSky) where for the 37th anniversary of BATMAN I took a look at the Starlog issue that covered it: www.facebook.com/reel/2264693...

THE FUTURE IS BACK. Fifty years ago, STARLOG went behind the scenes of alternate worlds for the first time. Now it's back, exploring the visionary sci-fi and cutting-edge science that inspire what comes next. The future will be wild. You'll be ready for it because you read STARLOG.

this includes UNION, which was the marriage of Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade. And was a corker to write.

Last hour at @originsgamefair.bsky.social and it’s been insanely busy — so it’s nice to have a way to relieve stress at the table. Our thanks to Level Up Sabres for dropping by! #starwars #originsgamefair
