Just realized I got ripped off big-time by a toy-seller at SDCC this year, and there was another that was also running a scheme so craven it was insane. I loved going and seeing everyone, but man I gotta stay off the floor next time. This is really just a story about me being a mark!
Having one of those days where I feel like my brain is a Cardassian holding me prisoner telling me there are five lights. This sounds like a joke but it’s extremely painful and isolating and exhausting and it’s been going on since 5pm yesterday. Anyway there are four lights
Even if it was solely LHO, who knew what, who was aware, and were any other actors involved at any point re: the JFK assassination. The full picture. Also whatever the heck happened to those guys who got off Alcatraz in ‘62. Although I have theories:
G. Willow Wilson@gwillow.me · 6d agoWhat's your personal great white whale of an unsolved mystery? The thing you desperately hope is solved before you die because you need to know the answer? Mine is the Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum heist. Where the hell are the Rembrandts. I need the full story
T-12 days until I go back to work, time to lock in on this new course
Oh Jesus, Glen Hansard. Saw the Frames in concert more than 20 years ago and I’ll never forget the band transitioning from “Star Star” into “Pure Imagination” from Willy Wonka. RIP.

If you’re looking for something to do Saturday night, I will be talking with legendary director Gregory Nava after the screening of EL NORTE at MOMA. See you there! Please share if you can, would love to see some friends in the audience. www.moma.org/calendar/eve...
At 19 years of age, Alex Toth landed work for the Green Lantern book. During this, he became very ill and stressed about deadlines. His mother called the offices and he soon received this letter.
Stray SDCC observation: love the retro WWF toy displays dripping in nostalgia, but my theory is bc Hogan became such a problem, the key art on the booths is heavy Roddy Piper now. Like he’s the new face of 80’s wrestling. More Rowdy toys premiere every year. And honestly, I see this as a huge win.

It snuck out during the Gotham panel, but @mikeshenderson.bsky.social & I will soon bring you GANGS OF GOTHAM—a tour of the rough streets of the East End, its turf wars, its chaos. Anarky Jim Gordon Steph Brown Holly Robinson Motorcycle Duels THE WARRIORS and STREETS OF FIRE set in Gotham. 🦇
Very happy Star Trek takes up this much of the IDW booth, in particular the new characters “sad guy with beard,” “Bajoran lady,” “shaved head Cardassian,” and “sassy Romulan.” You’ll meet them all 9/23 for Star Trek Day!
Every award given last night was to someone phenomenally deserving. From retailers to artists to writers to lifetime awards, it bowled me over every time. Every speech that went hard, made us laugh, or kept it simple… Comics is just an amazing group of folks. And the books are that damn good.
