The answer is of course I will be there. I need to make sure my store will be able to get the preview book.

Here is a thing about art. Some of it is not for you. Not everything your favorite does will be a home run and people can be terrible. That is why a case by case evaluation is vital.

This is a fantastic overview of Mr. Hama’s strengths as a creator as well as a celebration of someone that can be a steady hand in comics. Makes me want to go and buy some of these books.

I appreciate this type of news filled with joy and whimsy!

This was a great piece. The thing that as much as a pain it is for publishers to have this type of data out there it would also be helpful in regarding readers being able to see what books need support.

I am amused enough to order. Looking forward to it my guy!

I have thoughts about that Lanterns teaser. It’s fine. It understands that it is an HBO show and it has to start with human character stakes before it turns into weird Green Lantern sci-fi silliness. Comics fans need to trust the process.

At the tender age of almost 48 I have figured out the sweet spot for coffee is at 3 cups. 4 is too much unless I have a short project deadline.

That dude really needs to settle his vendettas with a steel cage match. Paul is one of those cats that is wish would stay away from a keyboard.

I am not a fan of government censorship. The Seduction of the Innocent era has come back. This is a terrible idea being repackaged against LGBTQ literature. Fuck that shit.

This new Gorillaz album is a calming delight. It is a definite vibe.

Those books were phenomenal. Those samplers got me into the books that I was not reading when I was a teen.

Kicking off a rapture scenario just to escape being a sex creep is some wild behavior.

This finale has lingered in my head forever.

This amuses me a great deal. I truly love that for you.

Y’all know owning Warner Bros. is not as easy a thing to do. If it was easy, why has it been sold so often? My theory: it’s a cursed thing that will eventually break what tried to control it.

The perfect photoshop image has been created.

The vibe on WGN news has definitely been a bit of a bummer. It feels like the on-air talent are wondering who among them is next. The firings of the staff was a sign that news may not manner, but entertainment does.

I wake up every day and ask myself a simple question: What Fresh Hell Awaits! It preps you for the worst and you get progressively more delighted with life as the day progresses because it allows for a daily reset of stress and expectation.

Look forward to ordering this later in the month. This will be fire!

Last I heard in Illinois, you need to prove residency to vote. When you do mail at home you need to verify in wet ink the address when you mail it in as well as the time you lived in the address. Seems like a good amount of steps for security.

This is a wise investment in home decor. Check out the prices first before pulling the wallet out.

I never thought humanity will get to a place where vaccinations are problematic, but nose candy on a toilet is sound medical advice.

Had my first cigar fo 2026. Turns out that I missed the calming ritual of the cigar experience.

The book is a pleasure to read. Bringing the vibes of late 90’s/early 00’s Batman comics and making it fresh takes a true talent.

Here is a thing that I have had an issue with AI, and it comes to a sci-fi comparison. People were hoping for Star Trek in the application, but it will eventually be a Terminator/Blade Runner world. William Gibson Cyberpunk would be nice, but folks gum the works up.

I try to look at the lighter side of life and realized that Swamp Thing 1989 will be a comic event I never thought would happen, but I am thrilled that I have lived to see the 80’s run to close out in the planned ending.

I am locked in for this book. You and Steve are a great talent pairing!

Everyday, in every way, America fails to understand that β€œcrusaders” do not follow laws, but in the faith of the powerful and malicious. Yesterday also tosses out that 2nd amendment is for everyone idea out of the picture as well. The goons think they are urban warriors sent to purify. Very gross.
