A Special Edition of @thefanbaseweekly.bsky.social: A #FanbaseFeature Retrospective on the 10th Anniversary of ‘Ex Machina’ (2015) with @davidbooher.bsky.social @artebuen.bsky.social @comicbooksniffer.bsky.social & Claire Thorne This Month's Sponsor: @comix.one

Spoiler-free #THUNDERBOLTS* thoughts... The film is a bit "wobbly" at times, but has that #Marvel "heart" at the core and powers through on that strength and the charisma of the characters and their interactions. #Pugh is phenomenal per usual. This film is a lot sadder than anticipated.

At this point I'm honestly just calling my reps and bluntly saying you're old between the two of us I'm the one more likely to survive an ecoli infection. Maybe do something about this.

A little peek at what I was working on during Tuesday night’s #drawing session. Thank you to @artebuen.bsky.social for being my fellow pencil jockey once more.

I am no longer with Polygon, my home for nearly 13 years. I am proud of what my colleagues and I have accomplished over that period, and I am especially proud of the role the @voxmediaunion.bsky.social and @wgaeast.bsky.social played in it all. Organize. Now. I am immediately available for hire.

Anyone have something they’ve always wanted to ask about organizing a comics convention? I’m chatting with @3riverscomicon.bsky.social soon. Let me know.

Good luck America

LESS THAN 24 HOURS TO BACK STASH BOX, and I REALLY want this book!!! Let's make it happen. "It's adult-oriented horror about fragile youth, uncovered secrets, and the terror of transformation." Stash Box: A Psychedelic Suburban Horror, via @Kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/ian...

rewatched Revenge of the Sith in theaters for the 20th and unfortunately a universe with spaceships and blasters and droids where also women die in childbirth and the doctors are like “eh, it happens” no longer feels as ludicrously incongruous as it used to

Join Fanbase Press for the ‘Comics & Coffee’ Meetup on May 3, 2025, to Bridge the Convention Gap for Industry Pros #BuildYourCommunity

Is #Hollywood ready for Trump's #culturewar? Will #ALIENEARTH make fans scream? When will we get some legal regulation regarding the unchecked #illegal practices being used for the advancement of #AI? We chat about all this & more in the latest Ep of @thefanbaseweekly.bsky.social #podcast!

Just completely and undeniably pathetic. A guy who just loves to call others "losers," but can't help but act like a huge one himself.

Essential reading.

I love that this Trump toadie was at the helm of one of the biggest election debacles in memory, a 25 point lead and sure landslide that vanished in a cloud of Tangerine Mussolini's ravings. His master even cost him the seat in Parliament he's held for 21 years! Look to Canada. That's how it's done!

The first @fanbasepress.bsky.social Potluck was a blast! If you are looking for a fun afternoon with folks across all avenues of the comics industry, I hope that you'll join us!

Holeeeeeee shit. Give it up for @graphicpolicy.com reporting on a new bombshell. Why did Alliance bail on their Diamond purchase? Now we know. graphicpolicy.com/2025/04/29/a...

RIP indie comics pioneer Jack Katz. In 1974, he began The First Kingdom, a 24-issue, 768-page graphic novel that took Katz 12 years to complete. He envisioned it as a graphic novel, one of the first. It wasn't to my taste, I admit, but Katz deserves props for blazing the trail. He was 97.

Happy Genestealer Day! I mean Alien... Happy Alien Day!

"... #Ripley didn’t rely on brute force, but instead, survived through logic, caution, and above all else: compassion for her fellow survivors... fighting against the #monsters aboard, but also against human #greed, companies, and #androids whose scientific “mission” values profit over life."

Write this neat editorial piece about the history of H.R. Giger’s influence on Alien for @thefanbaseweekly.bsky.social A fun piece. I’m trying stuff, so check it out! fanbasepress.com/press/editor...

It was never just about schools, it was never just about libraries, and it isn't actually about the books. It's about finding a way to banish entire people, entire ideas, out of society, back into the closet or worse. www.chron.com/politics/art...
