That zombie chase scene in #LastOfUsHBO was something special. I need to just rewatch that scene. That was just fantastic horror.

Resharing my Thunderbolts review

So a few months ago I could barely walk with a broken and shattered kneecap. After surgery, recovery, months of PT… today I did a full 5K and then some. I am extremely proud of myself for not giving up. Feels really good to accomplish something this big when it felt impossible.

For #StarWars Day, I wanted to share our most listened to @gatecrashers.bsky.social episode once again. Our original Star Wars audio drama “Star Wars: Wild Space” with full cast, score, and all things Star Wars. Check it out in the thread below! #StarWarsDay

I only brought pink and purple pens to Free Comic Book Day.

Playing Magic for the first time

As some people may know, we rescued this creature after Scarlett’s grandparents passed. His name is “Frodo” but I believe in my heart of hearts that his name was meant to be “Salacious B. Crumb”. Please sound off in the comments which name is more fitting for him.

I was grabbing a link to post for tomorrow but remembered when @gatecrashers.bsky.social did a full ass CRISIS musical episode. It has a will they won’t they romance between Mr Freeze and I, Jake as a grizzled resistance leader, and Darkseid being defeated by dong open.spotify.com/episode/7sfT...

Friday repost! Come join us this month for Comic Book club! Share this to help spread the word!

Shout out to @readtinyonion.bsky.social for the beautiful Friday afternoon reading material for Dinah, Frodo, and I on a quick work break to drink in some sun. (First foot is free)

I truly enjoyed this film. I am far enough out of my burnout and writing funk that I have begun to write about film again! Check it out. If you're on the fence about giving the MCU another go, let me persuade you to at least let the Thunderbolts into your heart.

Last night we discussed The Power Fantasy and it was great! I thought everyone had some fun insight and I'm looking forward to rereading after talking about it for a while. You should join us!

I had the chance to get a sneak peak at @hackintimseeley.bsky.social and @nikolacizmesija.bsky.social ‘s Godzilla book “Godzilla Kai Sei” from @idwpublishing.com It wasn’t lettered yet but everything had such a unique feeling to it that set the tone for the Kai Sei comic era of Godzilla. Thread!

I’m so sorry to everyone at Polygon. Valnet is a horrible company.

I finally locked into reading "Absolute Superman," which I loved. There is a great deal to unpack about the series and its retooling of everything. It's so many big swings that I enjoyed. Everything clicked for me in Issue 6, character-wise, though. Ma and Pa are the glue to Superman for me.

Tonight’s comic club was wonderful as usual! We talked about hell is empty, there was kittens, I complained Vol 1 didn’t have enough of my goth queen, and we had a great discussion about constructions and deconstructions of comics. I genuinely look forward to this every month and love this crew.
