Ever drink from a can without looking — like you reach for it and pick it up and bring it to your mouth while your eyes are on a screen, for instance — and as you tip it up you realise too late that the opening is not where you thought it was and so it spills down your chin? Me either.

Gene Hackman’s performance as Lex Luthor quietly became my favourite thing about the Superman movies as I got older. RIP.

And for the final book of Phase 1, we needed @matttaylordraws.bsky.social to deliver an image of Darquesse the world-conquerer- and here she is. Out June 5th!

And lo! We have a cover featuring Skulduggery in something other than a perfect suit! Behold the new cover for Last Stand of Dead Men, by Matt Taylor, also out on June 5th!

Courtesy of @matttaylordraws.bsky.social, I present to you… the new cover for Kingdom of the Wicked, out on June 5th!

The glorious thing about these new editions is that not only do we have @matttaylordraws.bsky.social doing the artwork for the new books, it also gives us an excuse to have him do covers for all the OTHERS, as well.

Brand new covers for Books 7-9 coming at 1PM...

Can Colleen Wing survive a sword to the chest in the preview for The Infinity Watch #2 ( @dereklandy.bsky.social @ruairicoleman & more). On sale 2/19 from @MarvelComicsHQ. comic-watch.com/news/a-backs...

"Infinity Watch #2 takes a massive narrative risk that pays off with an intense and disorienting shift, making for an exhilarating and unpredictable read." @dereklandy.bsky.social @enidbalam.bsky.social #MarvelComics #NCBD Read @davidbrooke.bsky.social's review:

So cool!

My first time seeing this cover... oh it is PRETTY!

I love it!

Oh VERY cool...!

Approaching the end of The Dying of the Light, where Tanith fights the Black Cleaver, and the last thing she says is "I like your shoes," and I'm looking at it, going "What? Why the hell does she say this?" Because I have no idea.

Making my way through The Dying of the Light, correcting continuity errors and suchlike, and that fight between Val and Dai Maybury in/outside her house... good GOD that was vicious.

Oh my God, this Copilot thing appearing on my Word documents is... not cool. And is there a straightforward OFF button? No, there is not, because they want you to Google where to find it, thereby making money for advertisers, and then to eventually give up.

We had SO much trouble with “Christmastime with Romeo Gideon” on Spotify over the Xmas period- but now it’s officially back! Yes, true, Christmas has passed but it’s STILL CHRISTMAS IN MY HEART! open.spotify.com/episode/6HZX...

Aw shucks!

Laura just pointed out that the cover for our issue of Amazing Spider-Man 65.DEATHS reveals what it would be like if Skulduggery had been bitten by a radioactive spider…

This is an issue of Spder-Man where Peter is quite understandably depressed... but even a quiet, sad Peter Parker can still find time to make quiet, sad jokes...

Hmm, the cover dress for the One World Under Doom event is neat. #previews

Exclusive Preview: Phil Coulson, the new Embodiment Of Death Steps In To Help in The Amazing Spider-Man #65.DEATHS arrives on shelves & digital platforms on January 15, 2025, from @dereklandy.bsky.social #KevWalker @iacono_mattia #SpiderMan #8Deaths comic-watch.com/news/exclusi...

I was so happy when I saw @dereklandy.bsky.social work an Avengers cameo into Infinity Watch #1 (Any chance to draw Carol, Tony and Thor again is always a welcome one)

Wicked: it’s no Grease 2.

Reading through Marvel editor @tombrevoort.bsky.social’s latest newsletter and he’s talking about Marvel Comics #1000, where loads of folks contributed short stories for this celebratory issue… And seeing my name in amongst these COMIC GODS is just kinda mind blowing.

Straightening out the continuity in Last Stand of Dead Men and finding one of my favourite, quieter, jokes…

This is, or should be, a big deal -- Ann Telnaes, an absolute legend, quitting WaPo due to censorship of a cartoon criticizing billionaires anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

Reading over and making continuity corrections to Kingdom of the Wicked and Scapegrace has just made the worst/best dad joke…

In the middle of a casual rewatch of Halloween (2018) and Vicky deserved better. All I’m saying.
