Listen, I'm no scientist, but I can't help but feel the scientific community has gone about this exactly backwards.

🚨 SPOILERS 🚨 for WEB OF SPIDER-VERSE: NEW BLOOD #1! screenrant.com/spider-man-g...

SPIDER-VERSE VS VENOMVERSE kicks off 🔥TODAY🔥 with WEB OF SPIDER-VERSE: NEW BLOOD #1 from me, @lucianovecchio.bsky.social, @gregpak.com, @jordanmorris.bsky.social, @chriseliopoulos.bsky.social, @alanrobinsonr.bsky.social, Federico Vicentini and more!

 Follow along with the reading order!

If you’re in the US, it might feel like there’s nothing you can do about all of the things happening right now. But in the thread below, Maggie provides clear instructions for a VERY achievable action to support the rights of trans folks. I hope you check it out.

ULTRAMAN x AVENGERS #4 (our finale) is finally here! @comicsbeat.bsky.social says: "the most fun franchise crossover I’ve read in a while" "tight action, smart plot, and spot-on characterizations" "will knock your spider-socks off" www.comicsbeat.com/the-marvel-r...

Thanks to Joe for having me, it was a blast (as it ever is)!

It wouldn't even take Infinite Money, it'd just take So, So Much Money-- very reasonable if you ask me, I think someone should hook Michael up.

I haven’t grabbed it yet but I’m sure not going to miss it— the first CITIZEN SLEEPER is one of the most soulful, heartfelt games I’ve ever experienced, and it sounds like the second continues that. Consider checking it out— supporting a fantastic indy developer in the process!

🕷️ I’M WRITING SPIDER-MAN AGAIN!!! 🕷️ ⚫️ AND VENOM FOR THE FIRST TIME!!! ⚫️ SPIDER-VERSE VERSUS VENOMVERSE— with me, Kyle Higgins and @lucianovecchio.bsky.social. I’d love to tell you more about our multiversal cast in a (highly-shareable >.>) THREAD 🧵 below…

I know I’ve said it before, but— I’m so proud of THE SINGULARITY, and it was an immense privilege to work with @bearmccreary.bsky.social (whose music I’ve been a huge fan of since I was 16 <!!>). If you’re curious how it came to be, Bear has written about our journey beautifully here.

Hi I'm Mat, and I write comics! (Do writers do #PortfolioDay? 🤔) Here are three pages I scripted, from various projects. Credits for all my collaborators in the thread below!

This week is all about choices! I read #AbsoluteSuperman by @jason-aaron.bsky.social & Rafa Sandoval and #WhatifGalactusTransformedHulk by @matgroom.bsky.social & Lan Medina! Check out my thoughts on these (spoiler) incredible books here: bobgillinger.com/blog/11-comi...

Sometimes I feel I've barely "broken in" to comics. Other times... I feel I haven't at all. But the solicitation of the SPIDER–VERSE VERSUS VENOMVERSE tie-ins actually bring me up to 50 comics credits... and that feels like a milestone worth celebrating!

With WHAT IF? GALACTUS TRANSFORMED THE HULK written by me, RICK AND MORTY: NEW YEAR, NEW RICK SPECIAL written by @christofbogacs.bsky.social, and FENCE CHALLENGERS: SWEET SIXTEEN #1 written by @cspacat.bsky.social all out on New Year’s Day, it’s a big day for Australian comics writers! 💪
