Hello! It's been a minute and I have news to share, so I'll start with a reintroduction🧵: my name is Robbie Thompson and I'm a writer. I've worked on various TV shows, like SUPERNATURAL and its spinoff THE WINCHESTERS:

If you're in LA right now, that sound you hear is every writer in town listening to THE GORGE soundtrack.

Wallace Shawn Emerges As Frontrunner To Replace Daniel Craig As James Bond

If you’re a Star Trek fan that wants to support LA fire relief efforts, a set visit to Strange New Worlds is currently up for auction. Proceeds to go the SoCal Fire Fund. Thx to the SNW team for offering a once in a lifetime opportunity to help those in need. www.charitybuzz.com/catalog_item...

Vita Ayala is a great writer, that writing talent is only outpaced by their stellar nature as a human being. They are often the first in line to help others, and now they need our help. Please support if you can.

Hello, all. In a time where everything is so much for so many people, I feel guilty asking but my family and I are in need of help. Even if it is a signal boost, any help is appreciated. I love you all, and I hope you are all safe. gofund.me/980022e5

Below is a google doc of brands that are helping people impacted by the LA fires.

Some of these GoFundMe's for displaced Black people in So Cal aren't really moving. docs.google.com/spreadsheets... - there's a ton of need.

I got an early look at THE HIVE and the whole team is clearly having a blast building this dark, brooding, NSFW, slice of sci-fi noir. Mike Henderson continues to be one of the best storytellers in comics. It's available at your LCS for pre-order now, FOC is 1/20!

From the pandemic to the strikes to the fire, Hollywood crews have been hit hard. @lizalps.bsky.social started this Google doc listing the Gofundmes of our colleagues. If you want to submit a fundraiser link to be listed, please email [email protected]. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

My friend Michael Aronson who is editorial page editor of the NY Daily News asked if I wanted to write about the fires. It was very cathartic for me. www.nydailynews.com/2025/01/13/a...

Our 9.99 volume one collection of FALLING IN LOVE ON THE PATH TO HELL is on sale now in every comic shop and the usual online places. Issue 6 is now sold out at our distributor and we'll see about reprints. News to come on new on sale dates for 7 & 8 from recent shenanigans.

Josh and Lauren are two of the kindest, most thoughtful, and some of the best people that I know. They did not deserve this absolutely heartbreaking loss. Let’s rally around them they the would rally around us. Donate if you can, post if you cannot. ❤️😍❤️😍 www.gofundme.com/f/show-love-...

Signal boosting for a great writer and nice guy… www.gofundme.com/f/h32m4-help...

One of our #StarTrek editors also lost his home in the fires. I know so many need help, but if you can spare it, anything helps ❤️‍🩹 gofund.me/7ec7b3ba

If you’re inclined #MCU fans, #WhatIf S1&2 EP A.C. Bradley lost her home in the Eaton Fire. She’s a single mom who put her life savings into her home. Small amounts help. There are so many of these GoFundMe’s, post fires & it’s heartbreaking. Please share www.gofundme.com/f/help-ashle...

Angelenos, Mutual Aid LA made this list of resources during the crisis. It's very helpful. Please share.

Hearing that the great comics and animation writer Steve Seagle, whose HOUSE OF SECRETS was a truly formative book for me, lost his home in the Eaton fire. So much help needed, in so many places, but if this feels like one of your places... www.gofundme.com/f/help-liese...

Close Encounters of the Third Kind was released on this day in 1977 🛸

there are always little moments in film that ca. take your breath away with their simplicity and power, and the scene where frank snaps a polaroid of the victim and her humanity, and his own sense of justice, comes into stark view as the picture develops is one of them. sidney lumet the 🐐

I don't know what brought this pairing about, but what a delight. www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4Ol...

THIS FEBRUARY. Me, the mercurial AJ Lieberman and the stalwart @inakiazpiazu.bsky.social welcome you to THE HIVE. screenrant.com/image-comics...

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think this would happen. One of the best plot lines of this year has been working with Frank & Silenn Thomas on this. Thank you to Jock for his sublime colors. This cover is available for pre-order now at comic shops everywhere. Thanks for your support.

Alex Cox is kickstarting what he's calling his last movie. Cox taught a whole generation about outsider art, defining for many of us Gen X filmmakers what it was to have a singular voice in a space many disregarded as disposable. Got a few bucks for his last ride? www.kickstarter.com/projects/ale...

I wrote about George Miller's masterpiece Mad Max: Fury Road www.patreon.com/posts/mad-ma...

Got an early look at this and it’s dynamite — make sure to pre-order FALLING IN LOVE ON THE PATH TO HELL at your local comic shop!

If you want to explore Jewison's filmography, you can start in so many different places. Of course I'd say go with In the Heat of the Night, but if not, try The Thomas Crown Affair or Fiddler on the Roof or Rollerball or A Soldier's Story or Moonstruck or The Hurricane. He did one of everything.

Friends, your first official preview for Phenomena Book 2 is here: www.comicsbeat.com/preview-bend...

My wife runs a program called Operation Joy here in Minnesota that serves over 1,000 kids and 400 families during the holiday season. This year need is way up, but donations are way down. If you're able to help in any way, here is the link. Thanks. communityactioncenter.org/operation-joy/

🧵. Kelly makes suggestions if you are sitting in a morass of "what can I do?" If you can just show up & speak for literacy, and how graphic novels and TV tie-ins and books about people like ME (whoever Me is) increase reading, ability, literacy. ELEVEN people are behind over half the book banning.

We now have a PATREON for people to access previous episodes of Word By Word. Go to patreon.com/WordByWordShow. The various tiers are explained there. As always 100% of proceeds go to the support finds. Supporting SAG-AFTRA and IATSE/Teamsters - and support staff and writers.
