In my Batman: The Killing Joke review for CBR, I write about the Joker’s publication history, his nihilism, how he’s proven wrong and why The Killing Joke is one of the best Jim Gordon stories. Whether you’re a, DC superfan or vaguely familiar, I wrote this for you. www.cbr.com/retro-review...

Comics are for everyone. However, a specific comic isn’t supposed to be for everyone. That’s McDonald’s, not a good comic.

"We have to take care of our law enforcement," says Trump, standing inside the building where law enforcement were brutally attacked by a mob of his supporters that he sent to the Capitol.

I interviewed @hackintimseeley.bsky.social about Hack-Slash, Local Man, Killer Croc, DC comics, his comic book career and comics in general for CBR. It was a pleasure chatting with you as always, Tim! www.cbr.com/tim-seeley-i...

I gave CBR readers a brief introduction to actual academic Media Theory 101 in my review of Blade: Red Band #4 🤪 www.cbr.com/blade-red-ba...

Seeing a blatant fascist dismantling and takeover of the government and using it as an opportunity to mostly complain about the left or throw trans people under the bus means you're helping them. No other way to slice it.

*and outside the government

In my latest CBR piece, I dive into the history of Zombie Tramp and why Zombie Tramp #13, written and drawn by Dan Mendoza, is one of the best horror comics ever made. CW for this one as it touches on sexual abuse, bullying, classism and suicide. www.cbr.com/zombie-tramp...

Archie is Mr. Justice #1 is written by @hackintimseeley.bsky.social, drawn by @mikenorton.bsky.social and published by Archie Comics. Among other analysis, I wrote about why comic book narration doesn't always work and why it does in this instance.

I fill boxes. Happy New Year.

Carter has passed. An accomplished man. A brilliant legacy. Although for many of us he died years ago when he refused to condemn, gamer gate

Another Santa vs the Bad Guy story. From the last time around...

This was published at near perfect timing, wasn’t it? My latest article for CBR is about the deeply anti-fascist subtext and progressive messaging of Action Comics #1, the first appearance of Superman and widely considered to be the first superhero comic book. www.cbr.com/action-comic...

I shouted out @dandougherty.bsky.social and @rachaelsmith.bsky.social and I wrote about why Calvin and Hobbes is the best comic strip in my new piece for CBR (Comic Book Resources). www.cbr.com/best-comic-s...

Kind of losing my mind at Joe Rogan saying he needed to endorse Donald Trump because of Tim Walz lying.

Not counting myself among them I have one joke but all the funniest posters have moved here. People whose shit I just stopped seeing on the other one. Twitter doesn't stand a chance

I think about this a lot. If I’m a single issue voter this is my issue, and it is wild to me that I appear to be alone on that island

The thing that really differentiates Bluesky is that it doesn’t feel like it was designed by a bunch of people who will lose their jobs if I spend a little less time on Bluesky.

My favorite guy in comments sections is the one who tells everyone “this is the Onion” under every Onion post. Thank you for your service, sir.

Ladies: before you quit your high paying ad exec job in the city and move in with the handsome charming flannel-wearing Christmas-loving man who runs an adorable small business in your hometown, remember to ask where he was on January 6 👀

In my book “Diesel Doctrine,” I wrote about a young man who was extremely disillusioned with life. He was essentially having a quarter life crisis. I want to make it perfectly clear that that’s not me and really hasn’t for a long time. Mitchell Derrick is dead.

So, my X account is suspended for posting that video of the guy saying employees need to know their place and suggesting it may be time to bring back the gxxllotine. They determined it's inciting violence. I'm not the least bit bothered by it, honestly.

Who do I pay to get a bluecheck on here

Is it just me or is Cameron a more interesting character than Ferris in Ferris’s Day Off?

Every time I block a fool on Twitter, an angel gets her wings. But sadly, Elon Musk doesn’t want angels to get their wings. So here I am… finally seeing what this Blue Sky hullabaloo is about.
