The ultra-feminist comic book industry/media guy who regularly trashes the Bad People but turns out to be no saint himself has been a very very active trope within said industry/media for a long long time. And my strongest advice to such people is John 8:7 & Matthew 7:3-5 ❤️

A number of people in charge of Comics & Comics IP on both the publishing & movie/tv level honestly don't care if all these stores close. Period. Because they think they're *above* "all that." Because after a while...some see this as a "class" issue. A social class issue, though

RIP Julian Sands…really, just one of the most iconic mid 80’s/mid 90’s genre actors of all time. Gothic, the Warlock films, Tale of a Vampire, Naked Lunch, Boxing Helena, Phantom of the Opera. Julian was his *own* genre!

Amazon has the complete 1990 Flash TV series on sale for $10 (marked down from $30). Yeah, I grabbed a set! Looking forward to watching these.

My childhood dream of owning action figures of Wallace Shawn, Werner Herzog, Christopher Walken, and Jeff Goldblum is now fulfilled. What a time to be alive!

Sometimes I entertain the idea of writing comics again or being professionally involved in any capacity, & then I remember that an X-Men creator was harassed until his career was essentially destroyed & he took his own life & in turn they nominated the harasser for an Eisner.

@karasoth Now: the plot of my PunisherMAX was *dictated* to me by my editor. But I was the one who got the s**t for it, and NOBODY from Marvel backed me up.

You basically have the same *core* group of comics industry folks & gossips from since like 25+ years ago who meet/drink at conventions & "know where the bodies are buried" & blackmail each other & decide who is "blacklisted." They adopt "causes" here & there if they think it

It’s important to me, especially in light of the Ed Piskor situation, for you to know that after sharing with you my own past traumatic online harassment experiences here, I just looked up & booked a therapist. We go through, and will go through, a lot of stressful &

1/2 I’ll be honest, I’m really shocked at how many comic fans feel comfortable taking a public s**t on Frank Miller’s current work when he’s almost 70 & has dedicated *so much* of his life to this art form (whether you agree with his overall “darker approach” or not)…
