It's executing complete arcs just as envisioned or even better.

I still have a long ways to go but I have 9 issues in between 2 titles. I hope to build more on this foundation and meet my audiences expectations.
Comic creators, what is success for you?

For me, it's having built an audience that empowers me to tell a long-form story. By January we'll have completed the equivalent of 35 DM issues of the White Ash Saga. Not many indie series reach those #'s. And we're just getting started.
We're not alone...

Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy

Lessons:
1-purple prose as a means to make the setting a character
2- the effect of punctuation to immerse the reader in a time and space, pros & cons
3- the effect focusing on setting and immersion has on plot and character connection
4-characters as symbols

It's Spooky voodoo season and it would be remiss to not drop some more scenes from Bimshire. Here is Isaac during his midnight concert as Shaggy Bears dance before raising havoc.

2025 is another great year for horror. But this film is a standout. Incredible cinematography. The narrative design is also great and I dug the aesthetic.

The villain also reminds me of Ms. Pringle from Offset lol. The ending might put off some people tonally though

The sanest Ari Aster film to date.

Also not just a covid film but a masterclass in perspective and commentary of echo chambers in society especially in the West.

Also, Ari Aster is great at action, I'd like to see more of that from him one day.

This is the first time I felt Fantastic Four worked in live action. Love the retro future setting, and tbh the tone matches the source material. Also the chase sequence with silver surfer was insane. Reminiscent of Jack Kirby and Interstellar. Also Franklin Richards!

Finally saw this one. Dynamic action and I like the classic superman feel (felt like a Saturday morning cartoon brought to live action).

This might turn off some people due to the deluge of events and off beat setpieces (anti matter rivers & black holes anyone?)

PTSD Radio was supposed to be a palate cleanser from Bring Her Back (folly, I know). Touted as the scariest manga of all time due to real world events, but I think the structure of this anthology and the balance of intimate and large-scale scares makes this a masterclass of horror.

An anxiety-inducing film that took me days to get through. I haven't done that since Hereditary, mostly due to some elements matching things I researched in my own stories, so it hit close.

Great watch, though be warned of child harm in the story.

I'm a writer. Of course I constantly record ideas down on notepads, paper, cell-phone messages, voice notes , whatever , just so I don't forget them.

Finally finished My Hero Academia, and man, it has been solidified as a clear example of how the super-hero genre can still be relevant in 2025 without compromising what makes it tick. Horikoshi's art has gotten even crazier now too. His next project is going to be nuts.
