Genderqueer parent and community college STEP coach. I also wrote Forgotten All-Star: A Biography of Gardner Fox! My next big project is a biography for Jerry Bails, who is often referred to as the father of comic book fandom.

Now that both movies have been out on streaming for a couple weeks, I thought I would add my two cents to the discussion around Superman and The Fantastic Four: First Steps. I liked First Steps far more than this makes it sound! 😅

Magic: The Gathering gave us a Strixhaven side story set on Lorwyn. I don't want to get into the Reality Fracture of it all, or the inclusion of Oko, or the re-write of Rhys' history, or the sprinkle of transphobia. etc. ETC...

To say I am disappointed is an understatement. 🤦
This is basically a human on a plane that is supposed to have no humans. Why can't Wizards just give us Lorwyn??? I am still beyond hyped for the return, but this is as immersion breaking as UB is to Magic as a whole.

There are points where I have really enjoyed the story, but I am also finding myself worried we are going to get a bunch of Strixhaven in our Lorwyn Eclipsed…

Reviews, recommendations, and requesting these books for purchase by your local library.
"I can't afford to support my favorite author right now, I—"

Reviews.

Reviews are free AND they are a gift to authors that can keep on giving (i.e., exposure, marketing, algo boosts, etc.)

Please, give the gift of reviews to your authors this holiday season. It really can make a difference!

One unexpected benefit of getting old is that I am no longer too cool to enjoy ridiculous and insane DC Silver Age comics

I don't need Spotify to tell me that Bunny White's The Higher the Hair, the Closer to God is my top album of the year. Every time I come back to it, I love it more.

It was fun to see this kind of analysis! Fascinating that it captured Gardner without the Fox. The most interacted with accounts is my favorite. I love that we have been able to maintain these relationships across both years and platforms at this point. 🙌
