It's Jordan Alsaqa, Comic Writer!

In addition to original works like Cooking with Monsters and Raise Hell!, I've worked on numerous IP such as Apex Legends and Borderlands. I've had credits at IDW, Comixology, and Insight Editions, and I'm open to new work!

Nepotism can only take you so far, you still gotta have the juice.

I was tickled by how many future Peacemaker cast members were in this, though.

This was pretty dull! By 2019, "Superman, but evil" was already played out, and the focus on the childhood years doesn't do much to invigorate the idea. There's a lack of convincing character work, the effects are shaky, and the costume is just there to increase the superhero connection, I guess.

I knew the evil Superman angle of this movie, but it more specifically feels like "what if Superman was a Saiyan conqueror?"

It's nuts how many times I've seen a commercial for what seems like a wild new high-concept TV series only for it to turn out to just be another episode of 911, a show that seems to exclusively be crazy event episodes.

Received my contributor copies of Samidoon tonight, and the book came out wonderfully! Thanks to @davidmariotte.bsky.social for coordinating this project, @jacobysalcedo.bsky.social and Fortune Wesson for collabing with me to tell a personal story, and for everyone who supported the book.

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

Mondoweiss @mondoweiss.net · 22h

NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

I enjoyed this proto-WWDitS more than I probably should've on the strength of the actors involved and how unseriously it takes itself. But man, the lighting is absurdly intense, no mood whatsoever for a movie set almost exclusively at night.

#Horrorween2025 Day 13: I have no frame of reference for this beyond liking the cast and director, so I'm giving a shot to the middlingly received Vamps!

Zero memory that Kevin Hart was in this.

Jordan Alsaqa @jordanalsaqa.bsky.social · 2d

Anna Faris and Regina Hall committed so hard to these movies, there's a reason them returning for a new one is a real get.

Sometimes you watch something as an adult and can tell, intellectually, it's very dumb, but it still tickles the part of your brain that found it funny when you were 12.

Anyway, Scary Movie 3 is on.

Just a mess of a movie.

Punching in on newspaper headlines is a fun film technique.

Played an off-meta deck in a tournament banking on being very good into one of the top meta decks, then made top cut and paired into said deck three times to take the win! My read of the room was dead-on.

I'm invested and in Seattle, my local friends are going feral. It's a heck of a game!

Absolutely losing it

Jordan Alsaqa @jordanalsaqa.bsky.social · 4d

The more I pay attention to games in this series, the more innings they go.

Jordan Alsaqa @jordanalsaqa.bsky.social · 4d

Yeah, it's reputation makes it seem like an absolute stinker, and it's really not! A few weak moments of character logic, but knowing the studio meddling that took place, it's stunning it's as good as it it.
