I write comic books. Hi!
Found a 40 year old photo of the High School Senior Year version of me.

Clearly I was going an Alan-Rickman-as-an-evil-mastermind hair & beard combo...

...even though I was a few years away from seeing Die Hard and/or Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

The problem with trying to talk about a lot of the truly awful things he does...

Big thanks to the Marvel Legends team for the recent care package they sent me. LOVE these figures! (Never in a zillion years did I think anyone would ever make an action figure of the Stargod version of Man-Wolf! We live in amazing times!) #MarvelLegends

Tomorrow DC is re-releasing the ARKHAM ASYLUM: LIVING HELL Deluxe Edition HC by me & Ryan Sook.

22 years ago THIS was the project that broke me out of kid comics and into the super hero side of the biz (where I dreamed of being). It's full of youthful energy & big swings. This was MY origin story.

What movie did you rewatch the most during its initial theater release?
For me: No contest. Raiders. My all-time fave.
Empire: I was primed for multiple rewatches.
Spider-Man 2: I was an adult w/ a bank account + it was Spider-Man 2.
Spider-Verse: AMC Stubs + skin in the game.
5th place: Star Wars.

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: EPIC COLLECTION: BIG TIME

Out Today:

SUPERMAN UNLIMITED #5
Part 1 of our first 2-part story, "Into the Heart of the Kryptonite Kingdom"

Superman ventures in the Kryptonite mines of El Caldero to go after Kult of Kobra terrorists. That sounds... dangerous.

Heads up:
This 2 parter will have an effect on the Superman books.

In the continuity where Marty McFly looked like Eric Stoltz...

...Hill Valley was home to the Triplet Pines Mall.

You just remember it differently.

Superman Unlimited #8
Art by Lucas Meyer
Cover by Dave Johnson

With Toyman's Kryptonite generators Earth is ready to mass produce faster-than-light rockets. Who wouldn't want more Earthlings out in space? Every OTHER planet!

It's up to Superman & guest-star, Guy Gardner, to save the first launch!

A story in 4 pictures.

For no good reason, I'm reading up on boxing kangaroos.

Human beings are just the worst.

I can't imagine why any aliens would ever want to make contact with us.

Not until SPIDER-MAN/HUMAN TORCH #3.

(In that issue you learn that Spider-Man *created* the Hostess Fruit Pie ad campaign *in* the Marvel Universe. No. Seriously. That's actually revealed in the issue.)

"What comic was your first time writing Spider-Man?"

That's hard to pin down.

1st time I wrote him was 3 panels of a Speedball short story in NEW WARRIORS ANNUAL #1.

The 1st time for a full issue was in REN & STIMPY #6.

My 1st "in canon" Spidey story was a short story in VENOM SUPER-SIZE #1.

I don't own many pages from my Spider-Man run.

I bought this page. I had to have it. It's one of the most important Spidey moments to me-- out of *any* that I've collaborated on.

It's from ASM #800. It's right after Peter/Spider-Man took a bullet *for* Norman/The Green Goblin.

This is my Spidey.

Watched some YT videos about SUPERMAN UNLIMITED #4.

My favorite thing: People's pronunciation of Superman-Bat.

Some say "SUPERman-bat."

Others say "SuperMAN-bat."

Have yet to hear "Superman-BAT."

When my gaming addiction was at its worst, the crazier the controller, the more I wanted to play it. STEEL BATTALION was the mech game that made me stop and say, "Do I really need that in my house?" I was sooo close to getting this. SO close.

40 buttons.
3 pedals.
Dual triggered joysticks.

Spending a big chunk of my night watching Fleischer SUPERMAN cartoons. Just because.

Seriously. I am VERY grateful to have the exact job I have. :)

Don't overthink it: what comic book panels/pages live in your head rent-free? Drop four and tag #comicsdna

I've got 3 entries in the Top 10 collectible comics this week:
The first appearance of Spider-Punk
The start of Spider-Man: Brand New Day
The first appearance of Mr. Negative

What I love about this is that ONE of those was a Free Comic Book Day issue! You literally could've gotten it for nothin'. 🙂
