Comic Tropes

Farewell, Tetsuya Chiba. He innovated sports manga and added to Japan’s culture.

New episode! Doug Mahnke has been important to DC for years. I wanted to focus a bit more on his early 90s comics like The Mask and Major Bummer. God, I love those books. youtu.be/QFWSf3VnLv4?...

My friend @westcoastdavengers.bsky.social invited me to discuss Daniel Warren Johnson’s art and storytelling techniques from Do a Powerbomb! youtu.be/JSwp0MxIUjI?...

Fantastic self-published comic for Spooky Season. Haunted Mountain by Atom Ivan with adorable and hilarious characters like Spiderbat and Cattercat. I recommend picking it up here: spiraland.bigcartel.com

If you’ve ever watched a comics history video by UncleJerk you may want to consider donating to his emergency surgery. It’s a pretty modest goal but he needs some help. gofund.me/644953d4c

What do you get when you mix Adam West, Tia Carrere, Canadian heavy metal guy Thor, the director of Deadpool & Wolverine, and Motorhead? ZOMBIE NIGHTMARE! Jim Mahfood and I discuss this schlock horror "classic!" Edits by Jamie Wood. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jl9h...

I’ve got a new episode up about Junji Ito. I had to make it differently because I’m dealing with a broken ankle but it seems like folks are enjoying it! Thanks to @westcoastdavengers.bsky.social for co-hosting this one! Junji Ito: Examining How He SCARES Us youtu.be/bbCWqx-KUoc

Someone put up a video I feel covers some very similar ground to one I made. Normally I’d ignore it but there is a history of it happening before. And yet? You can’t really own the facts of what’s being discussed. So… I’ll be willfully vague.

Well it is fractured but no bleeding and it’ll heal on its own. I’ll probably still go to the con but I’ll be moving very slowly and taking it as easy as possible. Doctor said that would be ok and set me up with this cool boot and wrap. I’ll have a knee scooter by Saturday.

Very iffy as to going to comic con and how long I can manage. Maybe I can get a knee scooter.

THE MONSTER SQUAD! The @arrowvideo.bsky.social 4K release with my artwork on the sleeve and booklet and discs is coming out this October, in time for Halloween. Have you ordered yours yet/ :D

Check this out. LEGO has transformed Jock’s iconic cover to Detective Comics #880 into a 3D wall art set. January 1st release. Tempting!

Anyone ever get Superhero from India’s GI Joe line?

Fun show in 30 minutes! Comics news, reviews, art! www.youtube.com/live/Kn23hm9...

I made a quiz. 350 comic book movies. It’s not easy! www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes...

He lost billions on Quibi. Maybe factor that in.

The NY Times is letting people vote on their favorite shows since 2000. Are these really my top 10? I think so, but I’m gonna mull it over some more.

I’m excited for this!

The new Korean movie Hope is the shit! Very cool.

When special effects master Screaming Mad George passed, Jim Mahfood and I decided to look at the one movie he actually directed: The Guyver. Also the first live action Hollywood adaptation of a manga. Also? Pretty weird. youtu.be/K-mXkgxdhbU?...

Live video of the Unicorn Gundam being taken down in Odaiba, Tokyo right now: www.youtube.com/live/jfcJHSQ...

Tomorrow is your last day to pre-order ABSOLUTE BATMAN #24, featuring the debut of Barbara Gordon as THE BAT! Get your copies of the main cover by @nickdragotta.bsky.social and Frank Martin at your store before FOC!

I made an episode about The Crow Soundtrack. I wanted to use music clips, so it can’t be monetized but screw it. Enjoy! youtu.be/OM716yfDtuw?...

You know what? Yeah, let’s just go for it and see how it shakes out. I mean, humanity does eventually bear Skynet. That’s why it sent a Terminator back. So we get a few crummy years. Not so different from now.

I made these while hungry.

Tough week for celebrity losses. Optimus Prime was THE tv dad. Farewell to Peter Cullen.

One of the greatest artists and human beings of my lifetime. Goodbye, Dolly Parton.

I think the most interesting aspect of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is seeing its author evolve. Hirohiko Araki references fine art and high fashion in an ethical way. It isn’t tracing. This episode looks at all that and explains “torepaku.” youtu.be/TLIQ3TEowDY

I will have a new episode tomorrow but today I encourage you to watch this one. It’s me and @westcoastdavengers.bsky.social doing a deep dive into Daniel Warren Johnson’s Absolute Batman story. youtu.be/vSLYa2oxSho?...

A rare miss for Bullseye.

Four days off for two years of service. What are we doing?

I made my coworker’s pizza better with some appropriate dialogue.

Sadly, effects wizard Screaming Mad George has passed. Jim Mahfood and I reviewed his work in Society recently and plan to discuss a movie he directed, The Guyver, soon. youtu.be/1zy8mlND_Jo?...

New episode! Four stories of times Marvel art (Kirby, Ditko, Adams, Romita) was stolen. youtu.be/fOqpqkKjV8M?...

That time Scarlett really wanted to solve the Cobra problem… with KARATE!

Dynamite has a new X-Files comic coming, tomorrow is the new director’s cut of I Want to Believe, and the LEGO set looks amazing. X-Files fans are eating pretty good this week.

Spidey went up against a giant government organization when they detained just one person, but sure, I guess we’re just letting government infringe on IP to troll us now.

Cannot seem to edit together a version of this comic’s history that YouTube will let me monetize so forget making money off it: here’s the history of an award winning indie book that led to the creation of a legal team to protect free speech. Ironic! youtu.be/rT2wdZsOLe0?...
