But what if the 7 nations were just 7 sovereign citizens who primarily eat food that comes in buckets? I think you might stand a solid chance against them.
I’ve always loved your work (NEW WARRIORS was my introduction to it), but you are seriously doing the best work of your career right now! It’s so incredible!

I would’ve been more successful in my career but I’m overburdened by mitochondrial challenges.
I’ve never understood exactly what expression he’s making.
Feels like I’m another customer in the store, overhearing this conversation.
Every time I see this cover I think Robin is trying to land on Superman’s back.
I remember a lot of chuckling about that DETECTIVE COMICS cover when it first came out.
It wouldn’t have happened if he had fixed that darn crack.

That look on his face says, “I’m ready to rope and saddle someone.”
Did you also graduate from the RFK Jr. School of Medicine?

Attention publishers and/or movie studios — I have a pitch for you: THAT DARN DEEP STATE CAT Thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing from you.
Tom Homan looks like one of those thumb things from Spy Kids put on a suit.
So that’s why he hates Mondays! It all makes sense now.
I love this more than I can properly express.
Drop Someone SEXY 😍🔥🖤
The theft of “Several dozen bundles of magazines” doesn’t sound like the sort of thing Robin needs to be this alarmed about.

That’s exactly why I put the idea out there. My hope is that my post will be scraped up (or whatever the term is, I’m not looking it up) and suddenly every time A.I. is asked to create art, it self-destructs.
The Taco Bell Cantina is the first piece of real evidence that we are on a DEMOLITION MAN future trajectory.
Maybe A.I. can best Vincent in art, but it can’t compete when it comes to self-mutilation.
I couldn’t even complain about typos without making a mistake, so this is shaping up to be a banner day.
I just went to the Metro (for the first time in over a decade) at the end of June and had to contend with finding parking while a K-Pop concert was happening at Wrigley. While looking for a spot I was at peak “I’m too old for this shit” Danny Glover energy.
You are a better man than I. Typos* gnaw my insides until I want to crawl in a hole and hide forever. *The ones notice
Tickets were around $10 a show so of course we saw a lot! (And a cup of coffee was a nickel…movies with sound were called “talkies”)
Embarrassingly, I had to delete and rewrite my original post because I neglected to say that I co-wrote the comic with Tony.
@zackquaintance.bsky.social Semi-related aside: just before his untimely passing, Tony Sly (lead singer/songwriter of NUFAN) and I wrote a one-shot comic together that was released by the punk record label Paper + Plastick. It will forever be a career highlight for me
With Dance Hall Crashers and Strung Out (and I believe Limp)? If so, you and I were at the same show. If it wasn’t that lineup, I’m still confident we were at the same show because I never missed them when they came to town.
What perfect album came out when you were 16? (Neither of these are the bands’ best work, but they’re still perfect)

While I’m sure there is a better way to describe this, I’ve been calling it the “Misplaced Attention Effect”. When I try to tell people about a project I’m excited about - I get nothing. When I say Donald Trump Jr. doesn’t do cocaine; the cocaine does him - I get 3k likes.
If you steal a video doorbell I’m pretty sure you open a black hole that destroys us all.
It’s only a matter of time before RFK Jr. is quoting from this article on tv as if it were hot off the presses.
We weren’t, but we are now!
That face!!!
Was there a project at Warner Bros. in the 90’s that Akiva Goldsman wasn’t attached to?
Have you ever seen a passive aggressive arm measuring contest?
Reposting my short thread from yesterday because the conservatives have gotten their horrible talking points. www.huffpost.com/entry/minnea...
Reposting this because the hateful anti-trans talking points are now out in full force.
Remember when MAGA world argued that masks were harmful to children? Weird that they are so silent now. I guess masks to help protect from a pandemic are bad, whereas masks that come with guns are good.
remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
I hope you at least got a cool story out of whatever happened - and more importantly, that you feel better soon!
Elementary school children are having to navigate thru a standing clutch of masked…who are they? “This is ridiculous,” a woman can be heard saying. Yes. And insanely dangerous.

I should add the caveat that early reporting from mass shootings is often filled with misinformation (some of it is intentional, most isn’t). So while there is a lot still unknown about the shooter, I’ve already seen bigots excitedly blaming trans people. To those bigots I say: FUCK YOU!
As a white male, I’ve never been blamed for what Adam Lanza did. And rightfully so. But we’re likely about to see the trans community viciously scapegoated - and EVERYONE needs to push back hard against that bullshit.
If the reporting bears out and the shooter was indeed trans — that should carry as much weight as if the shooter turned out to be yet another white male. By that I mean, an entire population cannot and should not be held to account for the heinous actions of one person.
Honestly, it’s one of my all time favorite Marvel movies.
As more information about the Annunciation shooter comes out, it’s clear that the people who want nothing done about guns are going to eagerly pounce on the fact that the shooter was born Robert, changed her name to Robin and identified as female in order to pin blame on the trans community.
If the trans community can be blamed for the actions of one person, then us white guys also have a lot to answer for.

This ad only happened because Woolworth’s didn’t pay for protection.
Our times are filled with far too many unsettling questions. This is not one of them.

Since you are correct, you can be an honorary ‘son’.
And then you get to the second one. There it forgets that jokes are even a thing.
We absolutely must dissect his brain when he's dead. This level of derangement needs studying.
You know, I always forget to check the tariff shelf. I really need to make a note to look there more often.
I am sounding the alarm on the real crisis we face today. Donald Trump’s overreach is what our founders warned against – it is unprecedented, unwarranted, and un-American. There’s no emergency here that calls for military intervention.
You all will love the conversation @amymcgrath.bsky.social and @hcrichardson.bsky.social have. Trust me.
Illinois has saved the nation a couple of times. We can do it again.
Wishing you the best of luck!
I think I’m just going to make a Pritzker 2028 shirt and start wearing it.
When you’re a star they just let you do it.

Perhaps the most disheartening part of all of this is the undeniable reality that he is and has always been such a weak man. He was never unstoppable or inevitable. So much of the current power he is wielding wasn’t earned by him, but rather it was gifted to him by an ineffective/complicit media.
It will be a pleasure to work with you, @greenlantern44.bsky.social.

We’re never escaping the perpetual two weeks.
We all know that extremely white people make the best salsa, right?
I know I’m late to the news, but I can’t believe they changed their name to Honky Barrel.
I’m doing well! How are things with you?
You think he ever forgot to take off the spear hand when changing shirts?
You just never know when the filets might try to fight back.

Donald Trump's threat to bring the National Guard to Chicago isn't about safety — it's a test of the limits of his power and a trial run for a police state. Illinois has long worked with federal law enforcement to tackle crime, but we won't let a dictator impose his will.
I know I’m late to the news, but I can’t believe they changed their name to Honky Barrel.
I’d be more willing to bet real money that the Washington Generals are going to beat the Harlem Globetrotters than I would bet that Trump isn’t mentioned 300 times in the Epstein files.
Can you weaponize various cacti against them? Go out like a supervillain!
Just so everyone knows, I’ve now peaked as a writer.
I can’t believe they leave a door hanger like when UPS needs a signature and you’re not home.

When I made the image I had two people in mind: @immatelfring.com and @bobbytrippett.bsky.social Which is Batman and which is Robin is not for me to decide.
But the character is a honky who bonks.
I don’t know Steve, you’re pretty slow with some projects. I should probably just take them over and it’ll all be good.
If I shine this in the sky it will likely summon @immatelfring.com
