I wrote on a show that LeBron is trying to watch?! I am beyond hyped! Disney+ awaits you, King 👑

[LeBron James @KingJames]

Where can I watch the new X-MEN 97 animated series?? I loved it back in the days.

[Michael Ruocco @AGuyWhoDraws]

Have you noticed that all the major film/entertainment outlets this week would rather talk about the failure of one live-action film than the success of 5 animated ones? This is part of the reason why we're fighting so hard for fair treatment, pay and representation.

When one of the most prolific comic book writers that I've read for YEARS gives flowers to the show that I wrote on 🤯

[robliefeld @robertliefeld]

X-Men ‘97 took me back to the glory days of my youth when Byrne/Austin were contributing story & art! It’s a mash up of all the best era’s! LOVE IT! Cable was amazing! And if the Askani looked that cool in the comics…. WOW!
