I'm a former editor for Marvel and DC Comics and writer of Star Trek comics. Now I write books for kids. Published by Capstone/Stone Arch Books since 2010.
I understand the frustration ...truly. And I have plenty of empathy for what younger generations are dealing with. I see it with my friends children.
What I push back on is the habit of lumping entire age groups together, as if everyone born in a certain decade lived the same life or had the same advantages. Labels like “boomer” flatten people into caricatures, and that helps no one.
For context, I am technically a Boomer — born in ’61 — and nothing about my life fits the stereotype. I worked my entire adult life, often 50+ hours a week as an art director and later as a freelance writer, where the hours got longer and the pay got smaller. For years I commuted three hours a day. I wasn’t sitting on a pension or a cushy retirement plan; I had to build everything myself.
At 21, I bought a small two‑bedroom apartment in Brooklyn and spent 13 years paying it off. I supported my parents through nearly two decades of medical issues — financially, emotionally, logistically. I worked weekends. I took side jobs because the main job never paid enough. When I went freelance to follow my passion, I doubled my workload just to stay afloat. I’ve done fine in the long run, but only because I lived within my means and stayed disciplined when I had very little.
So yes — I get the struggle. I lived my own version of it. And I agree that today’s situation is out of control. Housing, wages, healthcare, cost of living — the whole system has been distorted by decades of policy failures, real‑estate speculation, and plain old greed. That’s not a generational flaw. That’s a structural one, built and perpetuated by people of all ages.
If we’re going to talk honestly about what’s broken, we should aim at the right targets — not each other.
@BaronDestructo They should've taken the hint when a 15+ year old franchise was so dead that some idiot (me) could post Stargate memes referencing things 20+ years old and get hundreds if not thousands of likes.

To the leadership of Amazon MGM Studios @AmazonMGMStudio ,
On June 2, 2026, you made a decision that was both painful and brutal: to cancel Martin Gero’s Stargate series outright. But what you shut down that day was also the hope of thousands of fans who had been waiting to finally see a new Stargate series, one that would continue the stories of the previous shows.
And yet, this project was not in its infancy. It had been commissioned, written, and prepared. Two years of work. Twenty weeks in the writers’ room. Pre-production already underway, with filming planned in the United Kingdom. All of it had been approved by you, Amazon MGM Studios. In a way, when you announced it, you made a commitment to the fans to deliver this new Stargate series.
But that commitment was not only made to the fans. It was also made to Martin Gero and his entire team, a team that knows this franchise, because it includes producers and writers from Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, and Stargate Universe.
The reason reportedly given for this cancellation was the fear that the series would appeal only to longtime fans, and that its audience would be too narrow. The creators themselves have challenged that idea. But beyond the numbers, there is something we want you to hear: a community should not be treated as an adjustment variable. A community deserves respect.
The Stargate community has been waiting for a continuation for more than 15 years. Imagine, for a moment, the emotional rollercoaster it has just been through. That is not fair to the fans. Many of us discovered science fiction through this Gate, and some of us have since passed that passion on to our own children. Turning your back on this audience is a mistake. Refusing even to listen to it would be a greater one.
But nothing is final.
In 2018, the cancellation of The Expanse sparked a worldwide fan movement, with close to 140,000 signatures and even a banner flown over your offices. That community, you chose to listen to. Jeff Bezos personally stepped in to save the series. What followed? Three more seasons, acclaimed by critics.
So why not listen again?
The decision lies with you, and you alone. Stargate belongs to you. No one else can carry this torch in your place. Everything now rests on your choice: a responsibility, certainly, but also an opportunity.
What do Stargate fans want?
We want Martin Gero and his team back, with their project. The work is already well advanced. All that remains is to restart the machine and follow the development plan that had already been laid out.
We do not want a reboot. We want the continuation of the adventures begun by Jack O’Neill, Daniel Jackson, Samantha Carter, and Teal’c, then carried on by John Sheppard’s team, and finally by the crew of the Destiny under Colonel Young. That is what Stargate is: memorable characters, humor, brotherhood, action, adventure, and the discovery of new worlds. It is not just a gate to adventure. It is a gate open to dreams.
Stargate fans, along with the new fans who will join this great family, deserve to dream through this wonderful franchise once again.
The Stargate community is strong. It lives on every continent. It is active on social media. And it will be there for the future of the franchise.
You have the symbols to dial in order to open this gate.
We are waiting for you.
Save Stargate.

Sadly, it's true. Amazon has elected not to move forward with the new Stargate series.
There's not much I can add beyond confirming what's happened. But I will say this...
Creator Martin Gero developed a new Stargate series over two years, ultimately crafting a show that offered a fresh jumping-on point for new viewers while deeply respecting existing canon. It was a series that avoided the pitfalls of several modern remakes and reboots by fully embracing the core of its predecessors: action, adventure, exploration, wonder, heart, humor, and found family. And based on that creative vision, the new Stargate series was greenlit in November of 2025.
As of today, officially, that original vision is no more. We'll never get the opportunity to introduce you to that world and those characters - or reintroduce you to, and check in with, some familiar faces from the past.
My heart breaks. For the incredibly talented writers who worked tirelessly to bring this show to life. For Martin who maintained an unwavering positive outlook throughout despite the challenges, and who always strove to make a show that would honor the fans while welcoming a new audiences. And for the long-suffering Stargate fandom who waited so long and came so close to getting a show they truly would have loved.
Jimmy Kimmel: We have the right guaranteed by the Constitution to criticize and satirize our leaders. This is a right that I took for granted until last year when the FCC delivered a very unpleasant surprise. But then I watched as millions of people objected because they refuse to allow our freedoms to be bulldozed like the East Wing of the White House. We will not stand by when comedy and journalism are censored and criminalized.
The B-52 is not only big, old, mean-looking and smoky, it can also perform this crab landing party trick.
The landing gear can be rotated to compensate for severe crosswinds, ensuring proper alignment with the aircraft's direction of travel upon touchdown. Pilots can control this adjustment using a cockpit dial, which allows the gear to pivot up to 20 degrees.

The undisputed Star Trek parody is Galaxy Quest (1999). Not mean-spirited or lazy, but a genuine love letter to both the show AND the fans who adore it. Everyone nails the brief, and Sigourney as an intelligent woman trapped in a sexist TV machine is inspired casting.
The best working illustrator of the pre-European Americas is looking for new clients. If you have educational illustrative needs or just interests, maybe send him a message.
To all my original art collecting friends- below is a list of art stolen from MARK EVANIER's home and the police are looking for the thief - if any of this art pops up...call the police immediately. See the full story at: https://t.co/EyYaAn1zM3
If you grew up loving the kind of stories where the stakes are the entire universe and the hero carries something heavier than just saving the day, we have a feeling you’ll enjoy this.
His name is Nexus.
He was given power by a cosmic entity to hunt down mass murderers across the galaxy. Not because he wanted to. Because he had to, to atone for what his father did.
He became the protector of thousands of intergalactic refugees who had nowhere else to go.
If that sounds like your kind of story, you’re in the right place.

Update on Flight Attendant…
She was sitting in her jump seat directly behind the cockpit when Air Canada Express Flight 8646 collided with a fire truck on Runway 4 at LaGuardia Airport.
On impact, Solange Tremblay, the senior flight attendant on board, was ejected more than 320 feet from the wreckage. She was found on the tarmac, still strapped to her seat. She was conscious for all of it.
Her daughter Sarah Lépine called it "a total miracle." Aviation safety experts agreed, saying her survival was extraordinary given the complete destruction of the cockpit just feet from where she was sitting. Her four-point harness jump seat, designed to withstand extreme crash loads, likely saved her life.
But Solange's fight is far from over. Her injuries are severe: two shattered legs with open fractures requiring multiple surgeries and metal plates, a fractured spine, skin grafts needed for the flesh she lost sliding across the tarmac, and complications that led to a blood transfusion. She still faces several more surgeries and intensive rehabilitation to learn how to walk again.
Her daughter and cousin have set up a GoFundMe to help the family. The funds will allow Sarah and Solange's husband Denis to take time off work to be by her side as she recovers in a New York hospital for the foreseeable future.
"My mother dedicated her entire life as a flight attendant and was very proud of her work," Sarah wrote. "Right now, my mom needs your help.”
The Southwest is running out of water, and 80% of Arizona's water goes to agriculture...not homes.
Arizona ships a MILLION homes worth of water (via alfalfa alone) to China, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE every year.
The West needs many different solutions, but this madness must end
