I'm currently working on new Blitzverse novels in prose, including Blitz and the upcoming Nightwardens. But in the meantime, catch up on the Blitz comic (by me and Tosin Awosika @awotosin), linked below!

@VanishedOmens Some really great choices. I'd probably go with...
Twelve
Four
Eleven
Eight
Ten
McGann was great in the little screen time he got. Thankful we got all those Big Finish audios from him, at least.
I feel crazy about this because JRJR doesn't deserve this shit, BUT I can't think of a finishing style that matches his pencils less than that of realistic painting. Most people won't get why what they're seeing doesn't work; they just know they don't like it, and blame JRJR.
@HenryCyclops There were promising ideas at first, but then the characters all started acting like pod people. My final straw was Marauders; Kitty was one of my favorite characters and that book ruined her for years. Fortunately, what I've read in Exceptional so far is a lot better.
So I decided to try the first issued of "From the Ashes" X-Men relaunches. I wanted to see if I could get back into it as someone who decidedly did not like Krakoa.
And... yeah. These books worked. Not perfectly, but they set the tone without having to read a ton of backlog.

“Why don’t you think of your face, Ian’s face, your own face, the face you’re presenting to the camera as a senator, as a mask. Underneath it is this horrible thing that I promise you will emerge dramatically later on.”

My 2 cents on the Spider-Man #1000 cover drama: many of the crucial details John Romita Jr drew into the original pencils got blotted out in the coloring/rendering process: the tension btwn his neck & shoulders, the shape of his head & eyes & torso & thighs…that’s the problem
Sony faces a proposed class-action lawsuit over how digital purchases are presented on the PlayStation Store.
Plaintiffs argue that buttons like “Buy Now” and “Confirm Purchase” give customers the impression they are purchasing and owning a game, when they are actually receiving a license to use it.
The case is based on a California law that took effect in 2025, requiring companies to clearly inform customers when they are buying a license instead of owning a digital product.
Sony’s checkout page includes a notice stating that purchases are licensed under its Software Product License Agreement, but the lawsuit claims the disclosure is too easy to overlook.
The complaint argues that labels such as “Buy Now” and “Confirm Purchase” can lead consumers to believe they are obtaining permanent ownership.
@comicbookaddt I think the pose was a mistake, but it looks way better without inks and colors. JR Jr. isn't the problem.
But a Spidey who looks like he's shrugging with some of the most generic marketing blurbs... well, the optics aren't great.
