It feels like I swing back and forth with resolutions from year to year. One year, I'm all business with concrete resolutions that have a pass/fail success condition. Write 6 short stories. Read 10 novels. That sort of thing. The next year, having been beaten down by life and the unexpected, I ease back to … Continue reading (Writing) New Year’s Resolutions, 2016

The X-Men Are Dead, Long Live The X-Men (Comics)
The end of the Marvel Universe came and went before Uncanny X-Men #600 hit the stands, and it's anyone's guess why the powers that be decided to wait as long as they did. Brian Michael Bendis, one of Marvel's big gun writers, had wrapped up the final issue of his years-long X-Men run earlier in … Continue reading The X-Men Are Dead, Long Live The X-Men (Comics)

The Patreon Saint
I'm a grown-ass rabbit, and I love comics. They're a fantastic medium to tell a story with! The best of them marry arresting visuals with great dialogue in ways it's very difficult for anything else to do.
