One of the most important financial stories out there if you want to know how and why the same five evil guys wind up owning everything.

My Naruto Shadow Rising hot take is that the Gojo Girlies are about to see the resurrection of women thirsting for Kakashi, and realize that there are levels to this game.

I agree about Earth's red lantern being a cat, but I don't think it goes far enough. Earth's Yellow Lantern? Cat. Orange lantern? Cat. Star Sapphire? Believe it or not, also Cat.

Back on the work hunt. Lots of things written and in the production pipeline, but deeply in need of something to pay the bills. If you're looking for a professional writer with 15 years of experience, I would love to hear from you.

The Perfectly Monstrous Life of Adam Frankenstein TPB (Dark Horse) is open for pre-orders wherever you get your books, and you know how important pre-order numbers are! The whole team has crafted an amazing book, a love letter to the genre and the medium of comic books.

By far the funniest thing in the entire Foundation series is Prelude to Foundation, where Asimov takes Hari Seldon, a man defined by elaborate strategies and pursuit of mathematics, and out of nowhere goes, "AND ALSO HE'S REALLY GOOD AT KARATE!!!"

The second funniest part of Foundation is Hari Seldon going, "my plan is flawless! There's no way for these calculations to fail. Unless of course a psychic person showed up, that would totally wreck my plans." Readers, I'll give you three guesses what immediately happened next.

RIP Walter Koenig. Commander Pavel Chekov, President Anton Chekov, and so, so many more. An actor whose appearance on Futurama makes me laugh every time. He wasn't just an actor, "but a well-rounded person, with his own friends and credit cards and keys."

None of us should forget this. Meta should be subjected to corporate death penalty and permanently broken up into small pieces.

ON FINAL ORDER CUT-OFF NOW! STAR TREK: 60TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL DELUXE EDITION HARDCOVER! Cover by Michael Cho! Which features among its many pages, not one but TWO stories I got to colour!

The funniest part of Clayface is the one cop CHARGING to his death by going up to every corrupt cop and crime lord in Gotham City and going, "I'm coming after ya, pal!"

I love how animation completely saved the entire entertainment industry during COVID, and its reward was being taken around the shed out back and given the Ol Yeller.

Netflix has told several people going forward with new pitches that they plan for all animated shows from now on to be AI. I've heard this more than once now.

The quantity of Pokémon has exploded since I was a kid. We only had 151 growing up. Kids today got nearly 10x that many Pokémon!

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

I remember when the perception was that Arnold was the lunkhead and Stallone was the thinking man's action hero. Every year it becomes clearer that Arnold is bigger AND smarter AND better looking.

Clayface is out today and if you want the story behind the Batman: The Animated Series episodes that influenced it, complete with new interviews with the show's staff, maybe consider picking up my latest book, I AM THE NIGHT!

Daniel Dockery@dandock.bsky.social

It's time to go back to Gotham City. My book, I AM THE NIGHT: THE ULTIMATE UNAUTHORIZED HISTORY OF BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES, comes out today! It's a narrative history of the landmark cartoon, packed with new interviews and deep-dive research. Grab a copy here: us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

Telling trans people to calm down in re: anti-trans Democrats works the same way as a man calling a woman "hysterical" or "emotional." It frames any reaction the other person has as invalid, and guarantees that, if they weren't mad before, they sure are now. It doesn't work, and it's rude. Stop it.
