It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

Crushed to hear about Adam Hughes' cancer diagnosis. One of the best comic book artists of our generation. His Black Cat covers have been the highlight of my month. Hoping for all the best for Adam and the whole family.

Adam Hughes is one of my all time favorite comic artists. he does the best Indiana jones.
Marvel's The Avengers and DC's Justice League of America.
The team-up of the Mightiest Heroes of Two Worlds which fans had waited for for over twenty years finally concludes.
Kurt Busiek @kurtbusiek.bsky.social and George Perez knocked it out of the park.
It was worth the wait.
On an android orbiting two very similar Earths which are merging together stands Superman, angry and beaten, with his uniform tore to tatters. He stands bracing for an attack while holding Captain America's shield and Mjölnir, the Mighty Thor's hammer. - Avengers/JLA #4, Dec 2003 by Kurt Busiek & George Perez w/ Tod Smith.
As the universes of the new Earth-1 & Earth-2 crumble, the heroes decide to sacrifice themselves to restore reality.
It's the satellite-era JLA and the 70s era Avengers against Krona and his forces for the countless billion lives of two universes.
...and as the battle rages, Metron observes.
Hungary under Orban was a case study in democratic backsliding. The country was labeled an "electoral autocracy" by the European Parliament. "Orbanism" was viewed as a model for Trump's return to power. So Orban's defeat is causing shockwaves tonight, as we discussed on CNN:
oh, I dig this a great deal! READ THE COMICS! READ ALL THE COMICS!

The Justice League of America & The Crime Syndicate of Amerika, by Frank Quitely, for his & Grant Morrison’s JLA: Earth-2 graphic novel.
With a couple of very specific exceptions, your favorite show had to make shit up on the fly and adjust for unexpected problems. That’s what makes tv so good!
Left: a show whose writers constantly introduced major plot turns without any idea how to deal with them later.
Right: a show whose creators came up with their ending early on and stuck to it, no matter the mounting evidence that it was no longer viable.
Planning in TV is wildly overrated.
Why would I use "AI," I actually know how to fucking write
If you're only revising what a machine has written, you're not a writer. If you're feeding your writing to a machine and telling it to write something else as if it were you, you're not writing. Anyone who actually writes should understand that this is not writing. It's a shortcut to writing.
Oh my god, the alt text is a gift. 😹
My shelves are full of aspiration. The sort of person I would be if I could only find the time to read the books that I’ve bought is probably the sort of person I’d like to be. But sadly I may never know.
Very very sorry to hear about Nicky Brendan. Dawn and Xander both gone?! Doesn’t seem possible.
RIP, Eric Overmyer. Wrote on The Wire. Co-created Treme. Created Bosch. One of the few writer/producers, both working with David Simon and on his own, who actually knew how to make the "every season of our show is a Novel For Television" structure work.
One of the most influential publishers in the modern history of comics has left the company he helped found.
Mike Richardson out at Dark Horse after 40 years
How toxic is Scott Jennings inside CNN? @status.news has learned some producers are giving on-air talent a heads-up when he is scheduled to appear on shows, quietly offering them the option to preemptively excuse themselves rather than appear alongside him.
Scott Jennings peddled an absurd Trump talking point on Iran to the masses over the weekend.
Then the actual journalists at CNN did reporting that undercut the claim.
The episode has led to some drama behind the scenes, @status.news has learned.

The Comics vs. the Fascists panel sounds like a great way to celebrate #WillEisner Week!
The truth is, if you go back and rewatch that two-hour pilot of Legends, I think you'll see that the seventies bar fight to “Love Will Keep Us Together” was a moment when you saw in the very first two hours, what the show would ultimately become. I think if we had a normal pause-and-reflect period between the pilot and the next episode, we would've said, “Oh, that's where the show lives! Let's tack towards that.” In fact, I do remember sitting in the editing room with Greg, watching the rough cut of the two-hour pilot, and afterwards I turned to him. I was like, “We've been talking about the show all wrong. We've been talking about this show as our version of The Avengers, but the truth is it's our version of Guardians of the Galaxy.” The problem is by that point, the ship had very much sailed. We were committed to a certain tone, and we were committed to a certain storyline, and we didn't have the time—or even the ability – to make a major course-correction until the end of the first season. But now, because Legends, had a second life on Netflix, people came to the show without any preconceived notions. That's why they are able to just enjoy season one, purely on its own merits. I don't think it's a bad season of television. I've been involved with bad seasons of television, and I don't think it's a bad season of television by any means. To me, it's just a show that didn't know what it wanted to be yet.
I love this quote from @marcguggenheim.bsky.social, explaining why there's so much more love for the first season of #LegendsOfTomorrow these days than there was during its run.
