“He stole the music out of a life,” Wolverine laments on the opening page, cradling the mutant composer Gerhart’s broken violin and looking over a wash of dramatically framed, blood-stained sheafs of compositions. “He’s killing our geniuses.”

Steve delivers the goods here. A one two-punch with knuckle tattoos reading "Cowls" and "Politics" (in this analogy the figurative hands have six and nine fingers).
Let’s talk about the MONEY
Funnily, even as the superhero genre wants to be more adult it can equally seem more childish: notably the need for every hero/villain to be the strongest/smartest/richest/etc. So Batman goes from being vaguely "wealthy" to a billionaire whose family shaped Gotham.

Yes! In fact there’s an article coming to Shelfdust this year about that very series, so a great suggestion!
I have an essay in here about Jungle Action and Billy Graham! Just in case you forgot I used to write things.
Black characters are taking on more prominent roles in the panels we read, and more Black creators are shaping their stories behind the scenes. But what of the creatives who came before? We go through the decades, looking back on comics by Black creators: shelfdust.com/black-comics...
Just finalised edits on a new piece for Shelfdust. Writing about a recent comic for once!

Contributing to and reading pieces on Shelfdust is one of the best ways to engage with comics. Every week there's some delightful. And Steve is an incredible editor who always helps bring out people's best work
reread the time @shelfdust.bsky.social published a takedown by @kellykanayama.bsky.social so brutal it belonged in Punisher MAX shelfdust.com/2024/02/14/k...
("killing might arouse some degree of emotion in a character or reader, and we can’t have that")
A very nice write up of a very nice series—perfectly nails the series appeal and the mention of liminal spaces (of both this series and budding romance as itself a liminal space) was really insightful.

Maybe Spider-Man should swing over to laugh at them instead
They should lean into it and have the other superheroes make fun of him
Reading @stevewmorris.bsky.social talk about classic GL comics is so delightful, I need more of this!
