Updated the Marvel Legends preorder calendar for 2026. With NYCC right around the corner I'll have to update again, but we'll be well into Q4 at that point and we still have preorders this month.

Woo-hoo! Had no idea this was in the works. Didn’t even think it was possible to be surprised by a game announcement anymore.

Blasted through THE TROOP by Nick Cutter. Very fucked up and upsetting and sad but also some fantastic character work. If you’re looking for a bad time, check it out. I especially recommended this one to Resident Evil fans.

On the morning of September 11, 2001, I stood with a face full of shaving cream smearing the phone as I reassured my brother-in-law in Japan that my wife was in the other Tower. Her family were worried over the breaking news they were getting from across the Pacific. We watched together ... 1/

Just to highlight the absolute incompetence on display, Kimmel gets between 1.5M - 2M live viewers a night. His YouTube channel? 22.1M subscribers with interesting segments getting 4-5M views. When Colbert had this happen? MILLIONS of views.

It really feels like PlayStation lost sight of that balance between successful games and beloved games this Gen. They're heavily chasing after one, and it's not working.

Dread Central got very excited today when they heard Scott & I had pitched a combo PROBLEM CHILD/CHILD’S PLAY movie way back in the 1990s. It was to be in the horror/comedy mashup spirit of “Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein” but no one bit. www.dreadcentral.com/news/587844/...

Warner Bros.: Okay, Michael. You're going on a press tour for Batman Returns. During interviews, try to promote the movie a bit and ensure that people know it's gonna be the big hit of the summer. A real crowd-pleaser. Got it?

The 60s Batman series turned 60 this year, and it's an interesting mix of being timeless while also being a pop art time capsule. Though it ran for just two years, it's hard to think of a piece of superhero media that's had a more profound impact on the genre.
