- @steevbishop There’s a fox? Fuck, thought I was a night owl, forgot you were doing UFC. Think I’m about to watch Brave And The Bold 1st ep. #
- @joshhechinger So I SHOULD watch it, yeah? Even though it’s past my bedtime? #
- Clockking, seriously? Oh, wow… retro as FUCK! It’s like DKR never happened. Utterly riffing on Adam West era Bats. Down to the logo! #
- @joshhechinger Getting that feeling…! There’s a place for this, f’r s’r. Modern anim, but 1st show like it I’ve seen that isn’t utterly… #
- … riffing off the classic Batman Animated look. Yup, walks up wall, has Bat rocket wings that let him go into space… utterly awesome. #
- These goo things are just like the ones in deBlob. Lovely design. Oh wow this Blue Beetle is GREAT! Sucks that his book got cancelled… #
- @joshhechinger This is not our Batman. I like him. Also, Teletoon station just utterly mispelled Spectacular in Spectacular Spider-Man. #
- “So, in conclusion, find the power within, & um, y’know, it’s better to die on your feet, than live on your knees.” “They don’t have knees.” #
- @Groonk Got that right – re, preferring gritty, but that already being done in plenty of places. What failed horribly? #
- KIRBYFIED KICKASS MONTAGE! This is big fun, you guys! #
- BATMAN JUST PUNCHED A SPACE SHARK JELLYFISH ON IT’S NOSE! Batman is AWESOME! #
- @groonk @joshhechinger @harrymylandIV That was probably the best 23 minutes of pure joyous entertainment comics have given me ALL YEAR! #
- (@Groonk The Batman sounds RUBBISH!) #
- Oh my… it’s only been a matter of hours, but I already have my EW piece for this week down. Not a 6 word story, but short-short & cool… #
- @thoughtmecca Dude, it looks like you managed it almost just fine… sorry it took so long to read your tweets – I am wrimoing like a mofo! #

Another Way To Breathe: On The Disir
HEAVY SPOILERS FOR JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY 638
I was asked on my Formspring “Was that always the real origin of your Disir, or something that evolved for EXILED?”. To which I responded….
When I created the Disir back in SIEGE: LOKI and NEW MUTANTS 11, I knew the origin I gave wasn’t the…
Kieron Gillen is killing it on Journey Into Mystery. It’s process like this that’s the reason why. Inspiring.

“She went to the bathroom, filled the tub, and got undressed. The mirror misted over with condensation, and the smell of pine needles filled the air. She turned off the water, and the apartment suddenly seemed very quiet. Then she heard footsteps, and Simon’s voice through the half-open door. He said, I’ll just go downstairs for the bottle of wine. I thought you’d gone already, said Lara, and she poked her head through the crack, and he kissed her on the lips and tried to barge the door open, but she held it shut. They kissed again. See you soon, said Lara. It was odd, she still felt a little ashamed in front of him.”
This scene is one of my earliest comic memories. It was the first point at which I saw a comic character making a mistake, which meant it was probably the first time I really processed them properly as characters and human.
Spider-man has webbed up a doorway to stop a criminal escaping, but then realises that the criminal is escaping out of the window instead, and in his hurry to catch them he forgets his own webbing.
It seems gloriously ridiculous out of context, but if memory serves it was part of a pretty intense and dramatic story featuring Alex Summers (Havok).
(This was me, by the way.)
