THE MAGIC OF THE UNCONSCIOUS (AND OTHER THINGS)

I had a great conversation with Jace of the Comic Source podcast—talking about Ben Reilly, The Brothers Karamozov, William Blake, the power of story, the magic of the unconscious, and other fun things. You can watch it below.  Enjoy!

AND SPEAKING OF BEN REILLY...

The third issue of Ben Reilly: Spider-Man is on sale today.  This is the turning point for Ben—and for the series—as we reveal who's been behind the mysterious attacks and why he (or she.  Or it?) has it in for Mr. Reilly.

Two more issues to go...and things really heat up from here!

THE OVER THE HILL GANG

Over on Twitter, the brilliant Kevin Maguire shared this amazing piece of art:  his vision of what our JLI would look like today (y'know, if comic book characters aged in real time).


And I can't help thinking he found his inspiration in this photo my wife took at DragonCon back in 2019...


To which I can only add:  "Bwah-ha-ha!"

THE GREATS

I recently took part in a podcast tribute to one of the Marvel's greatest—and, for many of us, most influential—writers:  the brilliant, iconoclastic Steve Gerber.  You can listen to it here.


And speaking of all-time greats:  Here's a tribute to George Perez, a man whose art and storytelling has shaped, and enriched, the worlds of both Marvel and DC.  George has pancreatic cancer and, tragic as that is, it's heartening to see the tributes pouring in while he's still with us.  God bless you, George.
