Pirate Nikolai Dante always immediately made my mind go to

DC Comics I have an idea: Batman Scrabble. It’s like regular scrabble but every word has to start with Bat

Do you remember where I left off with Nikolai Dante? Um, months ago? Fear not, because Volume Six brings us a status reset from Robbie Morrison, John Burns, and the returning Simon Fraser!

In a troubling move, I've added a publication date for every issue Shelfdust has ever written about. The earliest comic we've ever covered? From 1946

So what IS happening at SDCC this year and please can I be invited to it

I switched from pure energy drinks to sugar free energy drinks and I’m worried they aren’t shortening my lifespan anymore

One bit of advice for anyone having an argument with a stranger on socials: no, that other person didn’t read the full article they just shared

If you think YOU have thoughts about Guy Gardner, you should see what @punkrokmomjeans.bsky.social has to say about him! shelfdust.com/2020/08/03/s...

Sanctioned Buffoonery: Justice League International is What We Need Right Now!shelfdust.com By Chloe Maveal If you’re anything like me, a good story about a dysfunctional family just seems to hit the spot. Yes, they all love each other but everything is a bit shit and there’s a lot of obstac...

I’ve now read 69 volumes of the Ultimate Collection

He’s regretting this in Heinz Sight

So sleepy now after we all stayed up late last night to read Button Man

Still think the ideal thing would be if we could drill a big hole and sink the country into the sea

Looked at election coverage and every channel's lineup is filled with former politicians who in many cases were directly terrible and left in disgrace? Feels grim to watch them get paid to debate over the country they completely let down

You probably don’t want to hear about Button Man anyway right

Feel like it’d be a good time to do a lengthy thread about a 2000 AD book I’m reading, really clog up the feed

I made a free zine dedicated to the best place to watch pro wrestling, Korakuen Hall in Tokyo. It's 64 pages of photos I've taken from 2019-2023, & one page with a match guide. In between that first run and the last, I got serious about photos. I hope you dig it davidbrothers.itch.io/korakuen-hal...

One of my favorite moments during our abbreviated publicity run for Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen was on a panel when someone asked @mattfraction.bsky.social what he thought old Jimmy stories were about. Matt made his eyes huge, leaned into the mic and moaned "myteenagebodyischangingwhatdoesitMEAN?"

Anna sure has made some CONTENT

My latest for Shelfdust, on The Ecstasies of Jimmy O: "Maybe the Silver Age is also about the pleasures of the flesh, and the many different things a body can do and feel within extravagantly escapist enclaves." #Superman #JimmyOlsen #LizardGunk shelfdust.com/2024/07/03/s...

i’ve written a decent amount for @stevewmorris.bsky.social over the years but for shelfdust’s seventh anniversary it only makes sense to go to my series on seven soldiers of victory shining knight, one of my greatest personal achievements shelfdust.com/2020/03/10/s...

Land’s End: T. Trewhella on John Constantine: Hellblazer #6shelfdust.com By T. Trewhella John Constantine, like Captain America, is a pen and ink avatar conjured to deal with a fascist ideology. Both are agents of empires, men out of time who believe they serve a higher pu...

People often write about the first issue of a new comic book series. But how often do they write about the last issue? Dust To Dust, a series of essays about finales: shelfdust.com/tag/dust-to-...
