Yes, it’s here. I realize that, back at the end of February, I said Rising Tides, Capes Book 1, was finished. And it was. Then my principle readers plowed through the “finished” manuscript, and each of them individually, without coordination, told me There Was A Problem. And there was. That problem is now fixed, but … More The Tide is Rising
It’s done. Over a year late and the source of such frustration I almost abandoned it a couple of times, but it’s done. By “done” I mean that my first full draft is completed and is now being read by several trusted alpha-readers, which means that Capes: Rising Tides is now about 2-3 weeks from … More Announcing CAPES: RISING TIDES.
Last Monday, I and a friend who have made a ritual of catching every Marvel Movie in the theater together went and caught The Marvels. Preparing for it, I did my usual thing which is to completely ignore all pre-release hype and post-release criticism; I try and see each new movie with no preconceptions of … More The Marvels Is Fun, But Not Marvelous.
“Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.” Well, nobody’s reported me dead but I just looked up and realized that I haven’t posted here in months so people might have been growing concerned. So, I am well. Oh, you want to know more? Like “Where the heck is Capes?” Capes has been delayed by … More I Am Well.
“Let the heavens rejoice and the earth be glad before the Lord, for He comes.” I don’t often speak of my faith. Not because I feel pressure not to, even in these times of “culture war” (and I really hate that phrase), but because I have a wide readership. I am a member of the … More A Merry Christmas To All.

Soooo. She-Hulk: Attorney At Law’s first season is over, with quit the final episode, too. And what’s my verdict? Well . . . I give it 3 out of 5 stars. And yes, this puts me at odds with Marvel fans on both sides, the fans (and writers) who have been boosting SHAAL as a … More Hulking Out
Samaritan is a fun superhero yarn. In superhero comics, you can’t look too close at the underlying logic; if you do, you lose suspension of disbelief needed to immerse yourself in the story. In Samaritan, you’re given a quick history you can’t look at too closely. Two brothers, who John (Stallone) describes as “genetic freaks” … More The Good Samaritan
When I heard Disney was doing a She-Hulk series I was ecstatic and very, very worried. Not that I spent a whole lot of emotional energy on it, but I really loved She-Hulk in the comics when I discovered her during John Byrne’s fantastic run. JB’s She-Hulk was comedy gold. She-Hulk was the “Anti-Hulk.” She … More Don’t Hulk on She-Hulk
I just came from Love and Thunder, and while parts of it made me laugh (and parts of it were comedy genius), as something of an MCU Thor-fan, I feel dirty. Also as a writer I’m simply “What was that? No, really, what was that?” Let’s talk about the humor, first. Obligatory Spoiler Alert L&T … More I Don’t Love the Thunder
