2024 Good Vibrations
Plus! Batman's cool! Devil's Reign is ... THICC?!
First of all, I don’t need to explain myself to you. I am a grow adult man and I can do grown adult man things if I like. But, that being said, I want to be clear here: I was googling “Hitachi Magic Wand” for work. No, not for an upcoming issue of Batman (the cowards at DC don’t believe in PLEASURE), but for Public Domain.
Anyway, I googled it and this was the result:
It’s not every day that you google a sex toy and see it represented to the entire world with the photo of a comics friend, but, yes, that is indeed Erika Moen, creator of the wonderful comics site OH JOY SEX TOY. Which means I had the distinct pleasure of emailing her to let her know that she is the default image for the legendary vibrator’s Wikipedia page. A truly auspicious start to 2024!
So, with that: HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I’ve been laying low, and by laying low I mean playing Spider-Man again on my dusty old PS4, so there’s not a lot of cool, breaking news to share with you all.
Except! Next week the gigantic DEVIL’S REIGN omnibus is in stores! This bad boy brick collects the whole series plus all the tie-ins. I haven’t put my hands on a copy yet, but Omar at Near Mint Condition did, so you can check it out here:
God, I miss Marco.
Anyway, good timing on this release with that rumor I started about the MCU adapting the storyline! I, uh, mean, the rumor that I … read … yeah … that’s it…
SHAMELESS
Letting go of shame is my New Year’s resolution!!!
In all the holiday reverie (fighting Electro and Vulture simultaneously) I completely blanked that Batman #141 was coming out! So, yeah! It’s out! And Batman’s very cool in it, IMO.
God, it’s fun writing Batman. We’re really alike so it’s incredibly easy.
And that’s it! If you miss my horrific voice, I did an hour with Comic Source about all sorts of projects, so go check it out IF YOU DARE
Bye!

It's still so weird to see Joker just being all "hey, Bruce Wayne! my enemy." Can't recall when that started. Snyder run? Man, Failsafe/Zur is insane! Gonna be an all-timer "villain."
Last Newburn was nuts! Love it!
Chip, for the love of god and the personal safety of everyone around you, do not let go of shame. Instead try to resolve to be better at it and we'll all have a better 2024.
