"I never liked his work."

Ed Piskor, author of such works as X-men: Grand Design, Hip-Hop Family Tree and Red Room, has been accused of being abig old creep by alt comix artist Molly Dwyer. A few other women have made statements about his behavior as well. Doesn't seem like a great situation and there will probably be more people with lots to say...but you know who we don't need to hear from?

The people who just want to air our their worthless opinions on some dumb comics.

Death of a Dragon

A self-portrait by Akira Toriyama from Dragonball volume 1

Akira Toriyama passed away on March 1st, 2024 at the age of 68. 

Like the rest of the world, I learned about Toriyama's passing when it was announced on March 7th. 

Reading that shit hurt. I'm sure there's more eloquent ways to express that but I won't be able to find those words for a while. 

I have been a Toriyama obessive since I was 7 years old and stumbled across a channel playing Dragonball episodes in spanish at 5am. I didn't understand why that kid had a tail, why that guy was green, or what the hell anybody was saying but I wanted to climb into my television and live in that world. A few years later I would find his manga and that would be a wrap - my fandom was cemented.

Read This If You Like Invincible

I recently had a work trip to New York City so I decided to kill some time on my train ride by reading a trade that's been collecting dust in my collection:
 

I remember being really excited for this comic when it was announced - and equally curious and hyped as it spun off into the horribly titled Massive-verse. I was a big fan of Higgins' tenure on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and was excited to see him both launch his own toku inspired book and guide a line of similar comics
 

With my reading of Radiant Black volume 1, I've seen enough to know that the Massive-verse is not for me.
