Is there a specific term for government by angry, ignorant 12-year-olds?
Amelia Shadows has never had what you might call a “normal” childhood. For one thing, her dad’s the most powerful dark magician in the world. And for another, she’s spent her entire life in a house filled with ghosts and monsters and incredibly dangerous magical objects! As far as Amelia’s concerned, her life’s actually pretty cool. When Amelia and her cat, Clara, aren’t having adventures or dealing with dimensional portals in the pantry, she’s learning to be a dark magician, just like her dad, with the help of a ghost tutor named Gustave. You’d think a ghost tutor named Gustave would be pretty fun, but he’s actually pretty boring. And if a boring ghost tutor wasn’t bad enough, now Amelia’s dad has hired another ghost to oversee things, Hans. Which wouldn’t be that bad, except Hans has very strong opinions about how things should be around the house. This new head ghost has got to go, and Amelia may have a surprising ally… Magic and mischief and a life lesson or two from Matthew Dow Smith, creator of DC’s Misfits of Magic and Maverick’s The October Girl.

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."
Starting to look like returning a sociopath to the Oval Office was a bad idea, huh?
My homage to Giant Size X-Men #1, that debuted 51 years in February 1975! It marked the relaunch of the X-Men comic after a multi year hiatus and the beginning of the titles ascension to the most popular title in the comic book industry throughout the late 70's and all of the 80's.

I wrote about Trump’s delusions as both a massive weakness for the regime and a major impediment to the Right’s authoritarian project – but also a dangerous source of further radicalization, as the Trumpists are hellbent on imposing their unreality on the rest of us.

We need names and prosecutions.
Corner boxes are next to godliness.

This is cool.
As he was working on JLA/Avengers, George used to bring the pages over to the CrossGen studio so he could show them off.
Well, I was gonna buy you TWO bourbons, so you just lost one!
Not yet. Plannning on getting a solo ticket -- easier to come by --when the dynamic pricing comes down a bit. Probably Madison Square Garden.
Aw, man, the only thing I got playing in my head is endless dumb ideas for comics...
