It’s been a while since I sent one of these. Two months, to be precise, but I needed the break.

Reading the X-Men Krakoa Era: Part 2
(This continues from Reading the X-Men Krakoa Era: Part 1.)
The first X-Men comic I ever read was Rom: Spaceknight #32.

Reading the X-Men Krakoa Era: Part 1
In 2019, something very exciting happened to Marvel’s X-Men comics, which, by that point, were sustaining themselves mostly with a readership that was already thoroughly invested in them, as is the case with a lot of corporate comics these days. (Also, at the time, Fox wasn’t owned by Disney, so Marvel wasn’t as invested in the X-Men, but they tend not to come out and admit that.)

Status / 2024 / Week 01: Part 1 – Best of 2023
First newsletter of 2024! I’m back home in Pune, settling in. We got back home early on the 5th, which turned out to be Friday, so I don’t have to officially start the year till Monday.

The Deviant
Comics pal and frequent collaborator James Tynion IV recently sent over an advance PDF of his upcoming horror comic The Deviant, created with artist Joshua Hixson and letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou. Since, I’ve come to realise, this blog can be whatever I want it to be, I thought I’d use this place to shill what I think is an excellent comic.

Status Update / 2023 / Week 39
I’m writing this from my other favourite café – the one where I’m friends with the owners. One of them had just come back from a coffee conference, and gave me a packet of coffee to take home, and made me a delicious pourover of an as-yet-unlaunched coffee.
Pays to have a favourite café, I tell you.

(more…)So.
Here’s what I’m trying to do.
I’ve said many times over that I want to use my blog more, so I want to start doing that. All the stuff that I naturally post on Twitter? Let’s see if it can go here. I want to live here again, if I can.
