Written by John Layman Drawn by Afu Chan Published by Image Comics/Skybound Entertainment PREVIOUSLY: Outer Darkness #1 Captain Riggs hates cats. That’s one of the first things we learn about him this issue, although we’re not given any specific reason why. But I also hate cats for no particular reason, so it just makes me…
PRODIGY. #1
Written by Mark Millar Drawn by Rafael Albuquerque Published by Image Comics I haven’t picked up a Mark Millar comic since I bought the first issue of his series EMPRESS back in 2016, but I was definitely intrigued when I first heard about this new series of his.

Outer Darkness #1
Written by John Layman Drawn by Afu Chan Published by Image Comics/Skybound Entertainment I’ve been waiting for this eries every since I first say John Layman post about it on his Facebook page months ago.

LIFE UNDERWATER by J.R. LeMar and Samax Amen
PREVIOUSLY: DJINNX by J.R. LeMar and Samax Amen As I said, I was having a blast working on Djinnx with Mr. Amen, but I wanted to stretch our creative muscles and see what else we could do together.

Now THIS Is What I Call BLACK POWER!

If you could be a top athlete in any sport, which sport would you choose?
I saw this question recently asked on QUORA and it made me think. As I’ve written before, I’m not into sports, so for me to ponder this question it wouldn’t even be about what sport I would most enjoy playing, I would pick whichever would be the easiest way for me to earn the most…
So…About CHRIS HARDWICK…
I’ve avoiding writing about this. Perhaps the smart thing would be to continue to not do so? But I’ve never claimed to be all that smart, so here I go. First, I want to establish a few things. Number one is that I am NOT in any way shape or form, some type of Chris…
Self-Service and Robots
Someone posted this on Facebook recently, and while I agree with it in theory, I simply don’t see it working in reality. THIS is the end-result of Capitalism, folks. The purpose of businesses is to make as much profit for their owners as possible. Sometimes it means hiring the bare minimum of employees that they…
Punishing Your Children By Publicly Humiliating Them
Longtime readers know that I do not have any children (that I know of), and never plan to ever have children. So I know that in the eyes of many that automatically invalidates any opinion that I have on the issue of child-rearing, including the punishment of children. And, hey, I can see some truth…
Which Door?
A friend posted this on Facebook recently: For the sake of this discussion, let’s make a few things clear. If you go through the Blue door you will arrive 15 years in the future (so, if you’re reading this when it’s posted, that would be the year 2033), and you would be physically 15 years…
Uber is STILL Super (and so is Lyft)!
PREVIOUSLY: UBER is SUPER! and The Gift of LYFT Yep, that’s right, I’m still using them, and still loving the services. There have been a few changes since my previous posts. Uber has since added a “tip” feature, to match Lyft’s. They both also now have a “multiple-stop” feature, so that now you don’t have…
How NOT To Promote Yourself On Social Media, PART 2
I just came across this in my filtered inbox on Facebook. It’s a prime example of the type of thing I was just writing about it in THIS POST. I don’t know this fellow, we are not connected on Facebook or any other social media. And just out of the blue he sends me this…
THANK YOU, to President Trump (and Kim Kardashian)!
No, those aren’t words that I ever expected to write, either. But… President Donald Trump has commuted the sentence of Alice Marie Johnson, a first-time nonviolent drug offender, a week after Kim Kardashian West pleaded her case during an Oval Office meeting with Trump. Johnson has already served 21 years of a life sentence after…

Some of you might think…
If You Could Pick Any Fictional Character To Be Your Best Friend, Who Would You Pick?
Hmmm, a fictional character? Well, okay then, how about…GOD? Just kidding (sort of). Actually, this choice is pretty easy for me, I’d pick this guy: No, I don’t mean Henry Cavill, the actor (although I wouldn’t mind getting to know him, too), I mean the comic-book character, SUPERMAN! As for WHY? I’d assume that answer…
6 RANDOM QUESTIONS
Found these from some random message board, figured I’d go ahead and answer them here. 1) WHEN YOU WERE A KID, WHAT DID YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GREW UP? I’m pretty sure I’ve answered this before, but I wanted to be a rapper. 2) WOULD YOU WANT TO LIVE IN SOME OTHER COUNTRY…
How NOT To Promote Yourself On Social Media
Author Kate Reedwood recently shared this little exchange she had with author Gary Starta: First of all, I’ve gotten my share of messages like this across Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram myself over the years. And, yes, it is annoying. Someone will follow or add me, so after a quick skim of their profiles where if…
The WORST Thing, So Far, About The Trump Presidency Is. . .
…that it’s actually starting to make me nostalgic for this guy: Seriously. This is the stage we’re in. This is how far the Republican Party has fallen, with Trump in office. Whatever else you may think of George W. Bush, I bet he would not had a problem condemning Roseanne Bar’s tweet about Valerie Jarrett.…

MY COMIC STRIP CLUB CROSSOVER
PREVIOUSLY: BOSS FROM HELL by J.R. LeMar and Celina Hernandez As I said before the first two comic strips I created, Djinnx with Samax and Boss From Hell with Celina, where going to be my only strips. And the plan was to switch the two strips each Monday. So, somewhere along the line I thought it…
BOSS FROM HELL by J.R. LeMar and Celina Hernandez
PREVIOUSLY: DJINNX by J.R. LeMar and Samax Amen Now this is technically the second strip I created, although it began first. Let me explain. So after I’d came up with the idea for DJINNX and sent the first idea (or I think I may have sent him the first two scripts at once, but I…
