It's About to Get CRAZY.
|
I've been holding onto a bit of a secret. For the last several months, my wife and I have been house hunting. It started out as just window shopping, scoping out neighborhoods and making mental notes for the end of our lease next year. But when we found out we were expecting another child, it became clear we needed a space upgrade ASAP. Simply put, we can't fit another human in this house, so... we're moving! For peace of mind's sake, I don't talk much about my private life on the internet. But we have a sort of social contract. I make videos, and you watch them. So you need to know why I'm not great at holding up my end of the deal at the moment. We're set to make the big move JUST before Santa gets here, so expect sporadic posting until then. Packing up the whole house while your wife is 7 months pregnant doesn't leave much time for reading, but I can't wait to show you what the new comic room looks like! This big move is going to cap off what has been an insane year for the channel. We've worked with several comic publishers including BOTH of the Big Two, conducted dozens of interviews including Christopher Priest and Denys Cowan, and it looks like we're set to hit the 15,000 subscriber Milestone in just a few weeks! I know Thanksgiving is in a few days, but I've been feeling the gratitude all year, and you're a big part of that. I can't thank you enough for making this hobby so special for me. One More Thing This Friday at 9pm Eastern, I'm teaming up with Dynamic Forces to bring you a LIVE Claim Sale on the channel! I had a chance to pre-screen the inventory, so I can promise a few things.
I'm going to give away my original printing of Fantastic Four: Full Circle to one lucky member of the live chat. We haven't had a proper episode of The Hangout in a while, so I'm excited aobut this. I hope to see you there! Until then... Read Something Dope Today, BJ KICKS |

Some time in the next few weeks, I'm going to have to pack all my family's belongings into a moving truck and into our (hopefully) forever home. Of course, my entire comic collection is coming with us. Some terrible habits over the years meant I had to spend a week just organizing my books. But that part is done, and now I can pack up all the boxes. As tempted as I am to just hire a moving company, I have trust issues. I'm already over this process, and never want to do it again. Check out my...
It's been a crazy couple of weeks, huh? Amid all the upheaval, perhaps the biggest change in my daily routine is having to post more on BlueSky, where my follower count jumped from 500 to 1500 seemingly overnight. If you're up for adding another time suck to that rectangle you spend way too much time looking at, it seems BlueSky is where the bulk of comic creators have landed after a concerning update to Xwitter's Terms of Service agreement. Repost this image (if you dare) Saturday, I decided...
Fun fact: I started typing this email nearly 2 weeks ago, back when I was still pretending I wasn’t dog tired and didn’t need a break after the whirlwind that was New York Comic Con. I crashed into a sleep coma the Tuesday after NYCC and left this message sitting in the drafts. In the week since, I’ve had a major auto repair, a surprise flat tire on my way to vote the next day, and had to put down my mom's family dog. And that was all AFTER the splitting headache that knocked me out last...
