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 |

I had a whole intro typed about procrastination. I'll get to that later. This week, I gave myself a challenge. Post one video each weekday leading up to HeroesCon. Just so I wouldn't chicken out, I posted the schedule on social media SNL style. Now if I went back on my word, I'd be lying to at least a dozen people. 3 Down, 2 to Go. It's part of what I'm calling the Summer Sprint. After nearly a year of having to put the channel on the backburner while I dealt with more pressing matters on the...
It's a milestone week here in Dope Land. I woke up to two bits of exciting news on Tuesday. First, our audience grew to 18,000 subscribers on YouTube! I've set a goal in my head to reach 20k by November. But the truth is, the number only matters to me as much as I'm bringing joy to the person on the other end of it. That any singular person chooses to spend time listening to what I have to say about an artist's words and pictures will always be mind blowing to me. That makes the next...
Yesterday, I posted a video updating the general public about what I've been up to lately. If you read this briefing regularly, you already know. I'm busy being a family man, yada yada yada. But I also hinted a bit at some things to come on the channel. I've been searching for ways to include more book reviews in my heavily compressed schedule, and I think I've found just the trick in YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels. Look, Ma! I'm in 16x9 format! While I've been hesitant to join the...
