A thread of my #comics #writing and analysis to pin. First: #Hickman’s #XMen work on #HouseofX, Tom Miller’s graphic design, and oppression, rage, and numbness in 21st century America. A work more painfully relevant today than when it debuted last year. timlikescomics.tumblr.com/post/187524984…
A review of Judas by Jeff Loveness and Jakub Rebelka. Published by @boomstudios. A moving work of religious art. One of my favorite #comics of the last decade. #writing timlikescomics.tumblr.com/post/181821967…
Here is a bit of a different piece. A theological reflection on #Superman and #superheroes. Wrote this for a class while I was working on my master’s in theology. Just my long way of saying, reading and #writing #comics can be a form of prayer. timlikescomics.tumblr.com/post/126117455…
An old review of @IDWPublishing’s #TMMT Secret History of the Foot Clan mini. Still remains one of my favorite #NinjaTurtles stories and a great intro to the IDW series. Buoyed by Mateus Santolouco’s kinetic art and clear storytelling, this comic rules. timlikescomics.tumblr.com/post/109346180…
Before I was working full time I had grand dreams of #writing a series of posts looking at @grantmorrison’s #Batman run holistically. But then grad school and work took over. With no audience reading this, I had to let it go. Proud of what I did write. timlikescomics.tumblr.com/post/882184503…
Here is the second entry of my #Batman recaps from Morrison’s run. I think I did 2 or 3 more after this before having to drop it. I spent hours doing research for this series. You can find the last few on my blog if you poke around. #comics #writing timlikescomics.tumblr.com/post/883739410…
Oh no the first entry in this thread has an autocorrect typo of a creator’s name I have to start over.
I like rolling this one out around Christmas time every year...Your Holiday Guide to the #DCAU. #cartoons #comics #writing #Batman #Superman timlikescomics.tumblr.com/post/105290085…
I was deeply moved by one of #GrantMorrison’s lesser known #comics, Joe the Barbarian. My #review of this book also reflects on my painful struggle with chronic illness as a child and the power of stories to set us free. timlikescomics.tumblr.com/post/541141264…
Diving into the wayback machine: In college when tumblr was still a big deal I had a moderately large following for these #DCAU rewatch posts. I wrote about nearly every episode of every series from #Batman thru #JLU. Immature style but still a lot of fun. urbaneturtle.tumblr.com/tagged/dcau/ch…
I wrote recaps for every episode of #Daredevil season 1 for a small & now defunct web mag. Still proud of them. I especially enjoyed diving into the series’ surprisingly sensitive and thoughtful portrayal of a struggling Catholic. untiedmagazine.wordpress.com/2015/07/27/mar… #writing #marvel #comics
A deep dive look at the first issue of @ArchieComics Black Hood relaunch in 2015. Particularly looking at the way Michael Gaydos’ art captures a particular sense of claustrophobia and inevitability in the main character’s dark trajectory. timlikescomics.tumblr.com/post/112250958… #comics #writing
Not strictly “writing” but this is a running thread of my analysis/commentary as I read through Jack Kirby’s Fourth World books for the first time. I consider these my notes for an actual analytical piece

Here is my piece published last week on @XavierFiles looking at Nick Spencer’s Amazing #SpiderMan and its hollow obsession with the past, which at nearly 50 issues has failed to tell us anything meaningful about its title character #comics #writing #marvel xavierfiles.com/2020/09/11/is-…
