I know nobody cares, but...

Marvel picked MY fucking short story, "Lost Cause," to be the official excerpt for the updated announcement of the Captain America: The Shield of Sam Wilson anthology.

No, really, look: https://www.marvel.com/articles/culture-lifestyle/captain-america-the-shield-of-sam-wilson-features-original-short-stories-excerpt-cover

I'm fucking shocked they picked mine. What a tremendous honor to represent our boy. <3

On the off chance someone cares, info below!

As a Black man in America, Sam Wilson knows he has to be twice as good to get half as much credit. He must be a paragon of virtue for a nation that has mixed feelings towards him. In these thirteen brand-new stories, the all-new Captain America must thwart an insurrectionist plot, travel back in time, foil a racist conspiracy, and save the world over and over again.

As the Falcon, Sam Wilson was the first African American super hero in mainstream comic books. Sam’s trials and tribulations reflect the struggles many Black Americans go through today, as Sam balances fighting supervillains and saving the world with the difficulties of being the first Black Captain America. This action-packed anthology inspired by the Marvel comic book universe, will see Sam team up with familiar friends like Steve Rogers, Redwing and Nomad, while fighting HYDRA, Sabretooth, Kingpin, and other infamous villains.

These are stories of death-defying courage, Black love and self-discovery. These are the stories of a super hero learning what it means to be a symbol. These are the stories of Sam Wilson.

Release date: January 14, 2025

I wrote a short story about a college dropout who develops a homosexual interest in a bridge troll who then gets crushed after a Tesla drives over its bridge too many times (triggering a collapse), and the woman organizing the anthology said “thank you very much for submitting this but it does not fit our theme of tragic queer horror”

2024 art summary! it sure has been a year

[novelconcepts]

Fall of the House of Usher has everything, tbh. Seven Deadly Sins family. Everyone’s queer. No one has a moral compass. Nightmare goblin energy everywhere. The most grotesque deaths you’ve ever seen. Hilarious snark. The hottest women in the world. Carla Gugino in fifteen different wigs. Violent lesbians. Cats coming out on top. Cool tattoos. Orgiastic vibes. Katie Parker being Just A Lady, for once. Terrific hair. A granddaughter who takes no shit. Intimacy issues galore. Storytime. Storytime. Storytime.

duke & jace story today was very fun <3 would love to see vita ayala write more duke bc he was such a little shit in this and we have not gotten enough of duke being a little shit lately. particularly enjoyed duke talking about the batfam existing to take the load off of each other bc it’s the first comic to my memory to directly explain why duke accepted bruce’s offer? and then the segue to why he’s seeking jace out specifically to commiserate bc even while they have each other’s back the other bats don’t get it in the same way, esp with duke in particular operating in daylight and having his every action able to be under scrutiny. ALSO duke effectively functioning as a robin to jace—bringing light and hope to jace’s brooding and balancing him out, that was everything to me!! lots of fun little nuances that ayala was able to work into a short page count that was largely a lead up to duke and jace playing spades, thoroughly enjoyed it

A whole anthology of fantasy stories about horses? Yes, please!

[emeryleewho]

This is the place where everyone talks about wanting unique stories, interesting independent projects, all that jazz, so I want to shout out this anthology that I just found that sounds BEYOND fucking amazing.

"TELL THEM OF US" is a comic anthology that explores the last recorded voices of human civilization, witnessed through the lens of an alien crew discovering a hastily assembled digital archive of our memories: Our attempt, as a species, at both legacy and warning, created in the face of oblivion.

Anyway, I am not at all affiliated with this project, but I did back it and would like to see it come to fruition, so please boost it and support it! (Also one of my favorite artists has a story in this and I will cry if I don't get to read it, thanks)
