So you saw the new #DoctorWho trailer? Don't think you can make it till the launch in November w/o another #DavidTennant/DW fix? Now would be the perfect time to ask your Local Comic Shop to pull you a copy of the all-new, upcoming DW graphic novel: ONCE UPON A TIME LORD! 💙💙

Have watched this a ZILLION times today. Ahhh! November needs to hurry up and get here already! 💙💙

Dear Comic Shop Retailers, Thank you for the vote of confidence!😮 The entire Spider-Boy team is working hard to make sure there's a wonderfully weird book out there for Marvel Fans! It really is something we're very proud of-- and we really hope people like it! See you Nov 1st!

Episode 168 of Doctor Who: Panel to Panel is live! Once Upon a Time Lord comes out on October 31st and writer @DanSlott (Amazing Spider-Man, Fantastic Four) joins me to talk about and all things #DoctorWho ! https://t.co/rc44f3WvCR

Also... If you think a storyline has "broken" your favorite character for "all time", and you can't come up w/ an idea for a story that'd fix that, then your fan powers are lacking. Because I guarantee you, there are hundreds (if not thousands) of fans who can come up w/ a fix.😉

Despite any histrionics, there's always the knowledge that the fanbase that existed before you felt the exact same way over a previous story or status quo. And, guess what, that character we all know and love is still here and still thriving. They're going to be okay.🙂 6/6

W/o these wild swings and stories that take big risks, there'd be the danger of the property growing stale and predictable. And, again, for a character to have survived so long, there's the knowledge a reboot, reinvention, or hand-wave could put all the toys back in the box. 5/

...and whenever that happens, whatever ways those stories deviate from the norm will inevitably upset a number of the hardcore fans. Conversely, they could also excite other parts of the base and catch the attention of new fans. These deviations are necessary time to time. 4/

"But the current storyline hurts and disrespects the character! I'm defending them!" For a character to stay vital/fresh, especially one that's been around for 50+ years, storytellers have to take risks and try things that haven't been done with that character before... 3/

"But what if I don't want to wait that long?" If a legacy character has been around for 50+ years, chances are good that there are hundreds (if not thousands) of stories about them in various media you haven't read/seen/experienced yet. More than enough to tide you over. 2/

🧵 It's impossible to ruin/destroy a longstanding legacy character. If an iconic character's been around for 50+ years, they're indestructible. Whatever current aspect/storyline displeases you as a fan can be hand-waved away down the road. The character you ❤️ will be fine. 1/6

Someone posted to me how disappointed they were w/ the HIMYM series finale. There IS an alternate ending. If you choose to make that alt-ending your personal canon, then it does kinda redeem the whole last season of an on-the-whole amazing series. Here: https://t.co/QzUoqAD2x2

YUP! My first SPIDER-BOY #1 signing's in Canada! 🇨🇦Land of Coffee Crisps and Ketchup Chips!🇨🇦

"Dan Slott made a post telling people not to buy his work." Yes. That's EXACTLY what I did there. (The internet: Where everything you say will be twisted by SOMEBODY. Especially if they have something they want to sell.)

It's a weird concept, but... If there's a movie or TV show you don't want to see, or a book or comic you don't want to read... ...you can avoid 'em. No one's forcing entertainment on you. There's a HUGE assortment of other choices for you. Which is awesome! Pick what you LIKE.

SPIDER-BOY #2 and SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN #2 covers for December 2023! One of these comics guest stars Captain America AND Santa Claus. (Wouldn't that be weird if it were Superior?)
