Have you noticed that all the major film/entertainment outlets this week would rather talk about the failure of one live-action film than the success of 5 animated ones? This is part of the reason why we're fighting so hard for fair treatment, pay and representation.
For the first time ever in Box Office HISTORY, 5 animated films occupies the top 10 at this week’s domestic box office: • The Wild Robot (#2) - $13.45M • Piece by Piece (#5) - $3.8M • Transformers One (#6) - $3.65M • My Hero Academia: You’re Next (#8) - $3.007M • The

Had a blast boarding Rouge throwing 5 episodes worth of grief and anger into Bastions face. Shout out to @MarvinBritt4 for giving amazing boards to work with!!!
#XMen97 is a TRIUMPH! This season's focus on characters and relationships made it a thrilling week-to-week ride. The finale pays off with big character moments, wrapping up storylines and setting up new ones for S2. The balance of closure and anticipation is perfect. I’m in awe!

When one of the most prolific comic book writers that I've read for YEARS gives flowers to the show that I wrote on 🤯
X-Men ‘97 took me back to the glory days of my youth when Byrne/Austin were contributing story & art! It’s a mash up of all the best era’s! LOVE IT! Cable was amazing! And if the Askani looked that cool in the comics…. WOW!

'Nuff said.
The thing about X-men 97 is, it's the truest example team effort. I refuse to take any singular credit for anything on this show, because we all were in the Danger Room together. #XMen97
