I’ve updated my list to reflect “Black Adam” and “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” being released. As of this writing, the latter is now the third highest-grossing film on the list., after the two billion-dollar entries (the original “Black Panther” and “Aquaman”).
Happy New Year’s, everyone! Time to look back over my blog for 2022.
Happy Halloween, everyone! I take a look at Halloween in six cartoons, from “It’s the Great Pumpkin” to “Scooby-Doo.”
A look at pieces of technology I’ve stopped using, from analog watches to cable TV.
A look at PBS Kids' "Jelly, Ben & Pogo," a series of animated shorts about two Filipino-American siblings and their sea monster pal.
RIP Kevin Conroy.

Lately, I've wondering if it's worth continuing my monthly graphic novel picks/news blog posts, or if I should end the series.
It's a series I've been running since the blog launched, originally just for single-issue comics, and separate posts for each publisher. Since then, they've dwindled to DC/Marvel/indie book posts; then, a single monthly post for comics; and a few years ago, I switched to graphic novels instead of single issues (since I mostly read those now/as more evergreen posts).
However, I notice lately the posts have been sparse in actual recommendations. I've been down to just *one* graphic novel or trade paperback in recent months.
And even trying to pad out the "news" part with comic thoughts isn't helping. Today's post for December still seems short.
Some of it might also be my own shifts in comic reading. Most of it lately has been webcomics; my graphic novel reading lately seems to have slacked off, going by my TBR list in Hoopla. My interest in mainstream DC and Marvel has also largely waned, on top of that. Those just looking for canonical/mainstream Marvel Universe/DCU books wouldn't find them in said posts?
Again, the monthly comic/graphic novel picks have been a mainstay of my blog since it launched; I figured having a regular blog feature would be a good thing. But if I'm struggling to think of material for it, I wonder how useful it really is to others, or if I should end it.
What do you all think? Do you find the comic picks posts interesting? Or would you be OK with me writing about something else? (And if so, what?)
I look at the 10 highest-grossing animated movies starring people of color, from "Coco" to "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse."
I figure I should repost this one, given ongoing events...
In my latest round of Mastodon advice, I list some of my favorite accounts to follow.
Yes, RSS readers still exist. I look at some of my favorites.
