Man of Action, co-creator of Ben 10, Gen. Rex, I Kill Giants, Four Eyes, and Bad Dog. Wrote reams of comics, hours of animation, and one film so far. Lucky guy.
Started a YouTube Channel about creativity, writing, and surviving that artlife! If you want to hear how I do it, the good the bad and the ugly, please check it out and consider subscribing here:
I rolled the dice on a film last night and am so glad that I did:
#RRRMovie
was a spectacular adventure and a great introduction for me to Indian Cinema. 100% RECOMMEND! If anyone can recommend other films - any genre - that they love from India, I'm looking for more.
As of today, I haven't had a drink or drug for 10 years. 3652 days of continuous sobriety. It's not always easy or fun. But my life is REAL and exponentially better for it. If you're struggling - keep at it. Have faith. Ask for help. You're worth the fight. 💗
Today marks 15 years of continuous sobriety for me, one day at a time. I share this not to brag - but maybe help someone who's struggling. I'm living proof that things get better with time, and there's nothing you can't handle without a drink or drug.

What are you guys reading?
This is a beautiful story about a creative powerhouse who went too soon. Ben 10 fans (any animation fans, really!) should know who Dwayne was and celebrate his work. This story is one of many shared today about what a kind, generous guy he was.
Today is
@Dwayne_McDuffie
's birthday. He would have been 62 today, if he hadn't passed unexpectedly one day after his 49th birthday.
To me, and most everyone who knew him, Dwayne was a light we all orbited in someway. There are many great creators.
Dwayne was a giant.

fans who are celebrating the 15th anniversary of Ben's debut. Whether you have watched from day one or discovered the show this year, all of us at

appreciate your passion and support. Thank you for watching! 🙏🙏🙏
Before today plunges into a screaming hellscape, I want to take a moment to recognize that there is a hero called "Godzillo" in the My Hero Academia movie. I want all the Godzillo. Look for joy where you can.
Very proud to announce that Spider-Man + Deadpool has won the 2018 Gaiman Reader's Choice award! On behalf of the entire team, I'd like to thank the readers for their support and the translators for making the jokes even funnier in Japanese. Thank you!
Today marks 13 years of sobriety for yours truly. Grateful to all who helped me get here. Used to be afraid that life would be less fun & my creativity would suffer. Thankful I learned otherwise. If ur giving sobriety a shot, stick with it, even when life sucks. You are worth it.
Today I celebrated 16 years of continuous sobriety, one day at a time. Not a humble brag - but shared to maybe help someone. If you’re struggling, don’t suffer in silence. Ask for help and you’ll get it. Give yourself the gift of a second chance. You deserve it. ❤️

Akira Toriyama had a seismic influence on pop culture. His work defined a genre for so many and will be a tangible influence in comics, animation, and creativity for generations. Rest in peace.
Last night my eye sockets and ear holes were lovingly, expertly assailed by every bombastic frame of

For the record: While I appreciate the great American sport of baseball, I'm not the professional player you're mad at and/or happy about today. As much as I've enjoyed the praise and the challenge to a boxing match, I'm a writer... but not HIMYM Joe Kelly!
#SomanyJoeKellys
...If you liked the film, please go rate and review it. Word of mouth is huge for a film like this, and your kind words will go a long way. So please hit those starts, leave a fresh review, and tell your friends. Thank you!

Thanks for your patience & enthusiasm. Hope that you and yours are all healthy. See you in 2021!
Today marks 14 years of continuous sobriety for me, collected one day at a time. Grateful for the life I have and the road I'm on.
If you're struggling with drugs or alcohol, help is literally a phone call away. If I can do it, so can you. ❤️
The man created dreams. One of them, Spider-Man, became a cornerstone of my imagination; my favorite hero. Words can't express my gratitude for his gifts. RIP Steve Ditko.

is one of my all time favorite Spider-Man villains. I never thought I would see him on the big screen... WITH the cape... and the GAUNTLETS... AND THE HELMET! I am beside myself with glee after seeing that trailer.
Thank you, I'm sorry, and thank you for everyone responding to

A while back, I wrote and directed a short film called Poughkeepsie. I'm very proud of it. It won a few awards at a few festivals. If you haven't seen it, here's a half hour to help fill some quarrantime:

Still reeling from

MUST SEE. Believe the hype. Animation has a new gold standard. Story, action, acting, design, cinematography, emotion, all tuned to perfection. Reminded me why I love Spidey, comics and cartoons. It's glorious work all around.
Happy
#GodzillaDay
!! (And yes, that is a "What Would Godzilla Do?" mini-holofoil-poster!)
I realized that I have never read/seen a definitive story of how the original came to be - any recommendations?
This is something people oddly don't get. Share the love of stuff /creators you are into WITHOUT attacking something/someone else. It's totally doable and makes the community stronger.
Loving the outpouring of love and joy and passion and appreciation of

- it warms my heart!
But there’s no need to put down other films while celebrating this one. Let’s ride this positive feeling!

I’ve never been paid for a tweet in my life - is that a thing? Also, it’s fine to like different things. And over the top things as well. :)
Walt's a bona fide icon who helped me feel at home as a newbie in the Marvel offices just by taking time to chat, be supportive, and kind. Fun fact, he is also 1/2 of one of the nicest human couples in comics history! : )
UPDATE: I slept on it, and upon awakening

You know I love you, Joe. But I'm a physics teacher now and... Joe. You can't add discrete quantities, Joe. Also, momentum is the product of mass and velocity. But I still love you and miss you forever.

Very sad to hear about the passing of Stephen Hillenberg. Spongebob set a bar creators are still reaching for. The perfect mix of absurdity, imagination, subversion, hope, unabashed joy and most important, inclusion for the oddball in all of us. RIP & thanks for all the laughs.
I AM NOT EMOTIONALLY PREPARED FOR THIS.
Love the first film with every fiber of my being and this looks to top it from the trailer alone.
This work thrills me on every level - as a Spidey fan, a film buff, and especially a pro in animation. LET'S GOOOOO!
The all-new trailer for SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE is out now!
The incredible crew is working hard finishing the film, and I can tell you: it’s a fun, gorgeous, emotional ride — like nothing you’ve never experienced before.
We’re barely a week away from the US release of “I Kill Giants”, both in theaters and on-demand!
