Today is the last day of 2023 and the last day of my time off. I wish I could go on about how productive it was…but thanks to insomnia and other sleeping issues I ended up sleeping through most of it getting caught up on the sleep I missed at night during the day. I did decide that I really like the theme I’m already using for BW Media Spotlight, and that I can do certain tweaks to my liking, which I may do over the next few days and weeks.
The Clutter Reports returns next week and I want to try do something with The Tronix Tumblr and YouTube because I have those options so I might as well use it. Even X-Twitter is being seen as a potential video platform. For example, Tucker Carlson, a former Fox News contributor who…well, we won’t get into all that drama. Point is he moved his show to TwitterX and I’ve a few other online personas making use of it. I probably won’t but I do want to adjust my feeds so that the official BW feed is just for researching article topics while using my personal feed, with only exists because pre-X Twitter screwed up my official feed for a while, will have more personal interest. Both will still promote my work, because that’s also personal interest.
Here at the Spotlight, the comic order is back to what it was before the Christmas season: Turtles on Monday, Sonic on Wednesday, the remains of my ComiXology library on Thursday, Star Power on Friday, and Blue Beetle on Saturdays. Why yes, “Turtle Tuesday” or “Turtle Thursday” would be more alliterative. Yes, I could move Turtles to Tuesday…in fact I will. So what’s on Monday’s? Well, I did want to work on Malibu’s Ultraverse (using the…legally questionable sites but it’s not like Marvel is using jack anything with it so I kind of don’t care at this point) so why not Malibu Monday? Okay, you talked me into it.
Note for you Ultraverse fans (I know one person encouraged me to explore the Ultraverse when I suggested the possibility–only one but I can’t even get polls with a decent amount of responders): I cannot get Google to show me a simple list of comics by release date, nor any research site I currently have in my bookmarks, nor do I want to spend the rest of my life trying to find one. I have one reading order suggestion list with a few marked “essential” and that’s it. That’s what I’m going by. So if I miss one that’s not in one of the series I’ve opted to continue reading beyond the essentials, whether it’s on the list or not, let me know. I won’t follow any series because I wouldn’t have back in the day. I’m starting with The Strangers #1 and if that’s not the best introduction to the Ultraverse, I’m currently writing this in anger so I don’t care. Hopefully I will when you comment and I’ll have to get caught up next week like I did with the Sonic and Knuckles comics when the Mammoth Mogul story got out of position. That’s all I can do. The internet has proven useless again. {sigh} Okay, moving on.
Also Monday the newest Chapter By Chapter novel will be revealed. I have an article planned about the current state of New Who and what connection I have to it (not officially, mind you), as we’ll resume the Many, MANY Intros of Spider-Man with the 1990s and work to finish season one of the Transformers: Beast Machines writer’s bible before moving to season two. As for what else is coming, I’m at a point where I don’t want to promote something I may not be able to commit to, because that’s a bad habit I want to break. There will be changes as comics end but we’ll cross that when we get to it.
I hope you all have a happy and safe New Year’s. See in you 2024…aka tomorrow! It’s back to work and I don’t have to worry about a hangover.
