The midday sun laid its gold upon the old gravestones, though in black-and-white photographs it turned to silver. Spring wandered unhurried among the stones and weathered epitaphs, and even the silence here seemed alive with the rustle of leaves and the beating wings of songbirds. Not a place of sorrow, but a place of remembrance—warmed by light and reconciled with time. Beneath the spring sky, the ancient cemetery rested peacefully, like a memory scattered by the dust of grief long past, yet not lost to oblivion...

In a welcoming video posted to the platform, series creator J. Michael Straczynski appeared to introduce the official home, emphasizing that it would feature original commentaries, interviews, chats, and additional material in the coming months. This development builds on earlier efforts by Warner Bros. Discovery to make full episodes available for free on YouTube, following the series’ departure from other ad-supported platforms earlier in 2026.
In addition to @pandersonstudio, @colleendoran and the Good Omens musical, Jeremy and Mary, the S1 Bentley, will also be with us!
…and who’s that? Only @terrypratchettestate’s Rob Wilkins and the S2 Bentley!

A look at the difference between my Patreon and my Substack.
One of the things I love to do on my Patreon is move on some of the art supplies and books in my studio. I really can't take the time or energy to sell the books, and haven't any interest in doing so, especially since many were given to me for review purposes. I'd feel bad about that. It makes me happy to move them on to new readers.
Many of the art supplies were also given to me for testing and review purposes. I've given away over 300 swag packages so far.
Again, I'll be at SDCC VERY briefly, one signing on Thursday at the National Cartoonists Society Booth 1307 9:30 AM - 11:00. THAT'S THE ONLY SIGNING.
I will be at the Eisner Hall of Fame Award ceremony as a 2026 nominee. the ceremony is at 10 AM at the Convention Center in room 29CD. Wish me luck.
