Batman: Year One

Frank Miller

Eric Francisco

My favorite trivia about this seismic comic is that Frank Miller was freaking out about turning 30 so he came up with a story where Batman was old so he could feel better about his own age Having just turned 31, deeply relatable https://t.co/PILZ0gtV6h

Star Wars: The High Republic - Trail of Shadows

Daniel Jose Older

@TamarWrites Marvel and Star Wars have always been for kids. Comics were explicitly a children's medium. Splitting hairs, Star Wars more or less invented the all-ages cinematic tentpole that appeals heavily but not exclusively to kids. I think what plagues Power Rangers is (1/)

Tetris: The Games People Play

Brian Box Brown

Eric Francisco

@JoAnnaScience Tetris: The Games People Play by Box Brown is a fascinating exploration into the making of Tetris and its almost unexpected geopolitical fallout during the Cold War. It's also aesthetically beautiful and playful https://t.co/z4b5JeLSvr

Batman: Universe

Brian Michael Bendis

Eric Francisco

Inverse is marking 15 years of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I got on the line with the one and only Brian Michael Bendis, who wrote the now iconic post-credits scene of Iron Man, to reveal how a late-night call from Kevin Feige started the whole thing. https://t.co/XGgC2CCYve
