@pipelinecomics You and me both - Old Invincible Hipsters unite

I read Invincible every month a new issue was released for 140 months. These days, that makes me an Invincible Hipster. And probably Old.

@RyanOttley I picked it up a little late, issue 13, but it was a nonstop, must read favorite of mine every issue afterward. Love that there is a serious glow up for the books now…absolutely well deserved.

Yes, the invincible comics are selling now better than they ever have. The readers we did have throughout the original release absolutely loved the book and wondered why more didn’t read it. But we all know why, most readers back then would tell you “I’m more of a Marvel guy.” Etc, It’s just most comic readers during that time were not interested in new superheroes. It took a hit tv show to bring in new readers into the industry. And the more fans I meet, the more I see that anime fans who are used to buying the manga are really jumping into Invincible in a huge way. And they are watching the show, and getting the books. It’s amazing to see! Nothing harder than bringing new readers outside of comic fandom into our world of comics! Comic industry mainly has sold to its inside readers for decades. So hitting a new giant group of readers is phenomenal. And almost impossible.

Come on @AskOffTrack - in the latest episode @TheTimDurham said he wanted a 'call-sign' but @Hinchtown & @AlexanderRossi ignored his comment. Let's get on this...

@BigMetalBoss @Todd_McFarlane Oh I get it - I’ve been doing this since issue 1

@michaeljsmith0 @Todd_McFarlane Bro. I’ve was collecting the variants for every Spawn comic since 2012. My favorite was when it was just black and white sketch variants now there’s like 3 different covers. I feel this. 😂

BIG CHANGES coming to the SPAWN UNIVERSE this spring! NEW creative teams are stepping in across ALL FOUR core titles… PLUS, i’ll be doing MORE ART!! Stay tuned to see what writers Matthew Rosenberg, Erica Schultz, and Thomas Healy have in store for the next chapter of the SPAWN UNIVERSE! TODD.

@marshallpruett @RACERHQ Back-to-back-to-back races to kick off the season seems like a winning formula

Another ratings win for IndyCar at Arlington racer.com/2026/03/17/ano… via @racerhq

@Hickey93 I contend that all 3 cars should be counted (they paid for the charter so it should matter) - this methodology also moves some of the teams around in the rankings.

This team championship battle might actually be a thrilling one to follow You got the race for P1 between the Top 4, and also the 2-car team battle between ECR and Shank (and the battle to not be last) #INDYCAR

@marshallpruett Feels like 3 good weeks to start the year 📈

Racing around Cowboys', Rangers' stadiums was just what IndyCar needed espn.com/racing/indycar…

@marshallpruett Did Arlington truly set a blueprint, and more importantly an expectation, for future NEW events and changes to existing events?

Going to be a short week for me with an early flight to Sebring on Tuesday, so let's do the call for questions now--pose them below and I'll get to as many as I can.

@wbuxtonofficial If you account for all 3 cars and adjust, RLL falls down to 9th #IndyCar

After Arlington in the entirely imaginary Indycar Team standings where the best 2 race results per team count… a tie at the top but a new P1 Andretti take the lead on a 4th place countback (both have a win, a second and a third). Ganassi take 3rd from McLaren. RLL up to 7th.

@IndyCarChick Somebody entered the prompt “as somebody that has never watched an IndyCar race and doesn’t like the series write me an article” into ChatGPT

Why on earth would you publish this HOURS before an inaugural race IN THIS STATE?! This is trash. And this paragraph is specifically infuriating…

@wbuxtonofficial @Arlington_GP I know in week's past you have liked to post the "team championship standings" here is the 3 team normalized version after 3 round complete - no surprise that 2 teams are head and shoulders above the rest to this point... #IndyCar

What a phenomenal weekend at the @Arlington_GP. Kudos to everyone who conceived the race and made it happen, a tremendous success both on and off the track. A new benchmark for the sport. Deeply impressive. Can’t wait to come back.

The Unofficial #IndyCar Team Championship continues as @AndrettiIndy has taken a slight lead over @Team_Penske w/ @CGRTeams filling out the top 3

Credit to @PatricioOWard and @ArrowMcLaren the only Chevy in the Fast 6 Shootout and the only one in the top 5 of the race…doing the most with lesser power

@robertliefeld That’s a man who has his priorities correctly aligned

If I’m gonna brag and boast about anything, it’s my 31 year marriage to Joy. That’s something!

Pato = STUD

@ArrowMcLaren What if I wait outside the MRC until you guys get back? Can I get one then?
