[magpiesbones]

oughhhhh more infinity particle thoughts bc I am Not Done Actually!!

THE. The COMPARISON of being a robot (loaded up with a set of beliefs by your creator with little to no agency in a world you do not understand, experiencing pressure to serve a certain purpose) to being a CHILD (arguably!! The SAME) and the thoughts that this is something you both can and should grow out of!! Yeah you CAN change the core of your beliefs if you disagree with what your parents told you!!

what is a child but a made creature!! What is growing up but figuring out how to be a person anyways!! FUCK

being a person is inevitable but you do in fact have to choose it!!

A Matter of Time

Surf's up, gang! 

Aloha from the beach! Okay, not really. I'm at home at time of writing, but I've made 2 whole trips out to the ocean this week, so I'm feeling beachy! Which, if you live near the water, is a pretty good way to feel in the summertime! 

In enjoying the season, I started thinking about the complex production timelines of comics, the ways in which some comics feel timely when they were created well ahead of the events they seem related to, and a book I read recently that had one time element that really didn't work for me. So let's take some time to talk about time! 

Story of Seasons 

Where I live in the U.S., summer means a certain thing. At this time of year, we're largely through the June Gloom and into hot, sunny days. The sun rises before I'm usually up, and I wake up early, and sets around 8 p.m. Most nights, in at least some parts of town, there are fireworks. Folks are having barbecues at home and along the beach--which people are flocking too. The college-aged kids only roll up after they've got up, and since they don't have school, you can usually not expect to see them before noon. And while the coastline's popping, closer to us, things are quieter exactly because school's out and the college campus has largely cleared out. And, specific to where we live, it means the trolleys and buses and some buildings and street signs, have assumed their summer wrap, promoting Peacock and Futurama's return and whatever else companies spent boodles of money on to promote ahead of and during San Diego Comic-Con. 

That's what the exterior of my life is like right now. Sweet, hot, summertime fun outdoors--though I spend most of my time in with the cats. And there's still a little bit of that in my work. I'm planning meeting up with folks at San Diego Comic-Con and, while I'm not particularly involved, I'm watching Riley Farmer get the Sonic the Hedgehog: Endless Summer one-shot buttoned up for next month. But most of what I'm working on is already well ahead, working actively on releases across the fall, and switching from planning to the first steps of production on our winter releases with spring 2024 already cresting the horizon. 

It's a funky dichotomy. If you go into a comic shop in the next two months, summer programs will be in full swing, from DC's big summer crossover event, Knight Terrors to IDW's Endless Summer, to Ultimate Invasion and the Hellfire Gala stuff Marvel's got going on, as well as Skybound's kicking off their Energon Universe, and whatever stores have left of the projects kicked off for Pride. 

But because you're seeing those things in stores, it means they're done and as I've talked about a bit before, generally comics have to be done a ways before their release. In an ideal situation, a comic is done between 7 and 10 weeks before the on-sale date. In a less ideal situation, a comic needs to be done at least 3 weeks before the on-sale date for most printers/distributors/final-order-cutoff reasons. But, in the former case, it means this next week, I'd be looking at what needs to go out right around mid-September--the first week of fall. And those are the things that'd be finishing. Let's say you'd need at least 10 weeks before that for finalizing the script; drawing, coloring, lettering, and doing any production on the issue; and getting it approved by all the relevant stakeholders. So the things entering that phase in the next week wouldn't actually see stores until the last week of November. 

In the books world, there are three spans, rather than the four seasons. Those are Spring (Feb-May), Summer (Jun-Aug), and Fall (Sept-Jan). And when you're working purely with single-issue comics, when you're in one span, you're generally working on titles for the next. When it comes to collections and OGNs, you can be working on stuff years ahead of time. (As an aside to all this, it's also super interesting that this is how things are sorted because it really speaks to publishing in the northern hemisphere... sorry to anyone in the southern hemisphere who is looking at IDW's Endless Summer and thinking "but it's winter!") 

I bring all this up as a reminder that comics take a long time to make and when there are comics have a particularly timely element, like a summer event, they're the result of months of work and planning to hit that specific date that falls in that seasonal span. And while tons of planning can go into something like a 5th week event (in months with 5 Wednesdays, some publishers will add extra titles on the 5th week so they have releases for that Wednesday without disrupting the regular monthly schedule of their titles), it also means sometimes something happens that seems very intentional, but is purely coincidental! 

Unintended Timeliness

Wendy Xu has a new book coming out next month, The Infinity Particle. Like all of her books, it looks very good. Straight from the copy, it "explores big questions through the eyes of an aspiring inventor and the lifelike AI she finds herself falling for." And in the build-up to release, advance reader copies have gone out to booksellers, librarians, and reviewers--the folks who should see the book early because it will help the book get more traction in stores, libraries, and more visibility with readers. But because of developments over the past year, it also is now very closely tied to a hot button issue: AI. Through the circumstances of the world around The Infinity Particle's release, early reviews and examination of it are inherently looping it into the larger conversation. Wendy's gone on the record about, as she said, "'AI' (derogatory)" and "AI-in-fiction (complimentary)."  But one of the things she's also been very clear about is that she's been working on this book since 2018 when we weren't talking about AI in the same way. 

I bring this all up because, when taken with my previous point about how long it often takes comics to be made, a lot of the timeliness that you may seen in a work can be coincidental. As another example, I've been asked a few times about whether the Metal Virus arc in IDW's Sonic the Hedgehog was in any way inspired by the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic. That arc is, in many ways, about a global pandemic. That arc, also, was pitched over a dinner at WonderCon 2018, where only the very first issue was on sale a week early and the series had not yet launched widely. The majority of it was written and in production before March 2020 when the U.S. really shut down in the early days of their response. So, no, the timelines don't really work out, it was just happenstance. 

And as a writer/artist/editor/etc, that's one of the things you have to keep in mind. I came from journalism, where timeliness was often an important part of storytelling. "New" is 3/4ths of "News." But outside of strips and editorial/political cartoons, it is much harder to incorporate true timeliness to your comics work. So, often, the default is to look for timelessness--something that isn't pegged to a specific event or set of circumstances, but that can be appreciated whenever because it speaks to something larger. Timelessness doesn't need to be forward-looking necessarily. It can be reacting to or interpreting long-standing history. But the benefit of trying to tell a story that always feels relevant, even if the cultural context around it may change the reader's interpretation from your intention (and there's a longer conversation to be had about interpretation vs. intention), is it usually doesn't feel immediately aged. 

The flip side of things having an unexpected timeliness is when you try to execute something to be timely, but in the interim of writing to execution or just through the flow of time, it just isn't anymore. Somewhat recently, Becca rediscovered "Boyfriend" by Big Time Rush. Obviously, this song is like 13 years old anyway, but boy howdy does the song feel it's age when they call out 2008 Best Picture winner, Slumdog Millionaire. It's not to say you can't or shouldn't put things in the context of the time they're written in, just that being considerate of it is probably to your benefit because specific cultural and contextual touchpoints should feel additive to the work and the intention, not haphazard as a way of showing modernity. (Two quick asides to this: 1. If you don't like "Boyfriend" by BTR musically, you do need to watch the video because it is wild. However, maybe "Boyfriend" by Dove Cameron will be more to your tastes and is incredibly funny if you listen to it as a response to the BTR song. 2. Cultural references aren't the only things that can feel dated or be misused and make your comic worse--see every time AAVE is misused in comics and the creators are immediately dunked on.)

A Timeless Romance... And Leia Organa

Last bit for today, building off what we were just talking about. I recently read Neon Gods by Katee Roberts. It's a smutty retelling of Hades/Persephone set in modern times. (I'm still figuring out some upcoming blogs, but certainly the aforementioned AI and also why SO MANY WORKS are gravitating to Hades/Persephone are on the shortlist). Overall, I liked it. Like many first books in a series, I hear it picks up in later volumes. There's a lot to say about it, but one thing that really stuck out to me was while I understand that it is set in modern day, anytime it made a specific modern reference, it really threw me off. 

Throughout the book, people make calls on their smart phones and have video conferences and there are guns and cars and skyscrapers and other hallmarks of modernity. And it is totally fine. It sets the scene and makes sense for the story being told. But every once in a while--I remember it happening 3 or 4 times--something specific gets called out and it feels weird. One of those times being a reference to the gold bikini Leia wears in Return of the Jedi. It's the sort of touchstone that should feel innocuous. Most folks know it, even if they don't super know Star Wars. But when it happens as like a singular pop culture reference in a work (the other specific callouts I remember feeling odd were a reference to UC Berkley and a brand-name medicine), it weirdly works against the modernity because it feels too concrete in a world of otherwise abstract modern life. It is so solid, so recognizable, that it almost begs the question of why there aren't more references throughout and it vaguely asks questions of the world and of the characters that aren't actually consequential to the plot--or, perhaps, that are consequential to a larger overarching plot that isn't really investigated in depth in the first book. Either way, it was just a little moment that in my reading created a bump that I'm remembering a week and a half later better than some of the actual plot elements or hot smutty scenes, which probably is not the intent of that otherwise kinda throwaway line. 

FRIENDS! 

Okay, shifting away from all that for a moment, I wanna talk about my many cool friends! Who have a new page on my website! Inspired by the webrings of old, I wanted to do a little something to help folks who find their way over to my site find their way over to the sites of other cool folks who are making comics! Right now, you'll notice a lot of family and people who work on Sonic in addition to a few other friends, but always happy to add folks that I've worked with or know and like who might want a bit more web traffic flowing their way. 

While we're on the topic, I know a number of former IDW folks are still looking for work. You'll find links to their LinkedIns there and if you have any opportunities that might be a good fit, please reach out! Also specific shout-out to Yu & Me Books, who could use some help at the moment. 

Patreon!

I'm now on Patreon sharing, wouldja believe, this very blog! As well as some other cool stuff that I've got planned! If you've been enjoying the blog for a while and want a new way to read or support it with a small tip, the Patreon might be for you. I'm also going to be doing Patreon-exclusive blogs that show off stuff like scripts and pitching materials that I can share, WIPs of some of my personal projects, some weird video/audio/streaming content at certain levels, and have a somewhat ambitious group funding goal where subscribers to my top tier mostly help me fund making more short comics by being able to pay cool artists I know! 

Do you not want to read this pitch for my Patreon? Good news: If you subscribe to it, this is cut out from the blog! Ooo aah! 

What I enjoyed this week: Blank Check (Podcast), Craig of the Creek (Cartoon), Dungeons & Daddies (Podcast), Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel Links (Video game), My Adventures with Superman (Cartoon), the beach, Girly Drinks by Mallory O'Meara (Book), the aforementioned Neon Gods (okay, that was last week, but y'know), Stab that Cake (TV show), the only real social media, Clapback, Cruel Summer (TV show), Crime Scene Kitchen (TV show), "Shy Boy" by Carly Rae Jepsen (my queen), the music video for "Water Slide" by Janelle Monae (really loving the aesthetics of their new stuff), Starship Troopers (Movie), thinking about The Love Witch (due for a rewatch). 

New Releases this week (7/5/2023): Sonic the Hedgehog #62 (Editor) Brynmore #1 (Editor) - Actually came out in my last gap week, but go grab it! 

New Releases next week (7/12/2023): Off week for me! Buy something else groovy!

Final Order Cut-Off next week (7/10/2023 - AKA Preorder Deadline) Brynmore #2 (Editor) Godzilla: War for Humanity #1 (Editor)

Announcements:

I'll be at San Diego Comic-Con! My schedule's gotten pretty full, but if you're going to be there, do reach out and let me know. I'll at least try to say hi! IDW announced our panels for the year and I'll see you at Sonic the Hedgehog: Speeding to the 900th Adventure on Sunday at 10, room 25ABC! 

Side note, because con is coming, I may or may not have an update the week of SDCC itself! And Becca's Twitch streams will be off that week, but they'll be streaming throughout the rest of the month. Just anticipate Tuesday streams, rather than Wednesdays, because of some scheduling conflicts. Just through July. 

Oh! And a reminder I am on Bluesky, but don't expect to see me on Threads! That service seems lousy! 

Pic of the Week:

Becca and I at the beach! Beach stuff including some cool shells and part of a crustacean's shell!

OK, my Star Trek and Data fan peeps, I have a book you NEED to read: The Infinity Particle by Wendy Xu. It's a beautiful YA sci-fi graphic novel that just came out a couple months ago, and I am in love.

Set in a future colony on Mars, where advanced AI has become commonplace, it explores a lot of the same themes as "The Measure of a Man": what is humanity, at what point does a being become sentient, and what rights to autonomy and individuality do such beings have? Plus, it's got an adorable sweet romance between the human main character (who has an interesting twist of her own) and the (very cute) android who is struggling with his newfound feelings and sentience.

It's just...so gorgeous and so sweet and hitting me with all the cute android feels. I can't imagine anyone who's a Data fan in particular not loving this book, but I recommend it for any fans of sci fi and YA graphic novels

Seriously, I am going feral over this book.

All-Ages Show RECAP

Thanks to all who came to see us yesterday!

As we said in that show, our next concert will once again be at Royce Hall in Los Angeles on June 20th, and that it will be centered around TMBG songs from the 2000s.

Additionally, our show at First Avenue on July 11th will feature every song from The Spine.

Before we begin, here is a sort of key to explain certain things in the text below…

This means that I sang a song and no one else.

This means that Footi sang a song and no one else.

This means that Chao sang a song and no one else.

This means that I sang a song with Footi on backing vocals.

This means that Footi sang a song with me on backing vocals.

This means that Footi sang a song with Chao on backing vocals.

This means that Chao sang a song with me on backing vocals.

This means that I sang a song with Footi and Chao on backing vocals.

This means that I sang a song with Footi and Ash on backing vocals.

This means that Footi sang a song with me and Chao on backing vocals.

This means that Chao sang a song with me and Footi on backing vocals.

This means that Blip sang a song with me and Footi on backing vocals.

This means that more than 3 Mixels performed vocals for a song. Their names will be listed in the notes.

When “->” is shown right before a song’s name, it means that we went right into that song, with little to no banter.

Alright, here was the show's setlist (with some notes for a few songs):

(began with Wake Up Call over the PA)

1. Alphabet Of Nations

Technically this was Footi on lead, with me on backing, but it could also be vice versa (you could go either way, really).

W/ Ash on keyboard.

We performed the extended version ("GUATEMALAAAAAA").

Any songs with a music video like this one would have the music video played on a huge screen.

2. No!

Before the song started, we mentioned that this concert was in honor of the anniversary of No! (the album) being the following week.

3. Triops Has Three Eyes

4. Four Of Two

For the record, I am never singing the demo lyrics (I'd rather not sing about suicide).

5. E Eats Everything

I shouted the letters as Footi sang the individual letters.

6. Kids Go!

7. Seven

Footi and Ash did the talking parts.

8. Particle Man

W/ Chandelier during the breakdown.

9. Fibber Island

We introduced the song as "the place we go to stop making sense."

10. Older

Just like TMBG, the space between "time... is still marching on" was interrupted by a phone call. In this case, it was Footi pretending to be the ghost of Thomas Edison. He claimed that he was upset we didn't play The Edison Museum for our Half-O-Weens how.

Unlike TMBG, we "made up for it" by playing the song (just Chao on accordion and me on vocals), with me singing in a weird voice (which sounded like my impression of Kaput from Kaput & Zösky).

After the song and call ended, we went right back to Older (the audience erupted with laughter when that happened).

11. C Is For Conifers

W/ Footi on Tiple.

12. Doctor Worm

13. Robot Parade

Performed in G Major (no, not that G Major).

14. Fake-Believe

We played a custom extended version of the song (after the outro, we switched to the verses from Type B).

15. Speed And Velocity

With Blip on lead vocals, and me, Footi and Chao on backing vocals.

16. -> Alphabet Lost And Found

17. Infinity

18. Flying V

19. Where Do They Make Balloons?

20. One Dozen Monkeys

Performed in C Major.

Despite technically being ageless like all Mixels, Chao sang this for the opening part...

I am a girl, 23 years old

That's one more than 22

And one less than 24 (Two dozen)

We were planning to also perform Electric Car, but our touring manager suggested we not do it. He felt concerned with how the talk of electric cars has gone from "Wow, the future of cars!" to "Elon's stupid-looking monstrosity".

21. Nine Bowls Of Soup

All lights were turned off so the viewers could see the screen better.

Performed with just vocals, as the full instrumental was played as a backing track.

22. I Am A Paleontologist

23. 813 Mile Car Trip

24. I Am Not Your Broom

25. Stalk of Wheat

26. What Is A Shooting Star?

27. D & W

I dedicated this song to me and Wesley (my twin brother).

For the ending part, Footi voiced W, and I voiced D.

28. Z Y X

We extended the song to have Footi re-introduce the band (which he had done earlier in the show), replaying the opening instrumental.

This was followed by me singing the lyrics all over again (with the ending part this time).

29. -> Goodnight My Friends

Turns out, the song sounds pretty good when the singer isn't doing a weird voice.

(Encore #1)

30. I Can Add

The only reason we played this song was so we could dedicate it to a celebrity creature known as the "16-Monster", who appears in the music video. He got his name from the fact that he has a giant "16" on his stomach.

31. Fingertips:

Everything Is Catching On Fire

Fingertips (#1)

I Hear The Wind Blow

Hey Now Everybody

Who Is That Standing Out The Window

I Found A New Friend Underneath My Pillow

Come On And Wreck My Car

Aren’t You The Guy Who Hit Me In The Eye?

Please Pass The Milk

Leave Me Alone

Who’s Knocking On The Wall?

All Alone, All By Myself

What’s That Blue Thing Doing Here?

Something Grabbed Ahold Of My Hand

I Don’t Understand You

I Heard A Sound

Mysterious Whisper (we asked the crowd to sway their arms around during this part)

The Day That Love Came To Play

I’m Having A Heart Attack

Fingertips (#2)

I Walk Along Darkened Corridors

(Encore #2)

32. Can You Find It?

Since our only reference was a shortened version of the song, our performance of the song was also shorter.

Because of this, after "...which isn't fair" we immediately switched to "there are letters everywhere..."

For lyrics, I replaced "sorry to say" with "sorry to share" to rhyme it with "everywhere" and "fair".

Because of the shortened performance, I replaced "The aforementioned W" with "Could there be a W?"

33. Why Does The Sun Shine?

For the "nuclear reaction..." part, Footi listed "solar energy, a metal called tungsten, a bunch of glass surrounding the tungsten, and okay, I'm just talking about our own sun, which is a lightbulb!"

34. -> Why Does The Sun Really Shine?

35. Clap Your Hands

(Aw, schmixel) Clap your hands -> stomp your feet -> jump in the air -> EVERYBODY SCREAM! -> EVERYBODY SCREAM AGAIN! -> EVERYBODY, STOP SCREAMING!

36. Birdhouse In Your Soul

Played in its original key.

Also played at a tempo similar to the Tonight Show performance from 1990 (except without the horn section).

“they” being a male (assigned) ai bot living on mars gaining sentience as he falls in love with a human female clone from earth

[ash-and-books]

Rating: 5/5

Book Blurb: In this gorgeous graphic novel by Wendy Xu, co-creator of the award-winning Mooncakes, a young inventor falls for a lifelike AI and confronts questions of freedom and autonomy.

Clementine Chang moves from Earth to Mars for a new start and is lucky enough to land her dream job with Dr. Marcella Lin, an Artificial Intelligence pioneer. On her first day of work, Clem meets Dr. Lin’s assistant, a humanoid AI named Kye. Clem is no stranger to robots—she built herself a cute moth-shaped companion named SENA. Still, there’s something about Kye that feels almost too human.

When Clem and Kye begin to collaborate, their chemistry sets off sparks. The only downside? Dr. Lin is enraged by Kye’s growing independence and won’t allow him more freedom. Plus, their relationship throws into question everything Clem thought she knew about AI. After all, if Kye is sentient enough to have feelings, shouldn’t he be able to control his own actions? Where is the line between AI and human?

As her past and Kye’s future weigh down on her, Clem becomes determined to help him break free—even if it means risking everything she came to Mars for.

Review:

When a young inventor falls for a lifelike AI, she also begins to confront questions of freedom and autonomy as she realizes that her dream job is not all that it was meant to be. Clementine Cheng has moved from Earth to Mars to find a new start with her dream job under Dr. Marcella Lin, an Artificial Intelligence pioneer. On her first day at works she meets Kye, Dr. Lin's humanoid AI assistant. Clem knows robots, she's built her own companion named SENA... yet something about Kye feels too human. The more time Kye and Clem spend together the more sparks begin to fly for them, yet it also becomes clear that Dr. Lin is getting angrier and angrier with Kye's growing independence. Clem just wants to help Kye but that means facing off against Dr. Lin and trying to look into the mystery about what she really knows about AI and if Kye is sentient enough to have feelings shouldn't he be allowed to be in control of his own actions? This was such a beautiful and and heartwarming read. I loved the artwork and the overall tone of the story was really interesting and I just had an absolute blast! I would definitely recommend this book!

*Thanks Netgalley and HarperCollins Children's Books, Quill Tree Books for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review*

week #39 recommendation: rose

The Infinity Particle by Wendy Xu

▪︎ sci-fi/romance graphic novel ▪︎

everyone has something they want to get away from. and everyone has a different way of doing it.

clementine "clem" chang, for example, moved from earth to mars so that she could have a fresh start—and get away from her biggest fear. the only part of her past life she's bringing with her is the adorable moth-shaped ai companion she built for herself, sena. see, ai isn't such a new idea in clem's world; on mars, she's working with her idol, dr. marcella lin, an ai engineer. and dr. lin's biggest accomplishment—or what she considers to be so, at least? building her extraordinarily human-like ai assistant, kye. kye can do almost everything (although not exactly perfectly), and he's constantly learning and growing... just like a human being. in fact, it turns out he's even capable of falling in love. with clem. what a perfect disaster for dr. lin, right? now, she's got to keep kye closer than ever if she doesn't want to lose him... but kye has clem, and other mysterious allies, on his side. so maybe, just maybe, kye can break free of his creator and spend time with the person he loves.

▪︎

i was pretty skeptical when i started this book. humanoid ai falling in love with human girl on mars? ehhh, difficult to pull off in the right way. but xu focuses on all the right things to make this story sweet rather than creepy (or at least make the sweetness outweigh the creepiness). both clem and kye are constantly trying to figure out exactly what it means to be human, and whether that definition should include robots as complex and emotional as kye. they're both dealing with their own problems, have their own traumatized pasts to contend with... and yet still make time for each other. and speaking of time—it almost feels irrelevant when you're reading their scenes together. it doesn't matter whether they've spent an hour, or a day, or a week together, just that they've spent it with each other. and again, there's that underlying question of what it means to be human throughout the whole thing that adds a whole new layer to the story. and damn, is it a complicated one.

Standard mathematical analysis reveals that this five-dimensional spacetime has a boundary⁷ that, like all boundaries, has one dimension less than the shape it bounds: three space dimensions and one time dimension.

7. For the mathematically inclined reader, the statement here is that a beam of light, or massless particles more generally, can travel from any point in the interior of anti-deSitter space to spatial infinity and back, in finite time.

[magpiesbones]

The Infinity Particle is VERY good actually

cute little robot rom com that is honestly. Really sweet.

ALSO. very fun and interesting way to subvert the ‘robot falls in love and becomes human’ trope bc like. Kye is still a robot!! The being a robot part isnt a metaphor for being unfeeling it’s a metaphor for being a child which is VERY fun and interesting actually. Everyone is also on board with the ‘robots become people sometimes’ thing from the beginning which is also pretty refreshing. Everyone agrees that this robot has personhood EXCEPT the abusive parent-figure. This is one of the defining ways that she’s presented as a shitty person actually! The robot has personhood outside of falling in love and the falling in love is actually mostly not related to the personhood except for how he likes that she does in fact respect the personhood (objectively attractive trait to have).

sweet book!! Cute art!! Delightful robots!!

Ok I was today years old when I realized that the shrinking disks Scott used in first movie and Civil War would’ve saved a lot of fucking lives. It’d be a lot easier to squish Thanos if he was the size of an ant.

[tough-girl9]

Cute android is cute

No one has created any fan art or fanfiction (that I can find online) for this adorable book, so I guess I have to take matters into my own hands.
