That’s unfortunate. I loved Hip-Hop Family Tree.

Yeah, I'll say.
Hadn't heard from my old boss in a bunch of months until he sent me the few-days old accusation story yesterday then he sent me this one just now.
A lot of mixed thoughts and feelings.

Really damning final words in his Facebook post. Worth a read for those that might not even know who he was (like me). The humanity of it all is too heavy.

you can tell he knows how bad this is gonna hurt his family but he still couldn’t see another way out.

I will say I used to follow Pisker on Twitter (before Elon) and he seemed friendly but also extremely online. Seemingly his whole world was essentially social media and comic books and he was likely gonna lose both, I could how he’d feel hopeless. it’s a sad situation.

He and I were "friends" back when I was still on the book of face. We had one brief messaging chat when I congratulated him on the announcement of X-Men: Grand Design and he commented on a small handful of my posts along the way and he was always super friendly and chill. Given we were both nerdy in our love of hip hop and comic books, I imagined he and I would get along quite well if we ever met in person. Now we'll never know.

Given how messed up I've been feeling about all this as just a fan who happened to have a slight bit of online rapport with him, I can't even imagine how his family is feeling.

Whatever did or didn't happen as far as allegations go, this is very much a nobody wins scenario.

I saw this and am probably going to pick up the first compendium for $75. I don’t think I need all four but i love the art and the first 50 issues in a nice hardbound book would be a fun collection to thumb through.

That's pretty sweet. I'm not the hugest fan of Omnibus editions though – I find them clunky and awkward to read. I have the Silver Age and Bronze Age Doom Patrol ones that I picked up years ago but I dunno that I would get myself any more at this point. I think the 'Epic Collection' sized TPBs are where I'm at for larger collections.

I am with you in a sense. They are not ideal from reading front to back but they often present the artwork in the best possible way especially nice oversized prints on premium paper stock. I can read the comics digitally if I really get pulled in to a story arc but for me the big boys are the type of thing I pull off the shelf, read an issue or two and then put it back on the shelf again, best enjoyed in small portions.

A friend of mine was the writer on the continued series in the early 00's and is now the narrative lead on the upcoming GI Joe Snake Eyes video game. They're committed to pulling in elements from across the entire franchise, and I know how much he loves the original Hama run.

I absolutely loved the GI Joe video Game for NES back in the day.
