šŸŗ Artifacts from the Hunt

šŸ‘¹ Not all demons bite—some hold your coffee. ā˜•

We’re getting closer to launch, and I wanted to share a peek at two of my favorite Hunters of Sheydim Kickstarter rewards—the Chemosh plushie and the official Golem Mug.

These pieces aren’t just merch—they’re little artifacts from the world we’ve built. Every item ties back to the mythology, demons, and mystery that run through the series. It’s a fun way to bring the story to life—on and off the page.

Hunters of Sheydim – Production Update!

This week at Golem Press, we’re deep in the next stage of bringing Hunters of Sheydim to life.
Our amazing colorist Vinicius Townsend just delivered brand-new pages for Issue 3—his colors add depth, emotion, and atmosphere that make every panel come alive. Meanwhile, Sinisa Matic has wrapped the latest draft of lettering for Issue 2, and seeing the dialogue take shape on the finished art is a huge milestone for us.

Every new round brings us closer to holding this book in our hands. Watching it evolve from sketches to completed pages has been incredible—this team continues to exceed every expectation.

āš”ļø Our world of demons, mysticism, and myth is almost ready to share.
We can’t wait to show you more as we head toward our Kickstarter launch on November 3rd!

šŸ’„ The Rise and Fall (Again) of Marvel’s Ultimate Universe šŸ’„

So it’s official: Marvel’s Ultimate Universe—relaunched just last year under Jonathan Hickman—is ending in 2026 with Ultimate Endgame.

I’ve got to be honest… I kind of saw this coming.

Back in the early 2000s, the original Ultimate line was electric. It gave us Ultimate Spider-Man, The Ultimates, and a bold reimagining of the Marvel mythos that brought in a new generation of readers. For a while, it felt like Marvel was taking real creative risks again.

This new relaunch seemed poised to capture that same spark—sales were up, fan response was solid—but deep down, I think many of us knew it might not last. And now it’s official.

What’s surprising is why it’s ending. Hickman revealed that this wasn’t his choice—it was Marvel’s leadership who decided to make the line a ā€œcontained experiment.ā€ Which feels odd when you consider DC’s Absolute Universe is thriving, proving there’s still a big appetite for these alternate, prestige worlds.

Marvel’s been struggling lately, both on the page and on the screen, so why reopen an old wound only to close it again? Fans are frustrated, and understandably so. This isn’t just about one imprint ending—it’s about trust.

Because when the Ultimate line first debuted, it wasn’t just a publishing stunt. It was a creative revolution—a place for bold storytelling and fresh myth-building. That kind of energy is exactly what comics need right now.

šŸ‘‰ What do you think? Did Marvel make the right call ending the Ultimate Universe, or should they have let it evolve into something bigger?

šŸ”„ The Hunters of Sheydim Motion Comic Trailer Has Arrived! šŸ”„

Myth. Memory. Fire.
All brought to life by the incredible team at Golem Press.

We’re thrilled to share our motion comic trailer for Hunters of Sheydim—a story born from Jewish mysticism, folklore, and history. It’s about remembering where we come from, and how the past continues to shape the battles we face today.

Each frame carries the weight of centuries of storytelling—angels, demons, and the fragile line between protection and destruction.

šŸ”„ Wonder Man — First Impressions from NYCC šŸŽ­

Over the weekend at New York Comic Con, Marvel debuted the first teaser for Wonder Man—set to premiere on Disney+ in January 2026—and I have thoughts.

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II steps into the role of Simon Williams, an out-of-work actor whose life is about to take a very different turn. Ben Kingsley returns as Trevor Slattery, the fake Mandarin from Iron Man 3, tying this strange, meta story back to the broader MCU in the most unexpected way.

The teaser doesn’t feel like a typical Marvel show—and honestly, that might be its strength. It’s self-aware, introspective, maybe even satirical. On one hand, I love that it’s trying something new; on the other, I’m cautious. Marvel’s been searching for a new identity lately, and this could either be the bold shake-up it needs—or another tonal experiment that doesn’t quite land.

In the comics, Wonder Man (aka Simon Williams) has always straddled two worlds—businessman, villain, hero, Avenger, and yes, a Hollywood actor. That duality is what makes him fascinating. If the show leans into that tension between ego, purpose, and redemption, it could be one of Marvel’s most interesting projects in years.

Either way, I’m intrigued. It’s refreshing to see Marvel finally step outside its formula—questioning fame, heroism, and burnout all at once. Let’s hope it sticks the landing.

šŸ‘‰ Did you catch the Wonder Man teaser? Are you excited for something meta and weird, or do you miss the classic Marvel energy?

šŸš€ Star Trek: Starfleet Academy — First Look Thoughts from a Lifelong Trek Fan 🌌

Over the weekend at New York Comic Con, Paramount dropped the first trailer for Star Trek: Starfleet Academy—set to launch in early 2026—and as someone who’s been a Trek fan for decades, I had to see it for myself.

On the surface, there’s a lot to like. Holly Hunter as Chancellor Nahla Ake feels pitch-perfect—commanding, warm, and believable as a mentor within the Federation. And then there’s Paul Giamatti, playing what looks like an alien villain with that blend of intelligence and eccentric menace only he can bring. It’s an intriguing mix.

That said, I’d be lying if I didn’t admit I have mixed feelings. The trailer leans heavily into the ā€œCW romance meets Starfleetā€ aesthetic—lots of wide-eyed cadets, angsty glances, and interpersonal tension. While I get that they’re aiming to bring in younger audiences, what’s always drawn me to Star Trek isn’t the melodrama—it’s the mission. The idea that humanity could become something better through exploration, understanding, and cooperation.

When I think about Trek at its best—from the original series to The Next Generation, Denny O’Neil’s moral storytelling, and even the grandeur of Deep Space Nine—it’s about the unknown. About gas giants, collapsing stars, alien diplomacy, moral paradoxes, and the constant striving toward peace and progress.

So while part of this new series feels designed to echo the energy of Grey’s Anatomy in space, I’m hoping it still carries that deeper thread of hope and discovery. Because hope has always been the heart of Star Trek. And I did see a glimmer of that in the trailer—moments that suggest the spirit of adventure and idealism is still there beneath the shiny cadet drama.

Maybe I’m dating myself, but I miss when Trek was about reaching for the stars, not running from them. Still, I’ll give this one a shot. With this cast and that legacy, I’m cautiously optimistic.

šŸ–– What did you think of the Starfleet Academy trailer? Does it feel like the future of Star Trek—or is it trying to be something else?

Tron: Ares – Thoughts After Seeing It in IMAX 3D

Last night I saw Tron: Ares at the Planet Rishon LeTziyon in IMAX 3D — and it was an experience. They even had a fun ICEE promo tie-in, which felt perfectly nostalgic. I hadn’t had an ICEE since I was a kid, but if I’m diving into ā€˜80s vibes, I might as well go all in with one of the era’s most iconic treats.

I’ll admit, I went in with some trepidation. I’m a huge Tron fan — both the 1982 original and Legacy — and it’s been frustrating to wait this long for a follow-up that never fully paid off Legacy’s ending. Ares starts out familiar, focusing again on Flynn’s vision of merging humanity and the digital world, through medical innovation. But there’s no mention of the ISOs and barely a whisper about Sam Flynn or Quorra— a major letdown considering how central they were to Legacy.

Instead, we’re introduced to a new cast: Eve Kim (Greta Lee), the new Encom CEO and admirer of Kevin Flynn’s legacy; and Julian Dillinger (Evan Peters), the grandson of the original villain, alongside his mother (Gillian Anderson). The visual effects are stunning — truly next level — and the 3D integration is flawless. I actually liked several of the new characters, especially Eve Kim and Jared Leto’s Ares (surprisingly strong performance from him, you can tell he genuinely loves the material).

But here’s where Ares stumbles: it sidelines Legacy’s characters (Sam and Quorra) to retell nearly the same story — an AI gone rogue, ā€œfollowing its programming,ā€ just like Clu did. It’s frustratingly repetitive. The new Dillinger is all arrogance and ego, but the script by Jesse Wigutow and David DiGilio leans more toward a reboot than a true continuation. The film is packed with Easter eggs to the original Tron, yet it lacks connective tissue to Legacy, making the whole thing feel strangely hollow.

Director Joachim RĆønning even gave flimsy excuses for the absence of Hedlund and Wilde (ā€œscheduling conflictsā€), which feels weak. The story of ā€œbringing the digital world into oursā€ could’ve worked beautifully if they’d simply built upon where Legacy left off — with Sam and Quorra in the real world. That emotional through-line is what made Legacy special, and it’s what’s missing here.

One subplot that didn’t land for me was Eve Kim’s motivation tied to her late sister’s research. It’s hard to buy that her sister’s discovery drove the plot when the film repeatedly reminds us it was Kevin Flynn’s concept all along. It would’ve been far stronger if her sister had originated the ā€œPermanenceā€ theory herself and connected it to the ISOs.

That said, seeing Jeff Bridges again (even if it was supposed to be an AI version) was a treat — though it added another layer of confusion to the plot’s logic. Still, the action sequences deliver, the design is gorgeous, and the film clearly respects the visual legacy of the franchise.

In the end, Tron: Ares is a stunning but uneven experience — a film that dazzles on the surface but never fully taps into the heart and continuity that made Legacy resonate. There’s potential here, and I genuinely hope it earns a sequel. Just… please don’t wait another fifteen years. And next time, bring Sam and Quorra home to the Grid where they belong. āš”ļø

šŸŽØ Hunters of Sheydim – New Colors from Issue 2!

Big week at Golem Press as we share a first look at some newly finished pages from Hunters of Sheydim! Our incredible colorist Vinicius Townsend continues to bring this world to life with rich tones, haunting light, and cinematic atmosphere.

Every time Vinicius adds color to Riley Brown’s dynamic pencils, the story deepens. The world of Hunters of Sheydim feels more tangible—ancient and modern all at once—adding layers to the mythos and legend we’re building.

We’re now deep into production and moving toward post-work, and it’s amazing to see all the pieces coming together. This book has truly been a labor of love for the entire team.

🌿 Finding Shelter in the Storm – A Sukkot Reflection 🌿

Sukkot has always been one of my favorite holidays—not just because of the tradition of building the Sukkah, but because it gives us a reason to slow down, eat outside, and share time with family and friends.

When we lived in New Jersey, it was often rainy, cold, and a little miserable—but we made it bright with string lights and decorations, finding joy in the chaos. Here in Israel (and before that, in Los Angeles), the weather is warmer, but the wind… oh, the wind never lets up. No matter how many times it knocks the Sukkah down, we just put it back up again.

That resilience—the act of rebuilding and adapting even when things fall apart—is something I think about constantly while working on Hunters of Sheydim. At its core, our story is about faith, family, and perseverance. About finding shelter not just in wood or canvas, but in courage, connection, and belief.

Wherever you build your shelter this week—whether it’s against wind, rain, or demons—I wish you joy, warmth, and strength.
