After careful consideration, I have decided to cancel four long-developed projects: Ted’s Life, Jack and Butch, Cowboys vs. Zombies, and Talking Eagles. Some of these projects were announced years ago. Others, like Talking Eagles, had not yet been formally revealed to the public. Each of them had a different history, a different development path, and a different reason for existing, but they all came from a very real creative place. These were not small ideas to me. Some of them go back many years, with early planning stretching as far back as the late 2010s. They were part of an earlier creative era, before some of the current structure around my work existed, and before Carson Kelly Publishing became what it is today. But over time, it became clear that these projects were not coming together in the way I had hoped. The truth is simple: I am not confident releasing them to the world in their current form. Whether creatively, structurally, financially, or personally, they no longer fe...

Spoiler Warning: This review discusses the full second season of Daredevil: Born Again . After watching all eight episodes of Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, I can honestly say this was one of the strongest Marvel Television seasons in a long time. This season had emotion. It had brutality. It had romance. It had grief. It had shocking moments. It had great performances. It had some incredible character work. It had moments when I was fully locked in, moments when I was frustrated, moments when I was nervous, and moments when I remembered why I love this world so much in the first place. Season 2 premiered on March 24, 2026, and ran for eight episodes through May 5, 2026, with Disney+ listing the full season as part of the larger story of Fisk hunting Daredevil while Matt Murdock fights to tear down his corrupt empire. That setup is simple on paper, but the season finds a lot of power inside it. This is not just a season about a masked hero fighting a villain. This is a season abo...

Spoiler Warning: This review discusses the Season 2 finale of Daredevil: Born Again .         Welcome to my review of Marvel Television's Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 Finale. After weeks of chaos, emotion, blood, corruption, grief, and street-level war, Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 reached its finale with Episode 8, “The Southern Cross.” Disney+ lists the finale as Season 2, Episode 8, describing it as “the city and its heroes enter an unprecedented era,” which is a strong way to describe where this finale leaves us. This was not just an ending. It felt like a door opening. This finale is more than an ending. It signals a new era, making Marvel fans feel excited about the future of street-level heroes. The finale works because it understands the weight of what this season has built toward. Season 2 is about power, fear, and what happens when Wilson Fisk controls not just the criminal world but the city itself. Disney+ frames the season around Mayor Fisk crushing...

  With only one episode left in Daredevil: Born Again, Season 2, Episode 7 had a clear job to do. It needed to raise the stakes, sharpen the tension, and leave viewers feeling like the finale could truly bring everything crashing down. On that level, I think this episode absolutely succeeds. It is a strong penultimate chapter; it keeps the pressure on, and it does a very solid job of making next week feel important. The finale is officially scheduled for May 5, 2026 , so this really was the last major setup hour before the end. At the same time, I came away from this episode with a real sense of disappointment. I want to keep this spoiler-light because I do not want someone casually finding this review and getting hit with a huge reveal before they watch the episode. So I will just say this: there is one character direction in this episode that I understand on a story mechanics level, but I still do not think it was the most interesting path the show could have taken. For me, the ...

Today, I am sharing an important update regarding my planned release, EYES EP REMASTERED . After careful consideration, I have made the difficult decision to cancel the planned release of EYES EP REMASTERED , including Blue Eyes Remastered , Green Eyes Remastered , and Orange Eyes Remastered . This project was created around the goal of releasing these remastered songs on vinyl. Since the vinyl edition is no longer moving forward, I have decided not to release the remastered EP at this time. This is disappointing, especially after the time, planning, and excitement that went into preparing this rollout. However, I still believe in the future of physical music. I am already thinking long-term about creating my own vinyl distribution path in the future. Thank you to everyone who supported the rollout and showed excitement for this release. Your support means a lot, and I truly appreciate everyone who was looking forward to the project. The project is canceled, but the music journey ...

By the end of Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 Episode 6, the feeling I was left with more than anything was dread. Not because I disliked the episode. Quite the opposite. I liked this episode a lot. I thought it had strong momentum, some great character moments, a really exciting energy, and a sense that the story is tightening around everyone in a way that could become devastating very quickly. What makes this episode stand out for me is not that it feels like the biggest episode of the season, but that it feels like one of the last deep breaths before the fall. Season 2 is officially eight episodes long, and with Episode 6 now done, there are only two chapters left before the finale. That is what made this hour so effective. It feels like something is brewing under nearly every scene. There is tension hanging over the episode that goes beyond the immediate plot. It feels as if several characters are standing right at the edge of something terrible, and the show knows it. There is ...
