First off, thank you all for giving me the chance to step away for a week (or two). It ended up being exactly what I needed.
I spent the time getting ahead on a couple of projects, rethinking my workflow, and figuring out what I really want this channel to be. I wanted to make sure I was creating content in a way that's sustainable—not just for a few months, but for years.
So, I think I've finally found the direction.
📅 THIS DAY IN SUPERHISTORY returns MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14TH, with new episodes every weekday.
📖 STORYLINE NARRATIVES return THIS FRIDAY, and from then on, you can expect a new NARRATIVE every 2-3 weeks.
Those are going to be the heart of the channel moving forward.
I also wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who's watched GAIJIN. Seeing it pass 11K views has been incredible, and I'm genuinely grateful.
Thank you all again for your patience, encouragement, and support. I'm really excited to get back to talking about superheroes with you.
Hey everyone! I wanted to give you a quick update on where I've been.
The past few weeks have been a little overwhelming. My family recently suffered a loss, and while I was working through that, I also somehow lost my entire THIS DAY IN SUPERHISTORY Premiere project after a file corruption issue. Months of work... just gone. It was definitely one of those moments that completely took the wind out of my sails.
More than anything, though, it made me realize I'd been putting way too much pressure on myself. Somewhere along the way, I convinced myself I needed to turn this channel into a content machine—multiple series, constant uploads, and a pace that just isn't realistic for one person, especially with a new job starting in September.
So I'm going to take about a week to reset, regroup, and figure out what this channel looks like moving forward.
I don't want to stop making videos—I honestly couldn't if I tried. I love talking about superheroes, analyzing stories, and sharing that passion with all of you. I just want to build this channel in a way that's sustainable and lets me make the best work I can.
When I come back, my plan is to refocus on the kinds of videos that made me fall in love with creating in the first place—especially the STORYLINE NARRATIVES. (Yes, MARVEL ZOMBIES is still coming!)
Thank you for every comment, every subscription, every like, and every conversation we've had. This community has grown far beyond anything I expected, and I genuinely appreciate every single one of you.
If I can be genuine for a moment, my family recently suffered a loss, and it's made it difficult to focus on creating videos. Because of that, I've fallen a little behind on the next Storyline Narrative.
Rather than rush it, I've decided to delay the release until SUNDAY, AUGUST 30th so I can finish it the way I envisioned. I really appreciate your patience and all the support you've shown this channel.
The good news is that I'm getting back into the swing of things. Alongside the next Narrative, I'm also developing another series that leans more into the film and television side of things, and I'm excited to share more about that soon.
As a small thank-you for sticking with me, here's a first look at the thumbnail and synopsis for the next Narrative... and as always, thank you for watching:
"The apocalypse is over. The survivors are dead.
And the only thing left wandering the Earth... are superheroes who still remember what it meant to be heroes.
From Robert Kirkman's unforgettable horror classic, MARVEL ZOMBIES, comes a story where guilt survives, hope doesn't, and hunger is only the beginning.
I got back on Saturday and have been getting back in the rhythm of things. Should be all caught up on THIS DAY IN SUPERHISTORY shorts today and returning to the regular schedule tomorrow.
Also, look out for the first Character Candid this upcoming Tuesday, 8/11. More info on that and the rest of the releases coming for August soon!
Once again, I just wanted to thank you all for watching and making this channel something I LOVE coming back to, innovating, and creating for.
Sorry for the wonky schedule for THIS DAY IN SUPERHISTORY this week. Couple other obligations came up that I had to prioritize, so I'll be releasing the days I missed throughout the day today. It'll be made clear what day each was meant to come out.

The infection didn't destroy their humanity.
It simply taught it to wait..."

TOMORROW.
One of the greatest superheroes ever created.
But here's the question I've been thinking about...
**What actually makes Peter Parker... Peter Parker?**
Is it the spider bite?
The costume?
The wisecracks?
Or is it something much deeper?
Tomorrow's CHARACTER CANDID dives into the core of what defines Spider-Man and why that has resonated with readers for more than 60 years.
What do YOU think is the single most important thing that makes Spider-Man... Spider-Man?
🕸️ See you tomorrow.

Hey everyone!
Spent most of the week preparing for & completing some interviews (for some IRL/day jobs). About to head out of town for the weekend, as well.
So, I won't be able to get today or tomorrow's THIS DAY IN SUPERHISTORY shorts out! I know, I'm sorry about that.
Just means you'll have a lot of super history to wade through Monday! :) I'll release the 30th, the 31st & August 3rd all on Monday.
Thanks for understanding and for watching. Appreciate you all!
