Welcome to the snarky informative side of writer Mark Wooden!
During the pandemic, I wrote for Comic Book Resources—covering animation, comics, and pop culture with sharp takes and deep dives.

That coverage kicks off this portfolio: a glimpse into my love for all things geeky, weird, and wildly passionate.

But this is just the surface.
The really good stuff is in my fiction—urban fantasy tales full of monsters, myths, assassins, and the occasional moral crisis.
If you like what you read here, I’ve got even darker corners waiting.
And if you like comic book hero mashups the corporate overlords won’t let you see, I have fanfiction for that!
