Finally read IF DESTRUCTION BE OUR LOT #1 by @ashcanpress.com @andymacdonald.bsky.social & I hunger for more! Who knew a gorgeous comic with Disneyland robot Lincoln as a protagonist would be full of danger, introspection, hope? Also, Matt, can i write a short prequel about brunch robot?!

Go get yours.

It was a BIG month on Off Panel, so if you missed this month's slate on the podcast, I put together a rundown of each episode in this thread!

It was a great May on Off Panel, so I wanted to recap the latest episodes for those who may have missed it. Up first was @ashcanpress.com, who joined the podcast to talk If Destruction Be Our Lot..., collaboration, the art of promotion, his public advocacy for comics, and more.

So great to see @andymacdonald.bsky.social & @ashcanpress.com and get them to sign the first issue of their new series, IF DESTRUCTION BE OUR LOT🦾 Got both variant covers and even picked up some fake money in the process. This is a great new series, go pick up the first issue for yourself!

Read a preview of FML #8 from Dark Horse Comics, written by Kelly Sue DeConnick with art by David López.

I loved working on issue 2 cover, the red neons are huge fun! (and you’ll see that sequence inside as well :D )

Another beautiful variant cover, this time a Martin Morazzo cover for the first issue of If Destruction Be Our Lot. I’m an Ice Cream Man fan, so had to pick this up.

I want to excitedly & tenderly shake @ashcanpress.com by the shoulders & high five him for If Destruction Be Our Lot #1. It's my new favorite comic of 2026. Beautifully nostalgic, hopeful, engrossing & full of humanity. Everyone go to your LCS and get yourself a copy. You absolutely won't regret it!

#comics2026 99 If Destruction Be Our Lot… 1 from @imagecomics.com This was a very strong first issue @ashcanpress.com

Check out the gorgeous covers for IF DESTRUCTION BE OUR LOT... #2 from @andymacdonald.bsky.social & @francescosegala.bsky.social / @cliffchiang.bsky.social / Chip Zdarsky / @tulalotay.bsky.social FOC is this weekend so if you want a copy, which you do, let your local comic shop know now.

Every comic by @ashcanpress.com is a must-read IMO and IF DESTRUCTION BE OUR LOT is no exception. Matt continues to excel at exploring an intriguing premise with great humor and wit. Top notch art & storytelling by #AndyMacDonald @francescosegala.bsky.social & #HassanOtsmane-Elhaou Get it tomorrow!

Well @ashcanpress.com & co are really onto something with If Destruction Be Our Lot. I'm excited to see where this will go, but know some Saga level heartbreak is to come along with it all. This is one of those "I didn't know comic books could be like this" series. Pick it up, put in your preorder.

Per usual, I'm late to the party, but I wanted to commend to your attention @ashcanpress.com's latest masterwork, IF DESTRUCTION BE OUR LOT -- a brilliant (and funny) look into the inevitable future where humankind has been replaced by robots... or has it? Starring a robotic Abraham Lincoln!

It seems foolish to recommend a comic after only one issue, but I can’t remember when I have enjoyed an opening issue as much as the first issue of If Destruction Be Our Lot…

If Destruction Be Our Lot... #1: The aftermath of the robo-pocalypse from the POV of animatronic Abe Lincoln. Charming, beautifully designed, immediately arresting. Matthew & Mark Rosenberg and Andy MacDonald have struck gold here.

I haven't read the first issue yet, but Matt's previous Image book, We're Taking Everyone Down With Us, knocked me out and I have no doubt this one will too. Get on board from the start.

Look what finally arrived, @ashcanpress.com. Wonderful stuff.

We’re Taking Everyone Down With Us was my favorite comic of 2025. I’ve read If Destruction Be Our Lot #1 and it’s shaping up to be my favorite book of ‘26. Buy yourself a copy or two in shops today. @ashcanpress.com will humbly say he’s an adequate writer, but he’s among the very best to do it.

I've been picking up and reading a lot of @ashcanpress.com's work lately and I'm super excited to read this soon! If it's anything like everything else him and his collaborators have done then it will be great!

Putting @sweetshop.app through its paces by catching up on some # 1s Capes. It’s nice to go back to 2003. If Destruction be Our Lot. Could be best of 2026 material. Death Fight Forever. Somebody loves 80s toylines. We’re Taking Everyone Down With Us. I should have been reading this the whole time.
