listen, Resident Evil 7: biohazard was styled with a roman numeral VII in eVIL. Resident Evil 8: Village was styled with a roman numeral VIII in VILLage. Resident Evil 9: requiem breaks the pattern but continues the tradition. if they capitalized the Q, they'd have kyu, Japanese for 9. good gag.

I was thinking about it & I think another reason why all-star misogynist Dave Sim being up for the Eisner Hall of Fame in 2026 is that the industry he influenced has changed a lot since the '80s. Are we at a point where his (non-comics) contributions are harder to point to as history worth lauding?

🚨 NEW on Shelfdust! 🚨 Don’t Take G.I. Joe For Granted, by @tomshaps.bsky.social: shelfdust.com/2026/02/25/d...

I thought Max Landis was a guy Grant Morrison made up this whole time

Hi, I’m opening a batch of commissions! I paint mainly FFXIV-related work in a classical oil painting style, but I'm open to other subjects and genres. Contact me for pricing if you’re interested, either through DMs or the email link in my bio. Reskeets appreciated!

started my Friday watching the Gorillaz short and behind-the-scenes with a friend. love this group. Every album is sorta like, "I wonder what wave they're on this time?" for me, rather than hoping for specific stuff like I might for other artists I dig. Jamie Hewlett can really draw.

new Gorillaz album and new Health EP today, in a big win for people who are always walking around thinking about death gorillaz.bandcamp.com/album/the-mo... youwillloveeachother.bandcamp.com/album/r-type-i

Happy 4th, Elden Ring.

I played Elden Ring when it came out, then fell off when I was 3/4 done like every game. I've been wanting to play the last few bosses and the DLC, so last year, I started playing an hour or so a week, doing side quests, finding items, etc. It's been great getting back to it. Architecture is amazing

everything else aside, "it's just one battle after another over here" is a great addition to the "I'm keeping on keeping on"/"I'm too blessed to be stressed" genre of chitchat.

Unfortunately, I am getting evicted this weekend. Eviction for holdover they said. They're refusing to renew my lease so I will probably end up in a long stay hotel until I can figure out who will rent to me again. I held out hope, maybe for too long. gofund.me/df7d3e031

there's basically two kinds of Elden Ring new player streams on Twitch: -I'm doing this because my chat demands it, maybe it's fun -I'm doing this because it sounds fun There's an equal amount of hollering and cussing in each lane, but the latter is a lot more fun to watch. despair<->triumph vibes

this is really cool to see. independent manga publishers are a must for a healthy industry, but also so that I have interesting books to read I wouldn't have found myself

Go back this now, there is nothing more important than new I G O R

Anno: Ishiguro once asked me if I was over 30. I said I was already 32, and he said “you’ve got three more years. You’ll do the best work of your life at 35.” That’s about how old he was when he made Yamato, so it’s true. www.ourstarblazers.com/vault/252/

I wish this had more context. It's not as simple as the headline is saying because he quotes another animator for the 30 y/o thing and then says: -fly high before your 30s because it's downhill after that -two greats made their best work in their 30s, so study all sorts of things Not quite the same?

I believe in freedom of religion and all that or whatever, but if you don't believe in hell, where are backseat gamers supposed to go when they die?

FINALLY, we're gonna get an Alyosha Kraven movie, instead of this weird guy who doesn't even have any animal friends

Digital versions of my most recent comic Ants: Things Fall Apart are now only $5! On sale on my Patreon, itch.io, Gumroad, & now Global Comix - tr.ee/EBR8wczq80 #comics

my friend Pat is really stoked for the new Resident Evil this week, and decided to go into streaming the game with no spoilers past the first trailer, I think. He's gonna do it on Friday evenings, Chicago time. I'm not an RE guy but I really enjoy his RE streams. Tune in: www.twitch.tv/patprime2x

"Hey, what do you draw with?" Sounds like an innocent question from a newbie artist, right? Well, before you go putting your mentorship pants on, you need to know the truth. Asking an artist what they draw with is like asking a magician their true name. These scammers are going to steal your talent.

what a wretched news day. we're really rackin' 'em up before black history month is over

Image wants you to forget that multiple women have accused Jason Latour of sexual harassment and assault, and that he specifically used his position in the industry as leverage against them. Cool!

looking at bafta's statement and I think we as a people have gotta put "dignity" into the same box with "articulate"

if I was in New York, I'd go to this. I wouldn't miss it for the world. all the coolest people are gonna be there.

Email today saying I still have to be out by the end of the month. Email today saying they are sending the exterminator in for the fourth time. I'm trying to tell them I won't move these roaches but they're not listening. Any help is appreciated

Someone should let me write an "Absolute Tawky Tawny" one-shot.

my mom used to take me and my brother to stuff like this. I'm really grateful, even though I grew up into someone allergic to joy. being black is the best job I ever had.

it's a new age of heroes

if you live in the beautiful Oakland Bay Area, I'll see you in May. I haven't been to a home show since Rose City 2017, I think. I'm gonna bike home after the show each day and play video games

stuck on Romeo is a Deadman. writing about it. sure would be easier to type about this game if the soundtrack were on streaming, though...

I keep thinking "...or Morrissey, who I gather is some kinda white precursor to Kanye West" but I don't have any place to put it

that is a great design but maybe using skulls for bowls is taking no kings a bit far

defeated by rain, again: the david brothers story

Romeo is a Deadman: a game for people who know about Frank Miller, Oscar Wilde, and the original Shining Wizard, before Keiji Muto nerfed it. the soundtrack needs to come out asap

This is good. I love grants. I wish we had more. Things like this remind me that lots of people in comics (and elsewhere) are pushing for things to be better from a variety of angles. check out these critics and dig into some comics:

I'm so excited to announce the recipients of this year's Comics Criticism Mini Grant. Congrats to Chad Nevett, Steve Baxi, Emmy Waldman, and Samantha Puc for their amazing work in comics criticism this year! @chadnevett.bsky.social @stevebaxi.bsky.social @emmywaldman.bsky.social @theverbalthing.com

I mostly think about Demon Days and dying lately, so this new Gorillaz album is very timely. Cool interview with the duo. That man ain’t never coming back to comics magazine.032c.com/magazine/gor...

bro it is BLACK HISTORY MONTH!!!

Para celebrar el anuncio de 'Death Stranding 2: Me Voy a la Playita', que mejor forma que verse mi video análisis del juego original y de si Kojima es (o no) un buen escritor: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYSq...

Y de paso, le dais más amor a mi video de esta semana, sobre 'Killer7', un juego muy inspirador cuya sátira política subida de tono se ha ido convirtiendo, poco a poco, en nuestra realidad: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdpN...

john wick and james bond look like the same thing

I drilled a couple holes a few weeks ago. Very timely.

Please share! I have a new video about the game Killer7, an explosive work of pop violence and political satire that, besides being art, is still highly relevant today. Link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdpN... To celebrate, here’s a thread of Killer7 characters as Dril tweets! 😜👇

this guy was born to be a low-tier character in an SNK fighting game with this exact same motivation. his team gets annihilated in the first round of King of Fighters by a pop star, her weird fan, and a grandpa who smells like every kind of liquor, but has a funny ending where he gets dumped again.

I have really been looking forward to this one. Romeo is a Deadman comes out on PlayStation tonight. www.youtube.com/watch?v=23VX...

I’m gonna boo Cody Rhodes for the rest of my natural life.

thanks to @hotspringsummer.bsky.social for the tip. GDQ is live this weekend. Crash Bandicoot 3 right now: www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick

one weird thing about twitch is seeing people play games they clearly don't want to because they think the chat demands it. I don't mean in a funny way, "I'm laughing while being tortured by PS1 Fear Effect," but genuinely giving themselves a lot of stress and headache instead of changing games

y'all can't be on here talking about "woke 2" during black history month. that's like remaking The Wiz with an all-white cast
