Can't stop thinking about the fact that the government is literally slashing public service jobs while bringing in AI for use in the public service. They are literally doing, as a government, what we scream at tech bros for doing to their employees. Pretty gross!

Hey everyone! In addition to the previously announced nonfiction workshop and Matthew J. Trafford interview, I will be hosting a lecture at the AfterWords Festival in Halifax on post-traumatic narratives. Hope to see you there! afterwordsliteraryfestival.com/product/refr...

It's appropriate that this sentiment comes after the industry realized that they haven't done anything useful in 20 years so they descended into mass psychosis over tech that does nothing but purports to do everything

and ribs!

Read the first volume of Hobtown Mystery Stories and that comic scratched an itch. Hot dang. Good stuff. Real sense of place in its setting. We love that.

There's a shotgun-wielding "Ape Lord", a gang of purple-clad psychics, a flying saucer, and if that isn't enough, our lead is thinking, speaking, and experiencing the entire story BACKWARDS: HOBTOWN MYSTERY STORIES III: The Secret of the Saucer drops on November 25th!

Hobtown Mystery Stories (@hobtown.bsky.social): only the latest will be released this year, but I absolutely devoured all 3 of these fantasy-horror comics about mystery-solving 90s teens in Nova Scotia. The 2nd was especially traumatic (I read it twice 👀). They put the "graphic" in graphic novel

If you're on the @waltscomicshop.bsky.social FOC list, you just received my blatant attempt to hype the Hobtown Mysteries series from @omnipress.bsky.social, IMO maybe the biggest hidden gem in the warehouse. So excited for vol. 3!

Fit check

Instead of HATING AND KILLING the author of the other totally sick ONI Press surrealist graphic novel about flying saucers coming out this year, the two of us chose friendship and solidarity. Here's my interview with ADAM SZYM about his phenomenal book Little Visitor & Other Abductions!

Being a butcher, I was at stores where I would be the main cutter. I’d get home and my hands would be in so much pain, I couldn’t draw shit. Even the mental energy needed to write was exhausted. I honestly feel part of being a cartoonist is finding a day job where you can 1/2 ass, 1/4 ass infact!

Why did you make that, man

An easy one: Any comics film adaptation that exists without the original creator being able to pay off their house is a moral failure

ANNOUNCEMENT: I'll have a 43 page comic called PARTISAN in the 2nd issue of @mothership.bsky.social 's MEGADAMAGE magazine. An eviscerated android is discovered in the airlock of a luxury cruise vessel. The ship's security officer has to investigate using the android's downloaded memories.

noticed this little easter egg on a recent reread

Reminder to artists: The creature who comes to you asking for a partnership with nothing on offer except "connections" is a parasite. They want something very precious, and they want it for nothing. Never, ever let them in.

The Vertigo book that quite literally made me into the person I am today is coming back into print in January in one colossal volume. 1500 pages for $60. Our current moment is sadly lacking in high-quality THE INVISIBLES discourse and I would love it if that would change. icv2.com/articles/new...

Alien abduction -> horror -> comic book is a niche in a niche in a niche…which usually spells NYTIMES BESTSELLER LIST.

This ain't my genre, but someone right now is having an "Fuck yeah, two cakes!" moment of their life.

Instead of HATING AND KILLING the author of the other totally sick ONI Press surrealist graphic novel about flying saucers coming out this year, the two of us chose friendship and solidarity. Here's my interview with ADAM SZYM about his phenomenal book Little Visitor & Other Abductions!

I did a long in depth interview with Kris Bertin, writer of the great Hobtown series, about my new book, what compels me about aliens, working with the unknown, and of course: day jobs. Give it a read, @hobtown.bsky.social asks some great questions!

In 2019 when I first thought of doing a collection of abduction stories I knew I wanted a cover inspired by the Time Life books that intrigued me so much as a kid. Little Visitor & Other Abductions releases on September 23rd. #comics #horror #scifi #UFOs #graphicnovels @oni-press.bsky.social

I fully appreciate that “sick” could be (a) ‘really cool’ like the kids say, (b) disgusting and demented, or (c) makes one feel disturbed upon reading… but is probably (d) all of the above. @hobtown.bsky.social rules. Can’t wait for November.

I read the new Hobtown book early and it’s sick.

An old Aeon Flux

The Alberta book ban stuff is really depressing. It feels like it caught a lot of people off guard, and no one is doing a good job of defending against Danielle Smith’s censorious agenda. Margaret Atwood’s little jibes are amusing to her fans, but they don’t help.

logging on to see what the writers are up to now

watching a random movie on netflix: unpleasant, disappointing watching a random movie on tubi: extraordinary, a blessing

This rules ass

coming up in CEMETERY KIDS RUN RABID #2 A horrible toad-man from @danielirizarri.bsky.social

LITTLE VISITOR & OTHER ABDUCTIONS releases in just ONE MONTH from @oni-press.bsky.social just in time for the start of the 🎃Halloween🎃 season! Three original stories of alien abduction. Preorder it here: www.simonandschuster.com/books/Little... #comics #horror #scifi #comicbooks #graphicnovels

Ordering it into your local comic shop is the most helpful, because it brings the book to the people who love comics and carefully curate collections for their customers. A local shop that recommends us to the discerning reader means more to us than just about anything else!

I'm convinced that there's nothing to the project of modern life beyond various denials: denial of death, denial of grief, denial of mystery, denial of incompleteness, denial of trust, denial of care, denial of vulnerability. A lifetime of denial, and one last stupid moment of forced awe at the end.

Heist flick/chase thriller EENIE MEANIE hits streaming today. Crime fans and anyone interested in hard hitting practical chase sequences should give it a look. My review: kino-ventura.blogspot.com/2025/08/eeni... @20thcenturystudios.bsky.social

Ha! Amazing. I love it. You might appreciate this jaunty fellow I met two Sundays ago:

Hobtown is a really special thing, if you didn't read the two first books yet you really should.
