Our busy CXF elves have come up with some recommendations for the comic-book-loving, fan-brained people in your life.

The Boston Globe identified the companies in Massachusetts that employ the most SNAP recipients. A key stat: "In Massachusetts, 74% of working-age recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program are employed, half of them full-time." Full article: www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/28/m...

FORGET ABOUT THE PARADE AND YOUR FAMILY AND STUPID TURKEY!!! THERE'S A NEW QUINNS QUEST REVIEW!!!

all stanning of popes is necessarily conditional, the Church is the Church, but the man said AI won't stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God's creation so with all our conditions intact yes we stan

And the folks who are actually writing full-time generally only got there after years of day jobs, family support, or both. The point of sharing this is not to demoralize anyone, but to let emerging writers know they're not failing if they can't make a living off writing alone. Almost no one can.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

UwU

you know what? good advice.

The crime of genocide didn't exist until after WW2. It was something we decided was real, needed to be identified and punished. Even if we've been spectacularly bad at putting it in practise, we conceptualised it. I think it's about time for a CEO crime of murder-by-Economy.

#3157 A helpful tutorial

@armaanautomatic.itch.io @markturetsky.com @wordsfromapenn.com & @rasmusskovlykke.bsky.social teamed up to cover Image's DIE: Loaded #1 comicsxf.com/2025/11/16/d...

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Old sweetheart of mine moved back into town, and I misjudged it as a Hallmark film opening. Nope, it's a Nordic noir opening. She has memory lapses from drinking and is looking into the murder of our old teacher. Lots of coffee and full frontal nudity, but it's been bleak coffee and nudity.

DIE is back, and as hauntingly beautiful and intriguing as ever!

If you love great art, be sure to check out bit.ly/Leonardidoub... !! #blueangel

Once again Delta Green is in the fight.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

It's (deep breath) DIE: LOADED #1, DIE RPG QUICKSTART and THE POWER FANTASY #13 week! #comics @imagecomics.com

I seem to remember whole congressional hearings about the terrible destructive force that is violence in video games and yet, there is a very strange quiet about an unregulated technology that coaches people to suicide.

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.

This goes double for anything any milk brained pundits think of last night’s elections. Their takes will be bad! We know they will be! Who cares what they think, they have been loudly and enthusiastically proven wrong in races literally everywhere.

I just backed THE RICK LEONARDI DOUBLE FEATURE on @kickstarter.com !! www.kickstarter.com/projects/new...

A great day for the golden rule of political analysis: when the right wins it is a resounding ideological victory that humiliates the left and when the left wins it is a precarious fluke that will surely end up humiliating the left. Conservatives are power’s landlords and the left merely tenants

The Comics Courier Issue 3 Kickstarter campaign end tonight! Make sure to get your pledges in and grab a copy of the coolest comics criticism newspaper around.

please watch movies and read books and play games and look at art, please view it with your own eyes through a lens you made yourself and not just through video essayists and ending explained videos please im begging you

I don’t know how many times I have to say this but if you didn’t know any geek girls in high school or you don’t know any now it’s because they didn’t trust you and you’re *NOT A SAFE PERSON* for women to be themselves around.

You have ONE WEEK left to pledge for The Comics Courier Kickstarter and get your copy of the Courier Issue 3 at our campaign price!

The thing you need to understand about the NBA is I love it and it's the best and I am so glad it's back.

I don't know what visual metaphor you need for the moment, but this should do it

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on. Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights. Block, and move on. This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

We put this online last night. We had fun with this.

RIP Drew Struzan A master.

It’s @mattlaz1013.bsky.social’s birthday, so please celebrate him by checking out all the great Batman coverage he does with Will Nevin at CXF.

Ran out of words and not tagging @imagecomics.com and @stephaniehans.bsky.social. Also, appreciate any spreading of this. It is that time.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

The CXFamily offers its predictions for who will win DC K.O. That's right folks, we got BRACKS ON BRACKS ON BRACKS ON BRACKS! Additional commentary provided by @danielpgrote.bsky.social @scottredmond.bsky.social & @rasmusskovlykke.bsky.social comicsxf.com/2025/10/07/d...

Of all the places I’ve written for, only Shelfdust let me write about Garfield through a Shakespearean lens!

Consumer-facing "A.i." is controlled by rightwing billionaires with an interest in spreading disinfo. Excise it from your lives, friends. It's trash.

It's dangerous to go alone! Take this guide to Marvel's Age of Revelation: comicsxf.com/2025/10/01/x...

The Comics Courier Issue 3 is live, and if you've thought to yourself, "I really wish David wrote more," well, I have good news for you: I'm in this one! I'm writing about Keigo Shinzo and how three of his comics show his evolution. Back it on Kickstarter, because The Comics Courier rules!

So exhausting..
