I got to talk to @deltahead.bsky.social about plants, mental health, and their new book! They’re so cool! www.tcj.com/an-interview...

I got to talk yesterday with awesome CBC GN Advocate awardees @andreacecelia.bsky.social and @redgoldsparks.bsky.social about the challenges—and joy—in comics publishing today. You can watch our conversation at the link! cbcbooks.org/publishers/p...

The only way this interview with @decassette.bsky.social could’ve been better was if there were more dragons, but we had to leave some space for frogs and heists and cat cafes, I guess! www.tcj.com/an-interview...

Thanks so much to the Children's Book Council for recognizing me with this year's Graphic Novel Advocate Award! cbcbooks.org/awards-and-b...

I talked to many amazing comics retailers about tariffs for @comicsjournal.bsky.social and mostly they are very tired (but still excited about comics). www.tcj.com/tariffs-are-...

I got to interview two people who have been changing the face of comics their whole careers (and who have now teamed up for a new book) for TCJ! www.tcj.com/what-do-you-...

I wrote a super-depressing article about comics publishing and tariffs at the beginning of the year, and it was sufficiently ominous that now I’ve written another one. Thanks to everyone who talked to me for this! www.tcj.com/comics-and-t...

Thank you to all the publishers who talked to me about their thoughts on tariffs in 2025! www.tcj.com/what-will-po...

I got to talk to Bianca Xunise! She’s awesome! www.tcj.com/i-dont-think...

It’s Banned Books Week and comics are being targeted. Gina Gagliano reports: “In the last three years, the numbers have seen a huge jump – 2023’s total censorship attempts are twenty times what they were just three years ago in 2020.” www.tcj.com/the-state-of...

It’s Banned Books Week! I got to talk to a lot of very cool authors, librarians, and other folks about what’s happening with comics and censorship today. www.tcj.com/the-state-of...

It was very neat to get to talk to Siobhan Gallagher about her latest book for TCJ! www.tcj.com/it-was-defin...
