I am going to gift this to so many people.

This is lowkey me after I've written anything. I do the best I can, get as much as I can out of the experience. Then after, my brain's like 'I've failed' and can only really see the flaws/limits, and just obsesses over all the ways it could've been better. 😂 No validation etc does anything.

Nothing worse than a 'talking scene' in a comic that's visualized like a 'staring at the screen' youtuber apology video. Therapy Talk comics if you will, you know the sort.

Comic journalism pals, please check your mail. ------- Compas del periódismo de cómic, por favor chequen su correo.

A thing I wish I saw more of is people who are not pros/creators, just regular folks, discussing craft of the comics they're reading just for themselves, casually, like in film or anything else, so all I know to do is just do that which I would like to see more of lol.

Ok... Here's what I read/listen on June/July/August

Our cluster of content on Ram V and Filipe Andrade's "The Many Deaths of Laila Starr" is over but not forgotten! Here's a recap of what we covered, starting with “An Introduction to ‘The Many Deaths of Laila Starr.’” 1/6 #ComicsStudies bsky.app/profile/sequ...

👋 Are you a comics podcaster or journalist? Are you proud of something you've written or produced in the last few months? Want more people to see it? We'd love to share it in our feed & spread the good word.

"Con «Before We Sail», Aces Weekly confirma que el cómic digital sigue siendo un terreno fértil para la innovación." Yeah! 🤘

Estrenada en Aces Weekly, "Before we sail", de Carlos Yacolca y Michelle Lino no es el apocalipsis que esperas, sino el que temes. #comicsaroundtheworld #HemerotecaCuantica cuanticagrafica.com/2025/07/22/b... @carlosyacolcaaa.bsky.social @acesweekly.bsky.social @cuanticagrafica.bsky.social

A mis amigos de barranco les va a dar un paro cardiaco cuando eso suceda.

The mantra of the enterprise is 'The Artist Is Disposable, Da Writer Is King, We Always Gotta Pump Out On Time', now combine that with its labor-history which continues to this day, and it all just tracks for me lol. A.I just slots into that ethos pretty comfortably. Content-Pumping, not Art.

But then again-the key to cracking the code is realizing that the figure both writers are essentially writing in reaction to, one way or another, is basically embodied by Morrison's own father. The Principled Soldier Of War in an unjust war, who spends his life haunted by it.

There has so far been no AI generated bestselling book. No AI generated hit record. No AI generated blockbuster film or TV show. No evidence yet in fact that there is any commercial demand at all for individual AI generated artworks. But there HAVE been 1,000 pieces about how inevitable they are

If one of the themes that someone can take from BWS is "the intent to stop making zombies and the need to move on to new genres," then my 2nd/3rd work will be a DIRECT attempt to KILL one genre. No more talking. I'm fucking tired. I'll pull the trigger. Better get to work.

El resfriado ya se fue... YA PUEDO VOLVER A LEER COMICS!!!!!!

My two mantras @robwilliams71.bsky.social @denizcamp.bsky.social

I have seen a peruvian comicgater creator. Shit, now I have seen it all... Now that we are on topic, FUCK COMICSGATE

A las 3pm iba a twittear: "Acaba de pasar la cosa mas Cgue de risa del año." Pero no lo hice. Bueno, ahora viendo lo que paso, si lo twitteo: "Acaban de pasar LAS DOS cosas mas Cgue de risa del año"

Hey comics journalists, can someone could make a note about the relations about Ram V's Resurrection Man and @toolmusic.bsky.social's lyrics? I want to see what can be found there.

I confirm the ghosting part.

Ladies and Gentlemen... I present you... The British Comic Invasion Legend! PETER FU**ING MILLIGAN! Thank you so much for your words Peter Milligan! I will continue doing my best. 🤘 📜 Subscribe to Aces Weekly and read BEFORE WE SAIL!

I was talking to @aleskot.bsky.social one time on IG, and I told him the comics need him back in the game. "It's their problem," he said. Well... if he wouldn't show up, I have to. So I stepped in.

@stipanmorian.bsky.social! The one that made, with @denizcamp.bsky.social, the best comic of this decade. 20TH CENTURY MEN! Thank you so much for your words. 🙏 📜 Subscribe to Aces Weekly and read BEFORE WE SAIL!

BWS finished So it's time to make this plan before the next one.

If I being honest, I really put a lot of time choosing which music would go on each IG post for BWS. It was so fun. Post-Punk, Art-Pop, Hip-Hop, Cloud Rap, Neo-Perreo, Progressive Rock, Indie-R, Post-R, Jazz and more. MUSIC CURATION I felt like a DJ

I really enjoyed putting the chapters up in AcesWeekly.co.uk last volume You will really enjoy reading the whole set if you click that link

"The story has so many rich and complex characters and emotions within it" ➡️ Rating: 8.5 out of 10 BANG! 🔥

Yeah... It's a wrap. 🤍

Ram V's best work in the work-for-hire 'superhero' realm is The Swamp Thing because it is explicitly about a guy from the Global South who moves to the imperial core and emerges as an imperial monster to his own people/family, and can never undo the damage he causes.
