ALWAYS

when you finish reading a really good graphic novel and all you can do is sit there and be this horse

Before We Sail es Clave. 🚬

A strange and compelling series within the very good ACES WEEKLY digital platform. Check it out, give a @ringoawards.bsky.social nod!

For anyone interested, I just started a petition to get anything created using generative AI disqualified from Eisner Award consideration moving forward. Please consider signing and sharing. www.change.org/no-ai-at-the...

Oohh, folks I can vouch for this one - really enjoyed it a lot! Check out my interview with the awesome creators: youtu.be/FcT8XzFyibs

📌 VOTE FOR "BEFORE WE SAIL"!!!!! 📜 If you haven't already, and think is worthy, vote for BWS to be nominated for the Ringo Awards! 🙏 Not for me, but my wonderful team that made everything in their power to make this possible. Link! 🗳️ ringoawards.survey.fm/ringo-awards...

Anti-Colonialism and Resistance are just marketing categories and cosplay outfits to put on for 'importance' by wealthy libs like this. Just something to shallowly exploit for personal career advancements and book deals. No respect.

You know... Sometimes I still don't believe that my team and I were able to achieve this. Dream come true. 🖤

🙌

I know he only makes very few of them, but I'm very happy that in every interview he does, Jonathan Hickman always expresses his disdain for Variant Covers. That's my guy. Burn that shit. Along with the Blind Bags.

Una Review a profundidad de 10 minutos sobre Before We Sail??? Wow, muchas gracias Gatto Comics!!!! 🙌 Pueden verla aquí! youtu.be/KWaJvaziLxw?...

The thing about comics criticism is that most places don't actually pay for your contributions. For a lot of us, we purely do it for the love of writing. Tiffany doing this over the last couple years is huge for people who want to write while everything gets more and more expensive

One of the best interviews I've had so far.

Hot reminder that applications for the 2026 Comics Criticism Mini Grant are OPEN! If you're a comics critic, please apply! forms.gle/Cy8FtCcqVSWa...

Feed: "Pullbox Previews Before We Sail- A post-apocalyptic story told in seven parts, as part of a digital anthology available through Aces Weekly" By: Paul on Saturday, June 28, 2025

Comic Review: ‘Before We Sail’ by Yacolca and Lino "A poignant portrayal not just of an apocalypse and the people surviving it, but also of their struggle with the mental weight of meaning in a crumbling world." Jeff Provine has our full #graphicnovel review: blogcritics.org/comic-review...

I had a couple of interviews today with potential Beat/KCB contributors. Both women. Both mentioned that they have had problems with stalkers. It's been a constant thing I've heard during this process. THIS IS SO FUCKING UNCOOL WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!???!??!???!?

We gotta bump those Manga Lettering rates up big-time, give em the time and incentive to really craft this shit properly. I can't keep dealing with official lettering that looks like it's from 2013 Mangafox scans.

Only 1 dollar for a great story? Maybe more if you stick on? That sounds great! @acesweekly.bsky.social

It was so cool watching this strip come in and getting it prepped each week. You’ll have an even cooler experience reading it in one sitting

As heard about on Pint O' Comics (still available in the archive through the 15th... CHECK IT OUT!

Fantastic story in a fantastic publication! Check it out!

October's Art

On the same day we had: - The return of the best comic journalist of our times. - A really well written and argument tweet about a mainstream comic. Both make noise and also show to more people what Comic Journalism SHOULD be like. It's was a good day.

The good stuff

Readings of September!

You realize Moore was absolutely right about the infantile nature of the exercise of trying to distil life-lessons from Superhero stuff. Even worse when people do it with his stuff and utter despair when it's Thiel.

As DC Vertigo is coming with his classic logo, let's all praise its designer, the great RICHARD BRUNING. He was DC art director for years and thanks to him we have Watchmen, The Dark Knight or The Killing Joke designs...

Some weeks ago, I talked with @giannilmao.bsky.social in an interview where I felt relaxed and free, but also energetic and with some speed to be able discuss all the various topics I had in mind for only 30 minutes. It make an interesting result Jej Listen to it! open.spotify.com/episode/0YFt...
