I started the year at BF saying we would approach our commitment to socially relevant work with a renewed vigour in 2025 and that would include books we missed covering first time around. Here's a good example.

Stop fucking posting on X, the white nationalist site for white nationalists.

Any time I hear about billionaires building data centers I picture Apokolips

To be clear, generative "A.i." is theft and garbage for ANY kind of creative work. Do not use it. Your work will suck and people will laugh at you if you do.

With the world continuing its plummet into a netherworldly abyss, and the disappointment of seeing multiple UK indie creators this week expressing sentiments Comicsg*te would be proud of, I am taking some comfort in setting up some (free) Zoom mentoring calls for a handful of emerging artists.

For those that are interested, a newly printed authors edition is available to purchase on my website and at gosh comics!

I joined @brokenfrontier.bsky.social at the end of 2006 to review super-hero comics. This year will mark 20 years and a lot has changed since. Primarily I now own BF. And I have probably reviewed maybe one super-hero comic in the last several years. Exploring the comics universe and all that...

To resist oppression, and continue to protest for basic civil rights in the face of powerful authorities, is heroic. Every change begins with a small group of determined citizens. The future has not been decided yet, let’s make it better than the past. Let’s stick up for one another ✊

Amidst the ruins of a world burning down around us, chatting with the new #BF6toWatch is very cathartic.
