With ‘A Star Called The Sun,’ Simon Roy evolves his weird, charming sci-fi universe @simonroy.bsky.social aiptcomics.com/2026/02/05/a...

A great pleasure chatting with @chriscoplan.bsky.social about the book, and generally vamping on a zoom call... now transcribed into a fancy article for you to read and enjoy!

Another Deep Dive from @aiptcomics.com! It was so great to chat it up w/ @simonroy.bsky.social as his books/larger universe are some of the most interesting and relevant sci-fi I've seen in some time. Enjoy!

Another Deep Dive as Mike and I talk all things @invadercomics.bsky.social. Those folks are doing some cool and interesting things, and you should check it out posthaste.

The FOC for this bad boy is today. As you sort all that out, enjoy me and @davechisholmcomics.com going deep about making comics, sci-fi storytelling, who is the hero (and why it matters), and much, much more. (CC @madcavestudios.com)

I'd describe this week as, "People standing amid varying levels of carnage/chaos." Enjoy!

A real good one from @davidbrooke.bsky.social.

For the evening crowd: I went deep with @mattkindt.bsky.social and @davidlapham.bsky.social about a neat-o new superhero story (that's so, so much more than a superhero story). CC @darkhorse.com

There's loads of horror these days, but @idwpublishing.com has something cool going w/ IDW Dark. RIYL: Horror adaptations, people-centric storytelling, and Dracula fighting fascists.

Another Deep Dive as I talk to two of my faves about superheroes, growing older, personal responsibility (vs. escapism), collaboration, and why your average cape-rocking guardian doesn't need shoes. (CC @darkhorse.com):

Happy #NCBD/#newcomicbookday~!

It’s like The Maxx had a baby with Æon Flux. And that baby raised me.

Acquiring these somehow.

Not only is this book so dang good, but so are my handful of wrestling references. A tag team of nerdy joy!

Well, @mattbors.bsky.social and company KILLED IT with this issue. ‘TAC’ is doing big, big things and I’m really excited for the future of this storyline. Woo!

I think there's something really novel here, and the team could have a mighty enough successor to the great 'Spread.' RIYL: demons, magic-tech, mayhem.

These covers 👀 are too good to ignore! Check out @chriscoplan.bsky.social picks for the most striking new #comics covers this week in Judging by the Cover! 📸🔥 @mikeljanin.bsky.social @thekylestarks.bsky.social @nickcagnetti.bsky.social @adamkubert.bsky.social #comicsky

Back at it again with another 'Judging by the Cover' from @aiptcomics.com. Complete w/ goodness from @nickdragotta.bsky.social, @thekylestarks.bsky.social, @nickcagnetti.bsky.social, @mikeljanin.bsky.social, and much more. Enjoy!

More proof why ‘Ted’ is theeeee comic of 2026: aiptcomics.com/2026/01/08/i...

Absolutely brilliant. 1,000 years of chef’s kissing.

Tell me your pet’s name in a gif

Happy #NCBD!

In case you missed it, a new Deep Dive with @strangers.bsky.social, which is doing big and wonderful things for indie comics.

Having a jazz cigarette and playing “Death Stranding” for the first time. PDAMA*. (* = Please Don’t Ask Me Anything.)

"The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to 'Real Housewives of Orange County.'"

What a penultimate issue from @henrybarajas.bsky.social and company. 'Death to Pachuco' continues to be all kinds of fun, exciting, thoughtful, and deeply prescient. Read it, suckas!

A busy issue on many levels, but this book keeps running and spinning in some interesting (and slightly, slightly irksome) ways. Onward to the finale!

New Deep Dive (TM)! @strangers.bsky.social is super cool for about 112 different reasons, and I hope you get as much out of this chat as I did. Weird comics forever!

A late birthday present for myself— it’s glorious .

Today is my 40th #birthday! I request compliments, animal pics, and/or spicy comics hot takes.

More love for my comic of 2026. (Unless we get that Centurions x Nightwing Crossover.)

Not my normal bag but dang doggie do I want to try this.

Stoked for The Consumption. TDATD is A-1 fantasy, folks.

BAMFing is just when he teleports you to Newark and leaves.

This so out this week — it’s hella brilliant.

Today is FOC, so get laser-focued accordingly. (If you need more laser jokes, @alexpaknadel.bsky.social, I'm your man.)

You, me, a dark-dance band.

The FOC is on Monday, so get going if ya wanna stop being a Cyclops hater like me. Or maybe if you want to still be a Cyclops hater. Live your life, playas!

For the evening crowd: More Deep Dive action from what’s already my fave book of 2026!

I am quite proud of how quickly and effectively this piece came together. And shout-out to @alexpaknadel.bsky.social for being a good sport, and letting me dump on Cyclops as he presented a poignant and engaged examination on the X-Men's resident Boy Scout. This book's gonna be a ruby-colored gem!

First Deep Dive of the year! And @davechisholmcomics.com and I go extra deep into what I think will be among the very best books of 2026. Forget Ted — you won’t be OK after this book (in a really good way?!)

"I know. And I love it!"

First review of 2026 is one I've been eagerly awaiting for some months. My love affair with all things 'Toxic Avenger' continues as @mattbors.bsky.social and company go to D.C. and get weird but also very real. Mops up!

Talking about @2000ad.bsky.social ? Always awesome. Getting to officially say I interviewed Ben Wheatley? Uber mega awesome.

New year, same old Judging goodness.

I’m proud of us for getting, like, 40 minutes out of this extra slow week.

I got Saga Legends recently, and they’re all self-contained little wonders.

I got the entirety of the Morrison-penned JLA run for $35ish. (Can post pic.) A proud moment in collecting.

A perfect Toxie. Need to read that Team Up again.

That’s brilliant.
