Stream it. Scream it. 🤘 #LongFace by the notorious band #TheVampireLestat is available NOW wherever you listen to music.

Hey folks! I will be celebrating the Vertigo release of THE PERIL OF THE BRUTAL DARK at Main Street Comics in Milltown, NJ on Saturday, February 28th. We are giving away free event-exclusive tees to the first 25 people in line (but other goodies will be available!). Mark your calendars!

I’m currently working on the 2nd edition of The Business of Independent Comic Book Publishing. This sample introduces the idea of being a creator-owned publisher. www.gamalhennessy.com/blog/how-do-you-publish-creator-owned-comics

Vertigo Comics is back from the dead and @danthemcmahon.bsky.social is taking a look at a zombie book all about The Self in BLEEDING HEARTS #1 from @denizcamp.bsky.social and @stipanmorian.bsky.social gatecrashers.fan/2026/02/11/c...

I have been digging into so many zombie stories over the past year. This one is special. I have a lot to say.

Wrote for the first time in awhile tonight. Feels good. Need to do it more.

QUAD GOD

QUAD GOD!

HEY WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN THERE ARE ONLY THREE DUNC NOVELLAS, GEORGE R R MARTIN?

Horror writer Cullen Bunn is launching The Midnight Lantern Foundation, a new nonprofit dedicated to supporting families in need through the power of genre storytelling.

QUAD GOD

This and my wedding are tied for the most important things in 2025 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSdO...

I'm getting out of the hospital today and I could use some help, if you're able. Even taking the time to check it out or share means more than I can say. gofund.me/1c96e422c

You can still buy Rubber Match digitally! If you want a cute queer pro-wrestling romance, toss Elizabeth some money for the PDF! My pipe dream is that she someday breaks even on it. (context: like many indie comics, the writer fronted the cost of the art) peachchild.gumroad.com/l/rubbermatc...

For those that can't escape Photoshop, (such as myself RIP) request an agent to speak with on their virtual assistant to switch your plan not listed on the site. I requested to REMOVE generative AI "features" or extra apps -- it took me about an hour, but my plan went from 22.99 to 15.99 a month.

Still nothing

We are heading down the slopes to talk about the Winter Olympics! Kate and Pat teach Dan all about figure skating and so much more about the Olympics. Dan also becomes obsessed with the idea of the QUAD GOD. Be sure to give it a listen and watch the games! gatecrashers.fan/2026/02/04/w...

So excited to reveal this incredible Kelley Jones homage variant from @andrewdrilon.bsky.social for Superguy issue 2: My Date with the President’s Daughter! Available as part of the Kickstarter campaign for issue 2 launching on Feb. 10th

Had such a fun time yapping at @danthemcmahon.bsky.social with Kate! Genuinely so exciting to talk about what is maybe my #1 hyperfixation #MilanCortina2026 #Olympics

I learned so much on this one and loved every minute of it

What's it like to create during a crisis? I talked with members of the Minneapolis comic community like @trungles.com, @zandercannon.bsky.social, K. Woodman-Maynard, and more about making comics during ICE's occupation, the ICE Out Comics initiative, and more. This is open to non-subscribers.

The thing about all these men is they could date anybody. They're rich, they're famous. They could bag socialites or models or actresses or whoever. Instead they single out the most vulnerable women and girls they can find. They cannot form relationships with women who are their peers.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is the first fantasy thing I’ve ever fallen in love with. Dunc and Egg are the duo I’ve always wanted.

The next 3 people that order zines are also getting a copy of my short story collection gently chewed at the edge by my beloved rabbits 😂 you can decide for yourself if that qualifies as an "extra" but I need to get them out of my house and can't sell them. Or I could but let's do this instead.

To get caught using AI to write a news announcement for a Vampirella book is wild. Like clearly it’s been used before with that “clickbait headline” bit.

I know this is silly, but the only easily-accessible metric I have for guessing pre-order numbers for IS TED OK? issue 1 is the League of Comic Geeks platform. The little number next to the green icon in the bottom left is at 475 right now. Help me get it to 500 by Monday Feb 2 (FOC)???

Another day and still business as usual over at AIpt

See, told you

ReedPop is feeling the heat over its sister company's relationship with ICE, declaring it does not share customer information with their parent.

A deep and heartfelt thank you to everyone who made my first Kickstarter, Horror Not Hate, a success. I am so excited for everyone to see the book we've cooked up. And all the cool swag! Late pledges and merch are still available -- including our pride stickers & shirts.

In case you missed it, my first book as a writer – a four-issue body horror mini-series set in Bollywood, if that's your jam – was announced. This thread has all the details, and I'll be updating it as we go.

Still nothing from AIPT on being caught using AI. If you want comic news, go to The Beat or other sites who don't use AI

Do you like comedy? ORLA! Is a satire of the hellscape that is modern dating, skewering manosphere brainrot. I’m not saying some people deserve to eaten by a monster, but… Art by @sallycantirino.bsky.social, @dearbhlala.bsky.social, letters by @letteringbear.bsky.social. ORLA! is out 21st April.

Last night, I read Everything Dead & Dying from @tatebrombal.bsky.social and @thatjacobphillips.bsky.social start to finish. While I gather my thoughts to write something, I can say it's the single best zombie comic I have ever read. It is painful, harrowing, and filled with love.

I GOT TO TALK WITH THE CREATORS OF YO GABBA GABBA AND THE SINGER OF THE AQUABATS

Sal Buscema, beloved comics artist, passes away Sal Buscema, a veteran comics artist and part of the famed Buscema family of Marvel artists, has passed away. He was 89 years old when he died on Friday, and the news broke today, on what would have been his 90th birthday.

Haunted past, a tide of evil. The sea cannot hold all its secrets in Estuary: A Ghost Story. The next horror jam by @timdanielcomics.bsky.social and me. A @maanhouse.bsky.social C Steve Canon L @tayloresposito.bsky.social E @besspallares.bsky.social P @oni-press.bsky.social In comic shops, April.

I've poked around and it's almost definitely from the site. No other site has the prompt, even when they obviously just copied and pasted the PR. Unless everyone else caught the prompt and deleted it, it was AIPT.

Save the over $15k we've raised with this book that will benefit CHIRLA (Immigrant Rights) & Lambda Legal (LGBTQIA+ Rights). All net proceeds after printing will be donated. Horror Not Hate-- a horror comic and art anthology with a conscience. And cool rewards! PLEDGE NOW!!! bit.ly/HorrorNotHate

This is Greg Ketter, owner of Dreamhaven Books. Next time you're in Minneapolis, make sure you buy some comics from him. And keep an eye open for if/when his online shop opens.

They’ve still said nothing about this. Kinda wild.

To get caught using AI to write a news announcement for a Vampirella book is wild. Like clearly it’s been used before with that “clickbait headline” bit.

Finally.

The other day I posted about getting into the Hulk this year and becoming his size. I wasn’t kidding. Started reading Peter David’s run and a weightlifting program from Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Mother of Flies is out on Friday on @shudder.com. @danthemcmahon.bsky.social had the chance to sit down with the @adamsfamfilms.bsky.social to discuss the film, witchcraft, nature, and more! Give it a listen and make sure to check out the film! gatecrashers.fan/2026/01/21/m...

What if we closed our eyes and held hands and tried screaming in the hole together at the same time
