In today's webcomic page from the 2018 miniseries EMPOWERED AND SISTAH SPOOKY'S HIGH SCHOOL HELL, the phone-driven magic barrage of our beleaguered heroines continues: www.empoweredcomic.com/comic/high-s...

“if the public can't believe what law enforcement is saying then law enforcement probably can't depend on the cooperation of citizens to report information to them accurately”

it's not FOR us

My Canadian distributor has stopped shipping me books because UPS keeps charging them fees for brokerage even though they are non*tariffed. I spent hours on the phone with them and it was... Painful. What a world.

Canvas, donate, counter disinfo among friends and family when you hear it, print and distribute @meganpiont.bsky.social 's anti-ICE zines, refuse to comply, film. That all counts.

This one is great- check it out!

I wish I had the energy to talk about all this online in one place. So much of this is so fragile right now... Whatever, I have a livestream, I talk about it regularly. I can't chase people to listen to me. All good news but all very... Precipitous? Is that the word I want?

"The days of a preinted Preview cataog are over. It will exist but it will be online, as we currently do in Canada. It's set up to be efficient." #icv2 #nycc

Comics shops numebrs in 2025: ComicHub sales are up 27% in August! Incredible growth rate. Comics and GN sales have gotten closer together a trend that hasn't happened in a long time both growing. IN 2025...new comic buyers are flocking to store collectors being replaced by readers. #nycc #icv2

God if the outcome of all this is a discovery that a specific type of black mold makes you a weird bigot I'm gonna have a hearty chuckle then fill my pockets with stones and walk into a lake. We are now living in the mold age. The mildew years. The roaring fungis.

I have not seen that before. Cool! 🤔

if you start being like "yo the world looks bleak. looks whats going on" and then the LLM is like "yeah this shit sucks there's no way it'll get better" and if you start going down that road without actually mentioning suicide or violence it will just keep agreeing with you.

Every year I live in this super weird reality adjacent to NYCC. Like, I'm a few miles away-I have possibly the widest range of comics (per square feet) in the thirty mile radius of the convention and I just... Am not in any way involved. We used to host events before and after it but even those...

I spoke to the legendary @tricialockwood.bsky.social about a potential ghost, her new book, Pamela Anderson and meeting once in the cattle pen in a Trump rally. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

If you’re not reading The Power Fantasy by @kierongillen.bsky.social then you’re really missing out. Issue 12 is the start of a new arc and is probably my favorite issue of the series so far. You can even read the first issue online for free! imagecomics.com/read/the-pow...

I have letter to the editor this week in our local paper. Our community is, once again, facing a developer who wants to turn public, protected coastal land into a golf course. We've been here before. This time, it's shadier. And God knows it was shady last time. www.invernessoran.ca/top-story/co...

So, just a heads up about November: We're doing a crazy amount of clearance, trying to free up space in the shop... More details to come but here are the basics: About 1/2 the shop will be eligible for this: Buy 2, get 1 free Buy 3, get 2 free Buy 4, get 3 free Buy 5, get 4 free Buy Ten, 50% off

Jim Lee openly disparaging AI in no way guarantees anything, no one knows what the future of AI is and no one knows who will be in charge at DC Comics down the line. But I think it's important that a popular artist publicly shot AI down. Fans and artists ignorant of or using AI need to hear this.

Hell is not hot enough for those people.

I brought home only about 1/3 of the mrw graphic novels out tomorrow....

Sure, we're close tomorrow... And we have 27 new graphic novels out that day, no big... Last week was 24,so...you know... No sweat... 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😔

Only open for four hours today and lots to do! If you need books, please get at me ASAP!

Last night was a fun livestream www.youtube.com/live/UjJYDfp...

And somehow, the sky hasn't fallen, there's no economic catastrophe, Europe's green lands aren't suddenly all covered in panels. Wouldn't it be nice if all those people who wailed about how green energy is terrible and spells doom changed their tune to match reality? Well, a boy can dream.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

as a girl with a PhD in natural language processing and machine learning it's actually offensive to me when you say "we don't know how LLMs work so they might be conscious" I didn't spend 10 years in mines of academia to be told ignorance is morally equal knowledge. We know exactly how LLMs work.

In one week I'm diving into the arena of micro self-publishing with the debut of BAD GUY #1 so I revisited this blog post I wrote a little over a year ago about indy artist resources. A lot's changed since (especially for me) but it's mostly still relevant: www.ryandunlavey.com/post/i-m-my-...

Today and Thursday are our only full days this week... And today is supposed to be a right beauty in Huntington. So come through!

- We need cheaper printed black and white comics for the love of god - Comics for adults could do crazy numbers if they actually had support, pubs are leaving money on the table - Prose authors shouldn't be hired to write comics based on prose chops alone - Cartoonists should be paid 700x more

Good. Anyone pushing to end birthright citizenship is a racist arguing in bad faith.

AYE YO?????? PEOPLE *ARE* FIGHTING FOR US????????

We are closed again for the next two days. All the new stuff is ready and aside for subscribers, so don't stress. Just stop in and pick up and usual hours. If we special ordered you something, don't fear. Holiday hours are confusing- we will hold the books longer for those who can't make it in.

I think it’s very interesting how emphatically these conversations are about inevitability—it’s time, it’s happening, like it or not, and in particular, a sense of: “You have to.” When it comes to treating an AI product as a person, I assure you that I do not have to. And you do not have to.

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

Coal mining & generation jobs: 124,400 Solar/Wind/Battery generation jobs: 582,400 Coal power LCOE: $71-173/MWh Solar+storage LCOE: $50-131 unsubsidzed New coal plants are just subsidized lung cancer. Communities don’t want them and they don’t make any economic sense. (1/2)

While I'm not shocked they made Booster Gold an Omega, having Superman be his Alpha is a fascinating choice.

When you’re in New York City for #nycc next week, stop by the #nypl at 41st St and 5th Ave to enjoy the brand-new exhibition of comics written and drawn by Puerto Ricans. Celebrate Hispanic Heritage/Latinx Heritage month enjoying comics!

My friend @megabrain.bsky.social is closing, Bluestocking Collective is shutting it's doors. &, yet, about every day someone acts shocked when I say I am not sure we'll be open in 2026. I really hope we can be, and I've got some major sales for Nov & Dec planned so that we can but, Look around folk.

Cool to hear @iamdavidbrothers.com and @nickdragotta.bsky.social talk about their new project at @sktchd.bsky.social's OFF PANEL podcast: sktchd.com/podcast/off-...

These requirements are designed to get rid of men who will likely refuse to follow unconstitutional and illegal orders--older officers, black officers, etc. Men who would serve as whistleblowers to protect the American populace.

I am so perennially impressed by artists. You have just honed the shit out of so many skills. And, I mean, I know that's true of most people, but I can just straight-up SEE yours in action.

It's weird for me to see people talking about not buying from Amazon... I dumped that place a decade ago and forget how deeply it's claws are sunk into some. It's bad for everyone and it has been for a long time. I get that many of you have formed a bad habit with them but you CAN quit. You should.

On the day that commences my 50th year on this planet (and the 40th of playing RPGs), I start my list of my favourite 101 RPGs that I've played. It's in order. So we begin with my least favourite RPG of all time. Drumroll...

Trying to buy as little as possible from Amazon is a fun new game. I really enjoy it. You work hard for your money. Quislings and toadies don't deserve it.

Open today until 8pm but not again until Friday!

Sunday, October 19th, Sara Phoebe Miller will be signing her awesome, first, very Long Island, graphic novel! From now until then, all copies of You Belong Here are 25% off!

🚨This isn’t gridlock. This isn’t compromise failing. This is Trump and Republicans choosing to hurt Americans. #ThisIsTrumpsShutdown

the @shortboxcomicsfair.bsky.social is only 2 days away now! Im so thrilled that "Despite, despite, despite" will soon be available. I poured so much heart into it and i hope it'll be a nice comfort to all when you need it. 💗 🥞 (This is the fourth and last preview page!)
