“Ricky Lawless is reckless, but he has a puppy-dog loyalty to certain people, weirdly including his father, who is the cause of most of Ricky’s damage.” My thoughts on Brubaker and Phillips’ Criminal: Five Gears in Reverse. www.fromcovertocover.com/ed-brubaker-...

“Phillips’ artwork captures a pastoral calmness not often seen in zombie stories. But Trombal and Phillips' work also shows cracks in this reality, these flashes of horror that keep you on unsteady ground as you try to figure out just what Jack’s story is.” www.fromcovertocover.com/everything-d...

I think often about how back in the 90s Barkley proclaimed “I’m not a role model“ and then he goes and speaks the truth like this.

Tremendous

ICYMI, I started a new writing/blogging/newsletter project about comics -->

That’s Glory. Maxim Glory.

I’m currently reading this Complete edition that snuck out last year and once again reminded just how humane Messner-Loebs’ writing is.

The best comic that hardly anyone seems to remember?

good luck to all the social media managers

FINAL NINE HOURS! Monthly. Comics. Zine. delivered to your 📬 www.kickstarter.com/projects/tif...

Brutal Dark #3 is one of those books that I was positive on when I started writing this piece and less so by the end of it. It’s solid storytelling but lacking any kind of core. There’s hints of something there but it feels like time may be running out. www.fromcovertocover.com/brutal-dark-...

If you want to do something to prevent the next Newsarama from dying in a very non-superhero comic death, put you (or your company)'s money into supporting comics journalism. I have some recs:

If this latest round of Marvel/DC books is all they’re going to do with the team-up concept, just end it now. I don’t need Brad Metzler or Mark Waid to do a compare/contrast story about these characters. I want something epic, like the X-Men/Teen Titans crossover.

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, DC, Marvel, Disney, Pixar, Spielberg, Cameron, Wachowskis, or Ghibli.

Quite possibly the coolest dude in American film history

Without stating your age, post your favorite film released the year you turned 18.

The Ascension, by Paolo Veronese, 1585, 📸 by @gwephoto

Asking folks to say Trump is not Jesus ought not to be asking that much. Jeez.

Trump keeps doing Antichrist shit. We literally have a Mr. Beast. Feel like Elon fits most of the bill for a False Prophet. I could make so much money if there was an audience for confrontational end times prophecy.

So this past week, my mom discovered Battle Beyond the Stars and was trying to explain the whole movie to me like it wasn’t a foundational movie of my life.

Jesse Lonergan’s love of the comic page shows up on every page of Faster. You can get lost in so many pages of this short comic just trying to unpack what @jesselonergan.bsky.social is doing. www.fromcovertocover.com/review-jesse...

Tomorrow on the site.

I think I may be the only person who liked this story.

Two weeks to remove him. Now.

Batman Dark Patterns was so much better than I thought it could be. Loved how Sherman was channeling both Jim Aparo and Marshall Rogers in this book.

time to break out a classic again, I think

An Easter message from the president which should really force the VP and the cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment.

This is a real social media post. The most powerful person in the world is out of his damn mind, and he's leading the U.S. to disaster. Vote against all Republicans. Reject compliant media. Join the resistance. The generations that come after you will thank you.

It’s been a good week. #LetterboxdFriday #lastfourwatched

Why you don't let an algorithm pick the photo to go with your news article...

So I guess I’m back on the Criterion bandwagon.

This was my biggest problem with Project Hail Mary— it had absolutely nothing to say. Was there any there there? Anything this movie was really trying to communicate? Not really. And that doesn’t have to be woke— just a connection. www.westernjournal.com/project-hail...

I am so so excited for you guys to see my take on ✨️ORION✨️ Fourth world fans RISE UP! 🌞

It's cool how we all just assume the same horrible thing when we see this headline now.

Wow, I thought Ernie Bushmiller was about to rip on an icon here.

Every month I look at the Image solicitations and wonder if we'll ever see Casanova again. Even though it's a compendium, I'm thrilled to see Casanova show up. And an American Flagg Omnibus as well???????

Trump: I’m going to put ICE in the airports, where they will target and arrest all the illegals, especially Somalis, because I hate the Democrats Headlines: Trump puts ICE officers in airports to ease long lines, provide relief for weary travelers

Incredibly funny that the president of the United States can do this and retain command of the American Armed Forces, but I said it about a literal Nazi and got fired from a job writing superhero comics.

Just a reminder that I did this. (Also, my former boss reminded me that the deal with those Death of Superman cards was that they "disappeared" off the distributor's loading dock.)

It took me six months and two radically different drafts, but here it is. I’m sure I’ll write a book on this one of these days…

Thinking a lot right now about these two comics.
