I just read Out of Alcatraz by @ifyoucantwell.bsky.social & @mrtylercrook.bsky.social published by @oni-press.bsky.social and it is a great thriller that constantly ramps up the suspense while simultaneously telling a very poignant, human romance. It’s breathtaking how much happens in 5 chapters!

"Once again tells a masterful story and keeps the reader wanting more... SPEED RACER #5 is a raucous, action-packed joyride, with some of the best racing scenes in not just the series but the industry as a whole." Thank you to @fanlightzone.bsky.social for this wonderful review!

Here's yet another paper using eye tracking on comics, here recording lots of participants while reading a page from Watchmen. I've seen more eye tracking studies of comics this year than almost the last 5 to 10 years combined, so hopefully this trend continues www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Up now on @literaryhub.bsky.social : talking Marvel with @paulcornell.bsky.social @chrisryall.bsky.social ! @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social lithub.com/the-magic-of...

Check out these curated resources from educators showcasing the Great Immigrants, Great Americans comic. The book is also linked with open access on this site. @ncte.org @jimlee.bsky.social @carnegiecorp.bsky.social www.readwritethink.org/teaching-com...

Here's an interesting new study on comics that uses eye tracking to ask how much people use their peripheral vision while reading comics using a technique from reading studies with a "perceptual window" that revealed panels when people moved their eyes to them onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Did a roundtable workshop at the @ncte.org conference where I presented this lesson on making a mini comic as a simple and disarming way to get students into storytelling and writing, along with a few suggested prompts. Link in bio! Download a print-quality PDF for use in your classrooms. #ncte25

I love @georgeoconnor.bsky.social’s work and I’m fond of Sterg, too!

I just read Pushing Buttons, a graphic novel by Danish cartoonist Ursula Blix. I loved the artwork and how the story slowly shed light on Margit’s soul-sucking work and relationship with her supervisor/best friend Chloe. I will definitely be looking for more work from Blix and Black Panel Press.

Had a great time chatting with Jason DeHart over at @wordsimagesworlds.bsky.social from my very sunny patio! Check out the interview here 👉 youtu.be/kzTRZtAWnrQ?...

From fandom for Star Wars, Bowie, and @jamesgunn.bsky.social to work on Madman and DC titles, @allredmd.bsky.social talks about creativity and collaboration. m.youtube.com/watch?v=sgDD...

Next up in my great graphic novel catch-up: the first volume of @jefflemire171.bsky.social’s Minor Arcana. It’s features many of the best aspects of his work: strong characters, slow burn reveals, family secrets, and just the right amount of supernatural surprises. So good and compelling!

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

My great graphic novel catch-up continues with Sunshine by @studiojjk.bsky.social. It’s a book that can make you smile and also shed a tear, showing people with medical conditions that many would typically shy away from. It’s a hopeful, affirming read.

These 6 books can help inspire your students to write stories, letters, and other texts of their own! 📘 https://edut.to/4mDDBqq #ElementaryTeacher #literacy #EduSky
