It’s a new Comic Tropes! Let’s dig into the history and influence of a master artist - Michael Golden! youtu.be/2SH5GdCumyQ?...

They told us it was Earth X from the very first image. Peacemaker’s first two dance moves as the show starts forms a swastika.

BELA

I’m almost done editing the new Comic Tropes. I’m sorry it’s slow going. My wife got laid off and I have to work more hours at my job to pay my bills so YouTube is gonna be slower. I’ll do my best to cut out stuff line watching tv and going to movies so I can keep making videos.

I’ve watched the latest Manben twice. It’s a masterclass for anyone into comics storytelling. Urasawa Naoki interviews Otomo Katauhiro about the storytelling choices in his manga Domu. I learned a lot and love this. youtu.be/_5w7_IA0QZA?...

It was such a pleasure appearing on @comictropes.bsky.social livestream last night. We chatted about Conan, Robert E. Howard, and more for about half an hour. Check it out: www.youtube.com/live/iQXMze9...

A 20 minute Batman sketch for Batman Day during my lunch break. What’s your favorite interpretation of Batman, visually? Jim Aparo is my favorite but I love the redesign by Jorge Jimenez last week!

I got the cover I wanted. Which one did you pick up?

The 1977 Spider-Man tv movie! @JimMahfood and I take a close look at this charming but odd take on Spidey with the assistance of editor @jamiewoodedits. It’s been over a week and I still hear that 70s theme in my head… youtu.be/pZTyPfOiJpU?...

In 15 minutes I’ll go live with the news of the week and reviews of new comics. Some cool stuff like the indie book Spiraland and the new Young Magazine manga (over 1,000 pages and FREE!). Plus my wife is offering up 2 paintings. www.youtube.com/live/uBbK2Wm...

The real stuff!

Ok. So I am trying out auction for the first time at @raremarq to see how it goes. This piece will go live tomorrow, 9/12/2025, at 9:00 am PST. www.raremarq.com/u/ejsu28 11x14 140 lbs. Watercolor Paper #art #original #hawkgirl #DCComics #watercolor #auction

My big ol’ head is talking again!

I had a great conversation with @robertkirkman.bsky.social where he shared his passion and plans for Transformers, Skinbreaker with David Finch, and Invincible stuff. Join us, won’t you? youtu.be/WeUlEjMkneI?...

From Andor but what a keen observation: “The pace of oppression outstrips our ability to understand it. And that is the real trick of the Imperial thought machine. It's easier to hide behind 40 atrocities than a single incident."

Kurt’s Comic Reviews has been doing some cool stuff like visiting every comic shop in a state. He invited me on to talk about comics and YouTube. youtu.be/_5yQCObrNfA?...

“And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all.” Roger Corman’s Edgar Allan Poe’s THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH starring Vincent Price.

The alternate universe in Peacemaker is SO evil. Damn, when Peacemaker realizes what’s missing, it’s gonna devastate him.

There’s a small chance I’ll be at Rose City Comic Con tomorrow. Trying to see about a beyond last minute pro badge.

I’ll definitely discuss the ai slopper getting removed from DragonCon on the show in just under an hour.

Witnessing the AI artist get kicked out of the DragonCon artist alley was satisfying.

Aside from news and drawing, tonight’s show has reviews of Absolute Wonder Woman, Beneath the Trees, Immortal Batman and more! www.youtube.com/live/7Y1zYIR...

ONLY TWELVE HOURS LEFT!!!

Kagurabachi is becoming a popular manga very quickly. Not even adapted to anime yet and already getting referenced over here - Dan Mora’s Batman cover is a nice homage to the first tankobon volume.

What are the current or upcoming comic crowdfunding campaigns you’re most excited for?

Revisiting X-Men: Age of Apocalypse. An exclusive video for my Patreon members or you can buy exclusives individually. www.patreon.com/posts/exclus...

It's kind of funny that I would not have known T.E.S.T. Kitchen was getting a print version if I didn't watch @comictropes.bsky.social weekly live podcast this Monday. I guess it's why I try to tune in every week. 😆 bleedingcool.com/comics/get-r... #Comic #Marvel #TESTKitchen #AnnaAmeyama

Check out my news and reviews show, with helpful chapters to jump to what you care about most: www.youtube.com/live/Y3kKIOQ...

YouTube is using AI to upscale videos without telling us. This is a fascinating discovery! youtu.be/86nhP8tvbLY?...

ONLY FIVE DAYS LEFT!

News on Archie, Naoki Urasawa, and more tonight at 5. Reviews of Absolute Batman, Escape by Remender and Acuña, and Drome by Lonergan. www.youtube.com/live/Y3kKIOQ...

It will not be easy to pick my book of the week on The Weekly Spinner Rack tonight. Some truly fantastic books came out. Live at 5 pacific on Comic Tropes After Dark!

I spent much of the past couple days going through Fox Feature Syndicate's comic book lineup from 1939 to 1942 and they had some doozies. One of their characters was Stardust the Super Wizard and hoo boy. Stardust was created by Fletcher Hanks and @comictropes.bsky.social did a video about him.

Really old art from when I invented fake GI Joe toys and commercial jingles for them on @tablecatgames.com’s old blog. Cobra Stilts! Cobra Stilts! When the Commander stomps in, GI Joe wilts!

What up, Chat? A new episode? Sure, why not? How about an amusing, forgotten Golden Age character? youtu.be/xQhHuIWcnRY?...

I read Drome by Jesse Lonergan during my lunch breaks this week. Absolutely incredible epic about the battle between order and chaos. Utilizes the comic book medium to its potential. Highly recommended. A book of the year contender.

My Patrons at $2 and up get to vote for their exclusive episode this month and the theme is 90s Marvel events. Acts of Vengeance? Age of Apocalypse? Inferno? Infinity Gauntlet? Get your vote in at www.patreon.com/ComicTropes

Some amazing comics to discuss tonight as well as the latest comics news. See you tonight? www.youtube.com/live/XTIdk0n...

It looks so good!

I pride myself on my professionalism in comics. I don't talk shit about books I don't enjoy. I am happy when folks get gigs even if I wish I landed them. So when I say the transphobic bullshit in the new BLOODSHOT #1 comic is disgusting and should have never made it to print. Shameful shit.

In 2015 this single page won the Nobel prize for literature. Congratulations, Jim Mahfood

For no reason other than fun, Jim Mahfood and I do a deep dive on the original Friday the 13th. Edits by Jamie Wood. How does it hold up? youtu.be/JzICG5bbtHk?...

Within an interview to promote his Flesk art book campaign (1 day left), @danielwarrenart.bsky.social and I figured out how to distill his comics to one page! Links to book and interview below.
