Tully and I hit up the Midtown Outlet in Astoria and while they didn’t give comics away (the non-outlet Midtowns do) their dollar bins still felt like a steal!

Comics Giveaway Day!!! It’s here! Made my first stop at Silver Age Comics in Astoria! Good crowd and great service as always!

Marvel sets up Amazing Spider-Man #1000 with a shocking new Parker family twist this Saturday, when you get to enjoy free comics. We spoke with writer Joe Kelly and editor @nicklowe.bsky.social about this weekend's free special. Read on: www.thepopverse.com/comics-amazi...

Another of our fun roundtables is up! Loved this event!!!

Happy New Comic Book Day! #NCBD

Thank you, Gerry Conway. Your work was vivid and surprising and your characters always felt real. Loved it as a fan, treasured it as an editor. That we got to be friends still feels surreal. Rest in peace, you gem of a human.

This September's ASM #36 is LGY #1000 and we're pulling out all the stops starting with @thatjoekelly.bsky.social and @pepelarraz.bsky.social doing an AMAZING story in it. What's even crazier? #37 (part 2 of the story) may be even better. It's one of the best scripts I've ever read.

And I can't let @jorgejimenezart.bsky.social have ALL the fun!

BOOK OF THE WEEK! SPIDER-MAN/SUPERMAN!!! I only worked on the main story but the whole thing is awesome. So proud of the story that @bradmeltzer.com @pepelarraz.bsky.social Matt Wilson @joecaramagna.bsky.social did!!! Always special to make historic comics. Cover colors by @voxnihili242.bsky.social

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #27! DEATH SPIRAL CONCLUSION! This issue does not come to play. There are moments here that will resonate for a looooooong time! @thatjoekelly.bsky.social Ed McGuinness @Carlos Gomez @menyz.bsky.social Erick Arciniega @joecaramagna.bsky.social !

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: SPIDER-VERSITY #1! @jordanmorris.bsky.social @thatjoekelly.bsky.social Pere Perez! Lee Duhig! Joe Sabino! So much action! So much character! And big stuff for ASM moving forward!

HAPPY NEW COMIC BOOK DAY! HUGE ONE!!! One of the biggest Spidey days EVER!!!! #NCBD

we all know I have no life, so:

An artist on an upcoming book asked for some past Stuart Immonen art to study and I am lucky enough to have worked with him a lot and shared. One file I found was just labeled "StuartisBest" in the ASM #29 folder. A montage I made of his pages. SO MUCH TO LOVE!

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

Here’s me gabbing about the Mario movie on Pop Culture Happy Hour! www.npr.org/2026/04/02/n...

Most Spider-man fans have wondered about this one at some point, so here's the answer. Why DOES the Green Goblin throw pumpkins? If he held onto them, he'd blow himself up.

You’ve read Death Spiral part 7 (ASM #26)… now ask YOUR questions 👀 Venom Unleashed is taking fan Qs for @thatjoekelly.bsky.social, @charlessoule.bsky.social, Al Ewing, @cracksh0t.bsky.social, & @nicklowe.bsky.social ahead of part 8 🔥 #Spiderman, #Venom, #Carnage ...oh my! 🕷️ Get them in now:

BOOK OF THE WEEK! AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #26! HUGE issue. Not only is it climactic "Death Spiral" but there is a big moment you will not want to miss that will reverberate!!! @thatjoekelly.bsky.social Francesco Manna! Ed McGuinness! Mark Farmer! @menyz.bsky.social @joecaramagna.bsky.social

HAPPY NEW COMIC BOOK DAY! #NCBD It's a biggie!

5 minutes into this film and I'm not feeling it. It's just some no-hoper loser boxer in Philadelphia. It's a Rocky start.

Also new this week, we had a roundtable on The Official Marvel Podcast! @thatjoekelly.bsky.social @charlessoule.bsky.social @alewingpromotes.bsky.social and I talk "Death Spiral"! megaphone.link/ESP4049815937

They did WHAT in VENOM #256?!?!

HAPPY NEW COMIC BOOK DAY! #NCBD

Also, as comics in Japan are "manga", in China are "manhua" and in Korea are "manhwa." I wish instead of "fumetti" Italian comics were "magna". I think on this often when thinking about @joecaramagna.bsky.social

BOOK OF THE WEEK: AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #25! "Death Spiral"! Ed McGuinness goes HAM on action & @thatjoekelly.bsky.social brings the emotion AND sets up SPIDER-VERSITY (with Pere Perez) AND some of the biggest Spider-Moments of 2026! Cliff Rathburn @menyz.bsky.social @joecaramagna.bsky.social

MARVEL KNIGHTS: PUNISHER #4 is out today concluding the story. This was a joy to work on with @jimmypalmiotti.bsky.social @urbanbarbarian.bsky.social @comicraft1992.bsky.social @hellomuller.bsky.social . These creators are wild people and did an awesome book.

HAPPY NEW COMIC BOOK DAY! And it's a really special one! #NCBD
