May have gone too far at the comics shop today, but I got a lot of dope stuff! Shoutout to @alexpaknadel.bsky.social because it was his Secret Wars What If…? that got my ass in the shop first thing in the morning!

How I pull up to the function:

This little mouse I saw says that I’ve selected the OCEANMAN ADVENTURES writers! What fun!

I’ve seen Supergirl twice now and I don’t understand why people hate this movie so much. It’s very fun and Kara is a really unique protagonist. Very strange discourse around this film.

Went through old photos and I’m still proud of my Ozymandias costume.

@tomhoskisson.bsky.social is going sicko mode on Oceanman art so far! Can’t even show you the other characters yet, but they’re all killers!

This guy was one of the 100 artists who worked with me on COMICS ARE DYING: THE COMIC. Very disappointing.

I’ve oftentimes wondered how I’m going to pass away and, while a very serious and morbid thought, I’ve decided that the best way to go is to be stabbed in the lower torso by my own goblin glider in a last ditch effort to destroy my long term nemesis.

Gender diverse folks, get over there and get submitting!

Resharing this job listing as I’ve noticed 99% of the applicants so far are male. I’m always a proponent of diverse creative teams, so if there are any women, enby, trans, and/or gender nonconforming writers who would possibly be interested, please reach out!

PAID COMICS WRITING GIGS - For the first time since COMICS ARE DYING: THE COMIC, comic book writer / editor Louis Southard is back curating a brand new anthology comic book special! The only thing that’s missing? YOU!!!

Joined by artist @tomhoskisson.bsky.social, this dynamic duo proudly present OCEANMAN ADVENTURES #1: a curated anthology collection of vastly different stories centered around the underwater superhero OCEANMAN and his sidekick MOLLUSK as they face their greatest foes in the ultimate adventure!

Pitched as a sillier Batman and Robin (or a serious Mermaidman and Barnacleboy), this comic seeks to celebrate and poke fun at the nearly 100 years of vigilante comics we all know and love! Simply put: let’s make the fun comics shit THE MAN won’t let us do!

Currently, we’re looking for ten (10) comic book writers and/or cartoonists to help us write our anthology tales. Under Southard’s editorial stewardship, you will help define individual and unique eras of OCEANMAN’s diverse career.

An artist will then be assigned to your story at a later time unless you will draw it yourself. Does this sound like the project for you? See the application process above and dive in! The water is fine! (NOTE: Open calls for artists will be at a TBD date. Thank you.)

Great opportunity for some writing work alongside the great Louis Southard that you should jump on! 😎

2026 Convention Circuit UPDATED! NEW YORK IS BACK ON THE MENU! While I’m hoping to get artist alley as well, I’ll happily take a pro’s pass. As always, I’m excited to chat comics, see old friends, and make some new friends, so get ready! If you’re a peer or an editor going, let’s set something up!

Nyeh-heh-heh!!!

Very kind video review by @phnxprodscomics.bsky.social of LAUGH RIOT #2 by myself and @fancygoblin.bsky.social! Go watch it on YouTube!

Absolutely devastated to announce that I really loved Jared Leto’s Skeletor.

Hooray! Looks like all backers for WITCHES OF OZ by @comicuno.bsky.social and @philfalcowrites.bsky.social will be receiving a copy of LAUGH RIOT #1! Exciting!

“I know how to pose for a photo. I’m a regular guy.” - It’s Day 1 of @mcmcomiccon.bsky.social London and I’m at Table N-18. Come say hey!

Time for immense profit.

As far as movies go, I can’t believe I’m looking at a world where a Masters of the Universe reboot and a film version of an internet creepypasta have me more pumped than a full on Star Wars film.

Hey comics friends! I'll be at London MCM all weekend at Table N-18 in Artist Alley selling my books and curios! Come say hey and give me a lot of money!

An artist has been hired! Thank you so much to everyone who applied and shared, and a very big fuck you to all of the AI-slop bots that flooded my inbox! Hope to share this comic with all of you in a future coming soon!

Much to do!
