I'm confident in our nominations for the Lettering Category. It was a joy to get to read through so many exceptional books, as well as to spend hours discussing manga with @adityab.net. My deepest respect for Manga Letterers, some of the most skilled problem-solvers and clever designers in comics.

🚨ANNOUNCEMENT🚨 For close to a decade, Manga Mavericks has been dedicated to discussing the manga industry. Now, we’re turning the page…literally! Manga Mavericks is now proud to announce our new publishing division, Manga Mavericks Books!

Good news, I recently got a new job! However this means I'll have to put my lettering on pause for the next few months as I settle into a new routine. But I'll open again for new lettering projects from the end of July onwards. Thank you for understanding! 🫶 aileencudmore.carrd.co

1/2 Lots of talk about comics commentary of late so I'm going to echo something others have said. If you enjoy anything we publish at BF via a post here *please* repost it either directly or with a quote-post. Moving away from The Bad Place hit our traffic noticeably. www.brokenfrontier.com

Remembering this meme/edit I made like five years ago back when I started lettering more comics. Oddly enough, over the past years all the artists I have worked with are sensational on this department.

The pre-launch page for BUMP IN THE NIGHT is here! Follow to get notified when the campaign goes live! www.kickstarter.com/projects/pau...

Getting to letter a Godzilla one-shot is definitely one of my highlights for this year.

Thought Bubble stands with Trans people. We want to make it extremely clear that Thought Bubble is a safe, welcoming and supportive space for Trans people. Trans rights are human rights.

Celebrate National Pet Day with the fluffiest members of the Spy x Family, because sometimes the best partners have paws. (via #SpyXFamily, Vol. 9)

Back to lettering today after a few weeks off, including a visit to London to see the magnificent Kenshi Yonezu. Really hope he comes back again in another world tour! #米津玄師

Let me tell you some numbers to contextualize the news yesterday. Glacier Bay has worked with printers in the EU, China, and in the USA. Let's look at how the tariffs will impact printing in the EU with some specifics. Trump's tariffs apply a blanket 10%+20%=30% (on top of existing) to EU imports.

The Graphic Novels & Comics Round Table has released its reading list of Best Graphic Novels for Adults for 2024

Read the first volume of Ultra Heaven last night, finally brought to an English translation by Last Gasp. What is it? It namechecks Burroughs' Nova Express and then just goes and does it, pages warping under your eyes. File next to Jeff Noon in terms of formally fucked-up Druggy sci-fi about drugs.

It’s always kind of mind-blowing how many manga publishers, apps & websites are here at Comitia doing portfolio reviews with creators

The Combined Best Comics & Graphic Novels of 2024 is now up. I added over 4000 entries from 268 websites and hundreds of best/favourite comics/manga/graphic novels/web comics of 2024 lists from the internet to get which books were mentioned the most. Details at: jamiecoville.com/blog/blog/20...

Cancelling my financial support for @theguardian.com today. How incredibly shortsighted to not understand who makes up your readership. FYI Creatives:
