We dig in to what THE BONE TEMPLE has to say about being forced to compromise with devil in a post-pandemic, Trumpian world (with special guests @phillipcreates.bsky.social, @claireissa.bsky.social & @xnangeles.bsky.social). #FanbasePress #PodernFamily #28YearsLater #TheBoneTemple #BuyInOrBeFucked

We’ve heard this argument so many times. The only real difference now is AI. People hate the pivot to video but I’ll argue, what killed words were SEO content farms and the inability to read 10,000 word essays. Wholeheartedly admitting I’m the asshole who’d write those.

For this one, I got to talking about anime with the Line Webtoon creator and Lead singer of the Deathmetal band Diabla... Casey Cruz. If you're an indie creator as well. We're opening up chances to talk with us about projects and promote your thing. Just lmk. open.substack.com/pub/samidemo...

Dropout really seems to be the future of what streaming platforms at scale can be. Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared fits perfect on there.

see that's that bullshit a tic is involuntary, but BAFTA not saying anything to Delroy Lindo and Michael B. Jordan afterwards is a choice

As someone whose living is very dependent on vending at shows selling comics… WTF is this weather.

🦸‍♀️ Comics creators are stepping up. Superheroes for Minnesota launches a charity auction featuring donations from Bill Sienkiewicz, Fabian Nicieza, X-Men ’97 talent, and more to support immigrant communities impacted by ICE raids. Bidding opens Feb 20:

I just can't get enough of that Depeche Mode into Baby Shark. www.tiktok.com/@mr.wiredup/...

Also… if you can flip Texas in even the slightest. Huge blow. Same goes with California.

I’ve been following this and I think you should too.

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses? Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards My new column on the camps www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

This book is great! I’m excited to attend.

Like indie comics? We certainly do and we could use your help spreading the word about them. I know it's a broken record but subscribing to the YouTube channel is tremendously helpful as we continue to develop it. 🙏 www.youtube.com/@CryptidCrea...

Meeting the devil last night after watching The Devil and Daisy Dirt! I'll be working with the creative team to bring the folk horror musical into a comic book along with @xnangeles.bsky.social That's me, the devil and @jackmandrakeart.bsky.social I've started some sketches, more later.

We tend to think of successes as these big moments. They aren’t. Success is fighting through the inertia and putting in the work every day. Success is showing up. Celebrate that and you will be happier.

Check out the concepts and art by @tmandrake.bsky.social for The Devil and Daisy Dirt. More later. We… are absolutely working together on adapting this NJ play into a comic book. Expect a ton of stuff soon.

In 2023 when I was looking for where I was gonna land next, I pitched to Kotaku about the inevitable outcome of Games as a Service and what AI and platforms over consoles would lead and damn… Was right about all of it. That’s a lotta change and a lotta AI incoming.

Out next week!!!

HUGE NEWS! Announcing my first published DC Comics cover, for Supergirl #13! 🥹🥹🥹 I am so, SO delighted to have been able to do a cover for one of my favorite books on the stands right now - and one made by my friends, to boot! I hope you all love it and pick it up in May! ☺️

Putting this out into the wild: I want a job in comics where I’m on the other side of things. I want to produce books as an art director or something to that capacity. I will try again to break in to do this, but for now I’m voicing it in a public forum. My LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/chandrafree

With Resident Evil Requiem soon on the way, I did a listicle for the DeMonster about the history of Resident Evil and how it changed gaming for good. Here's five Ways Resident Evil’s Legacy wasn’t just about the Zombies… substack.com/@christianan...

This. Again service models aren’t profitable long term as quality inevitably drops despite tech industry going all-in about it.

Samurai used to write death poems before duels and I think this is a tradition we should adopt. You want to fight me, bro? First write a technically proficient poem about the fragility of an honorable life then catch me in the Chili's parking lot.

New YouTube 💧 @jimmygaspero.bsky.social's recently caught up with @heatherantos.bsky.social on the show for a chat. Heather breaks down the realities of breaking into comics, developing your creative voice, and writing stories that truly raise the stakes. Not to be missed. youtu.be/qb5oGZutjjA?...

The End of the world will come from a storyteller.

Here's the game I was utterly obsessed with yesterday. The short version is, Scarlet Hollow is already amazing, and Black Tabby Games continues to develop unforgettable narrative adventures. Check it out! www.heypoorplayer.com/2026/02/17/s...

Spent some time with Diego @comicsbeat.bsky.social talking HEAVY! Give it a read!

Cuts to overseas aid by the UK are set to go further and faster than those made by the Trump administration in the US, as Sir Keir Starmer’s government wrestles with funding pressures www.ft.com/content/ad52...

Maybe the truth is nothing we do matters and people will continue to move on to find comfort in the next thing until one day… It’s over and everything ends. And that was the lifetime.

FUNeral Home staff on site for the big debut at fan expo Vancouver, me + @fellhound.bsky.social at table p37, come pay your respects.

Highlighting because this form of protest actually will work. Discord is actually in a very bad place financially speaking and needs venture capital to grow at this point. Any sort of protest like this… would make a difference. Assuming they don’t fully AI the admin process.

I spent Valentine’s Day being sick and doing my taxes. Then business inventory. Wish I had something more positive to say other than… I’m over it.

There is no way this is a coincidence. I worked with David at @npr.org, and NotebookLM sounds *precisely* like him, including his conversational cadence.

Thank you for including Magni the Mighty’s campaign in your crowdfunding Friday, @fanbasepress.bsky.social @barbrajdillon.bsky.social !

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies. For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

Oh, hey! That's us! We wrote a piece for The Beat about our #InTheStacks at @thirdeyecomics.bsky.social video series.

idk, if I was an actor or a filmmaker or some kind of "artist" who respected my "work" I might chafe against "we'll fix it in post" quickly becoming "we'll have an LLM steal it in post"

Dude regularly works for Disney, DreamWorks, Netflix and CN so speculate away. But this sucks no matter which studio is doing it, and gross to think some major movie this year is running with a plagiarized image from ChatGPT.

Wrote a review of The Beauty on FX. I highly recommend the comic by @ignitionpress.bsky.social www.thedemonster.com/p/fxs-the-be...
