So apparently it's #NationalComicBookDay ? I'm going to take that as an excuse to share 6 of my fav comics I've read that came out this year. I should also just clarify that I don't read everything and this is a small sample size of the market.

It’s so funny to me that I wrote an article detailing how Batman’s interpersonal relationships are his biggest strength in the absolute universe two issues before all of that comes crashing down lmao.

This is insane—a school is paying to put its students under AI surveillance, empowering a glitchy system to delete schoolwork, expose student journalists’ sources, and out queer students to their parents

he still has a job. how many people have been fired for saying much milder things about a right-wing figure?

King in Black would be too excessive if it wasn't the culmination of 40+ issues of one of the best Marvel runs of the decade. It's breaking all the toys but in a way that feels earned.

Opened Twitter for the first time in forever and jesus christ.

So, this is a mandatory question on the developmental questionnaire we are required to fill out for NYC schools; and I am seething.

ive said this before but even well-intentioned cis people see transition as a luxury that is painful to revoke the rights for but not existential. i bet these hospitals would file lawsuits about this if it was about literally any other evidence-supported medical procedure

Wrote a review for @comicsbulletin.bsky.social on Closer, a one shot by Gillen and Lieber that comes out this Wednesday. Make sure to listen to “Close To You” by the Carpenters before picking it up though! Trust me, it adds a lot. comicsbulletin.com/closer-1-rev...

The difference between the text of the post and the headline of the article below it is staggering

Hank McCoy circa New X-Men

My roommate’s shy cat finally let me pick him up and hold him like a baby. Growth is possible!

I had the pleasure to go to an author event she did a few months back in Bushwick. She’s an amazing writer and so correct on this. Her author event actually inspired me to do the zine I recently made.

I promise the article isn’t negative! I love this series and it’s a jumping off point question.

✨ Parallels ✨

Absolute Batman’s glorious excesses would feel really dumb if I it wasn’t so deftly written and drawn every month.

“Giving it all” is not “go uncritically support Dems like Newsome” - the guy throwing people like me, a trans person, under the bus. Giving it all is fighting fascists, building coalitions across lines of difference, and building up community through supporting each other in spite of the state.

In addition to being just gross on every level, this is also so… desperate?? Like we’re a tiny nudge away from “actually they had pre-existing starvation”

My new zine, A Pork Induced Wound, A Date, and T4T Fist Fucking, is avaliable for free on my linktree, please give it a read if you love horrible dates and or stories of transness! linktr.ee/alfieerin

I don’t know lord of the rings if I’m being frank. But this is giving such Obi Wan show vibes from what people are saying lol.

I think the use of chatbots for stuff like this is intended to train people to use it to avoid everything that’s painful or hard. It can write the obituary, the breakup text, the complaint letter. It’s meant to separate humans from their difficult feelings. Seems bad.

For an extra 10 cents to your fare next year you'll get to see a dead body on your commute!

The Deadpool/Batman covers have been insane, and this Esad Ribić one might be the best one featuring the actual characters in the title yet. That dude is so damn good. He made a feast out of "Batman and Deadpool jumping."

Absolute Batman is regularly one of my favorite titles of any given week. It's so emotionally intelligent and I love that I got to speak to that a little here. Thanks to Comics Bulletin for hosting this piece I did! I'm hoping to do more stuff for them in the future!

I could choose so many, it’s hard to narrow it down to just four. So here are the ones that come to me off the top of my head.

Can a predator boy love a robot human girl? Personally I ship it.

Mayo Pete Buttigieg out here ceding ground to transphobes over sports. Also, for good measure, saying Mamdani’s primary win was because of strategy more than beliefs. Sorry, people who like & are willing to vote for empty vessels like that are the grease that helps fascism move.

The way he says "I will step on them" is really important to me

Dave Cockrum was a god damn genius at coming up with designs that weren't just sexy as hell and instantly iconic but also imminently replicable by any artist who could draw the Marvel house style. A man who knew that when it comes to cape comics, the brand is part of the art.

Some teenagers in a car shot me in the side with a pellet gun 🙃 I’m fine just kinda annoyed

NY Times showing how to both sides the secret police abduction squads story

Hey guys, so remember how I wrote about the four stages of how P25 and Republicans want to enact anti-trans censorship? This signals that we have FULLY entered Stage Two: We lose the trans internet. Stage One is over - they've already gotten there. Please pay attention to this now.

Btw I’d love to pitch to some website about some comics coverage stuff. I’m doubtful I’ll hear anything but if anybody knows of outlets that are looking for writers plz lmk!!!

A comic book kickstarter? On my timeline? It’s more likely than you might think www.kickstarter.com/projects/190...

this is getting next to no media attention and it’s horrifying. transphobes weren’t going to stop at bathrooms, no hormones for minors, they are going to keep pushing until it’s entirely illegal and no one is standing up for us other than trans people

I have been thanked in many, many Marvel movies and now Superman. Haven't seen a single cent from any display of gratitude yet.

Marvel Cover of the Day If you see this, post a Marvel Cover you love. (Great cover to a great comic)

It’s somewhat startling that Moore can write something that feels this deeply American It feels like a bent version of something I’d read from Junot Díaz. Not something he would write but something with a similar voice. (From Watchmen #1)

I know the bar is extremely low, but I'm so happy that I finally live in a country where I'm allowed to hold a Palestine flag. Is grá liom Éire.

Why did I draw this?

Hey y'all, I'm finishing up with prepping the TPB for The Relentless Lark for print, so now I need to gauge interest in it before I decide on a pre-order campaign through my web storefront or via Kickstarter. If you're interested in the TPB, respond to this form: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

system designed to impose maximum violence on trans women and girls works as intended

No idea what’s going on with dropout but I’m excited

one time my friend told me she was in a tf2 server and two ppl were arguing and all of the sudden a guy named The Bug (pfp was a Snark from half life 1) just said in a super deep voice "The Bug." and the two guys went completely silent.

Who up stroking they sword while lamenting social realities

@denizcamp.bsky.social and @ericxyz.bsky.social ‘s Assorted Crisis Events #2 is my favorite comic of the year. It's so deeply sickening but in a way that's deeply impactful and poignant. Such a layered and technically skilled comic that feels extremely important in this moment.

I really need to get back to work on this lmao, I have too many minor writing projects atm.
