A new episode of the Absolute Ultimate Escapist Comics Podcast is up! This time we talk almost exclusively new monthlies, since Perl is busy testing a game! Give me and @plaguingpossum.bsky.social a listen! open.spotify.com/episode/28nW...

It's crazy to read Grant Morrison nailing the tech billionaire rhetoric and jargon so early in its evolution. Elon Musk would absolutely harvest mutant organs to implant into himself all the while spouting transphobic insanity if he was in an X-Men comic

Thanks for the nice review, I’m glad someone is following my million IG stories.

Capes comics i'm reading and really enjoying right now, a slowly developing thread: 1. Fantastic Four Marvel's first family is back! And they're thrust into a real damn FF adventure story. @ryannorth.ca & @humbertoramos.bsky.social did a little bait-and-switch on the first page with a fight scene

Really crazy little piece of trivia i learned as a comics retailer today while attempting to price a bunch of erotica, a prolific erotica illustrator by the name of Enrique Villagran was also an artist on a bunch of Punisher Comics, and Robin comics!

I'm halfway through reading the Monstress compendium by Marjorie Liu and @sanatakeda.bsky.social for @fanbasepress.bsky.social and from a sheer reading perspective it's one of the funnest, but also hardest assignments I've had. I'm so impressed by how long a fantasy comic this dense is. Bravo!

Read the @comicsjournal.bsky.social review from @briannicholson.bsky.social of Assorted Crisis Events. I'm probably going to keep ranting about it too, but you should read Brian's review. He goes into the context of the genre in a really interesting way. www.tcj.com/reviews/asso...

Assorted Crisis Events by @denizcamp.bsky.social @ericzawadzki.bsky.social Jordie Bellaire, and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou is the best thing @imagecomics.com is putting out right now, hands down. You could take just ONE aspect of this book alone and it would take the top spot.

Also in other reading news, @denizcamp.bsky.social somehow snuck Michel Foucault's 'Discipline and Punish' as well as a nonbinary anticolonial indigenous Hawkeye into a friggin Avengers(Ultimates Comic) and that STILL isn't the coolest thing they're writing just for the big two!

I am once again taking to this app to scream the praises of another Lee Lai x @fantagraphics.bsky.social book, this time, her second novel "Cannon," which shows off Lee's incredible character writing. Stone Fruit's character work was obviously beautiful, but the real strength of that work was formal

Okay so I started reading DC's Dark Knights Metal in lieu of finishing up some indie reviews for TCJ(sorry Sally). I've been so stressed with moving and everything I decided I needed some good mindless fun, and oh nelly, it is immediately that! Page three of issue 1

In other "stuff I'm reading right now," I just finished the first trade of @peachmomoko.bsky.social Ultimate X-Men. I've been enjoying a lot of the new Ultimate line, but Peach's is definitely the most original of them all(the rest are just really well-written capes comics).

I sat down today and read this incredible book from Lee Lai and @fantagraphics.bsky.social occasionally I read a book that depicts the deep difficulties of queerness in such an unflinching manner that I find myself having to put it down ever few minutes and take a deep breath.

it's not FOR us

Everyone go check out my Fanbase Press review of one of my children’s comic favs!!
