It is a testament to the human spirit that so many artists manage to create in *spite* of the conditions that oppress them, But that doesn't make the oppression the thing that helped. When I hear that Frida Kahlo created in spite of chronic pain, I wonder how much more she'd have made without it.

Today is the birthday of my favorite Superman artist, Curt Swan (Feb. 17, 1920-June 17, 1996).

while I am happy to see Archie putting more effort into their trade program, I gotta quibble with the use of the adjective “Classic” here to describe stories less than fifteen years old. I see “Classic,” you’re getting my hopes up for a Complete Dan DeCarlo series, or some nice Golden Age books. 😔

BRO, WHAT THE FUCK IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?!

Happy Valentine's Day

Saw people assuming Ultimate X-Men ending how it did meant either the ambiguously defined “Marvel editorial” messed something up, or there’s something more on the way. Was reminded that online comic book fandom is boring.

1. it's not? 2. what's "true" in a very obvious sense is that they're going to try their best to MAKE it true and still replace every job they can with it despite it, again, not being true 3. it then follows that the way to "think seriously" about it is to be as skeptical & hostile to it as possible

sigh

No new art!!!! Not allowed!!!! He Man with notorious sex pest Jared Leto!!! The Mummy 4 coming in 2028!!!! You will die with the taste of recycled gray sludge in your mouth and you will like it!!!!

so, folks - I realize I haven’t actually discussed the publication of this book right here … I’m going to be honest, it snuck up on me. I’m … really busy! I plead busy. I’ll talk about it a bit since, you know, that’s what promotion is all about!

evangelicals are such a joke. 100 years of patting themselves on the back about how they're totally gonna recognize the antichrist when he shows up, now a LDS-alligned torture porn billionaire literally named MR BEAST is building a child financial enslavement app and they sleep

From the late Jesse Hamm. My personal mantra for the past decade.

Artist Matt Baker (Dec. 10, 1921 - Aug. 11, 1959). Active in the Golden Age, he is most remembered for his amazing covers & beautiful women. Tragically, he died of a heart attack at the young age of 37. #BlackHistoryMonth

"I need AI to make art, human art is only for the rich and privileged-"

What do you know, comic book reviews *can* still be great.

I had to do it. I had to block Schumer for my sanity.

ten years ago today no one clapped

i have a license to open carry bofa

AMAZING.

Incredibly, this is an actual photo New York Post used for the guy who attacked Ilhan Omar.

Sorry, but it really is just that simple. No kids in jail.

15 parts for a ThunderCats & SilverHawks crossover is wild. I know direct market comics is an aging demographic, but is there THAT much interest in this??? Especially with Declan Shalvey as a key architect of this whole thing.

While we’re calling to dismantle ICE, it’s a good time to re-assess our society’s relationship with prisons: • The US has almost 2 MILLION ppl incarcerated • We lead the world in both total prison population, and incarceration rates per capita • Our prisons have little rehabilitative effect

From learning storytelling fundamentals thru Spanish reprints to finding inspiration as a student of comics, Sal Buscema has always been a staple in my appreciation of the art form. Here are some of my favorites, a humble fraction of an immense career. The Silver Age curtains are drawing close. RIP

in 2024 i was always hearing "it sucks, but dems have to follow the polling" on immigration, which had them backing extreme far right wing bills on the border. now that there's been a huge shift to the left in polling, the response is "how about 1/100th of what you guys want". funny how that works.

There's apparently body cam footage of Alex's murder. Do people know this? This lets you know that a demand for body cams is USELESS and in fact just a way to give more money to the killers.

I was very lucky to draw a story and be INKED by Sal! I got to call him and gush at him for a bit. My favorite comment was him saying he only ever wanted to ink, "but Stan kept bugging me to pencil issues"

Mary Jane Watson

RIP to one of the best to ever do it in the superhero action space. Whether he was inking his own pencils during his Spectacular Spider-Man prime, or given moody inks by Bill Sienkiewicz, or himself inking over Ron Frenz pencils… if Sal worked on it, it was a dynamic, stunning page.

One of the greatest to ever do it. RIP.

adios you cunt

Sal Buscema turns 90 today. There's hardly a Marvel character Sal hasn't left his mark on, from Cap to the Hulk, Avengers to Thor. Working with Sal for two years on Spectacular Spider-Man remains a highlight of my career. And the best part? He's not just a great artist, he's a truly good guy.

Blue Jam. 💙

had fun on this commission. Just got around to posting it but a mimicked cover of Milestone’s Static was the order of the day! If you’d love a commission from me, contact my commission agent Mark Hay at www.splashpageart.com and we’ll get you the one of a kind piece you deserve. :)

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

Ooh, I like Haining’s art a lot. Did good work on Spirit World and some Poison Ivy issues. Interested in this one for sure.

abolish ice.

Nation's largest nurses union repeats calls for ICE abolition, pledges to do "everything in our power to vote out any elected official who supports funding for this all-out assault on the health, safety, and civil rights of our people."

(very) busy woman

To get caught using AI to write a news announcement for a Vampirella book is wild. Like clearly it’s been used before with that “clickbait headline” bit.

the president wont see your posts making fun of how he's looking these days but your friends whose skin seems to be sloughing off in wet discolored chunks as the psychic weight of their craven wretchedness becomes manifest will

I don’t think the Oscars have ever been a net positive to a conversation about a movie for me. Hopefully Sinners doing so well both commercially and critically bodes well for Ryan Coogler’s post Black Panther 3 career, though! And, love my girlies in KPop Demon Hunters.
