Belated here but I highly recommend reading this roundtable with The Beat’s Bizarre Adventure. This column is a joy to write for because it’s maybe the only place you’ll read about Dick Fight Zisland and Tokyo Zombie alongside Asadora! and Akane-banashi

Okay gonna try to keep up with this everyday Choose 20 comics that have stayed with you or influenced you. One comic per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers Day 1

Yourself, but as a cartoon

The town I loved is slowly becoming unrecognizable. This is a punch in the face and a huge cultural loss to Athens. Not that anybody living in the "luxury student apartments" that the building will inevitably become will ever know or care...

Gutted to hear Bizarro Wuxtry is closing. My all time favorite comic book store and a cornerstone of the Athens, GA community. Not sure what’s happening downstairs to the equally Wuxtry Records but can’t imagine it’s much better.

Tickets to see Mastodon, Deafheaven, and Alcest in September are acquired. Could not be more excited.

still real proud of this little project I did with @nickdragotta.bsky.social. have you read Good Devils: Don't Play Fair With Evil? ask for it at your local comic shop or non-evil ebook seller! imagecomics.com/comics/relea...

I finally bought my first artist’s editions and had to get the Walt Simonson FF which contains the art for FF #352, maybe my all time favorite single issue. Not enough can be said about what a phenomenal talent Simonson is.

👁️🔮💜 BEYOND excited to announce, the SCORPIO VENUS RISING MAJOR ARCANA tarot deck will be available soon! This limited edition release will contain my artwork for the 22 major arcana cards, plus one special title card. Still planning to do a full deck! Watch this space for more details 💜🔮👁️

Just cleared off the book shelf with the most books for the move so I’m feeling pretty accomplished. That leaves 4 bookshelves but also the 20 long and short boxes of 30+ years of reading and collecting comics.

Breaking my (often broken) no social media before 10:00am rule to let you know that I’m back at The Comics Journal with a review of a book I really really liked that is kind of about professional wrestling. www.tcj.com/reviews/soft...

For this week’s DC Round-Up I reviewed JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERGALACTIC SPECIAL #1 by @planetx.bsky.social @nicoleamaines.bsky.social #TravisMoore @tamrabonvillain.bsky.social and #HassanOtsmaneElhaou. A fantastic standalone story and a great intro to Galaxy and Dreamer.

I thought this was posted earlier but over on Threads, folks are posting favorite comic covers. Here’s twelve of mine, part 1

A first glimpse into WEBTOON’s 2026 Creator Residency Program K-Comics Beat gets our first glimpse into how WEBTOON's creator residency program functions within a Los Angeles space for its creators.

The DC Round Up team was kind enough to let me ramble about Swamp Thing #88. I can’t believe this book exists but I’m so grateful it does.

A few years back, @mikedawson.bsky.social and I had a comics interview podcast, and it was pretty good. We talked to a wide swath of a lot of different kinds of cartoonists, various professionals and critics over the couple years it ran. Here's a 3GB DL of it all: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/b31j4...

Graphic Novel Review: CORTO MALTESE – FABLE OF VENICE is an effective sampler to introduce the character With Corto Maltese: Fable of Venice and Other Adventures, Fantagraphics has published a nice introduction to Hugo Pratt's masterworks.

Very cool! An interview with “Search & Destroy” mangaka Atsushi Kaneko on Direct Edition, with interpreting by @akiyanagi.bsky.social - so exciting to see this @mangasplaining.bsky.social / @fantagraphics.bsky.social manga reach new readers! youtu.be/IriVJRZAXxE?...

Oh fuck yes

Finally got one of these shirts celebrating one of the time great covers and all time great comics.

Working through my to read pile of comics pt. 1 Read Death in Trieste by Jason last night. Funny, absurd, and occasionally melancholy so all the elements that makes for classic Jason storytelling. I’m a shill for Jason’s comics but this might be my favorite book of his in awhile.

The fight against Darkseid in Rock of Ages from JLA #14 lives in my head rent free. How The Atom shows up made me a fan of shrinking heroes for life.

Criterion Channel keeps streaming classic anime, and I'm all for it. In addition to Ghost in the Shell and Gunbuster, they've now got Gatchaman. www.criterionchannel.com/gatchaman-th...

Share a GIF from a HORROR movie you love 🖤

Keep thinking about how comics could use something like the Sight and Sound list but also how daunting putting a list together would be.

Well I found out this weekend that a publisher is using one of my reviews for a blurb on their website. That was cool to see.

I am SO excited to announce that the Kickstarter campaign for The Comics Staple, a monthly zine about comics, is live. Go make your pledges now! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tif...

So uh, I got to interview Mike Mignola on his excellent new book.

Wishing the best to all my friends at @flukeathens.bsky.social today. One of the best shows in the southeast.

It’s mostly me this week as the Rundown switches to an All New All Different format. That said @gcarmona3.bsky.social and @projectmarbles.bsky.social drop in with some thoughts on books as well.

I’m sure prices of back issues will skyrocket due to his passing, I think it’s long past time to collect all of The Maxx. All of the collected editions are out of print and frankly this seems like the cheapest option.
