when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

First new work on TYRANT® begun.

So the album will be called Inferno: www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9h6...

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...

Not sure what direction to go? That’s EVIL DEAD TURN

If the hardcore band’s guitarist looks like this you’re about to die in that pit

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.

Interview: Mira Ong Chua discusses latest indie comics project THE COSMIC BALLAD OF LAYLA AND ARIES!

Happy Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie on digital to all* those who celebrate. * It’s me. I’m all who celebrate

Sam Kieth did some of the covers Marvel's Toxic Crusaders comics, based on the cartoon. i'm a lifelong fan of his work. very sorry to hear he passed away. my gf and i have been rewatching MTV's The Maxx recently. funny how timing is sometimes.

Sam Kieth was very important to me as a young man getting interested in comics as an artform. Nothing looked like The Maxx and nothing still does. One of the most singular to ever do it.

Chuck Norris has passed away at 86. Not a perfect man by any means (he was a bigot) so let's just enjoy the Walker Lever. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEzI...

Holy shit, new Neurosis with Aaron Turner replacing that chud Scott Kelly? Fuck, happy Friday to me

With gas prices, a possible move, and a bit of a financial hole I’m in, no Fluke or HeroesCon for me this year. Definitely disappointed, especially that I won’t see folks, but there’s always next year.

looking to a text for moral affirmation is the function of propaganda or religion, and that's what moral policers are trying to morph fiction into art is not a holy bible nor is it a judicially approved social etiquette manual, it's inherently transgressive because YOU do the critical engagement

Really excited about this but next Tuesday (3/17), I’m once again hosting the Graphic Novel Club at Blackbird Comics & Coffee in Maitland, FL. We’re discussing Black Cloak by @kellythompson.bsky.social and @iniquitousfish.bsky.social! Even better, they’ll join us over Zoom to discuss with us!

This weekend reminded me that if I had the means, I would absolutely live in Chicago.

If you're within 500 miles of Athens, you should come to FLUKE on March 28th. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLUKE_M...

My Bandcamp Friday theme and purchases

New Dragon Age animation, Maddox's funeral at Skyhold. Watch here: youtu.be/kO15oXNgoRs You can subscribe to #lorekeeperredd on Youtube to stay updated when new episodes drop.

Just found out for health reasons that Godflesh is pretty much done. Justin K. Broadrick’s health won’t let him hit those guttural notes anymore. The Decline and Fall EP and the album A World Lit Only By Fire reignited my love of heavy music. So grateful I saw them on what was their final tour.

I say this lovingly but One Piece fans are a bunch of nerds.

You know the more I think about it, the more I think comics could use its own version of a Sight and Sound list.

Tatjana Wood has apparently passed away at age 99. Her father was Jewish so during WW2 her parents sent her to the Netherlands, then NY. She studied as a dressmaker, met/married Wallace Wood and began assisting him, then pivoted to becoming one of the best colorists in comics.

A happy 40th anniversary to the time Bulma ran Goku over with her car and then took out a gun and tried to shoot him to death

this is extremely fucking important, esp with what just happened in kansas. they are trying to criminalize every aspect of our existence. i try not to be alarmist about things but this is where we are and it is BAD bad

💕New Episode💕 We're late to the party, but our @elfquest.bsky.social passion is all-encompassing these days. So, it's with great joy that we invite Wendy & Richard Pini onto the podcast this week to discuss their unique creative relationship: www.comicbookcouplescounseling.com/post/wendy-a...

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons

Picked up the hardcover edition last night of the best Marvel book of last year. Seriously @charlessoule.bsky.social and Steve McNiven really outdid themselves on this book.

"Can you hear the drums, Fernando?"

I reviewed Japan’s gorgeous submission for Best International Feature Film. I don’t know much about kabuki but this is a pretty gripping drama.
