FLASH SALE ON DIGITAL CUSTOM DRAWINGS -- Really really REALLY have to bring in some money this weekend, so I'm doing a little flash sale on my digital kids drawings. $35 for a 7x& or $75 for a 10x15. Any character you want. In either the little kids style or the teen style. THIS WEEKEND ONLY!

So, I was laid off by my job this week after 13 years. Not only that, but it happened as bills from my recent heart attack-related medical visits come due. Because of that, I'm doing a big sale for SKTCHD/Off Panel related things, so now's a good time to subscribe if you can...because I need it!

make some comics this weekend!! I will be! from the amazing The Cartoonists Club by @goraina.bsky.social and @scottmccloud.bsky.social #thecartoonistclub #makecomics #makestuffwithyourfriends

I went to the Skirball Cultural Center to see the amazing Jack Kirby exhibit. I’ve never seen so much of his original art, and is absolutely worth seeing. Bonus: the first piece in the exhibit is the debut of Captain America—punching out Hitler.

The Mad Cave Studios talent search is back, baby! I said this last year and I'll say it again: This is the coolest thing that Mad Cave does and I want you to participate. We're looking for writers, artists, colorists and letterers. Rules and guidelines are at the link--good luck!

Appreciate any amplification of this thread!

Best mail ever! This gorgeous J Jonah Jameson by @stevelieberart.bsky.social is keeping me on deadline

Show us the way, teenage girl in New Jersey.

Incredibly, DC is now bringing in secret guests like it was the Royal Rumble. This news apparently did not leak: @mattfraction.bsky.social and Jorge Jimenez on a new Batman #1. Fraction made a shock appearance here at #comicspro25 - walking in to wild applause. www.comicsbeat.com/matt-fractio...

From the fine folks at MAD CAVE STUDIOS ! Helping out however we can. @madcavestudios.com

Speaking of comics: Whether this new administration “observes” it or not, it’s still Black History Month. Here’s a list of great comics by Black creators, and/or centering Black characters & stories 🕊️ 📚 bookshop.org/lists/graphi...

Today is launch day for The Other Moonshot! This is the extraordinary story of three Black aerospace engineers in Los Angeles who played a crucial role in getting America to the moon. Their work on the Apollo missions has never been shared before. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l...

I found the best vending machine of all time

I am so behind on my comics list. I just read FML issue 1 by @kellysue.bsky.social + @davidlopez.bsky.social and it's f'ing fantastic. Highly recommend. I'm mad at myself for not reading this earlier, but also thankful I got a little treat today. Give yourself a treat too—issue 2 is out this week

Today brings my annual Three Themes episode of Off Panel, one of my favorites from the year, and it's a good one where I talk about: The State of Marvel with retailer Steve Anderson! The Big Lie with @comixace.bsky.social! Go big or go home with @joshuawilliamson.bsky.social! Listen up!

So grateful my latest book, Marvel Super Graphic, made it on Vulture's Book Gift Guide! So many great books on the list—be sure to check it out as you start any holiday shopping. www.vulture.com/article/book...

I know there are so many huge huge huge important problems in the world right now, but can we talk about how Burt’s Bees lids feel like they’re made of a thinner material than before?

I interviewed @timleong.bsky.social about his latest Super Graphic book as we talked a bit about journalism and the Industry. #comics www.comicsbeat.com/interview-on...

Javier Pulido variant for Shazam #18

Thank you to the team at Capes and Tights

I am so thrilled to talk about Marvel Super Graphic on the latest episode of Off-Panel, the amazing comics podcast by @davidharper.bsky.social. David always asks great questions and routinely features some of my favorite creator conversations. Check out Off-Panel if you haven't already!

This is a great story from Rebecca Jennings at Vox on something I go back and forth on: How much of a social media self-promotion is actually necessary? www.vox.com/culture/2024...

After reading an article about the rise of “scammy AI generated book rewrites” in Wired, I looked up whether there was one of my book. There was. And it is SO much worse than I could have imagined.

If you're not already watching, there are 3 great current(ish) shows you should be watching on Apple TV: ▶️For All Mankind, ▶️Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, and ▶️Slow Horses. They're all their own flavor of delight + fun, and I recommend them all. Monarch and For All Mankind have finales tomorrow FYI.

"Nice Jewish Boys" by Neil Kleid, John Broglia, and Ellie Wright looks great, I can't wait to check it out

I finally saw #TheMarvels last night and LOVED IT. Easily one of the MCU's best offerings since Endgame. The stars shine, Goose is purrfect, and the fun new worlds sing. Put Kamala Khan in absolutely everything.

I have a bunch of relatives that live in a pretty small town. They drove two hours, booked a hotel, and stayed overnight just so they could get there early for the Taylor Swift's Eras Tour movie. The power behind this film is incredible.

Using an image, show a movie you are sure you have watched more than 10 times.

I won't be at NYCC this year, *BUT* I did just finish my next book. I'm not yet allowed to talk about it, but I can't wait to show it off next year at NYCC.

Just backed this project—it looks great. Anything from Ivan is a pretty easy sell.
