Meet Courtney Menard, the Director of BEC. She is an illustrator, printmaker, and sequential art storyteller, and the Print Production and Design Director for Tiny Onion, an independent production house for comics. She co-curated the 2019 Comic Arts Brooklyn Festival with Desert Island.

Bored to Death deserves so much love. I never laugh out loud and it still kills me—overeducated millennial Brooklyn faux noir. It's also Zach Galifianakis playing @deanhaspiel.bsky.social (who also kills on the opening credit sequence).

🔥 Fireborn 1 by @curtpires.bsky.social, @franklinjonas.bsky.social & Patrick Mulholland sells 70k units. 🔪 Narco 2 from @dougwagner13.bsky.social, Daniel Hillyard & @12gaugecomics.bsky.social outsells Narco 1. It's a good time to make comics, friends. bleedingcool.com/comics/comic...

Angel's Egg is streaming on HBO+ is a sentence I never thought I'd write. Prepare to watch the most philosophical fantasy anime that will make you Google it for longer than the film lasts.

We chat with Stephen R Bissette, Jim Rugg, and Chris Stevens about Tyrant, a lost masterwork given new life: www.comicbookcouplescounseling.com/post/stephen...

I just backed Stephen R. Bissette's TYRANT Historic Deluxe Editions on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/com...

Red mooning. Was expecting a deeper zoom from my 70-200, but hey, an excuse to get a new lens for next time.

My variant cover for @samhumphries.bsky.social @kellysue.bsky.social @natachabustos.bsky.social and Josh Reed EXCITING new series SKATE ALI. Coming out in June with @darkhorse.com!

Fun fact: eating two packs of Trader Joe's sliced mozzarella in two consecutive days may put your scale in a time machine and negate days of intermittent fasting.

Love is in the air (and in some of our favorite horror comics)! We're celebrating some of our favorite horror couples on the page. Come on in for our full romantic list.

I made these a million years ago when I ran social for First Second and I love how other comic publishers are doing them now. Happy V Day all. Hold your loved ones, and/or comics library, close.

In Portland there is no cosplay. There are just people literally going about their day with sheathed rapiers and leather pouches. Dragons still need slaying, even at the farmers market.

@dougwagner13.bsky.social visits the Short Box Podcast & @badrm.bsky.social to chat about Narco, dark comedy horror comics, and the Materials Universe! www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ldf...

Exclusive Preview of Stephen R. Bissette’s Epic Dinosaur Comic Book Series TYRANT dailydead.com?p=312600 @stephenrbissette.bsky.social @comicslighthouse.bsky.social

A MISCHIEF OF MAGPIES shall yet be seen. It's the most beautiful thing we've ever made. It's three issues long. It's 97% done. Here is an update on its publishing situation: dstlry.co/blogs/news/p... @matiasbergara.bsky.social

Digging A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms a lot more than GoT (which I liked fine). This is so much more optimistic, funny, and rhythmic. The half hour episodes are killing me, though.

Questions I have after watching Melania: • Why did it take place in England? • Why did Hugh Grant cameo? • Why was Paddington Bear in it? • Did I just watch Paddington 2 again?

It was absolute joy to turn @ifyoucantwell.bsky.social's story into pictures. Sadly, think this story of a walking id becoming President has become closer to a documentary than to satire....even more so than when it was released in 2020. I think we'd be better off with Big Head in charge.

I love Nicoletta's work so much. I'd do a cover with her for every new book.

The Best Things About 2025 🧵 🎵 Deafheaven—Lonely People with Power The perfect soundtrack to a year that was a psychedelic meltdown of logic and hope. Like moshing into an existential void. The plot follows a motel where transitory souls pass/ death observes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yt9l...

Hey Friends, @kodansha.us & @neonichiban.bsky.social have a load of free first volumes of various manga. It's kinda nuts—cozy up and dive in. Witch Hat Atelier is a favorite. The character work is gorgeous.

I missed National Cheetah Day but they're my favorite. This is my buddy Emmet from my zoo days. I miss him dearly. (And no I'm not about to do hard drugs.)

Tender and mild are two very weird ways to describe an infant.

Excited for the Supergirl movie coming out this June? So are we! So much so we're rereading the comic it's based on—the masterpiece Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow by @tomking.bsky.social & @bilquis.bsky.social. (Spoiler alert: ☄️ galloped away with our ❤️s). neonichiban.com/item/13976/s...

"...a wild, extremely mature adventure that is, in a word, a delight.” ComicBook.com Preorder Galactic 2 from @curtpires.bsky.social & @amilcarpinna.bsky.social before Monday 12/15 🚀

This is my favorite horror book in at least the past decade. The rhythm, aesthetic, and introspection...it's 100% a master at the top of his game. And it is a GD steal at $5.

A lot of you haven't seen 1987's A Muppet Family Christmas (starring The Muppets, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock AND The Muppet Babies) and it shows. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bi9q...

Dear heavens Absolute Batman 14 peels so much paint. This is simultaneously epic and personal. It made me feel like a 14-year-old after eating 10 pixie sticks and an adult navigating humanity's towering nihilism. @ssnyder1835.bsky.social & @nickdragotta.bsky.social created something so special.

Chip, @rachaelstott.bsky.social, @tamrabonvillain.bsky.social, and @airy.bsky.social really nailed it with the first issue of White House Robot Romance. It’s a heck of a debut, and it really uses the extra space nicely. Keep an eye out for it in September because it’s GREAT.
