GIGS! Coming soon from @topshelfcomix.bsky.social by @markmosedale.bsky.social and Si Smith! Gigs is both a stark warning about the systems taking shape around us and a stubborn, hopeful testament to the humanity that survives in the margins. Pre-order here: okcomics.co.uk/products/pre...

I don't think the New Radicals could have kicked Courtney Love's ass.

The latest issue of The Vertigo Weekly Reader is out. Eternity offers something different if you happen to be a piece of corporate-owned IP.

I find the experience of looking at Pinterest or Instagram's 'for you' tab ruined by the question: 'is this AI generated?' I don't want to look at fake photos of imaginary scenes sucked from an LLM. I don't want to look at 'art' that wasn't created by a person.

One of the things I like about Big Hero 6 is how they never really suggest that Baymax is 'alive', and yet the film invites you to treat it/him as though it/him is. It's this sort of weird open philosophical space that goes unaddressed. In a Disney film.

Resist!

Hello I am James and I draw mostly for fun I am the Co creator of Alex Automatic and my own comics Stramash and the Crimson Devil. I am currently looking for comics or illustration work.

Cosmology, mystery, putting walls around the universe

Solid dad moment this morning: as we watched Sadness turn the console in Inside Out blue I asked my four-year-old why Riley needed Sadness to help her. She asked me to tell her.

Apple just notified me that someone is trying to access my account near London, UK. It's me, in Leeds.

Storytelling lessons on realism, fantasy and awkward questions from Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing.

Don't you miss the days when your faves were just problematic, instead of outright monsters?

A lovely story about a book quest, AI goblins, mythical goblins, and the power (and critical application) of special knowledge. (Via @robinsloan.com's excellent newsletter)

Errr… Is this, on my Facebook Portal, new? Why would I let Facebook edit my playlists etc? (Have I probably signed up for this kind of garbage before and not noticed?)

Alan Moore takes us on a metaphysical tour of the DC Universe.

I can’t log into my doorbell. What a dumb century.

Never read a Vampirella anything in my life, but cyberpunk Vampirella with post-partum depression sounds like a great take.

What's the optimum amount of sleep for writing comics? Is it three and a half hours? Please respond with 'yes'.

If you're disturbed by what's happening in the USA right now, and in particular, how it's being reported so blandly and unquestioningly here in the UK, this is essential listening. @dorianlynskey.bsky.social and @iandunt.bsky.social on point, again. open.spotify.com/episode/0edO...

I have a graphic novel getting published next year, the story mode of a video game under my belt and multiple other projects in development. But every time I open my laptop to make something up, I have to exert a lot of watts of mental energy to convince myself I can, in fact, do it.

Audio drama is right up there with comics as one of the great mediums for interesting, creative storytelling. Sign the @societyofauthors.bsky.social petition to save audio drama at the BBC.

Enjoying these pictures of Toronto bike messengers in the 1990s. Looks like they were having a ton of fun.

The final Vertigo Weekly Reader of the year is out! Green Arrow spotted the problem with our politics 40 years ago. Plus, Alan Moore on 'solve et coagula'.

<nasal voice> With AI, we could produce another Toploader or, who knows, another Lighthouse Family

I like Absolute Wonder Woman, but this looks next level from @cleanlined.bsky.social.

This video essay about Bone is great, but the real eye-opener is the stat about how much of the US graphic novel market Marvel and DC command compared to Scholastic. Big Two: less than 5% Scholastic: nearly 40%

Neon Apex: Beyond the Limit, the video game I wrote the story mode for, has been announced. It looks f***ing great. I'm pretty proud of the work I did. It's pretty weird business for a racing game, getting into all sorts of stuff it has no right to.

The Justice League are basically a bunch of useless dopes in Swamp Thing. One reading of the issue is as an ode to the power of expertise. Around half of our modern day electorate would probably hate it.

Sneak peek at something I'm working on coloring for fun.

From the viewpoint of 2024, the appearance of that Big Red S in Alan Moore's Swamp Thing is a bit incongruous, but I'd argue that the Justice League shows up so that Moore can tell us what Swamp Thing definitely isn't, nosiree.

Even as someone who will likely never watch 'Kraven the Hunter', I was deeply invested and highly entertained by this.

Alan Moore doesn't let the superheroes get their tights dirty on Swamp Thing's mucky bits.

When Hawkman isn't a guy in a hawk mask, but a guy with a hawk's head on top of his head, he's the absolute creepiest. The new issue of The Vertigo Weekly Reader will be out soon, guest starring the Justice League being a bit feckless. markmosedale.substack.com

@okcomics.bsky.social says on the website that they've sold out of Joe and His Killer Robot Dad Comic Stuff, but I was in there an hour ago and saw more show up. It's the first thing of mine to see print. It includes a few strips I wrote, plus a bunch of production art by Mick McMahon.

Tomorrow's issue of The Vertigo Weekly Reader is going to be about the shared universe business clinging to Moore's early Swamp Thing. I'm really interested in the tension between individual stories and shared universe contexts. The relationship get REALLY taut in early Vertigo.

Is anyone using/searching the hashtags on here, or am I wasting my time?
