Despite delayed flights and lengthy taxi lines, I’m at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social this weekend and slinging comics with the @limitbreakcomics.bsky.social crew. I’ve got When the Blood has Dried, Lens, and our award-winning mythology anthologies so pop along to C49 in the 2000AD Hall and say “hi”!

Storm Claudia has nobbled our flights, so won't get to the convention centre till tomorrow. Plus, I've had to buy new flights last minute. SO PLEASE COME AND BUY SUMMAT THIS WEEKEND :/

The Six Million Dollar Man* *adjusted for inflation

All packed for Thought Bubble but as is tradition at this stage the weather has turned on us. Who wants to take bets on when they start cancelling flights?

I know a lot is going on, but I would really appreciate a share. I'm still waiting on a check and I'm wrapping up the rest of my small gigs this week. If you need any art and you like what I do, please consider contacting me. I'd like to think my budget is reasonable, and I put out some good art

“I will remember that.”

Seriously, whoever snags the licence to do Dispatch comics is going to do very well for themselves. More importantly though…

God, I love this game.

Baby's first ever Xeno. Came out okay?! Available at Thought Bubble this weekend!

My Bloomsbury release under their new Marvel Age of Comics imprint, Daredevil: Born Again, is officially out today! Even better, it's helping launch this new line alongside Paul Cornell, Stuart Moore, and Ytasha L. Womack (whose book is coming in early '26) www.bloomsbury.com/us/daredevil...

YOU NEED THIS ON YOUR SHELF! AND YOU'VE ONLY GOT 53 HOURS TO MAKE IT HAPPEN

There is no winning. Read a book in public, you get accused of being performative. Don't read a book in public, Joyce Carol Oates says you are a human shell with no inner life. 😞

ALTER EGO paperback hits 11/25! An instant USA TODAY bestseller, ALTER EGO's the standalone sequel to my LA Times Book Prize-winning novel, SECRET IDENTITY, and features comic pages by the great @sandyjarrell.com! us.macmillan.com/books/978125... @flatironbooks.bsky.social @zackwagman.bsky.social

Me making arrangements for the annual Big Ol’ Dinner on the Saturday night of Thought Bubble.

A giant. RIP

We're in the 2000 AD Hall, table C49 at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social - follow the map to find our friends! We have six comics that have never seen the show! 😼 Meouch #3 ⭐️ Wish Upon a Star 💀 The Ties That Bind 🏚 The Dark House, Volume 1 🏰 The Dark in the Tower 🏹 When the Blood Has Dried

Counting down the days to Thought Bubble.

One of my favourite books of the year. If you missed it in single issues, don’t make the same mistake with the trade.

WE'RE TAKING EVERYONE DOWN WITH US tpb is out in December so FOC is right now. If you don't know what FOC is or why preorders matter SO MUCH I'll explain. But in order to encourage folks to preorder we made ltd edition signed bookplates only available at select comic shops. List of them below. ⬇️

Y'know, it makes perfect sense that Guillermo del Toro and James Cameron were roommates who introduced each other to Patlabor and Battle Angel Alita.

Breaking out the big guns this evening.

I support this process. You can listen to my chat with @ericafails.bsky.social here:

Tá an-áthas orm a chur in iúl go d’oibrigh mé ar an leagan Gaeilge de Quantum Quest (gearrscannáin nua ó Cassette Vision) mar aistritheoir! Delighted to announce I worked on the Irish language version of Quantum Quest, a new short film from Cassette Vision, as a translator! 1/ #Speirgorm

I’m now up-to-date on Dispatch and it’s amazing how engaging the weekly release model has been. I haven’t seen appointment gaming like this in a long time.

The preorder for my next ONE RING rpg supplement, HANDS OF THE WHITE WIZARD, is up! freeleaguepublishing.com/shop/the-one...

The genre's called Sword and Planet, cousin, LEARN about it

Michael D gives me bookshelf envy.

Hey, I’m Lan Pitts--comic writer and pop culture enthusiast. I’ve written for BOOM! Studios, Headlocked, Lethal, Limit Break, and Image Comics. My next book, BEAT EVERY 1-UP from Maverick/Mad Cave Studios, hits March 2026! Thanks for stopping by.

Two truths can exist at the same time.

Dave would like me to post my shop link but with actual samples, haha! abbybulmer.myshopify.com

When I was twelve, I met a professional comic creator for the first time. My old LCS was hosting David Llyod, co-creator of V for Vendetta. I hadn’t really heard of him before that. It wasn’t very busy and we chatted for a good bit because no one else was around. 1/

Currently looking for new opportunities in Game Writing. I've written full game scripts, implemented dialogue, and done pretty much everything in the narrative pipeline across 8+ years. Looking for full-time or contract work! www.linkedin.com/in/frank-barbiere

I haven’t gotten this many dm’s and messages about a piece of work before. Very heart warming! I’d also like to point out the value of of sharing others art on here. I was offered this cover gig after @carsonthornart.com shared my tmnt fan art. I know this because the editor told me.

Dispatch is really making a strong case for bringing back episodic gaming. What a time to be alive!

I think in future we should learn the lessons of Metaphor Re: Fantazio and let all of our elections be decided by way of ancient blood magic.

Finished a long-term writing project recently to it’s time to refuel with some of the good stuff (courtesy of my local library).

Last night I went to the Puca Festival in Trim, Ireland. It's all fun and games until someone unleashes a giant demonic hare.

RIP Adam Greenberg He was the superb cinematographer who shot Near Dark (watch it!), Terminator 2: Judgment Day and, of course, The Terminator, which means he’s responsible for one of my favourite shots in cinema that also coined a new genre for its film:

Yeah, I think I’m going to dig Dispatch.

SO excited for TEN-TON TITAN TERRIER to be part of @comixexperience.bsky.social's Graphic Novel Club for November 2025! Stay tuned for more details, including our upcoming interview with me and series artist @ornitoplatypus.bsky.social! www.comixexperience.com/graphic-nove...

Read today that the origin of ‘the pitch’ was Torquemada being bored in the Spanish Inquisition, so imprisoned playwrights would be brought before him to tell him their story ideas. If he didn’t like them they were ‘pitched’ into a pot of boiling tar. If he liked them - four issue mini-series.

Some light reading for the weekend that’s in it!

If you see this post a vampire that isn’t Dracula (technically).

We have now passed 500 backers on SINK: Halloween Special. I'm sorry, with personal stuff I know I've been pretty MIA for promoting this, so I'm all the more appreciative that you've shown up and helped me get passed what was my pie-in-the-sky dream milestone. www.kickstarter.com/projects/com...

Reject modernity, embrace tradition

A reminder that the original Hallowe'en jack o' lanterns date back to 18th century Ireland if not earlier, were based on a shady boozy blacksmith called Stingy Jack who cheated the devil & was trapped between 2 worlds, were carved from turnips and looked like this:

I’m not seeing nearly enough people talk about @imagecomics.com new ongoing The Author Immortal by @fjbarb.bsky.social and @morganbeem.bsky.social . If you want to scratch that 90’s/ early 2000’s Vertigo itch - this books for you. If you’re lucky you might still be able to pick up a copy of #1!

Not intentional, but they DO serve similar purposes: to deliver very different yet equally incendiary messages to a captive audience. And the whole giant hologram thing is just very Wizard of Oz, isn't it — this is sci-fi fantasy, go big or go back to earth

It’s okay, 90s kids have been well-trained for this. #ApeEscape

Well, it’s about goddamn time!
