Hard to believe it possible to elevate a book by Ed Brubaker & @seanphillips.bsky.social but the color work by @thatjacobphillips.bsky.social on FIVE GEARS IN REVERSE, the new CRIMINAL book from @imagecomics.com, takes the story to another level. Amazing!

Today is FOC for KING SPAWN #56. Tell your local comic shop you need it or you might miss out.

I just backed The Comics Courier, A Comics Criticism Journal [Issue 4] by @explodingarrow.bsky.social on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/tif...

Every month I pretend Wizard Magazine is still publishing monthly issues so that I may mail in a decorated envelope to their Magic Words letter art contest. This month, May, I’ve submitted Absolute Green Arrow! And what do you know? It’s been selected as Envelope Of The Month! Wowee!

This week sees the publication of Ultimates 24, our last issue. We've been building to a lot of this since the first arc. I hope you like it. "What is strength?"

Your new favorite superhero comic starts this summer! Kirkman! Casey! Kubert! Finch! Adams! You are not ready for TERMINAL and Robert Kirkman joins Jim Viscardi for a new episode of Let’s Talk Comics to tell you everything you need to know. https://ow.ly/7BMA50Z2rPV

Paul Chadwick is walking us through some of his storytelling....enjoy!

Thanks for all of the insight & analysis, @comixace.bsky.social Great work on this! I hope @marvelcomicshqs.bsky.social takes advice from @davidharper.bsky.social & goes All-New, All-Different! I enjoy many of the creators working there, but want a new vision. www.comicsbeat.com/what-the-hec...

If you're an Eisner voter, I'd appreciate your consideration for SKTCHD in the Best Comics-Related Periodical/Journalism category! As a note, Off Panel is part of SKTCHD, so a vote for the site is a vote for the podcast (imo). They're pretty neat, and I'm proud of what I did on the site in 2025.

Brubaker & @seanphillips.bsky.social are BACK 🔥 Unfinished Tales is a twisted noir thriller about writer’s block gone VERY wrong 😳📚 This might be their wildest story yet 👀 #comicsky #crimefiction Details:

Today brings one of my favorite annual traditions on Off Panel, as I discussed the defining themes of 2025 in comics with three people who think about the direct market a lot in retailer Steve Anderson, @comixace.bsky.social, and @ashcanpress.com. It was a good time. Listen up!

It seems like @3w3m.bsky.social is about to command a lot of attention! Can't wait for the first full graphic novel, SHIFT: 3w3m.substack.com/p/comic-shif...

Ultimate X-Men no. 20 by Peach Momoko from @marvecomicshqs.bsky.social @wilmoss.bsky.social

What are the odds that we get a Hickman-written INHUMANS series at the end of IMPERIAL? Maybe w/Marco Checchetto on art? @davidharper.bsky.social @tombrevoort.bsky.social @3w3m.bsky.social @marvelcomicshqs.bsky.social @lindseycohick.bsky.social @sktchd.bsky.social @oliversava.bsky.social

My signed copy of 10,000 INK STAINS by @jefflemire171.bsky.social From @darkhorse.com Thank you @comicgeeks.bsky.social It is a great read so far!

How does @chrissamnee.bsky.social manage to keep leveling up?! BATMAN & ROBIN: YEAR ONE no. 10 was the best issue yet. @markwaid.bsky.social @roblevin.bsky.social @jimlee.bsky.social

Has anyone else been able to place an order on @mycomicshop.bsky.social this weekend? Their website won't let me move past the address screen. #ComicBooks

Hey, @mycomicshop.bsky.social I can’t move past the address page to complete my order. Help!

Thanks for sharing, @comixace.bsky.social & @comicsbeat.bsky.social Informative, moving, & quite a tribute to one of the giants in comic book history (even if that history is a bit complicated) RIP Jim Shooter www.comicsbeat.com/remembering-...

Issue 5 of ASSORTED CRISIS EVENTS is called "Strange Loops". Every page is a loop. Here is the first page. @ericxyz.bsky.social @imagecomics.com

Trapped in the time-mind sync-warp by Thanos, Drax is imprisoned in his mind and sinking into insanity and certain death. Drax swears at Thanos he will escape. Thirty-five panels on one page later, he does. --- Seventies mind warping, psychedelic pop by Jim Starlin.

The Power Fantasy 9 had a great article by Rian Hughes about design. I need to read it again to see if it might help me w/a poem I'm struggling to complete. Thank you @kierongillen.bsky.social @casparw.bsky.social & @imagecomics.com for making space for this in the back of a comic. You made my day.

Tonight! Book club!

@npr.org & @ayesharascoe.bsky.social talk to Michael Dean about Lost Marvels: Tower of Shadows from @fantagraphics.bsky.social & @marvelcomicshqs.bsky.social I'm really enjoying the collection so far. Great work from Steranko, Adams, Windsor-Smith, Wood & more! www.npr.org/2025/05/28/1...

FF no. 48 (Dec 1965) from @marvelcomicshqs.bsky.social had so many gems! Beyond the 1st appearances of the Silver Surfer & Galactus, there's a full-page collage by Kirby & a letter from Don McGregor just before he leaves for the Service. @alexgrand.bsky.social @backissuemagazine.bsky.social

If you missed the chance to get the latest book I made collecting my work on SKTCHD and Off Panel, I ended up with some extras of SKTCHD BOOK 2024. It turned out GREAT. Order your copy today because it's only getting the one print run and it's very limited.

Just finished ASSORTED CRISIS EVENTS no. 2 from @imagecomics.com Wow. @denizcamp.bsky.social @ericxyz.bsky.social Jordie Bellaire & Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou broke the arrow of time in a relevant & personal way. Can’t wait for issue 3 next month!

Two of my poems were just published today by Abstract magazine. Check them out and let me know what you think! Poems by J. Thomas Burke abstractmagazinetv.com/2025/04/18/p...

What’s the Deal With Paul Bunyan? - racketmn.com/whats-the-de...

Is ABSOLUTE MARTIAN MANHUNTER the best comic of the year? I experienced an intense trauma this year (kitchen, car) & the issue completely resonated with me. @denizcamp.bsky.social @javierrodriguez.bsky.social & Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou crafted a masterpiece. Thank you.

Deniz and Javier just go for it with ABSOLUTE MARTIAN MANHUNTER. I've liked all the Absolute books so far, but this is my favourite. Very much one that's worth getting in the flesh too. #WeReadsComics.

Read the first five pages of USAGI YOJIMBO: TEN THOUSAND PLUMS #2 & listen to our latest episode with legendary cartoonist Stan Sakai🔗🧵⬇️

I know Toth’s influence, but I see Kurtzman in there, too, especially his war comics. Thoughts? @chrissamnee.bsky.social @idwpublishing.bsky.social @markwaid.bsky.social @marvelcomicshqs.bsky.social @alexgrand.bsky.social @robertkirkman.bsky.social @davidharper.bsky.social @wordballoon.bsky.social

Sold out

I can’t think of a better way to celebrate my birthday than reading a new issue of Usagi Yojimbo! Thank you @stansakaiofficial.bsky.social & @darkhorse.com Ten Thousand Plums
