The news is out in @publisherswkly.bsky.social! I am VERY excited to announce a new print comics publication - The Comics Staple, a monthly comics zine filled with reviews, recommendations, interviews and more. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/newsbrief...

I am starting a studio! We are small and scrappy and have no money. Why am I doing this? Because the only ones who can protect art are the ones who value it. Disney using AI? Yuck. Netflix buying WB? Also yuck. In 10 years what is even going to be left.

Hi folks. We're dropping our paywall on this story about the scourge of AI pitches for the day, so give it a read and share widely. www.coyotemedia.org/how-coyote-a...

I am not a movie studio, but I do think it's bananas to say "hey actually this is unmarketable, cancelled" two years into production. Why not just go for it and let the movie find its audience? Everyone wants a KPop Demon Hunters and nobody wants to reflect on what made it possible. Ridiculous.

may i offer u a froggy bouquet

Everybody, do yourselves a favor and watch and share The Librarians, a phenomenal film about the librarian heroes putting everything on the line to keep books on shelves. @thelibrariansfilm.bsky.social youtu.be/ywQOCY-qDzE

🚨 NEW on Shelfdust today! Political Dinosaurs: Rocking The Vote in Flintstones #5 🚨 @stevebaxi.bsky.social heads back in time to look at the specific political environment in 2016 that led to The Flintstones participating in, um, genocide: shelfdust.com/2026/02/11/p...

This piece is so wonderful, but this part made me cry a little bit not gonna lie

shoutout to all the children who think email is just ugly DMs

A favorite from 2025- thoughtful color design, engaging plot line, and one of the most elusive elements in the fictional world: realistic friendships. Do you have another favorite body-swapping comic? If not, would you please write one?

Kinda feels important to know that ReedPOP's parent company has ties to ICE. There's some things we can do in the comics community to make our voices heard. 1/3 Open letter from BookCon authors: reactormag.com/authors-open... Check the RELX, LexisNexis, and ReedPOP ties yourself: www.relx.com

Let’s get started. Bare bones this year, freehand sharpie on paper, if we make mistakes so be it. Midnight-6am #hourlycomicsday

so many kidlit people use substack. may I suggest: don’t

This is not at all breaking news at all and many have pointed out as such but this is also the key reason why many folks will not partake of your Substacks (because it is hosted at THE Nazi bar)

New BARBAROUS yesterday! New BARBAROUS tomorrow! 🔥

This whole thing where billionaires snap up media properties so they can run them into the ground to make it harder for people to call them and their cronies to account is extremely obvious and very tiresome. It also limits our access to largr information about culture and the world, also by design.

turns out it's not so much Democracy Dies in Darkness but more WaPo Dies in a Billionaire's Pocket

a real solid read with some sick burns folded in

Last year, I successfully crowdfunded my new, original, all-ages, adventure comic series -- ENDLESS FANTASIA! It follows the adventures of Jack and Jill, as they travel across a world of reimagined fairytales and fight Wolf demons! Lots of Sonic and Kingdom Hearts vibes! It drops later this year!

FLIP, my latest original graphic novel, about a scholarship student who swaps bodies with her crush. You can check it out here: us.macmillan.com/books/9781250179524/flip/

New riso zine is allllll folded. A lost and found, tiny little thing that unfolds to an a4 spread of all the nature I miss, and all the nature I now have in my life.

What's it like to create during a crisis? I talked with members of the Minneapolis comic community like @trungles.com, @zandercannon.bsky.social, K. Woodman-Maynard, and more about making comics during ICE's occupation, the ICE Out Comics initiative, and more. This is open to non-subscribers.

for over 3 weeks, I've spoken to ICE watchers and organizers across the country: first right after Renee Good's killing — then 2 weeks into my reporting, Alex Pretti was killed. ICE watchers are being detained and harassed — but they're also stopping ICE abductions and inspiring others to join them

Very excited to say that 404 Media's zine about ICE Surveillance is here. If you ordered a print copy, I put it in the mail last week. If not, we of course think the info inside is very important so here's a free PDF. We also translated it into Spanish: www.404media.co/icezine/

I'm delighted to hear of the release of Liam Ramos! The good folks of @comixaction.com have put together the #ComicsForLiam initiative, to celebrate a brave boy and bring attention to others in his position. Check it out!

A new consultant contract at a Texas Educational Service Center would muzzle authors & harm students, barring them from inclusive experiences. Y'all, this is REALLY BAD. This is the next step in banning any voices outside those deemed right by white supremacy. bookriot.com/texas-esc-1-...

It’s important to understand that Dominicans and other immigrants are part of the fabric of Puerto Rican society — and ICE is currently terrorizing them on the island. Benito is speaking against what’s going on in the U.S. but also on its colony, where people literally did not vote for any of this.

Liam is home now and we are grateful to @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social for traveling to Minneapolis with him and his dad. Welcome home Liam ❤️❤️

the pitt the studio 🤝 if i do not look away my face will disintegrate

For Liam.

i do not care for useless barnacle "culture crave" or its equally useless siblings. just link me to the original reporting so i can be disgusted by facts in their entirety

Some dear colleagues spent the last three years trying to maintain some degree of the quality and standards we had built at CMX, with hardly any resources, and they were rewarded with the same dehumanizing rug pull that we were treated to in the last round of layoffs. Look out for them

Congratulations to @galegalligan.bsky.social and @raulthethird.bsky.social! At this week's @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social's Youth Media Awards, their wonderful middle grade graphic novels FRESH START and THE SNIPS: A BAD BUZZ DAY were each awarded an Outstanding Comics Honor for Children's Fiction.

i love putting in requests to the library. makes me feel like a spoiled little prince. banging my fists like PAPA, THIS BOOK, I WANT IT. BRING ME THE BOOK PAPA
