I am so excited to get this issue out there. I haven’t written explicitly about computers since HALT. But this is a mind-bender and real emotional gauntlet. Very proud of this one. I hope you dig it.

AI is killing the college essay as more professors ditch robot-written papers for in-class exams. So now even fewer students are being taught to write well (an energy intensive task!). Students lose out, bc good writing = good thinking: a training of the brain towards structure, style & substance.

The Autumn Kingdom returns in February 2026! Check out this first look at new story pages, beautiful covers, and even a process video for a special wraparound cover! @cullenbunn.bsky.social @christophermitten.bsky.social @francescosegala.bsky.social @morganbeem.bsky.social @oni-press.bsky.social

How do so many democrats still not understand that the ACA *was* the compromise.

Variant cover; THE SIXTH GUN: BATTLE FOR THE SIX (from @oni-press.bsky.social). Everything inside by @cullenbunn.bsky.social, @brihurtt.bsky.social, Bill Crabtree; Crank!, @besspallares.bsky.social, Azat Sayadi, and @winstongambro.bsky.social.

54% in 24 hours feels very nice. I am so thankful to everyone who has pitched in and helped me spread the word. I literally could not do this without y'all!

INTO THE UNBEING is two-volume journey through an eldritch whalefall. For fans of Alien, Annihilation, and Scavenger's Reign. 4 climate scientists on the Australian outback discover a sprawling alien corpse. They go inside to explore & are immediately trapped. From me + @cleanlined.bsky.social

Imagine how incredible it would feel to karate chop through a CGC slabbed comic.

I'd tell you to support anything Robert does because he's one of the nicest guys around, but I don't have to rely on his personality because his talent does all the talking in this Kickstarter! Don't you need something spooky to look forward to?

The Kickstarter campaign for my first solo comic, DREAMHOUSE is live! I'm so excited for y'all to get to read this very weird, personal, creepy comic! kck.st/4oJZSDq

You heard me

It's important to post this picture of Peter Falk in a Dodgers shirt.

Hollow Knight and Silksong are what the bugs are up to during Dune. You can’t change my mind.

Out today: CULT OF THE LAMB - SCHISM SPECIAL #1 The great @angoranapkin.bsky.social and I are back to slaughter some more bishops of the old faith. A grand time will be had by all!

Sketch cover commissions! So many Cultists at the @winnipegcomiccon.bsky.social offering devotion! Praise the Lamb! #CultOfTheLamb #AdventureTime, #SketchCover

"Even a year later, 'Cult of the Lamb' feels fresh as it sets its sights on an even bloodier, bolder, and thoughtful new chapter." @oni-press.bsky.social @alexpaknadel.bsky.social @angoranapkin.bsky.social #CultoftheLamb #NCBD #comicbooks #comics Read @chriscoplan.bsky.social's review:

You wouldn't believe me if I told you how much time and thought went into the design for this hardcover collection, but if you pick up the book you can feel and see it. @mrtylercrook.bsky.social and @winstongambro.bsky.social nailed it.

had to get this out of alcatraz hardcover because I liked the series so much, and I absolutely love the design

To that end what if everyone bought a copy of OUT OF ALCTRAZ right now—the book Tyler Crook spent a year of hand painting and crafting. I think you can get 15% off if you use the code LOVEBOOKSELLERS. Because we love our booksellers. We love books. We love art. We love what things still could be.

Just finished reading @ifyoucantwell.bsky.social and @mrtylercrook.bsky.social’s Out of Alcatraz and loved it. A gorgeous book about how life can be a series of prisons.

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness) As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

Did you get your copy of Out of Alcatraz this week?

My team made little swag sweaters with everything I programmed for the 2025 festival on the back. 😭

Apparently Comic Logic in Ashburn, Virginia has all the copies of Out of Alcatraz in the state.

I am delighted to finally show off the cover I was fortunate enough to do with Tenebrous Press for OLYOKE, an incredibly dreamy, psychosis-inducing book. This might've been the most fun, cathartic and enthusiastic I've been with a cover piece, thanks to the contagious passion behind the team.

The farther I get from Halt and Catch Fire, the more I realize it was lightning in a bottle. I don’t compare much to it. I can’t. But Out of Alcatraz has felt like another bolt in a bottle. The process, the people, the result. The full book is out today. I’ll be signing at Revenge Of tomorrow.

Noir heads, treat yourself to the superb graphic novel/comic series “Out of Alcatraz,” which is tense, gorgeous, and in the end honestly touching. It’s a classic mid-century jailbreak thriller, where every page is a little treasure of story, form, and feeling www.publishersweekly.com/9781637158685
