Paddington! So cool! On a talent scouting trip and I think this bear’s got a story to tell!

ew.com/original-pow... Pretty stoked! Go tell your retailers you want in on all the action!

Our questions are open now for I HEART SKULL-CRUSHER! Send all questions to [email protected] and we will answer them on the show! 🏀💀

Will do!

Happy to be a guest with Matthew. Always a great host.

Standing up against tyranny. That’s what a real super hero looks like.

Hey Comics Creators, if you received an email from me about a "Buy Out" of your contract, that IS REAL. And likely a good thing for you. I'm happy to answer any questions, simply REPLY ALL to the email and your question will come back to me and the publisher. Happy to shed any additional light! Thx

Getting a full length manuscript in from a NYT's best-selling novelist that's a really good graphic novel script is a delight I wasn't anticipating today. Good day to come into work!

In other @boom-studios.com news, GRIM has been picked up by @netflix.com for a series to be put into production! Very cool for creators @stephsmash.bsky.social and Flaviano. icv2.com/articles/new...

Nice to see Larry Hama and the late Doc Bright's series getting some love on @icv2.com ! It's a romp, folks! icv2.com/articles/new...

NYCC 2025 is in the books. An energetic show. Lots of great conversations that make me optimistic for the future. We’ve been through a lot these last couple of years, but what’s being built now in response is looking very promising. It’s hard to keep an industry about underdogs down.

BOOM! Studios is looking for a new assistant editor! You can read the job posting here and follow directions to apply to the greatest comics editorial team in the world! bit.ly/42ooXLq

Heading out tomorrow. And here’s where you can find me at #SDCC And maybe learn some good craft, too!

Saw Superman today. It was nice for a Superman movie to have characters that cared more about saving the lives of innocent people than killing the bad guy. So seems like a solid shift in the right direction.

Helping out the back to school efforts volunteering at Ready Fest for all the kids in the county. Trying to do my part to do good things.

My SDCC schedule!

I might be in trouble. I’m beginning to suspect that this hotel is a front for Cobra, the ruthless organization determined to rule the world!

I'm very excited to be working with these five, extremely talented editors on top of the five extremely talented editors I'm ALREADY working with at BOOM!. www.comicsbeat.com/whoa-boom-hi...

Whoa! Boom hires Fougner, Girner, Miller, Osajyefo, and Valdez: Boom! Studios has hired an editorial director, a special projects director and three executive editors, and they are all well known in the community

I grew up reading his Hulk and X-Factor. Then I had the pleasure of being his editor at Marvel on Captain Marvel, Madrox the Multiple Man, the X-Factor revival series and then Fallen Angel over at IDW. I absolutely loved working with him.

Enjoying the Lou City FC game with some of my favorite people.

This is pretty cool news. bleedingcool.com/comics/andy-...

Check it out! My friend @alexsegura.bsky.social has a new project! Learn more here: bsky.app/profile/did:...

Jonas Salk is a hero.💕

HARD AGREE. The Originals is fantastic!

#PROTIP: #comics artist, to improve the clarity of your storytelling, do your own word balloon placements in your layouts—plan for those big white blobs on the page. #makecomics

Wife surprised me today with a trip to meet two charming capybaras. And it made me very happy.

We’re still trying to get to 50 percent funded on #kickstarter! It’s got #zombies #romance #horror great #merch, #comics #comedy and we even got #valentines. kck.st/3EyooWo. Prices start at just $3! It’s cheaper than eggs. Every little bit helps.

Broke through the dead zone big time yesterday. Thank you!! Now we're close to crossing 175 backers, unlocking a new milestone reward, & 85% funded w/6 days left. If humans can't survive the trip to Mars...DON'T SEND HUMANS! Check out the sci-fi/dark comedy VAMPIRES ON MARS #1-3: kck.st/3EzoEo6

Reminder that BANDETTE Volume Four softcover, by me and @colleencoover.bsky.social, is OUT! The greatest comic ever made can be yours! (hype!) www.amazon.com/Bandette-4-S... (the link is to Amazon but please get it from your local comic shop it's so much more lovely to give them support and love)

TODAY ONLY! Comics Experience (which I run) is having a flash sale on @fredvanlente.bsky.social 's ON DEMAND course: COMICS WRITING: STORY ARCS & ONGOING SERIES for 30% off. It covers how to craft long-form stories in comics. Once you buy it, it's in your account forever. tinyurl.com/4aw24czp

#PROTIP: #comics artist, to improve the clarity of your storytelling, make sure your reader’s eye has a place to rest at least once on each page. #makecomics

In better news, I finally finished The Pedestrian. An absolutely wonderfully odd indie superhero comic. Great art, great design work, and very relatable. May or may not make a quick video on it. We'll see.

#PROTIP: #comics artist, to improve the clarity of your storytelling, make sure every scene has an establishing shot that shows us where all important characters and objects are in relation to each other. #makecomics

Work the phones, folks.

Great!

My creative career leapt forward as soon as I started doing instead of stockpiling plans and looking for the 'right' moment to start. There is no inevitable success, but improvement and personal satisfaction comes from doing and building those habits.

I was just reminded about what a wonderful creator and person Dwayne McDuffie was. A truly rare talent who was able to work on characters that had been around for decades and simultaneously capture their voices while also defining them. He left us too young. I still miss him.

#PROTIP: #comics artist, to improve the clarity of your storytelling, give each panel nice, clean, and thick gutters between them. It allows the reader's mind to put one image away, and fill in the gap to the next very easily. #makecomics

As a former Marvel editor who worked on multiple takes on the Silver Surfer, I can't stress how difficult a character he is to really get right. If anyone can do it, Greg can do it. If any team can do it, this team can do it. I'll definitely be checking this out and you should, too! #comics

I used to give #comics #protip on Twitter several times a week. Turns out, I archived a bunch of them. Think I'll kick this back up if folks would like. #PROTIP: #comics artist, the #1 easiest thing you can do to improve the clarity of your storytelling is stick to a simple grid layout.

Just gave a 40 minute lesson online about One-Shot Comics and why they're powerful tools for newer creators to drive their comics career. Great questions from the audience, too! I always feel energized when I do these at www.ComicsExperience.com (and I think they got something out of it too). 😀

I cannot WAIT for you to read my new book - a chronicle of Doctor Strange's first 10 years, mixing comics history, East Village history, criticism, and memoir. And I'm honored to be in this group of writers, too. apnews.com/article/marv...

These types of orders, with animus towards whole groups you may not like, always wind up coming for you in the end. Today it's Trans people, tomorrow it's Blacks, then women, then Jews, the disabled, people who don't own land, didn't go to the right college, etc... They'll get to you eventually...

Look, things are bad. But comics are good. So I'm gonna share my comics starter packs again. Get some art in your timeline. First, here are a bunch of awesome creators I've collaborated with over the decades - in comics, film, theater, etc. go.bsky.app/LGPkfpQ

Started reading some banned graphic novels. Here’s a really good read that I can’t fathom how it got banned other than the main character just being Black. Which, right now seems to be enough…. Support authors and banned books, folks!

Thanks for the great review, @monkeysrobots.bsky.social ! @andy39a.bsky.social @rebervision.bsky.social monkeysfightingrobots.co/books-of-doo...

This will be really fun!
