To anyone reading this - we are ACTIVELY SEEKING someone to cover indie comics as a regular beat...but everyone is making 15 minute videos now and it's hard to get them to put down the camera. I get that we need both platforms. Anyway who wants to write about comics, DM me.

AND! IT'S! UP!

one of my favorite sketchbook comics, anime press conference

scheduled my webcomic to launch at midnight like a MORON and now I have to stay up late for it. why did I do this to myself

Hey...uh...happy pride..maybe help a very sick transmasc creator afford getting to extremely important doctor appointments this pride month? Is that like..okay to ask for. I dont do shit like this. Ive only ever posted my art on pride. Im sorry

I went back in my google docs and discovered the last time I tried to do a webcomic the time elapsed between me making a planning doc for it and posting the first episode was less than 1 calendar month. this one I have considered in slightly more depth than that.

LESS THAN 24 HOURS UNTIL MY WEBCOMIC DROPS! #webcomicpromo #ocsky #fragmentationcomic

The one and only @shaenon.bsky.social took an in-depth look at Mars (the manga by Fuyumi Soryo, not the planet)

2 days left until my webcomic drops! #ocsky #webcomics

This! Also shorter-form work (like minicomics) is a great way to learn your craft and build an audience. I say this all the time in mentoring calls. Start there before you launch yourself into your magnum opus GN.

Three days left until my webcomic drops!!!

Would you join a Patreon sticker club for $8 a month where you get 3 new stickers mailed to you every other month? Asking for a dad.

Artist and author Marjane Satrapi has passed away.

I saw Marjane Satrapi speak about her work at Smith College 19 years ago, and she said something I have thought about and taught ever since when I teach comics. “I draw what I can’t write and I write what I can’t draw.“

four days left until my webcomic drops! #webcomics #ocsky

FIVE DAYS LEFT UNTIL MY WEBCOMIC LAUNCHES!! GET HYPE #ocsky #webcomics

I Want To Make Yuri! 💜🖋️ (1/30) who is ready for some meta yuri shenanigans this pride month??? #iwanttomakeyuri #yuri #gl #sapphic #wlw #comic #4koma #yonkoma

To me, this is the most interesting box office story out of Japan so far this year. A movie comes out on Netflix, gets a planned 1-week theatrical run a month later, and ends up sticking around for 17 weeks, earning 2.5 billion yen.

Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈 HOTBLOOD! VOL. 2: THE VALLEY OF KINGS, the second issue in my series about gay centaurs in the Old West, is now available to preorder: bookshop.org/p/books/hotb...

moto hagio said you will have a horrible shrill little canonically nonbinary transmasc twink in space in [checks date] 1975 she said HOMOSEXUALS IN SPACE. im having an amazing time

Been trying to read some isekai lately.

update: kcomicsbeat.com/2026/05/21/w... Here's the article! I didn't end up using any direct quotes but I did add a few sentences about the Vibe Shift

Three Eisner nominations for Drome! Best Graphic Album - New, Best Writer/Artist, and Best Coloring. Thanks so much to the shops and fans and people who have been so supportive and spread the word about this book! And the Eisner ballot just opened up!

I have a comic in the NIF marketplace this year! please check it out!

Starting shortly at 5PM!

I posted this on threads and then a guy asked me if I'd looked at the Wikipedia page for tapas and then linked me to... the comics beat... which is what I'm writing this article for... thank you I guess...

We are delighted to announce that applications for our third CAG Mini Grant are live! It's hard to make the comics YOU want to make when the cost of living keeps rising. So this Mini Grant is here to offer a little breathing room: groceries, childcare, whatever you need. forms.gle/J7V7frhTZvH7...

Do any webcomics elders want to talk to me about what tapas/tapastic/comicpanda was like when it first launched for a thing I would like to write?

Shelfdust has been nominated for Best Comics-Related Periodical/Journalism at this year's Eisner Awards: www.comic-con.org/awards/eisne...

AHH, looks like the news broke! I'm absolutely floored to announce that Keeping Time has been nominated for an Eisner Award this year...! It's so far beyond anything I envisioned for myself or this comic when I started it. Thank you to everyone who's supported me and this story. #KeepingTime

Gonna intro my new butch/femme comic Beast's Libation a bit. I wanted to write a love story that featured both an insane power imbalance and the feeling of having to hide yourself in order to be loved.

I have this weird suspicion that the webcomics/digital comics categories at the eisners are similar to the animation oscar in that everyone deciding what's nominated in those categories does not usually read what qualifies for those categories how are the same THREE SERIES nominated EVERY YEAR

Now feels like a good time to re-up my new starter pack. Follow these accounts, join their newsletters, do whatever you need to to keep in touch with their output. Small presses rely on loyal customers. go.bsky.app/C2tf7oZ

The key flaw in “let people enjoy things” is its acceptance of the idea that enjoyment is spoiled by criticism. If your enjoyment of something is ruined by someone else disliking it, that’s a character defect. You’re being a narcissistic child. Grow the fuck up.
