My convenient @bookshop.org list of Eisner-winning books about comics is now updated with this year's additions! #SDCC #SDCC2025 #EisnerAwards

I gotta start taking more selfies with people, I think it may be 1/3 of self promotion.

This graphic novel by @maassive.bsky.social and @plutarian2.bsky.social, based on a chamber opera written in a concentration camp, is terrific: a surreal story of defiance in the face of totalitarianism, told with wit and heart.

Outstanding panel on Dark Horse’s 2024 graphic novel “Death Strikes: The Emperor of Atlantis” by Dave Maass and Patrick Lay (pictured) at SDCC.‬ ‬ @plutarian2.bsky.social ‬‬@maassive.bsky.social

@plutarian2.bsky.social and I are supremely grateful to Andy Konopak, Hannah Benson and Alice Del Simone for lending their voices and passion to our panel.

I'm waiting to board for #sdcc and here's the thing: Godzilla in Minus One is not a metaphor for survivors guilt. That's the straight up text of the movie. The metaphor is self-annihilation, particularly militarized self-annihilation. I'm tired.

One of the things no one tells you in undergrad is eventually "research" becomes reading a thousand things you already know on the chance there's something in there you don't.

Catch @maassive.bsky.social and I on Friday from 12p-12:50, signing Death Strikes and being charming!

I'm pleased to announce that I will be teaching Comics & Narrative Practice full-time at Columbus College of Art & Design. The Comic program here is incredible, built w/care & passion by @laurennmcc.bsky.social and stewarded by equally passionate faculty. Most importantly; our students are the best.

In 2010 I posted "Judy Dench would kick your ass for a nickel" through Facebook for Zune and that's basically primary source now, you know?

I gotta do more blusking. On this blsky app. To remind the algorithm that I am alive. All the people more or less still know.

a jrpg is like a rpg only it’s all in jpgs

I had, what I can only describe as a stress dream, where I finally decided to play my vinyl copy of Pet Sounds (that took me 10 years to find) and I grabbed the wrong record by accident. God, what a stupid dream.

Butch Guice on Ruse was one of the books that made me really want to understand how comics were made.

April catalog underdog! If you haven’t checked out Michael Grover’s Eisner and Harvey Award nominated animated webcomic Deeply Dave, it’s absolutely delightful and it’s being made into a graphic novel. deeplydave.com

The closest you will find me to indulging in nostalgia is fantasizing about a world where Edward Gorey was just an active illustrator and a Way the Illustrations Could Look.

I haven't mentioned it here much, but there is an awesome Backerkit for The Adventures of Lion Man, one of the first Black superheros in American comics, and it's closing soon! Back it at the link! @rosariumbill.bsky.social @johnjennings.bsky.social David Brame Damian Duffy Yvette Lisa Ndlovu

Wut

me, 70% of the way through pencils, every time: oh!! i think i remember how to draw!!!

I don't know where to put this feeling: I love that college athletes can finally get paid for the revenues they create from their effort. I hate that higher education integrity is being assailed while they continue to operate a semi-professional minor league sports operation.

It is beyond my understanding how many industry events do not prominently display where the event takes place. Like...the physical location, city, state, so basic and weirdly so hard to find. Just tell me your event is in Connecticut --hell, put it on every page, why not?

Trump claims to be committed to ‘free speech,’ but we’ve quickly discovered that pledge doesn’t apply to higher education and now, PSLF. He wants to impose an ideological litmus test antithetical to American values and contrary to the statute at hand. @rweingarten.bsky.social @thesbpc.bsky.social

i think we should publish webtoons as scrolls

We are trapped in the belly of this horrible machine and the machine is bleeding to death.

A library near me did Batcat as one of their Graphic Novel Club reads and then made it into a life size board game?? Complete with an ACTUAL cave and mountain?? They had to collect secret ingredients to make a potion to win??? Everyday is the best day when you make comics for kids
