getting aidan and brendon to letter billy bat is the biggest slam dunk in manga localization history. no one could’ve done it better 👏

Andy Merrill (Brak) is an Amazon delivery driver. Carey Means (Frylock) got CHF from/exacerbated by COVID & was recently working as a restaurant dishwasher. C. Martin Croker (Zorak) died of sepsis from an infected tooth he couldn't afford to get treated. Capitalism destroys both art & artist.

There’s a tip button on his website www.careymeansfrylock.com

Dragon Ball Z Episode 30

Saw this on FB. If you’ve ever enjoyed Aqua Teen, please help if you can. Someone who’s such an integral part of one of Adult Swim’s most beloved shows deserves much better than this.

Billy Bat volume 1 is out in English now! It's my favorite comic ever, and I'm so grateful that I get to letter this edition alongside @lettererbrendo.bsky.social. We literally fantasized for years about stylistic choices we would make if we ever got to letter it, and I want to share about those!

The funniest thing I’ve ever found on the sidewalk.

I’m sorry but I’m getting tired of watching shows that have like 8 episodes and expect me to remember the entire plot after making a new season every…3 years. We are in hell😐.

I’m gonna say something controversial, yet brave: I think Rick & Morty is ✨still good✨.

Bugs Bunny at the Symphony FINALLY came to my area and I had a real blast!!Can’t wait for it to hopefully come back and have another LOONEY time!

The Boys was a real wild ride. Good finale.

Sad to see that Yuji Ohno has passed away, but he left behind such an amazing library of music. The Lupin theme is easily one of the most iconic and memorable pieces of music ever created and will be listened to by myself and many others across the world for years to come. RIP.

Something new is coming to Mondays 👀 Starting on May 18, #MangaMavericksMonday, we’ll be spotlighting an exciting new manga license, upcoming release, or special announcement from Manga Mavericks Books. Stay tuned — next Monday’s reveal is almost here.

Ted Turner is exclusively the only billionaire I’m okay with mourning. Cartoon Network and its many shows are too important to me not to. So long, Captain Planet. RIP. 🙏❤️

The Sonic movies are so weird to me because I feel like they all are about the same level of quality. Like they plateaued early on and just kind of…stay around there.

Searching for oneself is like walking down an uncharted and ever-shifting road. Ball and Chain by Minami Q-ta is a wonderful companion for the good days and the harder ones. Preorder today: buff.ly/7mEPCHk

it’s such a CRIME how much the Pluto anime got overlooked because Netflix didn’t promote it at all it’s eight movie quality episodes of an AMAZING and relevant sci-fi story with the most stacked staff list you’ve ever seen if you didn’t watch Pluto when it came out, there’s no better time than now

trash man cool down

🎉 1 year of Manga Mavericks Books 🎉 We turned our first year into a grid — now we want to hear from you. Which title would you choose? 👀 Thanks for being part of the journey. #MangaMavericksBooks

It’s been a year already? Feels like it was only a day ago when we and our partners at Manga Mavericks decided to seriously go into publishing. Like most roller coaster rides it’s been simultaneously terrifying, too fast, and fun. The best part? We’re only getting started.👀

One year of Manga Mavericks Books. From our first releases to everything we’ve shared since, none of this would be possible without your support. Thank you for reading, sharing, and believing in us. Here’s to what comes next. #MangaMavericksBooks

When you look up to the sun to finally get that fucking sneeze out that's been teasing for the last 20 seconds

We’ve never been so back.

Bruce is ready to play.

Conservatism is wrong. All forms of it, all expressions of it. There is no healthy compromise with it. It is – inherently – a negative. Stop acting as if it is a reasonable, valuable belief system. It inherently devalues / alienates all deviant speech and ideology. It is anti-human.

Heard about Fate Rewinder. Can’t wait to check it out. 👀

I cannot wait to check out both of these!! Not only am I glad that we’re doing something samurai-related, I’m also glad that we’re releasing something from Minami Q-ta. Great titles all around!

LICENSE ANNOUNCEMENT: Ball & Chain by Minami Q-ta A powerful queer story about identity, expectations, and breaking free from the roles society assigns. Two adults at different stages of life begin to question the paths they’ve been told to follow. Coming to English in 2-in-1 omnibus editions.

LICENSE ANNOUNCEMENT: Oni & Dawn: Bakumatsu High School Girls by Hana Ikuta ( @iktaa222.bsky.social ) A dramatic GL story where legendary samurai are reborn as high school girls, navigating modern life, past regrets, and forbidden love. School is in session — but romance is strictly off-limits.
