Thinking of doing a background...

My Mary Jane 60th anniversary variant for Amazing Spider-Man 34 Had a lot of fun on this one

In Comics Disassembled, I wrote about the things I liked or didn't like from the week of comics, including Midnight striking for Marvel, the Eisner nominations, baseball x manga, Giant Days going digest-sized, Judge Dredd being...good???, Kickstarter's adult turn (away), and more.

My thing with absolute batman is that it's really really good, but also I wish that the biggest groundswell of mainstream interest in comics to happen in abt 8 years wasn't because of a new batman comic

Are you a fan of the fictional character Hellboy? Would you like to learn about weird folktales of yore? If you answered yes to either of these questions and you have $5, I’ve got the podcast for you

Awful for everyone else involved in this project but this nomination needs to be removed from the Eisners shortlist immediately.

eisner thoughts in no particular order: - the Sina Grace/Ramon Villalobos/Arif Prianto story in Creepshow was snubbed - surprised to see the SIKTC one-shot nominated! let this be a sign that the series still has the juice - i hope this nomination gets more people to read FML. it's so so good

Inks from Issue 3 of DESTINATION KILL ✏️

OUT TODAY 🐧💊 Destination Kill from @joepalmerart.bsky.social & @oni-press.bsky.social hits shelves today. It's a relentlessly stylish book, plays like an animated series in your head, and I'm so jazzed to be able to contribute a variant for this one -

Tony Fucking Millionaire returns from the wilderness clutching a genuine masterpiece. I read the whole thing in a stupor and walked around the apartment in a daze. dude did not come to fuck around. all the great thema are present: alcoholism, physical comedy, the promise of hell. 😍

I lettered a LOT of stories in the most recent Hello, Darkness. Here are some highlights.

and colours!

“A decade ago Marvel was where most mainstream comic creators wanted to build careers, and now it is a place people go in the hopes that DC, Image, Boom, and Dark Horse will notice them.” For a while I've been observing this. Nice to know its not just me

Every issue of Absolute Martian Manhunter has at least one page that just floors me with its ability to juggle complexity and simplicity into some of the pinnacle of comics as a medium.

a lot of people have been subject to ridicule and shame because their favorite x-men character is Wolverine. To that I say make some room, I want to kick this nerd too

new SIKTC popped the fuck off

Today, @danthemcmahon.bsky.social is taking an early look at the new @darkhorse.com release DID YOU HEAR ABOUT MIMI GREEN? from @connorgoldsmith.bsky.social and @joshcornillon.bsky.social. Head to the link below for our full thoughts 🔗⬇️ gatecrashers.fan/2026/05/13/d...
