Normally I do a full article in my favorite graphic novels I read each year, but there wasn’t time. So here’s screenshots of a note 😅😍

"Your writing is just really boring and unoriginal." -- couched as constructive criticism by a fellow writer who was very drunk at barcon. He's a very big name in the industry now and I am not, SOOOOOOOOO...

You can pickup three issues of my new ongoing series with @morganbeem.bsky.social, The Author Immortal, right now at your local comic shop or digital. A beautiful watercolor portal fantasy that explores death of the author, identity, and what happens when you outgrow stories that raised you.

🐢🔥 TMNT Tuesday #40 brings an exclusive first look at Battle Nexus #2, featuring Mirage Shredder vs. @idwpublishing.com Leo 🤯 PLUS: new #TMNT #14 color page, TMNT x #Godzilla #2 preview, and Shredder #4. @danpgwatters.bsky.social @paulallor.bsky.social @hackintimseeley.bsky.social 👉 Don’t miss it:

My friend's three-year-old daughter just rolled in wearing a dress she got at her dad's Christmas. We said "that's an awesome dress!" and she said, "thanks, it has pockets!" Gender norms are real.

IS TED OK? has reached that supremely awkward time in its release/ordering schedule where issue 2 has been solicited well before issue 1 has dropped. It's just the way it is--obviously if you read the issue description you might have some plot stuff spoiled. It's a banger, though.

I just watched The Housemaid and I don't think I have ever seen a movie that treated its audience as if they were that fucking stupid. Everything had to be foreshadowed at least four times and explained at least eight times.

I was trying to figure out how this pun related to laser tag until I realized part of the R was just broken off.

Do you write about comics? If you do, you should consider applying to the Comics Criticism Mini Grant. All you need are two clips published over the past year. It is a very simple application! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

What the $%#& did I just read? These people need help. Bring back the Comics Code." – @tatebrombal.bsky.social This book could necessitate the reintroduction of CCA...so preorder THE FLORIDA HIPPOPOTAMUS COCAINE MASSACRE from @madcavestudios.com today!!! LINK: madcavestudios.com/news/these-h...

Family portrait that I made for someone in my life for Christmas. Them and their three kids. I wish their middle child wore glasses or, like, always wore an n95 mask everywhere, that'd be cool. But we work with what we have. At least his hair is dyed blue.

⚡️MARVEL RIVALS INFINITY COMIC # 35 & 36 IS LIVE #marvelrivals

Wemby out here shooting threes like a seven and a half-foot Reggie Miller

Marvel Rivals Infinity Comic #1 came out a year ago today! Here's every cover so far.

Maybe the real Trump Derangement Syndrome was the friends we made along the way.

It means the world to us if you consider checking it out in single issue form. Please tell your retailer you want the book and make sure it's being pulled. There are A LOT of comics on the shelves, and those of us on the smaller side need every order we can get.

I'll be real -- it's tough to keep people excited about an ongoing series past the issue #1 hype. Coverage dies down, people shed off, and it generally feels like you're screaming into the void. The Author Immortal is a book I care about deeply, and star-making work from @morganbeem.bsky.social

The Author Immortal #3 has this absolutely stunning variant from @saitattoo.bsky.social as well! Her first comic work! Hunt one down tomorrow at your local comic shop! Only from @imagecomics.com and logo by @sievish.bsky.social!

ICYMI earlier, our book cover has been revealed! Plus our synopsis and some new interior art!

Despite the (albeit fantastic) title, "Eight Vengeful Nights" actually has a surprisingly (for EC!) uplifting ending. May it be a much-needed message of hope for bridging differences and renouncing violence in favor of generosity and empathy.

In light of recent events, I feel it's important to share some Jewish pride and joy and express how deeply meaningful it felt to get to include a Chanukah story in our EC holiday special, Shiver SuspenStories 2 #1. Thanks to Ben H. Winter and @sami-kivela.bsky.social for making my dreams come true!

All the people excited about Deadpool popping up in the marvel rivals infinity comic are missing the big news: Millie the Model is there, too!!!! Will she be a playable character*? Who knows! *no

Ok, Catholic priests are not allowed to found or shut down their own churches, or leave their churches for their grandchildren, or or or Rian Johnson is basically writing about an independent protestant church, but he wanted the weight and tradition of Catholicism. The result is so goofy.

Found out today that i'm doing a licensed book with an artist whose work i've admired for years.

The Podcast Industrial Complex

The internet says a blood oxygen level of 88 percent requires immediate medical attention but what's like...the REAL number?

How can I get Quentin Tarantino to publicly call me the worst comics writer working today...

Ah. I see people are learning about how the Superhero-Industrial Complex actually works. Might I recommend a book that tells you how we got to this terrible state of affairs? josie.zone/true-believer

I have never played Marvel Rivals, but I read all the Infinity Comics because @paulallor.bsky.social writes them and they're super fun. Every issue makes me laugh.

Oh, lord, I thought about this so so so much and ultimately decided that even though of course he would write "the," etc, reading a letter without the accent would pull more readers out of the narrative than the opposite.

Gambit is a deeply unserious man (Marvel rivals infinity comic 31)

Everyone in the comments was like "FAFO" and "Darwin Awards, hyuk hyuk hyuk." Jesus Christ, this unkind world can wear you down.

Pro tip? (I don't tell my students the last part)

50?!?

Am I doing this meme right?

Bending over backwards to tell her how she can maintain her hateful views in the future but add enough empirical structure to pass. But of course it fell on deaf ears, because that wasn't the student's intent. She wanted to fail so she could cry victim and start grifting.

I wish I could've sat on the meeting where they decided to name him Waluigi instead of Wuigi.

"Indianans."

Ya'll ain't gonna believe this, but I just found out the brothers who make Stranger Things and the brothers who direct the Avengers movies are different brothers.

I'm a "prefer zero conversation" Uber rider trapped in a "no preference" body, because I don't want a random stranger whom i'm paying to think I'm an asshole

PS Marvel Rivals: The Cites of Heaven is out Jan. 7 and is also all about Luna Snow, so pick it up, too. Or BETTER, visit your comic shop 2 weeks in a row!

Watching a tv show as research for a licensed comic and I wrote these notes a couple minutes from each other. When this book is announced i'll let you know what character this is, and people who are familiar with the show will laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh.

Also my book is on sale for 54% off right now, which is nice. Spend all that money you’re saving on Fetterman’s crap and buy my better crap twice. a.co/d/2ENJpEY

Marvel might not approve her, but I created a new character today named "Tiger's Timid Cousin," which is a very good name, good job, me.
