Years ago I frequently shared comic industry job openings on my social media under the hashtag hashtag #ComicJobs. I realize I haven't done that in a while, but I should restart it. Now, I'm doing it over at Popverse. Please reshare, and tell me any jobs I missed in the comments over there!

I am just 40 subscribers away from ✨doubling✨ my readership in 2025. Sure would be neat to hit that milestone before the year ends! Any sub, free or paid, counts toward that number. No spam, pinky promise 🖤 www.picketywitch.com

Still thinking about the time someone with a large audience screenshotted and tweeted an article I wrote about the Eisners eliminating the comics journalism category with a caption that there was no comics journalism.

Harrison Bader is an Art Guy. He's painted since he was kid, studied art history in HS, and goes to galleries in his free time. He paints "a lot" of portraits during the offseason (and used to during the season, too). "It gives me time to unplug from the world.” www.inquirer.com/phillies/har...

Memento Mori is now LIVE on Kickstarter! It's all about friendship and mortality my friends.

This book’s been doing everything you want an ongoing series to do as it hits the one-year mark: picking up steam, developing an exciting new world of martial-arts action and lore for the title character, and finding a confident groove. If you’ve slept on it, check it out.

As part of this, I'll be hosting a panel with Kickstarter CEO Everette Taylor and his team talking about comics + crowdfunding.

I am hearing of some significant layoffs at ComicBook.com in its editorial department, including of some tenured (and talented people) there. This comes exactly 12 months after it was sold by Paramount Global to Savage Ventures (Vice).

I am knee-deep in SDCC right now, but dreaming up NYCC plans. When I'm knee-deep in NYCC, I'll be dreaming up C2E2 & ECCC & Bookcon plans. When I'm knee-deep at C2E2 & ECCC & Bookcon, I'll be dreaming up SDCC plans.

The big news of SDCC 2025 for comics at least is this. Thank you, Jackie Estrada. You gave much more than you received, and you are leaving comics in a much better place than when you started.

Support in-depth comics journalism.

Reposting. Deadline is July 8.

Freelance ents. journalist gig alert: I'm looking for a freelance writer to cover Fan Expo Chicago (Aug. 15-17). This is to go to 2-3 panels per day, and write breakout stories based on what they say in a timely manner in consultation with myself (who will be working remotely). (1/4)
