Friends in NYC, a friend's relative has gone missing. Last seen in East Flatbush, as I understand it. Could you share this? It's important. ❤️

THIS SUNDAY @fredvanlente.bsky.social and I will be doing a signing at this store, one of my favorite comic shops on the planet! Come get some cool comix and check out Zeke's hard work in person! It's going to be fun and it all kicks off July 19 at 4pm! www.escapepodcomics.com

I moved to NYC with @ryandunlavey.bsky.social & pals to break into comics because in 1995 this was where the industry was. Now, DC & Marvel are gone, along with many others--Valiant and a half-dozen more I could name. But I'm still here. Nothing personal, Pittsburgh, I'm staying

This week's comic pick is "Vampyrates" by @fredvanlente.bsky.social, @lukapiz.bsky.social, & Adam Guzowski by @boom-studios.com. Thumbs up for story, art, & coloring. www.youtube.com/live/lTN0nk6... #comicbookschool #vampyrates @mikefasolo.bsky.social @deannadestito.bsky.social

Sell your book in five words “Best comic out this year”

Was at a hobby store earlier and heard a mom say with utmost sincerity to her pre-teen son, "I know the characters you like. Look! There's MODOK, on his little toilet." I felt the boy's life force withering and dying on the spot as he, "Mooooooooom, that's NOT a toilet"ed her. Love a family moment.

I feel worthless today, so opening my comp of Vampyrates #1 was heartening. The ads in the backmatter are like "you should read this comic Jodie lettered, or maybe this comic Jodie lettered, or maybe this comic Jodie lettered, or maybe this comic Jodie lettered." My life is honestly blessed.

"Vampyrates #1 marks a bold and bloody debut, crafting a world that readers will get lost in while also providing plenty of swashbuckling and bloodsucking action." @boom-studios.com @fredvanlente.bsky.social #comicsky Read @cjwritesstuff.bsky.social's review:
