My latest at @comicsjournal.bsky.social - a trip back to the '90s and early '00s, talking with Robb Horan about keeping the legacy of Drew Hayes and Poison Elves alive. Drew was one of a kind, and working with him sounds like it was a wild ride indeed. Give it a read. www.tcj.com/he-led-a-big...

Bryan Talbot has been dubbed the “David Bowie of Comics” by his esteemed peers, recently opted to return to his acclaimed Grandville series, a steampunk anthropomorphic detective-mystery saga. The Comics Journal recently published a smashing new interview with him www.tcj.com/ill-probably...

One of my favorite things to share is a picture of well loved books. These are a few of mine. Seeing yours would be a nice pick me up today.

"Consider how THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS revolves around vision. Not only perception, but empathy and hindsight, and the non-empirical prick of intuition, where vision exceeds the reach of training."

We're thrilled to be publishing the first full length fiction graphic novel by @acmedarryl.bsky.social. A scientist races against a god‑killing cult, cosmic collapse, and his witch‑queen ex‑wife to save creation — even if it costs him the person he loves most. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ave...

HOW TO DODGE A CANNONBALL Denard Dayle Satire set during the Civil War. A bold book, that’s at times shockingly funny.

If you ever wondered what it was like to make a slasher movie in the early-mid '80s, then this 1984 New York Times article is a fascinating snapshot of that time. Specifically, SILENT MADNESS (in 3D). (1/3)

I reviewed Kylie Lee Baker's Japanese Gothic, a gorgeous, unexpected book (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/b...

“For this talented postwar writer, noir constituted the twisted literary progeny of Marx and Freud, thus providing a uniquely powerful means of depicting the nightmare that shadows the American dream.”

Been working my own version of the program. I'm now up to step 9 where I go around and demand apologies from everybody who pissed me off when I was drinking.

A VIOLENT MASTERPIECE by @jordanharper.bsky.social is out today. This is THE great LA noir of the 21st century. It's a work of gorgeous aesthetics, thrilling storytelling, and devastatng moral clarity. And of bloodied hope. It's Jordan's best novel. And it's the best novel you'll read this year.

The final Fiffe Files on Keith Giffen is here! This series was a thing I had to get off my chest and share with the world. Came out exactly how I envisioned it: direct, raw, super thorough, off the cuff, non-scripted, warts and all. Thanks for joining me in my obsessive mission: youtu.be/LXYkbH1x7iE

The Friends of Eddie Coyle (1973, Peter Yates) #TitleCardTuesday #filmsky Alex Rocco intro'd Robert Mitchum to Howie Winter, who was the second boss of the Winter Hill Gang, to help Mitchum research his role as Eddie Coyle. Steven Keats, a theater actor was cast at the last minute as Jackie Brown

Arguably, the most iconic (and controversial) song Asha Bhosle sang was Dum Maro Dum, depicting the burgeoning hippie culture of 70s India. The song came just 3 years after The Beatles' famous visit to India. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOrR...

hi, cis folks! it’s been a little over a month since the 2 biggest private hospitals in NYC ended trans youth care. some folks thought this was resolved with a judge’s ruling or a letter from the NYAG. care has *not* resumed! there’s a simple ask ⬇️ for you, if you’re willing to fight with us. 🧵

Salute to a man who was probably the single most important studio engineer of my most formative years and beyond. He shaped sound, sharpened samples and varnished vocals. Tribe, De La, The Roots, Badu, D’Angelo and too many more. A true wizard. RIP Bob Power. 🕊️
