Editorial cartoon: Don't bread on me. Enjoy :)

All right then, comics Bluesky @davescheidt.com @joeyesposito.bsky.social

Uhhh my music app just randomly started playing the funeral march and I feel it is a portent

I didn't take photos at the Thorns game just now, but a solid weekend for Portland sports and also sunsets

Reilyn Turner: “She is very encouraging. She helps us stay calm. And her distribution is like no other.” #baonpdx

So you're saying there's a chance #rctid

TIMBERS!!! Man we love to make it hard on ourselves hahaha #rctid

World Series is setting a precedent here. Extra time for everyone!!!!

Who is the ref tonight, Drew Fischer?

For the final time in Year 50, it's a Portland Timbers home game. #RCTID

Our next live game play/comics launch is coming up, this time for D&D! If you'll be in Portland, hope to see you there:

Got Neal to make a skeksi from the Dark Crystal, which we've talked about forever. Next up, I will become a gelfling with my fizzgig! Happy Halloween - thanks to our friend Rich for the video

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! She's not the monster, but her enemies are! Available where every books and comics are sold! From Dark Horse Comics!

Follow the Stranger Things crew as they discover the legendary monsters and epic adventures of Dungeons & Dragons together in the new Stranger Things and Dungeons & Dragons Library Edition, available next May! Details: https://bit.ly/3Jyqoke

Coming to you in Feb is the 2nd installment of Magic the Gathering: Untold Stories from @darkhorse.com! Written by @michaelwconrad.bsky.social, myself on pencils/inks, colors by Alex Guimarães and letters by @claytoncowles.bsky.social I told y’all I was workin on stuff I couldn’t show! :)

The creative lineup (look at all these names! ⬇️), the characters with names like Crab Louie... this anthology of Minor Threats shorts is delightful.

If you see this, post one--ONE!--vampire that isn't Dracula. Ah ah ah

Because people think you're a bitch if you don't. See also: add emoticons, softening qualifiers, and any other happy-go-lucky, no-worries-if-not! flair.

Teasers, as for media like comics, games, etc., actually take a lot of work and collaboration, and they're certainly not something that HAS to be done. They're also primarily done FOR fans, so the vitriol from some is... off-putting.

Haunted house 👻

Monks drawing animals they've never seen except it's Spirit Halloween trying to avoid being sued for unlicensed D&D (and everything else) products

We can finally talk about it! More Magic comics--next up is JACE by an awesome and largely local team 💙

A more realistic look at Portland. And a point that I think is fair: "Portland as a city has problems in the way that every large American city has problems." It's not war-ravaged, but it isn't perfect. And no, we aren't all "Portlandia" caricatures. I'm a PDX native and I'm tired of that narrative.

The most important thing here is that this takes, folks. It's Matt Berry! #falloutday

Happy #FalloutDay! Don't forget to join the waitlist for the upcoming Mr. Handy “Snip-Snip” Statue from @darkhorsedirect.bsky.social! Details: bit.ly/42WyHwZ Limited to just 500 units, this statue features 7 authentic audio tracks and more.

I didn't know Guy Fieri played for RSL.

Smokey and the Bandit costumes for Halloween this year? Hmmmm I do love a good drag costume/excuse to wear a mustache

Joe Bob book launch events: success! At @hollywoodtheatre.org and @moviemadness.org

Divided Ninth Circuit panel stays injunction against President Trump’s federalization of National Guard troops in Portland: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... Judge Graber, who is no firebrand, wrote quite a dissent—encouraging en banc review and some patience on the part of the public:

The mental gymnastics people perform when things aren't going their sports team's way are remarkable. It's the refs! Opposing team are professional divers! Everything is a foul/should be a stronger penalty! Absolutely nothing wrong w/my own team! (This also applies to non-sports, of course)

Nine Inch Nails “Art is Resistance” flyer (2007), with some thoughts on what it means today that came up in my recent Q&A. #NoKings ✊

Made some fun signs. Good job, again, Portland #nokings

I got a surprise at the office this week: Diana Schutz sent me flowers just for presenting the acceptance of the Harvey Award for Blacksad again this year. Very sweet, it's my pleasure to help with! (Bonus Eltingville cameo in the background, yes)

Repost with your favorite Halloween costume One of my actual faves is my Ripley (Alien) costume, but I can't find a pic of that right now. I love Halloween costumes! Nadja/WWDITS, Ashe when BlizzCon landed on Halloween, Malory Archer, street wear Carol Danvers with Goose and my Jen Bartel art ✨

I took very, very few photos at NYCC, oops, but it was busy!

KARE 11 Investigates: Postal worker died after police mistook stroke for drug impairment. Kingsley Bimpong was jailed instead of hospitalized; video shows guards ignored his suffering for hours www.kare11.com/mobile/artic...

Feeling a 1 today

I thought I was the only Mariners fan at this NYC bar but nope!

Harveys are heavy

Every year, I enjoy this Halloween house by my hotel for NYCC

October is a big month! Out of Alcatraz collected hardcover comes out on October. 21st. And then the trade paperback Complete Harrow County comes out on October. 28th. Two of the best things I ever worked on.

Pak explains how his own Dungeons & Dragons campaign influenced this story of adventurers challenging what heroism means

After a break for FREE HOT DOGS! (Thanks @thelabpress.bsky.social) and a massive Jim Lee signing, @darkhorse.com is up with Cara O'Neill and Stuart Schreck. New Lara Croft series written by Casey Gilley coming in '26. Also American Caper, a major launch. Backlit hour is here.

ECTO-1 early to #NYCC

If you did Blue Book from Dark Horse Comics, Red Book is the Russian side of the coin with unexplained possibly cosmic occurrences from there starting with Tunguska. Super creepy back up stories continue. Its still @jamesthefourth.bsky.social & @oeming.bsky.social too!

Missed regular D&D tonight, but for a good cause. In NY for a wedding! #criticalrolelive

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..” @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I leave for New York in a few hours, before dawn here. Heeere we go! Panels: www.newyorkcomiccon.com/en-us/guests... Plus Critical Role events, Retailer Day presentations, Harvey Awards, hopefully seeing many friends
