Posting this on its own since I forgot all about it til recently. It’s a splash from the series COYOTES by esteemed writer @seanlewis.bsky.social for #ImageComics. My first published comic 💕

Caitlin was next level from the start.

writing is the act of making decisions. being brave enough to decide and go forward, knowing you'll have to fix it in the future. even if the future is years later.

I pitched this article off the cuff, and it turned into one of my favorites. Then I talked to both Sean and Jonathan about BPVQ here: unwinnable.com/2025/03/26/l... Still can't believe one of my favorite writers answered all my questions. I'll remember that forever.

How you have a comic career... 1. you don't worry about the trends or anything people tell you, you should be doing. If you want longevity... stay out of the social circles and the gossip. Have a POV. Every book I've done. Since the first: www.pastemagazine.com/comics/why-a...

Double page spread from Bliss, written by @seanlewis.bsky.social for Image Comics ✨

"Essential reading for fans of Saga, Sandman, or Monstress.... With Sean Lewis’s gut-punch storytelling and Caitlin Yarsky’s stunning artwork, Bliss earns its place among the greats." Great books never die. #comics #imagecomics @caitlinyarsky.bsky.social www.nag.co.za/2025/10/02/p...

IYKYK "Of the comics that have entered my collection in the last year, I’ve certainly returned to Bear Pirate Viking Queen the most... Bear Pirate Viking Queen is a beautiful, brutal, gut-punch of a book." #COMICS #comic #imagecomics mattreadscomics.com/2025/08/19/b...

"Technology is just a tool. Human beings still do the heavy lifting." This week is a big one! Thumbs by @seanlewis.bsky.social & @cleanlined.bsky.social Grab a copy and read along, then tune in for our discussion as our summer of social media books continues! linktr.ee/storiedarcs

the brilliance of bsky from the developers was creating a twitter where no one shares anything. just content with no rot for the user. kinda fascinating.

really having some interesting talks with places about what comics could be. which is a loaded sentence. and is connected how influx of cash from the outside often can eat industry from the inside. (1/?)

interesting bear pirate viking queen conversations with me and Jonathan. Could be some interesting stuff happening there.

just finished a short story of XO Manowar. Been holding back from comics of late. But loved XO as a kid. Spawn. XO. Superman. Batman. Harley. Been a fun run of characters I've gotten to write the past few years.

BEAR PIRATE VIKING QUEEN (Lewis, Marks, Barravecchia), "become what you are", which means spilling blood for empire, sinking ships in conquest, a gorgeous hallucinatory manifest of strength + will, w art you can submerge yourself in. Highly recommended.

Please consider voting for the exceptional BEAR PIRATE VIKING QUEEN team for their stunning work. @ringoawards.bsky.social It would mean a lot!

The question might be across journalism as a whole. The purpose of journalism in the early days was to uncover, expose, discover... most journalism does not. Much of it amplifies brands and businesses. That will never be the most interesting thing about anything anyone covers.

I just wrote about BEAR PIRATE VIKING QUEEN from @imagecomics.com over at @unwinnable.com Still really stoked about how I structured this one. Ending on that incredible quote from @seanlewis.bsky.social is still so cool. unwinnable.com/2025/03/26/l...

This week on the Half Evil Comics YouTube channel, I did my yearly State of the Comics/Film & TV Union fireside chat with my dear old friend/former NYU roommate Sean Lewis (King Spawn). It's an incredible conversation. Be sure and give it a gander: YouTube.com/@halfevicomics

Bear Pirate Viking Queen was really a fun read so I highly recommend checking this out.

The Dstllry books, Batman/Dylan Dog, White Trees, Barnstormers, Black Canary, Bear Pirate Viking Queen…i can’t be the only one loving the sizes of these comic releases???

Bear Pirate Viking Queen. Some of the coolest art I've seen in a comic ever!

Review: BEAR PIRATE VIKING QUEEN #1 Demands To Be Experienced

ICYMI: "Bear Pirate Viking Queen does not work like a typical comic. It’s not ‘plot’ based. It’s theme-based." Feature Excerpt: @nyaliss.bsky.social talks to the creators of Bear Pirate Viking Queen, a watercolor-based comic that stands out from typical fare:

a great article about BEAR PIRATE VIKING QUEEN. check it out. unwinnable.com/2025/03/26/l...

All my comic book people, please read this article I wrote about Bear Pirate Viking Queen from @imagecomics.com I spoke to @seanlewis.bsky.social and Jonathan Marks Barraveccia about the creation of one of 2024's most interesting comics!!

burgeoning writer to check out... kck.st/4iXhKZn

I got to write about BEAR PIRATE VIKING QUEEN by @seanlewis.bsky.social and Jonathan Marks Barraveccia. They told me about the creation of the comic and about their careers. Yes, it's behind a paywall, but you're supporting an excellent indie publication. @unwinnable.com rules!!

might be too real but in response to the dustin Nguyen post. The greatest magic trick corporations pulled off was getting their consumers to defend them relentlessly. Dismissing usury, theft, predatory behavior as "well you need them so fuck you."

the exhaustion of chasing down money. comics gonna comics. if this was my main gig it'd be torch time.

My year wrap up! I’m pleased with my variety.

Finished Bear Pirate Viking Queen today. Created by @seanlewis.bsky.social and Jonathan Marks Barravecchia, published by @imagecomics.bsky.social. It has a compelling story and incredible artwork. Definitely something to check out if you want to read something a little different.

GROUNDBREAKING NEW COMICS READING APP, SWEET, SET TO LAUNCH THIS SUMMER WITH IMAGE COMICS TITLES AMONG FIRST AVAILABLE OFFERINGS @sweetdotdev.bsky.social imagecomics.com/press-releas...

still don't know what the fuck bluesky is. don't know what comics are either. which is fun. I do know nostalgia waves are usually precarious. good news for some of the weirdos out there dreaming up shit no one has seen. #comics

SUCH A BEAUTIFUL ONE. WHAT A WAY TO OPEN A BOOK.

Just remembering that time I put someone who looks like *someone* in @seanlewis.bsky.social’s and my comic Bliss from Image Comics, and maga folks were havin biiiig feelings about it lol

Love the French love for THUMBS!!! Lotta articles and posts lately on the back catalog. Check it out! Amazing work with @cleanlined.bsky.social , @caitlinyarsky.bsky.social and Ben Mackey!!!! #comics #comic

"Top Comics of the year... this book so impressed me. It's so dense. You feel like you're sucked into a world. This book is locked into being its own vision. It's not trying to be anything else, it's just the best there is at what it does." BEAR PIRATE VIKING QUEEN www.youtube.com/watch?v=yINX...

Another year end list. If you slept on BEAR PIRATE VIKING QUEEN... Maybe you shouldn't have? "If you want a brilliant artistic comic that wows on every page, this is it." #comics #imagecomics gatecrashers.fan/2024/12/23/m...

#2 Bear Pirate Viking Queen by Sean Lewis & Jonathan Marks Barravecchia Only on occasion does something like a movie, album, or book linger in my head like a type of hypnosis. This may be 3 issues but it is **dense**. It’s like an arthouse film put to page with gorgeous and abstract watercolor art.

Why not pick up some of what Charlie is putting down... a slept on book. but a lot of responses like this. #comics #imagecomics

Lotta articles like this. www.vox.com/culture/2024... Don't build a personal brand. Build a personal you. Everyone else has a newsletter doesn't mean you do. An older comic creator behaves like PT Barnum... you don't have to join the circus. Life is fucking short. And no one knows shit. do you

everything kinda sucks. self marketing is nonsense. critic sites have sunk down. no one knows what makes a success. which means... it's a great time to do something interesting. 2025 should be yours. fuck everyone's advice. be the revolution. #film #publishing #comics #art #movies

wack
