So excited to announce IDW's brand new CRIME imprint launching this year! Huge thanks to @forbes.com for making the grand reveal. Which book are you most excited for? www.forbes.com/sites/robsal...

👻 A haunting duet of romance, tragedy, and terror Tyler Boss & Martin Simmonds break down their bold new Phantom of the Opera adaptation, from gothic horror to emotional storytelling. @skybound.bsky.social @martinsimmonds.bsky.social @tylerboss.bsky.social #comicsky Read the interview:

The news is out in @publisherswkly.bsky.social! I am VERY excited to announce a new print comics publication - The Comics Staple, a monthly comics zine filled with reviews, recommendations, interviews and more. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/newsbrief...

Bleeding Hearts is a must buy, but also don’t miss out on Cyclops 1, or Absolute Wonder Woman Annual! Solid week of fun titles across the companies. Happy NCBD! youtube.com/shorts/Kijb_...

Go buy Bleeding Hearts 1 today. It’s funny and contemplative and gross and brutal in all the best ways; it drips with humanity. Excellent character design and art from Moran. Deniz Camp is on a can’t miss streak. Vertigo is BACK

Many ask this, so happy to say it plainly: Vertigo is the imprint for original creator-owned stories; Black Label is the imprint for DC's library of company-owned characters! Over the next couple years, the in-print back catalogue will reflect that. Full explainer here: www.dc.com/blog/2026-02...

Just had a lunch so good it fixed my back pain and recharged my social battery.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

It’s a marketing layup but I *LOVE* seeing DC promote non superhero comics to people through the Absolute line. Knowing the readership Absolute has brought in and attempting to capitalize on the opportunity that presents could be huge for the creator owned direct market.

Had a lovely Final Boss Comic Book Club tonight at the always incredible Artworks Trenton! They currently have 2 art shows hanging. Both are DOPE.

Pig Wife is weird and visually experimental and disturbing and kind of wonderful. Hell of a narrative ride, especially impressive as it’s the debut graphic novel from Abbey Luck. Check this out for some abduction/isolation horror and surreal dream sequences!

IS TED OK? Check out this new series from @davechisholmcomics.com & @madcavestudios.com! Preorder before 2/2/26 for your chance to win an exclusive sketch from series creator Dave Chisholm!! In stores 2/25/26

You may have seen the photograph: comic shop owner Greg Ketter, striding through smoke on his way to confront federal agents terrorizing his city. Today, the owner of DreamHaven books talks to @comicsjournal.bsky.social about art and community in Minneapolis. www.tcj.com/retail-thera...

I know I’m a mark for noir AND adventure so this was always gonna be a hype train I hopped on but folks, it’s really good. Really fuckin good. If you even kind of like these genres or have a fondness for Indiana Jones or Tomb Raider…don’t miss out on Peril of the Brutal Dark

Last day to have your comic shop preorder this is MONDAY Feb 2. This number really dictates the size of the stone that’s cast into the pond—it dictates the impact a comic series can have. The remaining 5 issues are ripples from this impact. So help me make this awesome book a huge boulder.

Madman energy with a Kirby/Scioli style and some wild neon coloring. Vibrant, bold, tragic goodness

Happy belated New Comic Book Day! New Bug Wars, a stack of Absolutes, Author Immortal 4 and Spirit of the Shadows 1 are what I’m most excited to check out this week, but also The Seasons vol 2 is out and so is the Spectrum Deluxe HC! COMICS!

This Alex Eckman-Lawn cover of The Author Immortal 4 goes so incredibly hard.

It’s the final stretch before FOC on Is Ted Ok? But you still have time to get your pulls in for issue 1 at @finalbosscomics.bsky.social which gets you entered to win this extra dope sketch courtesy of writer/artist Dave Chisholm!

The Ultimate Universe may be ending, but its power is about to spread into the #MarvelComics universe💥 REBORN: ULTIMATE IMPACT reveals how Miles Morales and the Origin Boxes reshape Marvel, from writer @christophcondon.bsky.social and artist Stefano Caselli. #comicsky #MilesMorales Details:

They say it’s the fastest sport on Ice

These are all so cool but I’m extra partial to the @finalbosscomics.bsky.social sketch! And if you pull/order Is Ted Ok? 1 from us, it could be yours!

This is authentic and by that I mean awful. Nostalgic!

We are very excited to have Kristen Gudsnuk in store today! Come check out Touched by a Demon and get your copy signed

Oligargle deez nutz is an all time great protest sign

"A Southern Gothic seance in ink and spite. Cajun noir at its finest." -Comicbookblock "The best new crime comic of the year." - Pornsak Pichetshote. To herald the release of the complete edition of THE VOICE SAID KILL, here's the first chapter - completely free. bindings.app/read/FXroaYec

They like cops so much that all we’re getting is cops. No roads, no bridges, no school funding, no culture money, just a bouquet of different types of cops

The Alvaro Martinez Bueno connecting covers for the Vertigo line rule

My favourite thing Chris has written, and my SECOND favourite thing @thatjacobphillips.bsky.social has drawn. 👀 Seriously though, this is next level stuff from a great comics duo. I absolutely love it. FOC is coming up, so preorder at your comic shops. VERTIGO IS BACK, BABY!!! 🔥

I post this every issue but Star Trek The Last Starship is real goddamn good

This Saturday! Where did the month go?!

Interview: Dave Chisholm on IS TED OK? The Beat sat down with Dave Chisholm to discuss his brand new dystopian comic series, IS TED OK?, published by Mad Cave

I've finally put my "Find Your Organizing Home in NYC" zine online in readable form with clickable links - check it out and GET HOOKED UP and ORGANIZED, friends! gregpak.net/2026/01/17/f...

@denizcamp.bsky.social and @stipanmorian.bsky.social are another dream team. Camp’s work is always amazing, and this might be my favorite debut issue from him. This is what Vertigo is, to me. This is my kind of comics. On FOC this week and everyone should be giving it a shot. PERFECT cliffhanger.

Begging all my music homies to use literally any other merch company. Wherever you are, there is a local screen printer or person with a button maker or sticker printer that will use that money in their community instead of to harm that community.

How is this the most spot on description I’ve heard

It’s finally back in stock!

Someone brought a cat in a backpack to the store today and I gotta say, best day ever

GenAi has NO place at Comicon, ESPECIALLY at art shows! By doing so Comic-con signals to older and newer generations of artists that their exploitation and replacement is worth putting on a pedestal.👎 Anyway here’s their email. Feel free to politely share thoughts: artshow @ comic-con.org

About to get annoyingly into minor league hockey

The tragic death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old mother fatally shot by ICE, shows that ICE can’t be reformed and must be abolished. I’ll be introducing the Abolish ICE Act as a step toward justice, accountability, and humanity in our immigration policy. Time to melt ICE.

Add Is Ted OK? to your pull list!!

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.
