Every year I try and post something along these lines. Anyone working on being a comic colorist feel free to reach out. To review work, portfolio, tips or any other queries related I might help with after 9-ish years working for most of the publishers. Happy to help out if I can.

My midweek blog, out now, leads on the @brokenfrontier.bsky.social Awards nominations and the Bernice documentary, plus all my other news! www.paulcornell.com/2026/01/awar...

Delighted to once again be featured in @irishexaminer.bsky.social’s annual round-up of the year’s best comics and graphic novel with Don O’Mahony spotlighting my and @marsisanartist.bsky.social’ Hit-Monkey story for Marvel: Black, White & Blood and Guts! www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/ar...

Now social platforms and AI men are pushing disconnection, shoving us into AI black boxes with humanlike bots to fawn and steer us, dissociating us from our own independent thinking, creativity, and choices of action. We're being isolated from our own agency as individuals and knowledge of self.

Whatever spin you may hear from politicians, there are only two actual positions on healthcare. “Universal healthcare that covers everybody,” or “we must protect the huge industry of insurance middlemen making money off of it.”

I don't care if you think that AI can do some really nifty things. It's being rammed down our throats by obscenely wealthy men who are also, obviously, both dangerously right-wing and mentally unstable, and no rational society should be allowing that to happen. End of discussion.

J'adore!!!

I said it before, will say it again -- generative AI fetishizes "ideas" while sneering at effort, execution, and education. That, despite Gen-AI being built on and out of other people's effort, execution and education.

Don’t kill the part of you that’s cringe. Kill the part that cringes.

You should write weird, human stuff as a fuck-you to AI and the awful world we live in, yes, but also because you will be changed and your life will be changed through allowing yourself to be vulnerable and uncomfortable in your art.

I fucking love memes you can understand through the language barrier, holy shit

Looking at the craft of this and honestly wondering what kind of a soulless person does it take to think AI should replace this beautiful process? I can't do this, but that doesn't mean I'm going to use AI. I'm going to marvel at the brilliance of people that can do this, and be thankful for them.

I call my fists Band and Wagon. Are we still doing this bit? Am I too late?

I loved this run. Darwyn Cooke was one of the very, very, very few artists that could be considered as a contender to do justice to Will Eisner's comics.

Return of Hit-Monkey! Go get it!

Words... They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos ...

This is amazing. Didn't want to wait for a bus, so stole one, drove to where he was going, left the bus on the street. Got a suspended sentence, and then a few weeks later ... stole a ticket machine from another bus?

I'm an "A.i." abolitionist. No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything. Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine. But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires? No.

It’s rather apt that the website that gave me my start in comics journalism ten years ago ends up being the one to preview my debut at Marvel. Get a sneak peak of what @marsisanartist.bsky.social and I have been working on below and grab a copy next week! monkeysfightingrobots.co/exclusive-pr...

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

Thirty years since the best reaction to losing a referendum was spoken! In 1995 one of No Divorce Campaign leaders Úna Bean Mhic Mhathúna,on leaving the RDS as the 15th amendment to allow divorce was passed,shouted to celebrating pro divorce campaigners,’Go way ye wife swappin' sodomites’!#speirgorm

At this point is is simply impossible to exaggerate how awful unchecked capitalism has made our everyday world.

I'm a huge Peanuts fan, but up to now, I never knew there was a Batman tribute to the novelist Snoopy story line. It's amazing.

Obviously these ads aren't running in Ireland/Europe, but the principle is the same. There are plenty of alternatives, and, incidentally, they almost all pay artists far more than Spotify does.

Reading some comics from @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social @streakofpith.bsky.social - Hannah Berry was not kidding about the 'existential terror'. This is a comic that is going to stay with me for a while. Incredible craft and execution as well, in just a handful of pages. Wow.

I liked that he hated immigrants, but never thought it would impact a nation of immigrants.

Love this so much. 💜

Love being reminded to do this every year. It's a win/win all round

One more reason to loathe genAI is that it has marred one of the internet’s purest pleasures: funny animal videos. There are so many REAL funny animal videos we could be sharing, but now I have to second guess something which might have been a reprieve in the wall of misery in case it’s a fake.

No other word has done more damage to the craft of writing in recent years than “content”. Even if you’re using the word “content” ironically, or as a cute little joke, don’t. When someone calls writing “content” they’re pissing on someone’s hard work & passion. “Content” is Technosatan’s henchword.

When did headlines and 'journalism' become so performative.

Will be there, excitedly buying too many comics.

Happy Walking Circulatory System In The Kitchen Day to those who celebrate.

lol

Amazing. This is just incredible and brilliant.

Damn right.
