imagine being at MSG watching the Knicks and mfkin James Gurney is next to you, pulls out his plein air gouache set, and just breezily pumps out this masterpiece. like wtf

Hello everyone! We're Crow's Nest Comics, a queer-, trans-, woman-, and Asian-American-owned comic, game, and other cool stuff store store located in Seattle's Central District! We focus on indie comics from small press to Image, art from local artists, and work by marginalized creators. ⏩

Woo-hoo! Can't keep a good comic shop down :)

We’re baa-ack. That’s right, folks. Arcane Comics rides again! Like a phoenix from the ashes, we are reborn—across the street! Our new address is 1207 N 152nd St C, still in Shoreline. We have also adjusted our hours!

I've been trying to warn y'all about this pro badge price for years! The NYCC cost has TRIPLED since 2019. It should be free for comic creators. We're underpaid, overworked, and none of these conventions would be possible without us.

Reed pop continuing to gouge creators is a huge reason why I don’t do many of their shows any more. When you’re travelling internationally & paying exorbitant rates for badges, tables, food, etc it’s almost impossible to break even. Then you factor in how little they promote comic creators and…

why's he hanging out with the elves from hellboy 2

I know Calvin’s dad is already having a moment, but every terrible “outsource precious and fleeting moments with your children to tech so that you can spend more time on your work” pitch makes me think of that one strip I never really cared about as a kid, but care a lot about as an adult.

3 weeks from today, I'll be launching the Kickstarter campaign for OUTLAW'S APPRENTICE: BROKEN BLADE, the first graphic novel in my Appalachian-inspired swashbuckling fantasy series. I'm putting the series out in my favorite format: mass market paperback size! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sch...

This is what every game developer sounds like right now.

Say it ain't so 😢😢😢 This place is legendary. Looks like we've all been left "holdin' the Bippy" sadly.

Marjane Satrapi's people are saying she "died of sadness," which just makes it all the more devastating. A powerful and unerring voice for justice. www.lemonde.fr/en/obituarie...

We are excited to hear that Dark Horse has expressed their willingness to voluntarily recognize DHWU! We look forward to continuing to work together in order to bring this to fruition, and will update more as our status is finalized. #DHWU 🐴✊

This is real btw

Good news, everyone! This fun solo journaling RPG is coming to Kickstarter with cards for prompts. Plus it's designed by a good friend and I'd love to see this fund quickly when it launches. Had a blast playing through this as a Futurama inspired character bumbling her way through the galaxy.

Remember how I said I wasn’t going to be as quick to forgive him as some of yall were? This is exactly why. When people show you who they are, believe them!

lol

What's wild to me is that Gutierrez is smart, and he made this decision with 100% certainty that he wasn't being paid for involving himself in the project; he was being paid to *forever* lose the respect, support, and affection of his peers and his audience. What's the price tag for that?

If only there were some sort of beloved story about the perils of using a fundamentally corrupt technology created for evil ends, even if you yourself have pure motives. Ideally one which made it clear at the end that there can be no compromise with inherent evil, it must just be stamped out.

it’s the last day to preorder a MANGA tee before they’re gone for a long long time. available in mystic blue, khaki & classic white this go around. shipping in mid to late june. camdelrosario.bigcartel.com

ANNOUNCEMENT: The workers of Dark Horse Comics @darkhorse.com are forming a union. Please read our mission statement below. 👇 #DHWU

there’s only 48 hours left to preorder the “MANGA” tee. available in mystic blue, khaki & classic white. made to order, no leftovers will be for sale. shipping in mid to late june. camdelrosario.bigcartel.com

Happy to announce that since this article was published, Fortnite raised its rate to $5000 :)

If you want there to be a Magic Community, you got to be building something run by & for the people who make & play this game. Like adding your name to UWOTC's open letter, demanding that Wizards recognise the union & stops trying to scare workers into submission. actionnetwork.org/forms/uwotcl...

I have tried to not make my feed an infinite scroll of this, but here is a reminder: That One Matt Bors Comic is an anthology of Matt, writers and cartoonists, and randos from the internet who are/have riffed on "we should improve society somewhat." www.kickstarter.com/projects/...

Thanks to my pal Brian for making sure I saw this absolutely ridiculous "status" update from @steamforgedgames.bsky.social That's not how game boards are printed. Not at all. It's freaking wild to post AI slop as a progress update. gamefound.com/en/projects/...

making a proper post of this so hopefully more people will see, but Microdose Comics appears to be the new company and bonus harassment alt of Shutterstock founder/AI Guy Jon Oringer (last screenshot from bsky.app/profile/hell...)

Block this trash on sight and follow the REAL publishers of actual human creators instead. go.bsky.app/C2tf7oZ

New statement from San Diego Comic Con on the Eisner-nominated anthology using AI:

WOTC and Hasbro can still voluntarily recognize our union at any point up to the NLRB election. We encourage you to sign our letter of support, and make your voice heard. cwa.org/uwotcletter

Since the announcement of our union, Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro have hired Fisher Phillips (a union avoidance firm), and chosen to engage in a daily union-avoidance campaign by sending emails to the Arena team that is spreading misinformation and sowing fear among our colleagues. #uwotc-cwa

A shocking number of people are replying to my call to block Neil Gaiman with variations on "Wait, what did he do?" I guess some folks have been living under a rock, but it's never too late to wise up: archive.is/cr8Me

Not sure what the Eisners should do about the current AI predicament they find themselves in, but this petition requesting that guidelines be updated for the future saying any comic using AI will be disqualified from the Eisners seems like a no-brainer. c.org/8N5Ydf8GVS

No one should buy/supprt the work of Neil Rapist Gaiman, but in response to this companies like DC should publish compendiums of artists like P Craig Russell, Sam Kieth, Colleen Doran, Charles Vess, Kelley Jones, Michael Zulli, Marc Hempel, etc etc to support all the cartoonists tainted by his evil

my friend @katiesaurusrex.bsky.social made a side scrolling Game Boy comic and you can see it here: www.instagram.com/reel/DYXtx20...

“MANGA” tees are available to preorder for the first time in 2+ years. this time in mystic blue, khaki & classic white. preorder window is open 5/14/26 - 5/28/26 shirts will ship in mid to late june camdelrosario.bigcartel.com

It is worth reading the article to the end to see how fucking useless a.i. is and how it harms everyone else involved in the project while also making one of the worst looking comics pages I've ever seen.

Training AI on a dead man’s work and publishing it under your ‘AI’ pseudonym?? I cannot think of anything more terrible. I feel sorry for everyone else in that anthology that has been tarnished by one dude’s need to feel cool.

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 Deepest condolences to literally everyone who didn't know about this before participating in this book and/or elevating it. Zero thanks to Michael Todasco.

We need to make sure that this will be the LAST work featuring a.i. to be nominated for an Eisner Award.
