"It's very very strange! What the hell are you doing?!?! Five stars!" - @ryanbrowne.bsky.social Blast Furnace is one of the greatest comics ever made, and having Ryan give us some love is a huge deal to me. THE FLORIDA HIPPOPOTAMUS C__AINE MASSACRE Coming from @madcavestudios.com Feb 18, 2026

The wonderfully weird Matt Allison has made great, gross art for The Lucky Devils 6–and I got to color it! AHHHHMAZING! @charlessoule.bsky.social @matthewgallison.bsky.social

Nice little article from CBR about EIGHT BILLION GENIES (by @ryanbrowne.bsky.social and me.) www.cbr.com/eight-billio...

Quick Slash doodle from NYCC. It was wonderful being back at a huge show tabling and talk in’ funny books. Big thanks to all the cool people who said nice things to me and big no thanks to the horrible bathrooms littered with human waste nightmare fuel. Great times!!! See you all at a show in 2026!

Eight Billion Genies is an all-time top 5 miniseries for me & now… it’s a BEER?!? And a damn good beer?? What more could you 🧞‍♂️wish🧞‍♂️ for? Love that @ryanbrowne.bsky.social art @halfacrebeer.bsky.social @charlessoule.bsky.social #beersky #comicsky #genie-ous

Our collaboration with @ryanbrowne.bsky.social and his Eight Billion Genies series returns. This 8% hazy Double IPA with Strata, Mosaic & Citra bursts with fruit salad aromatics, strawberry & lemon-lime sherbet, finishing balanced yet bitter. Available for a limited time on draft & in the shop.

Very much looking forward to @comicconla.bsky.social this weekend. First show with @ryanbrowne.bsky.social in a dog’s age. We’ll be there Friday-Sunday. Come see us!

THE LUCKY DEVILS #4 is out at last! After a four-month unwanted, unchosen hiatus, this book fought its way back from the depths of Hell! This one features a new devil - a lady named Sandpaper Pinch. She’s great (and awful!) @ryanbrowne.bsky.social and I hope you enjoy - let us know what you think!

We’re back! imagecomics.com/press-releas...

Back in THE LUCKY DEVILS #3, @ryanbrowne.bsky.social and I ran an advice column with answers from Satan himself. We’re getting it ready for #4, and so if you have any burning questions you’d like to run by the Devil, drop them in the thread here! (Asking a Q means you give us approval to run it!)

Artist @ryanbrowne.bsky.social was cooking on his Image series The Lucky Devils. And then, everything changed. I talked with Browne about the book's recent delay, the life events that led him there, and being an artist in the wake of a seismic life change. This is open to non-subscribers.

Fun at the movies!

Rising from the ashes like a phoenix with a brain injury, I am back and cruising on The Lucky Devils 4! Can’t wait for you to see what these total assholes do next! #theluckydevils @imagecomics.com @charlessoule.bsky.social

A God Hates Astronauts/Eight Billion Genies/The Lucky Devils mashup. The only commission I took at C2E2 because, well, of course this is something I wanted to draw. I mostly don’t draw at shows anymore—unless it’s something really spicy like this. SPICY! @imagecomics.com @charlessoule.bsky.social

THIS TERRIFYING SLEEP SERIES SNEAK PEEK WILL GIVE READERS NIGHTMARES @imagecomics.com @zandercannon.bsky.social @ryanbrowne.bsky.social

6 weeks later I’m slowly getting back on The Lucky Devils horse—drawing a weightlifting devil power squatting a fish on Struggle Beach. I appreciate everyone’s understanding and support while things have been lame, the rest of this series will be worth the wait—just look at this fucking fish!

My variant @zandercannon.bsky.social ‘s masterful new horror/mystery series called SLEEP. Big time Twin Peaks, Twilight Zone vibes! It gets my highest recommendation—preorder it now!

Beer Hates Astronauts is a bold IPA packed with vibrant Citra hop aromas and smooth peach notes, all layered over a touch of caramel sweetness. With a 7.8% ABV and golden hue, and paired perfectly with artwork by @ryanbrowne.bsky.social – Beer Hates is SMaSH IPA in perfect form.

The Lucky Devils 3 original art drops tomorrow! For info sign up for my mailing list—oh also there are still some cool issue two pages here 3dcowboycomics.com HOPE YOU DUG ISSUE THREE!

The graphic novel TPB of @darkhorse.com Barfly by @thekylestarks.bsky.social and @ryanbrowne.bsky.social is available NOW! “A grimy punk rock odyssey that answers the question “How much $#!% can one lackey eat before he says NO MORE?!” @pattonoswalt.bsky.social @blumjordan.bsky.social

We *also* just heard that THE LUCKY DEVILS #1 is going back to press for a FOURTH printing - holy shit! We’re going with a super cool image that uses the raw art scan from @ryanbrowne.bsky.social ‘s original cover for Lucky Devils #1. I believe it’ll be available for order very imminently!

THE LUCKY DEVILS returns today with #3! This issue’s themed around the third circle of Hell, aka Gluttony. @ryanbrowne.bsky.social and I hope you’ve been enjoying the series so far - we LOVE making this book. This one has a gorgeous variant by Tradd Moore in both a color and foil 1:25 variant.

Lucky Devils #3 – Gluttony Takes Center Stage in a Devilish Way nerdinitiative.com/2025/03/26/l... @imagecomics.com @charlessoule.bsky.social @ryanbrowne.bsky.social @michaelrothman.bsky.social #NCBD #comics

THE LUCKY DEVILS #3 - out next week! (I believe!) Can’t wait for you guys to see this one - it took a ton of work, especially from @ryanbrowne.bsky.social and came out beautifully.

Beer Hates Astronauts has touched down. Inspired by the “God Hates Astronauts” comic book by @ryanbrowne.bsky.social. One of our longest-running limited releases, this SMaSH IPA bursts with ripe, funky Citra hop aromas & creamy peach flavor built on Vienna malt, for a slightly sweet caramel base.

One of my favorite little two-panel beats from THE LUCKY DEVILS #3. @ryanbrowne.bsky.social ‘s cartooning is next-level here. Look at Rake’s expression in that second panel!!

The Lucky Devils by @charlessoule.bsky.social and @ryanbrowne.bsky.social continues to be great! Love how they are exploring the changes in Cam and Starr and building out the backstory for hell. This is mining philosophical concepts similar to 8 Billions Genies but at the same time is unique.
