1,000 people is a crime. This is the best account on Bluesky.

@comicexplosions.bsky.social a couple decades late, but I feel like it's one you'd appreciate!

This episode is the product of six months of hard work, and thanks to Nat’s handcrafted score and effects, I really think it shows. This is my definitive statement on the ‘90s, and (I hope) a worthy companion piece to Nat’s ongoing coverage of The Death and Return of Superman.

NEW (PREMIUM) EPISODE! Together with @cacomixpod.bsky.social, we're diving into the vast expanse of KNIGHTFALL, the Bat-epic that introduced Bane and Azrael to Gotham in the process of laying the Caped Crusader low—a glimpse of the nameless dread mounting at the end of history.

Walt is indeed comparable. Comparable to the towering greats.

Yeah, it's dropping tomorrow. Sorry it took so long. I was just making sure it's the best podcast episode you're ever going to listen to.

The clock is ticking for the Dark Knight. He only has a few days left...

This only took me about 25 years to write 😅 but you should check this out. From the requirement of homoeroticism to why the Fantastic Four will never be a traditionalist nuclear family, with lots of talk of psychogons, psychosexual conditions, and the power of color and light.

Hey getting hit by a car sucks. I don't recommend it. In fact, I suggest that we do away with car centric infrastructure and fully back public transit.

There's definitely a holiday or birthday which could be brightened by gifting this amazing tome of literary and media importance to a scholar, fangirl, or casual engager in popular entertainment in your life! Let me talking about Lamashtu, Ariadne, and Nancy A Collins be the gift that gives!

"You shouldn't make art for the money" buddy I'll take it one step further and say we shouldn't have to labor for capital at all but in the meantime pay an artist

Dialogue like this should be illegal.

HANDS OFF VENEZUELA! NO WAR FOR OIL!

It's incredibly heartening that public opinion has so quickly shifted from "Venezuela is an evil communist dictatorship" to "Venezuela is fine actually." People have really woken up to more of the bullshit than I expected them to.

The arrival of one of the first great prose stylists in mainstream American comics.

I will post this every single time I think about it, because it's the best opening to a superhero comic ever.

NO WAR ON VENEZUELA! LONG LIVE THE BOLIVARIAN REVOLUTION!

Posts like these display a deep ignorance of history. To combat the USSR, the US destroyed Afghanistan in the 70s by funding radically conservative militant groups that would, in fact, become the Taliban. We have no business being in Afghanistan AT ALL.

i hate how difficult it's becoming to tell if images are ai or not sometimes, so im going to have to start primarily going by the heuristic of wheter or not the message conveyed by an image is one the state of israel is trying to push or not

Hi bluesky I made you a giraph ok thanks

"Democratic Lawmakers Urge Troops Not to Follow Unlawful Orders" would hit a lot harder if the lawful orders weren't to go kill poor people in *other* countries.

I'm flattered by this thoughtful writeup about my new self published endeavor. You can read it at the Doomrocket link below, and pick it up here if you're convinced: bensears.bigcartel.com/product/youn...

Great review in which many of the reasons I love Ben Sears’ work are better articulated than I could have attempted. He’s a singular cartoonist who makes me think of greats in other fields like animation and picture book illustration, but is also unmistakably Comics.

This post probably won't excite many folks here, but I just pulled the trigger on a Digitakt 2. My original Digitakt has served as the centerpiece of my mobile workstation for years now, so I'm sad to see him go, but happy to be introduced to his replacement.

Someone's going on an adventure!

Making Anarky a *boss* fight in Arkham Origins seems rather counter-philosophical.

Superman, Spider-Man, and Iron Man all walk into a Starbucks. The barista spells their names correctly because the union won a living wage.

Found an old D&D notebook. I used to be a genius.

This is going to be a very special episode. Walt and I have each put our absolute all into it, and we want as many of you to enjoy it as possible.

ANNOUNCEMENT: In a gesture of international solidarity and good will, @cacomixpod.bsky.social and I will be releasing our PREMIUM Knightfall collaboration on our main feeds instead of paywalling it. The people have a right to know.

In conditions which are conducive to plant growth to begin with ((i.e. not the desert), solar farms are associated with greater overall growth and higher biodiversity. There's lots of research on this.

The moment I knew I was a crazy person was when I saw someone complaining about having to edit two separate tracks on their podcast while I was taking a break from editing the 64 tracks that comprise the first five minutes of season three...

"Nobody believes Mamdani can actually do anything." The folks voting for him sure do! And that's our opportunity to broaden their imaginations around how life could really be through socialism! He fails, we talk about real radical alternatives. He succeeds, we demand even more.

On top of every other crime it commits, the King/Gerads Mister Miracle book forced me to endure the sweaty nerds in line ahead of me drooling over how much of Big Barda's body "you get to see in it." Many things can never be forgiven.

To all the new patreon subscribers who've joined since the Superman '25 episode - THANK YOU! I'm sorry you won't get your name on the radio until after the Knightfall episode, but you WILL be getting your special shout out!

Anyone who scoffs at the idea of the academic study of superhero comics is both woefully under informed and absolutely correct at the same time.

SHELFDUST IS A COOL WEBSITE WWW.SHELFDUST.COM

Can everyone do me a favor and follow me if I know you from Twitter and also recreate my exact same community of comics and politics people from over there

This is my favorite post of all time

Odo solo show? No! Odo no mo', so Odo solo show FOMO :(

Currently 2/3rds of the way though this and it’s really great. Really well researched and informative, on top of being a fun listen.

The @cacomixpod.bsky.social @voidcon.bsky.social @weirdpunkbooks.bsky.social special crossover-event of the decade! Watch for the foil embossed holographic variant covers! @saracentury.bsky.social it was great meeting you 🤘

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT, the Collective Action Comics in-depth review of Superman (2025) is out NOW! The reaction to it has been overwhelming, to say the least. Listen wherever fine podcasts are sold!

Dave Gibbons - pinnin’ up on the Last Son of Krypton, at the doorstep of his Fortress of Solitude.

About halfway through this bad boy and Nat is truly cooking: Martian geology, fascism, cultural hegemony, Orientalism, Russophobia, the political utility of the superhero, and a comprehensive breakdown of everything that didn’t work for me in Superman. A MUST

Incredible that Curt Swan just quietly plodded away at his Superman day job for forty years while low key producing some of the most stunning art in the biz.
