The NHS closed Tavistock over trans care concerns – there were just eight complaints all from cisgender people. 1. JK Rowling 2. Maya Forstater 3. Helen Joyce 4. Graham Linehan 5. Kathleen Stock 6. Posie Parker 7. Wes Streeting 8. Rosie Duffield www.thepinknews.com/2026/02/11/n...

Few scientists have so revolutionised our understanding of life as Charles Darwin. Born #OnThisDay in 1809, his work laid the foundations of evolutionary biology and transformed how we see the natural world, understand our origins, and think about humanity’s place within it. Happy #DarwinDay!

Imagine watching one of the most disturbing stories of child trafficking and rape of young girls by powerful white cis men and thinking “this inspires me to spend even more time focusing my energy on shouting about the menace of trans women” … oh, while we’re here novaramedia.com/2026/02/05/t...

Just hearing we've lost Sal Buscema, an absolute giant of comics and one of the true greats. His long run on Spectacular Spider-Man is as good as mainstream comics get. RIP to a genuine master.

Just getting you all used to seeing this so that, when it gets solicited, you'll be able to order it. You're welcome. 🙂

One of the most important comics I was fortune enough to pitch and write. You can read more about our upcoming addition to the Star Trek franchise as we celebrate 60 years of dreaming toward a better today and tomorrow by remembering the past. We all have a role to play in the revolution 🖖

Kitty Pryde and Lockheed wish you a Happy New Year 🎉 #commission

2025 is dead. The rise of 2026 begins now.

And so to the final A-Comic-A-Day and one of my favourites. I said in an earlier thread that Watchmen wasn’t my favourite Alan Moore comic story, but V For Vendetta probably is, although Promethea gives it a run for its money.

The cause of the problem is obvious. The solution is too.

The penultimate A-Comic-A-Day visits Astro City and who knows what will happen? Astro City is a superhero comic from a different perspective. We see their world from the points of view of all sorts of other people, such as ordinary citizens…

Way back in one of January’s A-Comic-A-Day posts, I said that Echolands would feature in the future. I’ll be honest, I didn’t think it would be this far in the future. But as J.H. Williams III says in the Afterward for #1 that Echolands was years in the making, I don’t feel too bad about the delay.

I wrote in an earlier A-Comic-A-Day that I’d probably not read an actual Dr. Fate story. Happily, that’s no longer true. Huzzah! I bought the collected edition of Dr. Fate featuring the stories by J.M. DeMatteis @jmdematteis.bsky.social Shawn McManus…

Have you thought about GMing—maybe always wanted to give it a shot—but haven’t taken the plunge? What if we told you that by the first week in February, you could be an honest-to-goodness GM—and it’ll be easy! GM Numenera, Trail of Cthulhu, Tales of the Valiant—and more! newgamemastermonth.com/

Modesty Blaise is a comic strip that I don’t often hear much about, but I wanted it here on A-Comic-A-Day because I enjoy it. Good enough, right? Modesty Blaise is a pulp adventure comic strip that originally ran between 1963 and 2002, written by Peter O’Donnell.

The lunatics have taken over both the asylum and A-Comic-A-Day, so join us as we descend through the strange tale that is Batman: Arkham Asylum – A Serious House On Serious Earth, written by Grant Morrison, illustrated by Dave McKean, and lettered by Gaspar Saladino.

It’s December 25th here on A-Comic-A-Day and so we need something Christmassy… like Rachel Rising! It’s got snow in it! And, if I’ve learnt anything, it’s that the true meaning of Christmas is snow. Thank you, Mr. Charles Dickens!

A-Comic-A-Day brings you Good Omens! No, the graphic novel. I’m not reading the signs and I can only see the future as well as anyone else. The Good Omens graphic novel is by Colleen Doran @colleendoran.bsky.social

I don’t know how to go into The Adventures of Luther Arkwright by Bryan Talbot without, first, rereading it, and, second, posting a thread long enough that no-one will read it. More than normal, I mean…

There are some A-Comic-A-Day titles that I was probably always going to enjoy, such as Captain Britain and MI13. It features Captain Britain, as well as others from Excalibur, it’s set in Britain, and it’s written by Paul Cornell @paulcornell.bsky.social so liking it was easy.

A-Comic-A-Day reaches back to X-Men days of past past and The Dark Phoenix Saga, from The Uncanny X-Men issues 129 to 137. Some well-known and well-loved comic stories are overrated, in my opinion. This isn’t one of them. I’d still put this up there with the best.

Workplace Christmas do's are weird.

I haven’t thought about the Spider-Man and Zoids comic for a long time and here it is now showing up on A-Comic-A-Day! The Spider-Man reprints were always welcome, but mostly I read the for the Zoids stories.

This A-Comic-A-Day is a bit different, but it’s my thing and I can do what I like with it. Today, there’s no title and no picture because I don’t remember what they are. I read this comic strip in a hardback, large format book that I had when I was young.

The only words left that haven't been used as superhero names.

As with yesterday’s A-ComicA-Day, Earth X, Kingdom Come is another extrapolation of a superhero universe into the future, this time the DC Universe, to explore the consequences of change. And, as with Earth X, Kingdom Come is superb.

There are many comics that deal with alternative, often dystopian, versions of the future of superhero universes. And here at A-Comic-A-Day we’re not going to shy away from them. There’s a few of them, so it’s tough to know which way to shy. Marvel’s Earth X is one of the good ones.

It’s great to have some new Criminal from Ed Brubaker, Sean Phillips @seanphillips.bsky.social and Jacob Phillips @thatjacobphillips.bsky.social and it’s the latest A-Comic-A-Day. Want to know what the story is? You’re gonna have to read it.

Two beautiful human beings

A-Comic-A-Day… There are some comics that I think are best as self-contained stories with no expansion or continuation, like Watchmen, for example. Lucky they never did any more of that, right? And then there are books I’m always happy to go back to, Like Strangers In Paradise.

Cyberarchy is another title I picked up in my lock comic shop after a quick flip through and the thought, “Yeah, that looks cool, I’ll give it a try. That’s two A-Comic-A-Day books published by Mad Cave @madcavestudios.com in the last three days. Gotta be something in it.

After an evening online meeting, this A-Comic-A-Day is going to be an easy one. I have made it festive, though. That’s a thing people do, right? I’m told it’s traditional. It got Optimus Prime in a Father Christmas outfit. Match that!

A-Comic-A-Day… Our Soot Stained Heart from Mad Cave Studios @madcavestudios.com was in its own display in my local comic shop. The word ‘steampunk’ stood out and a copy was bought. Gotta say, the cover was also a big draw. No, that wasn’t supposed to be a pun.

y'all are missing out on so much joy in your lives without these

I’m full of Turkish food, a little bit sleepy, and there’s still an A-Comic-A-Day to do. So let’s just appreciate another David Mack @david-mack.bsky.social cover. I’ve not (yet) read The Darkness, but I own a copy of issue 1 because my local comic shop knows I’ll like this cover.

And so A-Comic-A-Day reaches Miracleman. From the last two days, you must have seen it coming miles away, like a superhero with telescopic vision. No longer Marvelman, Miracleman found himself in the hands of Alan Moore and a host of talented artists, and about to go through the wringer.

Yesterday’s A-Comic-A-Day ended with publisher L. Miller & Son running out of Captain Marvel stories to reprint in the UK. So, what did they do? They had writer/artist Mick Anglo create a new, original character as a replacement. Well, original… That might be a stretch.

I was planning a few linked A-Comic-A-Day threads, assuming I remember I’m doing it. Let’s start with Whiz Comics #2 from Fawcett Publications in 1940. This is the first appearance of Billy Batson’s Captain Marvel, now known as Shazam.

Save Now. That’s not a prompt, it’s another A-Comic-A-Day. Again, I bought a first issue based solely on the creative team, in this case Matt Kindt and Tomás Giorello. Had no idea what the book was about. Well, I got a winner with this one.

Okay, let’s do one of the biggies… Watchmen had to make an appearance on A-Comic-A-Day. Of course, it wouldn’t have done if I hadn’t enjoyed it. Only books I like make it here. But I did, so it has.

Thinking of comics for all of these A-Comic-A-Day posts has made me realise two things… One, there are loads of titles that I know I loved reading but don’t remember much of the details. Two, I really want to reread those comics and don’t have nearly enough time. Example, The Strangers.
