Well OF COURSE I'll be at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social. Find me at table D22 in the 2000AD hall. I'll be selling complete 4-issue bundles of THE VOICE SAID KILL, HB editions of HELLBLAZER and truckloads of other goodies. (Collectors/retailers - I have tons of rare variants - DM with requests.)

Love this book so much. @2000ad.bsky.social-tastic, in the very best way. GET ABOARD!

"Went to a presentation last night. Local councillor. There's a lot of very angry people like us, Ron, worried the Tories are getting too liberal." This is a real actual I'm-not-making-it-up-because-honestly-how-COULD-I thing I just overheard at the gym.

Fuckaduck, what a depressing day of capitulations, on both sides of the pond. Who knew the guiding document of 21st century politics would be Neville Chamberlain's little piece of paper?

USING BULLETS TO CURE DEATH

USING BULLETS TO CURE DEATH

*3:00 - Conflict in Comics: Sometimes Violence IS the Answer I'm leading this panel with Garth Ennis, @alisonsampson.bsky.social, @al-ewing.bsky.social & surprise bonus panellist @sispurrier.bsky.social! Expect chat about war crimes, comedy disembowelment, and Looney Tunes but horrifying 💀

Yuval Noah Harari isn't always right, but when he is... History rhymes.

Comicbook retailers -- fascinating conversation with other creators raises a question. When you're placing orders for NCBD, how do you apportion your budget? Book by book basis? Publisher by publisher? Do the brackets change weekly, or is it always "x% on DC", "y% on Image"? What drives change?

Woke up early feeling immediately energetic and positive, even without coffee, for the first time in years! Played with the kids! Danced! Sat down to eat breakfast. Turned my head a millimetre to the left and instantly fucked my entire neck. Everything is rubbish and god hates us all.

@newyorkcomiccon.bsky.social was great! And so excited to bring everyone some dark and disturbing whimsy next year from Vertigo! A Walking Shadow by @sispurrier.bsky.social and little ol me.

Very excited that I got to do another logo for Vertigo for their relaunch! Keep an eye out for A Walking Shadow from @aaroncampbellarts.com and @sispurrier.bsky.social!

A Walking Shadow by @sispurrier.bsky.social and @aaroncampbellarts.com: 8 strangers wake up chained to a boat in the woods. No memory. No escape. No explanation. Out next year, email us now at [email protected] to add this series by some of our favourite Hellblazer creators to your pull list!

Thrilled to mention that, yep, I will indeed be part of the #vertigo panel at #nycc2025. Join us to learn more...

Last but not lost.

Oof. I love those "ohhh, they *get* it" type reviews. One of my favourites, I think.

"With power and momentum to spare, 'The Voice Said Kill' #3 brings us through another twisting, compelling chapter of the best crime story going right now." @imagecomics.com @sispurrier.bsky.social @vanesadelrey.bsky.social #comicbooks #comicsky Out tomorrow, read @chriscoplan.bsky.social's review:

Slightly awks moment playing Split Fiction when we realised the roundabout specimens had got there first.

I think you'll find that this isn't true.

Somehow, I blinked and ten years flew by since @sispurrier.bsky.social and I got married. What a glorious, silly, fun day that was! And what an amazing decade we've had.

What happens when I go to Spain.

UK child-adjacent comics-knowers: any comics reccos for a kid (7) who's nuts about football but not a natural reader? My own boy is now a voracious bookworm and it's thanks to comics -- I'm wondering if anyone's staked a claim to the footie/sequentials intersection in that under-10s category?

I love folk raving about @sispurrier.bsky.social work ( especially when it’s folk as equally talented and smart as Pornsak ) because he’s one of the nicest people in comics and honestly I just don’t think he gets the flowers he deserves often enough ( ditto what Pornsak said about TVSK )

It's interesting how differently I read digital vs. physical comix. I recommended @sispurrier.bsky.social & Vanessa Del Rey's THE VOICE SAID KILL 1 after reading a digital copy, but after reading a physical one, even though it's exactly the same, I think it's the best new crime comic of the year.

#MyConicBooks2025 393, The Voice Said Kill #2. Holy hell, this is even better than the first issue! The deep colours, the amazing dialogue, the multi facetted characters! @sispurrier.bsky.social and co. are kicking all kinds of ass here!

"It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." I think about Macbeth's Tomorrow-And-Tomorrow-And-Tomorrow speech a lot, lately. He was talking about life, but it makes a rather beautiful review of a decent 70% of everything you'll watch or read this year.

On the day that Pepsi and Coca Cola launch a limited-edition 50/50 mixture, people will queue around the block and speak gnomically of sophisticated flavors, brave artisanal choices and succour for struggling soda-vendors, while a thousand kids quietly pack away their unvisited lemonade stands.

Slightly diminish a band: Decentish Pumpkins

Movie makers: ANIMAL WITH HUMAN-ISH FEATURES is 100% scarier than HUMAN WITH CREATURE-ISH FEATURES, and this is a hill I will die on.

The SKTCHD YouTube will have video versions of each new episode of Off Panel go up on it as well as Shorts from each and more. THAT'S NOT ALL, THOUGH. I might be slowly putting video versions of old episodes up as well, starting with this episode with @sispurrier.bsky.social! So, subscribe today!

One more for today. We are kicking ourselves that @sispurrier.bsky.social is using Bindings. Long may he reign.

Hey, a favorite author Simon Spurrier @sispurrier.bsky.social showed up on Crime Reads to talk about crime comics! It's a great read!

I wrote a piece for the preeminent hub of Crime Fiction fandoms, @crimereads.bsky.social, about why a love for genre should transcend the media divide, and why novel readers should embrace comics. Wherein: 10 great titles to help make the jump. crimereads.com/simon-spurri...

252. The Voice Said Kill #1. This comic is something else. Just grimy world building and the art is fantastic to boot.

Writer Si Spurrier joins the show to talk about his new Image series The Voice Said Kill, winding down his run on The Flash at DC, and more.

Highest recommendation - David Harper continues to set an insanely high bar for entertaining and informative interviews - this weeks conversation with Si Spurrier is a must for #indiecomics or #webcomics creators sktchd.libsyn.com

"Gritty and poignant, 'The Voice Said Kill' is the start of a new, more lethal kind of crime story that's about emotional responses and setting over villains and misdeeds." @imagecomics.com @sispurrier.bsky.social @vanesadelrey.bsky.social #comicsky #NCBD Read @chriscoplan.bsky.social's review:
