It's come to my attention that some of you are actually laughing out loud when you type "lol". This is not appropriate, or cool, and must stop immediately.

...and that's the story of Jesus.

You can pickup three issues of my new ongoing series with @morganbeem.bsky.social, The Author Immortal, right now at your local comic shop or digital. A beautiful watercolor portal fantasy that explores death of the author, identity, and what happens when you outgrow stories that raised you.

THE VOICE SAID KILL is a swamp saga by me & @vanesadelrey.bsky.social. Quoth Pornsak Pichetshote: "the best new crime comic of the year." And, @comicbook.com: "visually stunning and narratively visceral." The first part is FREE on @popversesays.bsky.social: www.thepopverse.com/comics-voice...

Very very worth your time!

Free festive fiction fun!

The Voice Said Kill Please someone option this for a film. @sispurrier.bsky.social @vanesadelrey.bsky.social were both so on point for this. I want more bayou stories from them. @imagecomics.com

Amidst yesterday's announcement of @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social's COMICS GIVEAWAY DAY in May 2026, there sits this intriguing piece of art, by the singular Mike Dowling, intriguingly marked "Minotaur, The Cold Open." One to watch, I'd say...

From The Voice Said Kill by @sispurrier.bsky.social and Vanesa del Ray. Wild ride, sad it’s over

#MyComicBooks2025 659, The Voice Said Kill #4. Frankly amazing bit of southern friend noir. @sispurrier.bsky.social & @vanesadelrey.bsky.social have totally killed it with this!

The existence of pumpkin implies the existence of pumpfriends.

You've heard of etc etc etc

Doc’s Gem of The Week is….The Voice Said Kill from @imagecomics.com written by @sispurrier.bsky.social w/art by Vanessa Del Ray. Such a killer ending! You’re definitely going to want to check this book out!

When it gets got, it gets got hard.

Wrote the word "delight" then lost a good ten minutes feeling annoyed that it doesn't mean the exact opposite of what it means.

I don't give out many 10s (like 6 in the last 8 years), but 'TVSK' #4 truly deserved it. @sispurrier.bsky.social and @vanesadelrey.bsky.social utterly killed it with this finale (and the whole dang run). Masterful, moving storytelling that hits you on the molecular level. Bravo.

"After a truly potent and impactful three issues, 'The Voice Said Kill' #4 nails the landing with an affective, disarming finale that is genuine narrative and thematic gold." @sispurrier.bsky.social @boom-studios.com #comicsky @vanesadelrey.bsky.social Read @chriscoplan.bsky.social's 10/10 review:

Your occasional reminder that if you're looking for a soundtrack to work to, NAUSICAA OF THE VALLEY OF THE WIND is a stone cold smash through jungle drums, epic orchestral fantasy and batshit eighties synth.

I was This Last Weekend days old when I discovered cooking with Pandan Leaf, and I'm annoyed how much time I've lost.

I’m walking 100k with this idiot this month for MacMillan Cancer Support. I’m roughly on schedule too despite a few weekends away at cons. Donation page is here if you fancy sponsoring me: socialsync.app/fundraiser/c... I’m only 5 quid off my target!

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.
