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.

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...
