Final boss.

This week's Generation X is a really fun book that carries on some threads that I wasn't expecting. I highly recommend it. @jodyhouser.bsky.social @jacopocamagni.bsky.social #erickarciniega @airy.bsky.social

The Girlfriend Survives is a twist on the superhero trope where our heroine is that girl who, in other stories, would have been sacrificed to the plot. Sure, she's the superhero's barista girlfriend, but you're about to discover that she's a lot more. zoop.gg/c/slay

recent events indeed! i met dad's mom (puerto rican) who was born in 1884. she was illiterate; had at least 10 children that i could find. slavery in PR was abolished in 1873. the records i found show that her family line where all sugar cane farm workers, which means they were most likely enslaved.

I can't spell. It will help FUND charities (not help "fun" charities). 🫠

Just lettered a series of panels in a technically challenging way and thought, "Wow, I'm feeling pretty proud of this." And then my brain had to point out that I'm going to doubt myself hard once I see it in print. Such a bully, my brain.

One of the coolest people I've met in the comics industry, letterer Janice Chiang, is auctioning off a piece of her artwork (as she's known for her amazing work during her Ghost Rider run in the 90s). The auction is for SUPERHEROES FOR MINNESOTA where winning bids will help fun charities.

Oh hey! It got announced! I am HONORED to be amongst the murderer's row of talent included in MONSTERS IN LOVE: A PRIDE ANTHOLOGY with @darkhorse.com and @readtinyonion.bsky.social! I am so thrilled for y'all to read @tench.bsky.social and I's story: HOW TO DATE YOUR DRAGON!

I’m writing a comic book about a soul-less female assasin with an indie publisher and I’m looking for an editor who’d be able to help guide my perspective. #EditorWanted #ComicEditor

Wild to see a new reader dive into Ultraman at the start of the "The Fall of" storyline, but I appreciate that they could pick up all the necessary backstory along the way and enjoy the new adventure.

I keep seeing fantastic writers with substacks and it's terribly tempting to check out the platform, but this incident from three years ago is why I never do.

I knew some would be dissatisfied with the final issue of Ultimate X-Men. In the last issue, you introduced new characters? New plots? You didn't spend it wrapping everything up and packing all the characters into cozy little boxes? Nope Ultimate X-Men was its own thing. It will end in its own way

We worked on this short story so many years ago but it still has a special place reserved in my heart.

I used to collect Generation X obsessively as a preteen and now I'm working on a Generation X-23 book. How neat!

I know there's a lot going on, and folks across western Alaska still need help to recover from massive storm and flood damage. This ebook offer is ongoing! Donate at least $5 to these orgs, and get an ebook (or gift it to a friend!) That's half the retail price!

This fall Dr. Opal Lee will turn 100 years old. Meanwhile this week FIRST FREEDOM: THE STORY OF OPAL LEE AND JUNETEENTH comes out from @oni-press.bsky.social and I got to interview @angeliqueroche.bsky.social about her graphic novel on the activist: comicon.com/2026/02/10/a...

Similar philosophy for this one. No real good way to localize these other than a bunch of elbow grease and very precise SFX and addition of new lines. (of course, being a digital color asset, there's no good reason it should be flat like this in the first place!)

Here's one where the flow of the SFX needed to be overhauled a little. In Japanese the コ゚ wraps around Khrome, so I opted to have it come down from the other direction a bit. It's also practical, since I didn't want to have to redraw his legs and placed the W conveniently.

As a reminder, flashback panels are all baked into the art and have to be tracked down and replaced manually to match. And Beyblade has a ton of these!

Gradient screentone SFX aren't super hard to recreate general, but it's always worth making sure the black-to-white transition is roughly in line with the original art, as well as the dot size. It's not something I worry about getting 1:1, as long as it maintains the same feel.

Here's a fun bit, where the original text was already in English, but there's no need to have the Japanese text for English readers. Erasing the JP would leave this awkward white space, so I opted to close the gap. Not the most difficult change to make but should always be handled with care.

I haven't done any lettering showcases in a while, and never did Beyblade X volume 4 or 5, so I figure I'll just do both in one thread!

Probably worth sharing this, given there are probably a good number of people who aren't aware of this scam. If you get an email asking you to take part in a podcast, assume it's a scam until you're certain it's not. A dead giveaway is the sender's email account just being one on Gmail.

when @xoxogossipgita.bsky.social texted me to ask for comment on that NYT article, I saw red lmao ty Gita for letting me rant

The point of the AI project is to provoke despair in creative people. They haven’t produced profits or anything anyone wants, just a steady stream of articles about how us artistic types can’t do the thing we’re already doing, making art. Jokes on them, we’re even better at despair than they are.

Dilley is a hellhole and we have to get it shut down and all those kids freed.

These were some fun questions! As for the Letterer Starter Pack I mentioned, here's a link to it: go.bsky.app/D5PbjPZ

welp, this destroyed me first thing upon waking up

You ever revisit something you made several months later and think "Fuck, I made a cool thing?" That's how I feel about West Dennison Township Book Club. I'm still so pleased with how this ridiculous little game turned out. #TTRPG

Disappointing move by Bookshop Org. Supporting Spotify is not supporting artists. www.thebookseller.com/news/spotify...

Just switched. Be prepared for roadblocks. I had to get a real human agent to manually change my subscription.

Let Adobe know DIRECTLY how you feel about AI and subscription-based models!

I didn't know until today that there is a Creative Cloud Standard Plan that is much cheaper and limits their "premium" AI features. If you no choice but to use Adobe for work, here's the Standard plan you have to dig around their site to find and switch over to: www.adobe.com/creativeclou...

This whole thing where billionaires snap up media properties so they can run them into the ground to make it harder for people to call them and their cronies to account is extremely obvious and very tiresome. It also limits our access to largr information about culture and the world, also by design.

HEY trans and nonbinary creatives! do you have a project you'd like to promote? would you like to be on the Tilly's Trans Tuesdays podcast to do just that? and get to talk with me (i have it on good authority i'm super fun and cool)? then this form is for you! 🌟
