My baby is back in print today 🥰

A woman trying to save her city has to slit a few throats to do it in this noir-inspired dark fantasy world, a story I wanted to tell that was the reason I became a writer.

This sounds amazing. Visiting Stonehenge remains one of the most profound experiences of my life.

AIPAC spent $150k to air an attack ad about 16-year-old me.

I've thought about this a lot. I've read my own book more than any other, and my #2 (probably The Gunslinger?) is not even close.

No quests, kings, conspiracies, or armies; just a pair of thieves making their way in a hard world.

If you're into Abercrombie, Lynch, or Eames, I think you might dig it. Check it out.

Holy shit this sounds like it was written just for me.

This sounds amazing. Who is your cover artist? They absolutely killed it.

I want to point this out not necc because it's so clearly generated by LLM with light human editing, but because as my eyes skimmed over the classicly bland, milquetoast word salad, it reminded me of how critical having a unique voice is in this business. It's the one ownable thing we have.

Art not made with AI.

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future."

Incredible words.

Bronze Age Fellowship of the Ring, nine stout fellas of varying sizes.

Realized it’s been a while since I posted my Bronze Age Fellowship of the Ring so here the lads are again

Still one of my favorite things you've ever done.

Now the question is, will you create some new ones in honor of the 100th anniversary of Asbury's book in 2028?

Old Brewery scenery set, perhaps...?

I know what I'm watching this week.

Dying at these. Don't know why I find Bill Chirten so funny.

I never post on bluesky because I'm too busy making dumb shit like this.

i would almost go so far as to say "let's fucking go"??!!???

Yes. I am right. I am seeing how Chat GPT is ruining students critical thinking and writing skills in real time. It is not the future. It is a tool designed to render the populace helpless, to make people doubt their innate intelligence, and to foster overreliance on technology.

A miraculous accomplishment for any era of comics publishing, let alone the 21st century.

Congrats @michelfiffe.bsky.social

The shitty 21st century remake of Operation Paperclip nobody asked for

Bizarre how these tech fetishists can openly tout disinterest in their child's life as some kind of point of pride

The thrill of piecing together the vertically oriented, interconnected world of DS is such an amazing feeling.

@travisbaldree.bsky.social how'd I do

Loved the book btw

christian scripture is only intelligible to me as a fundamentally political argument against imperialism, occupation, capital punishment. The resurrection is a fantasized refutation of all empire
