You’ve heard of teaching reproductive health at home, but may I interest you in teaching history at home?

This book is good and you're a fool if you don't read it.

Did you go to his conversation with Matt at Powell's when this came out? So good!

a black and white edit that reads "the future includes trans people". around the text is a floral pattern. the image is grainy

Well that's because you've got GOOD TASTE!

Tim and DB are incredible collaborators who put a ton of care into making their stories work as issues and a whole narrative. I think you'll enjoy the series! @timdanielcomics.bsky.social @dbandry.bsky.social

It's monumentally hard for me to accept kudos, but I truly appreciate @zackquaintance.bsky.social for calling out my work in his excellent review of Estuary #1. "Clarity of vision" is the highest praise I could ask for my slate, and I'm thrilled that comes across to readers.

He recorded a conversation about six months ago with Otomo about Domu: A Child's Dream, which was almost immediately taken down by NHK 😭

imagine even thinking about using ai when a living breathing master of the craft is putting his knowledge on youtube for free

Look at those kind words about my work on this amazing book.

✅ Northern California's dark, cold waters
✅ Hotties investigating mysteries...and more
✅ GHOSTS

For all these reasons and more, make sure you add Estuary: A Ghost Story to your pull-list! @timdanielcomics.bsky.social @dbandry.bsky.social @stevecanon.bsky.social @tayloresposito.bsky.social

I interviewed the directors of that incredible animated Gorillaz music video:

30 years ago Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club accurately predicted that men under late capitalism, empty consumers who had come to think of themselves as “the middle children of history” with no great wars to fight, would eventually prank and shitpost their way into fascism.

It’s amazing what @alexpaknadel.bsky.social and @angoranapkin.bsky.social accomplished in fewer than 200 pages in their adaptation of the ~base~ game. There is no single COTL story, but this one is damn good! Last Sacrament Special is out March 4!

CULT OF THE LAMB: LAST SACRAMENT special by @angoranapkin.bsky.social and myself drops tomorrow. It's the culmination of our take on the game, and the response has been overwhelming. Thank you to @besspallares.bsky.social, @gorinson.bsky.social and @oni-press.bsky.social for making it happen.

So sad to share that legendary colorist Tatjana Wood has passed away at the age of 99. Her pioneering painterly touch graced scores of DC & Vertigo series. She was truly one of a kind and a special friend. May her memory be a blessing.

A 65 year old legally blind and disabled woman says she has unintentionally lost 28 pounds because she can’t afford enough food under the Trump administration.

“Like the previous caller said, the end is coming near, and it couldn’t be any more true than for me.”

Heartbreaking
