So, I finished Jeff Smith’s Bone today.
An overall staggering feat of committed comics storytelling. The continued quality of the cartooning alone justifies its success with (young) audiences. But it also strikes a deft balance between gag and gravitas. Deservedly evergreen

Incredibly sad news to hear about the passing of Jacopo Camagni, the Italian comic artist, whose work on Nomen Omen made a real impression on me.

Begging for the interesting times to stop

Rush tickets acquired

Kicking myself for not reading it earlier. Bone is just wonderful

Got a book haul in, so I made a little reel about the books and creators involved

Unfortunately, going outside actually does do wonders for your mental health

Oh nice, I might want to get this too then

Is this the big tomb stone edition? Or are all the extras included in the regular one as well?

A car almost drove onto the railway crossing as I was approaching during my shift tonight.

If work could stop putting the fear of god into me, that’d be great…

Some of the stellar comic book guests that have been announced for the FACTS Spring edition so far. As always I’ll be co-hosting several panels with these luminaries! @martinsimmonds.bsky.social @grcomics.bsky.social
Hope to see you there! April 11-12

A facet of comics that I truly love is that there are so many “forgotten” hidden gems out there.

Been on a tear for Valiant Comics lately, and I’ve picked up some of the Acclaim era books out of the back issue bins. This Solar: Hell On Earth mini by Christopher Priest et al. Is just phenomenal

Unfortunately the weakest of the 90s proto-superhero films. Slow, weird pacing, clunky fight scenes, exposition that arrives after everything is said and done… It’s a bit of a mess! But a joyous mess nonetheless.

Tonight, we are watching -and it was inevitable, really- THE PHANTOM

Great minds

Maybe it’s time to finally read BONE

I agree! @mcmcomiccon.bsky.social

Happy Valentine’s day! We had an early celebration last night, because my girlfriend was hired to bring her cosplay talents to a special screening of Wuthering Heights. I’m so lucky and proud to share this day with an amazing person, whose talent and passion inspires me every day. I love you, Roxane

Has there ever been a team-up in the comics (or other media) with the Shadow, The Phantom and The Rocketeer?

And yes, I’m very into these movies atm

We watched THE SHADOW for the first time tonight and, erh

This movie rules, actually?

Start the day with some Barry Windsor-Smith artwork!

Playing Tomb Raider 3 for the first time also means experiencing the pain of the Kayak for the first time 🥲

It's not every day that a comics great drops by your local comic book shop. Had a great time meeting Bob Layton at World’s End Comics and chatting about working on the Iron Man films, Valiant, and all things comics

I’m in this picture and I love it

Feels like an international nerd holiday when one of the absolute books drops

Doing some more research for a possible panel at an upcoming convention, maybe? 👀

10/10 comics

She did!

Took some pictures of my astounding girlfriend (palepainter on IG) as Margot Robbie’s Cathy from the upcoming Wuthering Heights

Finished Wonder Man last night.

Up there with the very best that Marvel Studios has ever offered. Yayah Abdul-Mateen II and Ben Kingsley deliver pure, heartfelt performances. The writing delivers on authenticity more than anything else in the MCU;
