Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

Probably a hot take but I think the Wax & Wayne books are some of Sanderson's best overall.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

People have power. Ask Target

I'm biologically incapable of saving money, so I have but one option.

Artists working in mainstream USA comics: Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, Image, etc. all expect art to these dimensions. I'm seeing more and more disregard for the standard specs, and it affects everyone's deadlines to have production try and wrestle your art into proper proportions.

hey comics bluesky! a WHOLE bunch of people have joined in recent months and it’s been a while since i’ve seen a creator thread do the rounds- if your a writer, artist, inker, colourist, letterer or editor post below who you are and what you do and hopefully we can get some eyes on your work!

A running theme today is "I wish I had more time." Here's Magik at number #22. I've drawn here every birthday for the last 9 years, I'm not stopping now. #kevcon

If I wrote Captain America I would retcon his origin so he was bitten by a radioactive America.

the last few days has been a reminder that people really want to believe that not only is there this real thing called a β€œcriminal,” and that if they need to, anyone can just prove they aren’t one

Peter David left an indelible mark on me through his X-Factor runs and one of my favourite books on writing for comics. A legend of the industry and, in many ways, one of its unsung heroes. RIP

I still don't know how I feel about 3 a week, but I respect it as a method of structural storytelling (and it's still better than all at once). tbf I think I'm just resentful Andor is over next week already!

Credit where it's due I think they managed to make a futuristic Predator movie I'm actually excited for. Doing something different with a franchise IP will always win me over.

Sinners is the kind of movie that inspires the next gen of artists

I can see a lot of people reading this as propaganda, but I don't think it is. It breaks POV to show you the mess they leave in their wake.

The mission is pointless. It falls apart immediately, destroys a neighbourhood, and soldiers' lives. They don't underline it, but they achieve nothing and that's the point.

Garland's 'Warfare' is a well made, but excruciating watch. A simple, tense story, with strong anti-war undercurrents.
