I have a couple of new books coming out this summer and fall. It’s been some time since I last solicited through a distributor—who’s the “new Diamond” in comics or book distribution these days? 📚

Thank you, my friend.
The 25th Amendment must be invoked by the cabinet. I’m all for pressuring them. Congressional Dems should lead the charge. Not on Bluesky or Threads. Let’s do it.
