Spooky looking fellow!

You bet! β€οΈ
I just backed The Comics Courier, A Comics Criticism Journal [Issue 3] on @Kickstarter and added Issue 1 to complete my set! It's the coolest newspaper you'll get!
Please - stop doing the screenshot no link thing on Bluesky. This platform does not punish you for posting a URL. You picked up the habit from Meta apps? Stop doing Mark Z's bidding. Link ESPECIALLY to authors, reporters, bloggers, etc. where you quote the work.
My @fantagraphics.bsky.social "fire sale" order arrived today. Pretty good trio of books here. #comicsky #indiecomics
You bet, I'll have the Shimizu B cover ready to pick up this week!
Very cool and simple breakdown, ya gotta love it. Also, didn't realize the aim was for an ongoing, so that's exciting!
if thereβs someone whose takes you consistently like on this app, find out if they have a non-app body of work and support it
Do they draw comics? Buy some! Do they write Star Trek books? Borrow them from the library! Etc
This week's #newcomics roundup. Brought to you by the colors Red & Black. #comicsky #localcomicshopday
Wow, haven't thought of Maniac Magee in a long time.
Totally random, but since I came across this on Discover: holy shit! I read your book Transmission my junior year of college (2009ish) and it was one of my favorite reads of all my literature classes! So, thank you for that!
Highlights from this week's #newcomics pickups (&more!) - @ignitionpress.bsky.social bundle of goods, @joelvdk.bsky.social's Fortress #2 from @strangers.bsky.social & Roam comics, Zdarsky Comic News, and the Best Of John Prine! Betcha never seen John & Manga Kirby in the same picture! #comicsky
Appropriate #BatmanDay post. From Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum #2 by Team Ice Cream Man (W. Maxwell Prince, Martin Morazzo, and Chris O'Halloran)
Just a reminder that all of this shit we're seeing is completely designed to make us feel crazy. They lionize bigots as peace warriors to make us feel like we're losing our grip on reality.
They pretend to believe in a god that they defy every day &then call us sinners. Don't let it work on you π
I don't expect to get my happy ending. Too many hearts and minds turned against my becoming my authentic self. But I will keep becoming, keep fighting, keep sharing, keep writing. And when they come for me, I'll sink my teeth into their necks and take as many of them with me as I can.
Lots of good comic shops or comic resale shops have pretty good "physical media" sections as well!
Big empty candy box, "I don't feel so good, Doc!" π
Got my Stash Box package (my stash package?) from @ianface.bsky.social & @frederikhornung.com - very excited! The whole shebang! Support those indie creators!
Got my copy of The Columbus Scribbler today! Top 50 comic characters of all time! Exciting. @briancanini.bsky.social
So, I read the book Monday night, and sure enough, yesterday after work I got a call that my mom (who has been in failing health for this whole year) is finally being moved I to hospice care.
Regardless of universal irony, I thought this book was very sincere and I'd recommend it to anyone.
Helluva cool bundle of zines & comics from @microcosm.bsky.social just arrived! An unbelievable deal as well! Support those little guys, gals, and nonbinary pals!
Those amazing pulpy covers make me nostalgic for a time I never even knew. Great stuff. I think Action and Detective should bring those style covers back!
Also, what in the name of @fantagraphics.bsky.social did I score from the dollar box? These covers are amazing. #comicsky
Finishing up the weekly #newcomics with the pick-ups from the second shop! Finales, new arc beginnings, and anniversary legacy issues! Comics! Had to get that sweet @knowlan.bsky.social Strange cover!
And a nice small haul of #graphicnovels / collections. Very excited to dig into @jesselonergan.bsky.social's Drome. And the other two are undeniably cute.
My #newcomics pick-ups from one shop. Great batch of indie books, and a freebie issue by @mattielubchansky.com. Sweet spread of artists in @rachaelstott.bsky.social @stevelieberart.bsky.social @thatjacobphillips.bsky.social & @philhester.bsky.social - those writers aren't bad either!
Oh man, that's a pretty cabinet!
It's true!
But if you go in and try to ask somebody where the Drink Cooler Stick is, no one will be available to help...
