Been a huge fan of his work for several years now, and was still wholly unprepared for how much he was going to split my head right down the middle with this book. Kinda comic that feels like it's changing everything.

That book is next level. The Absolute line is a fantastic, lovely surprise. Martian Manhunter is too good for just single issues: I'm gonna have to get the entire trade of it for my shelf.

i knew that for the sake of my finances, i could only choose one absolute book to pull physically, and i chose correctly. it is far and away the crown jewel of my pull box.

The whole Absolute lineup are instant classics, in my book. I'll definitely be buying the trades when they come out.

Worth looking back at his catalog I might add! His work is always imaginative and challenging beyond expectations.

In his day, Zot was a great inspiration, a path to follow. Later, Understanding Comics was a book I studied and used to teach the language of comics until today. This post means a lot to me. Thank you, Scott. ♥️

Wonderful to hear, Javier! Thank you so much 🙏

(…and now I will try to spell your first name correctly in the future—sorry! 😂🫤)

And you both are great great people that I love. Not sure if that's important but I had to point it.

Y’all - This sweet exchange, by three of the most astute and inventive comics practitioners, just made my day.

Zerou a vida, @javierrodriguez.bsky.social 👏👏👏👏

It's a Brazilian expression that literally means "You’ve completed life", as in you've achieved something so amazing, fulfilling, or enviable that there’s nothing more left to accomplish — like a player who finishes a video game 100%.

He is an amazingly inventive visual storyteller.
