My feed is depressing. Let's put some positivity out there. Show me your wins. For me, our little comics interview podcast just celebrated our three year anniversary and Tuesday our 325th episode drops with over 500 comics creator guests having been on despite lupus trying many times to derail it. 🤘

Read something other than comics before you try to make comics. Don’t get me wrong, read a SHITLOAD of comics. But also read prose fiction, non-fiction, biographies, textbooks, encyclopedias, and other kinds of books. Comics inspired only by other comics are not good comics.

Staffing a comic store is like playing moneyball with neurodiversity.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Comics is people. The people who make comics. The people who sell comics. The people who read comics. And it’s the best thing in the world.

This was the greatest advice given to me about making comics. Not long ago a kid in my building asked how to make comics. I told him something similar. Hearing it from Greg really solidifies its truth. Y’all wanna make comics: MAKE COMICS. Doesn’t have to be the best, just has to exist ❤️

It came up last night but I'll say again - for Scarlet Witch readers, especially those looking for deep dives into magical concepts and abstracts, I can't suggest Promethea enough. A wonderful book, an influence on SW, one I've loved since it came out. www.dc.com/graphic-nove...

The news is out – I was fortunate enough to be asked to provide a cover for Sophie Campbell's / @mooncalfe1.bsky.social new SUPER GIRL series, out in May 2025! @dc.com

If you care about other people, thank you. You're way ahead of the game in 2025.

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

This week @chriscross.bsky.social and I celebrated the debuts of our comic books, THE SHADOW CABINET and WEAPON XMEN! 1 year ago, we celebrated the debut of our Harlem Renaissance story THE WINTERFIELDS in NOIR IS THE NEW BLACK EXPANDED EDITION! See you in February 2026 with our new projects!😎

YET MORE presentations at #comicspro25 and some big ones. Starting with @yenpress.com Mark deVera lays out types of readers to market to : the Moebius fanboy/BD lover - sell them The Color of the End: The MIssion in the Apocalypse.

I really love comics. I love reading comics. I love making comics. I get excited when cool comics get announced and I’m proud of my friends when they make good comics. I really love comics

Happy birthday, Dwayne McDuffie. Mentor. Friend. North Star.

It was great to be with my brother in arms @josephpillidge.bsky.social at the @anyonecomics.bsky.social location last night. Like last year, coming together to drop some knowledge of the industry from a brother’s eyes and pass that on to the men that showed up for us. The black history in comics.

From Steve Geppi to Donald Trump, somehow the absolute stupidest egotistical people take control of things. Smart people and ethical people need to stop this "questioning if you are ready for more responsibility" nonsense.
