MATT FRACTION. Jorge JimƩnez. BATMAN #1 September. DC COMICS

Comic Book Club was a success! Thanks to everyone who came out to discuss 20th Century Men. Now I have to look for what book we should read next! I love talking comics.

šŸŒ’ BUMP IN THE NIGHT šŸŒ– Our fifth anthology is now open for pitches! Edited by @paulcarroll.bsky.social, Bump in the Night seeks tales of cryptids as eco-horror stories of nature vs society. Pitches close March 2nd. For full details visit: limitbreakcomics.com/bump-in-the-...

Big mood this morning

Today I was laid off from Dark Horse Comics. While devastating news, I'm so proud of what I helped make there and am grateful to have worked alongside such amazing coworkers and creators. I'm not quitting comics yet, so if you or someone you know needs a savvy editor please reach out.

The Ultimates is the best ongoing comic on the stands right now. Issue #9 is stellar. No spoilers, but this Luke Cage story is superb. Anyone who says political commentary and comics don't mix can take a hike. @denizcamp.bsky.social @comicbookkid.bsky.social #FedericoBlee

Noir's hard-boiled detectives often get caught in a web of intrigue and lust, but @spaceraygun.bsky.social digs deeper into the role of women in Laura and Singapore Sling. #Noir #Film #Essay gatecrashers.fan/2024/12/10/d...

idk who needs to hear this, but friendly reminder

Reeaaaaaalyyyyy need to get better about using this site. It feels sauceless over here tbh, but I do love the lack of 24/7 hate speech.

Every comic book retailer will say this to you. Pre-orders are vital because they show interest and enthusiasm, and that leads to sales. There are entire companies that we order nothing from because they get no pre-orders. This is why Pros keep going on about pre-orders so much.

I made a starter pack for anyone wanting to follow indie publishers! Let me know if I missed any. go.bsky.app/Pu7Vfj4

OUT THIS WEEK! THE QUESTION: ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER #1, from me, @ciantormey.bsky.social, Romulo Fajardo Jr., Willie Schubert, and DC Comics! What lurks within the JL Watchtower? Only one person can figure it out: Renee Montoya! Grab it wherever comics are sold! aiptcomics.com/2024/11/15/d...

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.

Worth remembering that a lot of bookstores participate in Small Business Saturday, the day AFTER Black Friday. Go to your local indie bookstore then and load up!

ā€œbluesky is an echo chamberā€ the echo is sanity.

hahahaha hell yeah, ancient 4D chess space nuns absolutely RIPS. The remaining five eps straight into my veins immediately #Dune #DuneProphecy

RNA viruses mutate so quickly that this is us, as a HUMAN RACE, losing the equivalent of at least century of data and understanding of novel diseases under his rule

ā€œYouā€™re building an echo chamberā€ really works as a way to force you to put up with bullshit you wouldnā€™t put up with on the street or in a pub or in your home.

I have to say I love it over here. Itā€™s positive, social, supportive, thoughtful, passionateā€¦ And the influx of people is amazing. I never gained followers this quick over Twitter.

There are currently only 22 films streaming on Netflix made before 1980 and not a single one made before 1960, with the oldest film on the platform currently being PSYCHO. I know Iā€™m a broken record but: buy physical media, support your local library, etc etc

If you're an aspiring professional writer (like me), this is the most important piece you'll read today. Maybe ever.

ABSOLUTE BATMAN #5 is going to be so good

Count me in for the old school sci-fi renaissance!

The remaining 2024 film releases from #a24!

This is still a work in progress but hereā€™s the comic book community starter pack I put together. Itā€™s got writers, artists, podcasters, YouTubers, reviewers, and more! If you fall under any of those categories please let me know and Iā€™ll add ya. Sorry if I missed anyone! go.bsky.app/FCRZGvn

THE DREGS A homeless meta noir. About an unhoused man who believes heā€™s a detective looking for a missing person in Vancouverā€™s downtown eastside. From myself, @lonnienadler.bsky.social, @ericxyz.bsky.social and Dee Cunniffe.

I love learning about new (to me) indie publishers. Can't wait to dive into GFP's literature!

Looking for fellow DC Comics enthusiasts after leaving the crisscross app? Here we are! This feed serves as a collection of YOUR engagement regarding all things DC. Be sure to include the tags #dccomics or #dccomicsky when you post. Search "DC ComicSky" under 'Feeds'. See ya around!

We recently got to chat with @joshuawilliamson.bsky.social and Tom Reilly about GI JOE #1 from @skybound.bsky.social. This means if you ever wondered about how GI JOE and wrestling would crossover, we have you covered! gatecrashers.fan/2024/11/14/t...

Oh, no problem, happy to help! Starting small is always a good idea! Zines, anthologies, group projects are great. Something low-stakes you can print 100 copies of and have a con table for $10. It's important your first attempts give you wiggle room to mess up, because you WILL. It's normal!

trying to get the ground rolling here- hi, i'm zee! i love writing about comics, sometimes i write about video games. feel free to email me at zeewritesaboutcomics @ gmail dot com if you want me to write for you! here's a thread of what i think is my best work, organized:

people who use goodreads: jeff bezos owns goodreads and if you want a better alternative there is a black woman owned company called storygraph that you can use to replace it. you can transfer all of your data from goodreads to storygraph and have your mind be free of trumpie jeff bezos! win win. šŸ’™

need Bluesky to take this little .bsky shit out the @ got us looking crazy
