Theres several solid titles week but today belongs to Assorted Crisis Events! Anthologies can be a hard sell but what Zawadzki/Bellaire bring to Camps excellent script is next level comic booking that succeeds on a character level while also capturing the moment. Compelling and thought provoking.

Shout out to Black Mask Studios for making ordering directly from them as a retailer super easy and being so responsive!

CREATOR OWNED OR DIE COMICS ARE BETTER WHEN THEY ARE OWNED BY THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE THEM. Giant Generator wave 3 is underway at our wonderful home of pure creator owned comics, Image Comics. A small teaser of the next line of amazing books I co-created and co-own. @imagecomics.com

Looking forward to selling Assorted Crisis Events (among other great comics) tomorrow! Had the opportunity to read this in February and I’ve regularly thought about both it’s execution and content since.

Are you a fan of The Comics Courier? Guess what? More Comics Courier will be coming soon! To make sure you don't miss the memo, head over to our Kickstarter Pre-Launch page and hit the "Notify Me On Launch" button! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tif...

Assorted Crisis Events is really f-ing good

Finishing this Criminal HC and Beasts of Burden today! Just wrapped Helen of Wyndhorn. Loved it again. Evely and Lopes are one of my favorite art pairings rn.

Lfg!!!!

Now that the Nice House by the Sea #6, our mid season finale, is out and we are taking a small break I wanted to put together a thread about narrative choices, hope you find it interesting! Of course, it’s filled to the brim with SPOILERS, so be aware!

If you want to have a career drawing comics, take a look at the page-design and character acting techniques Álvaro applies to his pages. Every single panel is packed with thought.

Daredevil is fun!

@darkhorse.com announces the third volume of the queer vampire mystery 𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘢 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘌𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭 from @amychu.bsky.social and @sooleedraws.bsky.social hitting shelves this fall and we are excited. Preview and details ⬇️ www.comicbookyeti.com/post/amy-chu...

An extra special NCBD because not only did I grab my pull stack and some hc/tpbs (Helen of Wyndhorn, Redcoat, Convert!) but issue 1 of the comics courier came!

So excited to see the return of @juniba.bsky.social’s Monkey Meat! I think the first series is one of the best comics of the last quarter-century and can’t wait to dig in to The Summer Batch.

Before I'm off for the night, I wanted to remind you all this is the final week to order/subscribe to Resurrection Man: Quantum Karma. Issue 1 is out in April!

Difficult Saturday night life choices: Do I read the Criminal HC or the Beasts of Burden compendium first?

FML is the first comic I have my mom reading in single issues and I cannot wait for her to get this one! Some exceptional bits of cartooning, gut wrenchingly real emotional beats and life in all its messiness.

We’re streaming this incredible round table at the shop! Get hyped about some of the coolest books coming this month with us www.youtube.com/live/dbTIMQm...

Really enjoyed the first issue of Far Down Below! I can’t wait to see where Chris takes these characters and this world.

It's a testament to just how amazing ABSOLUTE MARTIAN MANHUNTER #1 is that both @denizcamp.bsky.social & @javierrodriguez.bsky.social on a project inherently sets the bar sky high...and yet that read still felt absolutely fucking UNREAL. This is fuckin' comics. I ended my read grinning ear to ear.

Tomorrow at 5pm EST, join @juniba.bsky.social, @tylerboss.bsky.social, @denizcamp.bsky.social, and myself as we have a live roundtable about storytelling, the creative process, and our brand new @imagecomics.com series!

Is my deluge of YOU'LL DO BAD THINGS posting overwhelming you? Unsure which link you should click ? How do you make the right choice? Which link is the link for me? Well fret no further! We have a gathered it all under one roof for you: imagecomics.com/press-releas...

Absolute Martian Manhunter issue 1 preview pages! Plus a long interview with Deniz and yours truly about this fascinating project. www.cbr.com/exclusive-de...

Dont sleep on We're Taking Everyone Down With Us! One of my favorite first issues of the year so far. Great art, real heart, and a few out loud "oh damn"s and "hahah"s

Void Rivals #19 comes out in MAY! I count it among among the chief fortunes of my life to have been able to pencil and ink this issue. It was an incredible thrill and pleasure to draw this world, including WRECK-GAR! bsky.app/profile/skyb...

i got to read @denizcamp.bsky.social, @javierrodriguez.bsky.social and hassan otsmane-elhaou’s absolute martian manhunter #1 early. fucking incredible. my favourite #1 of the line alongside absolute batman #1. it’s beautiful. the angle is nothing like i expected it to be in the best way possible.

This is a rad local event run by the high schoolers! Check it out

ABSOLUTE MARTIAN MANHUNTER #1 FULL COLOR PREVIEW! When idealistic FBI Agent John Jones is caught in a suicide bombing, his mind is invaded by an alien consciousness! @javierrodriguez.bsky.social @ssnyder1835.bsky.social @dcoffical.bsky.social @chrisconroy.bsky.social @katiekubert.bsky.social

Knives have been stuck in my head all day. Saxophone belongs in hardcore and post punk and metal. youtu.be/Z4ZihBvTocU?... Anyone listening to any new bands or releases they’re super pumped on?

Maybe my most anticipated big 2 title of the first half of the year

The wait is finally over! From NY Times bestselling writer @shanito.bsky.social, co-writer Branden Boyer-White, and fan-favorite artist Berenice Nelle, more spoopy tales await you in the next chapter of the YA queer graphic novel series in HOLLOW: THE WOMAN IN WHITE! boomstud.io/HollowWomanI...

Godzilla Heist was a ton of fun, and more directly a Godzilla book that is also a heist (rather than a heist with a backdrop of Godzilla) than I was expecting. The movie homage variants are all rad too.

Image Comics shares 'Nights' creators thoughts on new TV show @imagecomics.com #comicbooks #comics Get a word from the creators here:

My man @tylerboss.bsky.social made one of my favorite books of the past few years in DEAD DOG’S BITE, and hell if he isn’t set to do it again with YOU’LL DO BAD THINGS, a giallo-inspired slasher tale that had me hooked from the first page. Preorder it now!

What are you reading tonight?

“Something bad always happens.” 🔪 ✍️ Got an early look at @tylerboss.bsky.social & @adrianoturtulici.bsky.social's upcoming slasher series YOU’LL DO BAD THINGS from @imagecomics.com. Horror fans: you’ll definitely want to pick this one up. The inaugural issue hits shelves on March 26th!

www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie... LETS GOOOOOOO! So pumped for more people to discover this series, and Alexei Bochenek's comments mirror so many of the discussions about this book weve had in the shop over the last 12 issues!
