I did this, and you should, too. They're coming after the trans community, and anything we can do to tell them their bullshit is unpopular, unwanted, and unjust, we should do.

Live in/around L.A.? Looking for something to do in March 7th and 8th? Like live theater? Like well-written plays performed by phenomenal actors and also maybe one comic book editor who used to be an actor? Well, friend-o, have I got news for you... www.onthestage.tickets/show/bespoke...

Your friend and mine @katebeaton.bsky.social has a new picture book, and it's out TOMORROW! It's called "Shark Girl" and if you can read these two spreads and NOT be totally taken by it, you have achieved the impossible. Out tomorrow at a bookstore near you! <3

Grosse Pointe Blank was the first DVD I ever bought. When I started trying to write screenplays, I took that DVD to my 10-hour overnight shift as a limo dispatcher and watched it five times in a row. A beautifully constructed and executed movie. Miami Blues is also incredible. RIP George Armitage.

🔊HOT NEW. COMICS PODCAST ALERT!🔊 Matthew Klein lives and breathes comics, I just listened to the first episode last night and it's good stuff. You want a big, broad, smart overview of the comics industry today, this is for you.

Continuing my celebration this month I wrote about the undeniable and legendary cool of Jim Kelly in "Enter the Dragon" the way it undermines the script and how despite his lack of acting refinement, it vaulted him into legend... www.departuresblog.com/actors-pov/2...

Every dipshit Trump-loving lickspittle with a fascism hard-on right now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRLe...

This is rad as hell, very cool of Mackie to do this. Publishing needs this kind of support from the Hollywood folks, you love to see it.

Not sure about ordering my new book Endeavour? Try before you order by reading the free ashcan at the link below. If you love it, and we think you will, go tell your local comic retailer/online comic shop before 2/10/24 which is final order day.

Two great creators, can't wait to see what they do together!!!

A friend of mine worked as US Aid for a number of years, traveling the world doing crucial life saving work. She sent me this link that puts the sudden, illegal stoppage in stark numbers. Can I ask as many of you you out there as possible to spread this link around? www.usaidstopwork.com

If you don't know Vita's work, they did great stuff during the Krakoa era in the X-Office, their book THE WILDS rules, and I cannot wait to read their Horizon Experiment book FINDERS KEEPERS. They talk about it on a GREAT episode of @ashcanpress.com 's podcast. open.spotify.com/episode/0bJh...

Comics community, I know there's A LOT going on right now, but I just heard that Vita Ayala had a fire in their apartment when a building burnt down next door. Sounds like they and their family are OK, but if you've got any ability to help out, Vita is good people. gofund.me/be26c49f

I'll be in TORONTO, at WEST END COMICS this Sunday co-hosting a Games Day to celebrate getting this book into the world! Noon to 4pm Play the game in the book for prizes! Or just come say hey and play other games more casually 🖖🏾🙌🏾💜

This is a dynamite little review. Barrie gets it! Be like Barrie! Read CYN! It rules!

I love this. Let's let 2025 be the year of spiteful altruism. FUCK YOU, I'M GOING TO TAKE CARE OF PEOPLE.

David is a friend & collaborator 💔 I've set up an auction on Whatnot to sell an original piece I made for David & some remarqued copies of the anthology we worked on together last year, When I Was Young. 👉 bit.ly/davidbauction 👉 This SAT - 2PM PST ‼️ 100% of proceeds go to David Pls share!!

I've know @davidbooher.bsky.social longer than anyone in comics--we were in college choral together. Never thought we'd both end up in L.A. writing comic books. David lost his home and everything in it, right before he has surgery. You can help support here: www.gofundme.com/f/recovery-f...

Anyone I've ever met who has worked with Tea has had nothing but absolutely glowing things to say, and the work speaks for itself. If you're in need of anyone with these particular set of skills, take a look.

This project sounds cool! Worth a look if you, like me, enjoy yourself a good cosmic horror yarn.

Can't wait for this one to be wrapped and in folks' hands, it's a banger!!!

I sympathize with Jon, it's a tough decision exactly HOW to back METAL HURLANT, there are so many good options! No bad ones! So however you do it, make sure you back it! Only a three days left! www.kickstarter.com/projects/hum...

In light of today’s events in South Korea, it’s worth re-examining Trump’s plan to purge the US military of non-loyalist leaders:

ALTER EGO is out today from @flatironbooks.bsky.social! Grab it from your local indie or wherever you get your books! us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

According to the article, Hochul's dodging the question of whether merely being undocumented means "criminal." If this bothers you, call her office and tell her NOT to help ICE deport undocumented New Yorkers. 518-474-8390.
