COME ON, MAN, I SPECIFICALLY FLEW OUT HERE TO AVOID THIS

I saw a documentary about the creation of Image. Very fun with great interviews. And I got an itch to get TPB’s with the first issues of every original title. I already had two and today I managed to get a third one. I wonder if such books exist for Spawn, Youngblood, Cyber Force and Wetworks 🤔.

I think part of it is his winning the general-- too many Dem electeds have pivoted to "well we need to appeal to his voters, now" and pinned their hopes on econ policies he's slow walking. Meanwhile the c3/c4s that would normally push protest are scared of martial law and loss of nonprofit status.

Here’s my variant for Wonder Woman 21, part of their “Supersmash-Up” line. Out in May. Real fun getting to come up with my own design for this.

It’s amazing how concerns about the President’s cognition disappeared on January 20, 2025.

200 million dollars of waste.

This is a technocratic coup that has taken over the US. They had our attention (social media) now they have our tax returns.

Lunar focusing on mindful growth for inventory and other aspects and listening to retail partners. A lot of technical improvements in retailer services, like dealing with multiple stores etc. Dashboard has been updated. #comicspro25

FINAL presentation is @upperdeckent.bsky.social - talking about their DC Annual collectible card set.

AND OUR FINAL PRESENTER Chip Zdarsky talking about Zdarsky Comic News, yeah a physuical magazine about comics shops. "Online is broken,so how did people get their comics news? With magazines!" ZCN has news and more stuff. Sorry this is very very funny but can't be captured in a skeet. #comicspro25

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Still thinking about Batman: The Cult. This is one of the coolest layouts for a fight I’ve ever seen in a comic. Bernie Wrightson rules.

It's time to call it. AI is built on a house of cards of intellectual property violations starting with Facebook which is starting to look a lot like a crime scene as held back discovery documents begin to be compelled and unsealed in court. /1

This. We been knew what these people were and said what they were and pointed it out each time and so many people yelled "hyperbole" and "over-exaggeration" and "lol paranoid" and now look at us. They have NEVER been shy about it.

#Comics Anyone in the Atlanta area able to recommend a good lcs for back issues??

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

If you are a Federal employee, this is an HR matter and make it their problem If you have union representation, see if they will call this an irregular evaluation by a member of the public

Guy who doesn’t even respond to the mothers of his children: reply to my email or you’re fired

Doing this while your child's mother is frantically trying to get in touch with you

If people were really just dying from chronic diseases then how come they weren’t dying from their chronic diseases until after March, 2020?

My favorite page from The Alternates comics. Took me forever but it was so worth it.

Big protest coming to Stonewall National Monument in just an hour or two. If you are in the area, get down there, be active, show your disapproval of the removal of transgender people from all online websites for the Stonewall National Monument page!

Reminder for my mutuals: misgendering is violence and never okay. No, not even if it is done to "people who deserve it". If your willingness to use the correct pronouns or name for someone depends on if you like them then you're not a safe person to be around. Same if you tolerate when others do it.

Worst. Episode. EVER.

New back issue read! DC Comics Presents issue 54 co-starring Green Arrow by Paul Kupperberg, Don Newton & Dan Adkins #Superman

In a brand-new Comic Creators Speak for @csbg.bsky.social at @cbr.bsky.social, I feature an extensive conversation I had with Wendy Pini and Richard Pini about the rich history of ElfQuest. www.cbr.com/wendy-pini-a...

another great example along with Wired and Teen Vogue of how real journalism these days can be a lot braver at outlets where no one is trying to get in good with the White House press secretary they’re out here with us, reporting on what’s happening to us all, instead of trying to get inside access

Usually when states go to court alleging federal coercion in violation of the 10th Amendment there is not a literal video of the President doing it.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

BREAKING: Associated Press is suing the Trump administration for violating the First Amendment. This is what needs done at every turn. Resist. Fight back. Well done AP👏

COMET Standard update: Announced last year, the data conversation has changed from separate problems to a more integrated approach. One thing was a rapid respone helpline for people to report bad data help@cometstandard. So far not overwhelmed with data - so send in your bad data! #comicspro25

COMET team is meeting with PRH regularly, and Lunar met with them this morning. The standard is adapting as implemented, adding 5 new fields. They continue to have regular meetings and working on a COMET Standard Validator. (I know this is boring but it is the future of comics) #comicspro25

A short presentation by @brian519.bsky.social talking about their POS system. They are official partners of the Lightspeed POS, and it integrates with Shopify for e-commerce. Manage has about $4 million in sales a month. #comicspro25

VIZ Media is up next - talking about highly anticipated projects like the reprint of Vagabond and upcoming The Climber. Also hits like Jujutsu Kaisen, Dandadan and Chainsaw Man. Coming in the fall: MOAN by Junji Ito, Kamudo by Akira Himekawa, and Kingdom from Yasuhira Hara (HUGE!!!) #comicspro25

Penultimate lunch presentation... Esther Kim from @stormkingcomics.bsky.social - run by Sandy King Carpenter and John Carpenter and their line of horror lines. #comicspro25

Talking about Storm King and John Carpenter is timely because here in the presentation room, it is a horror movie of ice and cold as the AC had been turned down to The Thing levels. #comicspro

From @stormkingcomics.bsky.social the Graphic Novel adaptations of THE AMUSEMENT PARK, a John Carpenter/George Romero lost film. #comicspro25
