This week in surreal life updates: the guy who wrote Blade and Dark Knight just said very nice things about my comic. Not saying I peaked today — but it’s gonna be hard to top this. 😅

This is Tabitha — the very first stranger to pick up my comic TIME SENSITIVE at my very first comic con table ever, at BICS last weekend. Not a friend. Not family. A real, live member of the comic-reading public. And she didn’t just flip through it politely... 1/4

A year ago, I was struggling to figure out how to even start making a comic. Today, Jorge Coelho is holding the finished inks for our entire first issue! It’s surreal, and it feels like a moment worth celebrating. This story has lived in my head for so long, and now? It’s real. 1/5

I’m sorry, but my comic Chris Pratt Makes One Billion Dollars Fighting Aliens or Robots or Alien Robots I Don’t Care Which Give Me Money is a very sincere work of art

Rock climbing keeps teaching me lessons. First attempt: Hesitated. Overthought. Fell. Second attempt: Committed. Made it easily. So much of life is the same. It's not that we can’t do something but that we think we can’t. Sometimes the hardest part isn’t the move, it’s believing you can make it.

Check this panel out! Jorge Coelho’s art is so good it makes me feel like I’m just here to staple the pages together! The guy takes a holiday break, comes back, and casually drops a masterpiece. Meanwhile, I’m double-checking my to-do list to make sure I actually did something today! lol

This series absolutely shredded me this year! Number 3 in the 2024 Top Ten Comics list: "Something is Killing the Children" from @jamesthefourth.bsky.social. I have to admit, I slept on this one for the past five years. Want to know why I changed my mind? 1/ #comics #comicbooks #strangelandcomics

I know, I know, putting "Saga" on our 2024 Top 10 list is hardly a surprise, it's been the greatest book published in the world for over a decade. But I wouldn't post a Top 10 list without it. Check out the entire Top 10 list a: StrangeLandComics.com #comics #comicbooks #top10

Fantask.dk in Copenhagen is one of those history-filled comic book shops that proves two things: 1. Comic book shops are magical. 2. I have zero self-control in comic book shops. I went in for the stories, came out with a suitcase full of inspiration. Join my newsletter @ strangelandcomics.com
