The best way to promote comics is to talk about them. Share what you're reading. Celebrate what you love. With that in mind, time for my semi-regular rundown of stuff I've been reading recently. #ReadMoreComics

Started a little reread of NAILBITER by @joshuawilliamson.bsky.social, @mikeshenderson.bsky.social, & co. A compelling serial killer mystery that slowly unravels and gets more intense as it goes. If you like the genre this is a must read.

I'm up to G.I. JOE CLASSICS vol. 3 on my reread. By the goat Larry Hama, Mike Vosburg, Steve Leialoha, & co. This volume opens with arguably the greatest comic of the last 50 years. If you never read Joe #21 fix that. But every single issue is perfect. Loved it when I was a kid. Love it more now.

THE SMELL OF STARVING BOYS by Loo Hui Phang and Frederik Peeters. Frederik Peeters might be my favorite cartoonist working today so when I get a new book from him I save it for special occasions. As expected, this is one of the best comics I've read in years. Gorgeous, devastating, beautiful, weird.

And sidenote to any English language publishers reading. Please, please, please pick up the rest of Peeters' books for an English translation. At least someone publish RG and Saint-Elme. I'm begging you.

I read SUPERMAN: FOR TOMORROW by Brian Azzarello, @jimlee.bsky.social, and co. I would read Jim Lee drawn anything. A phonebook, an ikea instruction manual, my own obituary. Thankfully here we get a wild Superman story which keeps you guessing the whole time. I never saw the end coming.
