It’s truly an honor to be listed among such great creators in this thread. I have been fortunate to have worked alongside @byrononeal.com & @jimmygaspero.bsky.social throughout the years. Experiencing their dedication to journalism and interviewing pushed me to strive for more with KiG

So freaking excited for this title!

There are not better ambassadors for the medium than @sidewalksiren.bsky.social and @mouthdork.bsky.social. Their positivity and joy interacting with creators always puts a smile on my face and I can be a dour SOB. Give them a follow. www.youtube.com/@comicbookco...

@keepingitgeekly.bsky.social is the definitive source on the crowdfunding indie interviews scene. He's been laser focused for years consistently covering that space with an infectious enthusiasm that just never seems to waver. I love the dude. Cody is the best. www.youtube.com/@KeepingItGe...

Publishers alone cannot adequately promote books in 2026. The best thing you can do to help support the folks putting in the hours to cover them is to follow their shows. Here's a list of people I love. It's surprising that there's so little coverage overlap. Us 👇 www.youtube.com/@CryptidCrea...

“I don’t know any women that don’t have a story. Some of them are very mild and some of them are the stuff nightmares are made of, but none of them are good.” Kelly Thompson talks about her forthcoming project Universal Monsters: The Bride of Frankenstein Lives. youtu.be/1U1tT2OjWQs

Indie comics creators, here's your morning dose of reality. Making your comics isn't the hard part. @jimmygaspero.bsky.social chats with @cantbekilledcreations.com about the comics marketing hustle. Full interview 👇 youtu.be/Yg_6ZjqZG7w

Hit the link below to listen to my 300th episode of the @comicbookyeti.com Cryptid Creator Corner with @cantbekilledcreations.com There’s a lot of @ashcanpress.com praise in this one. @byrononeal.com said too much but I don’t think there’s any such thing.

There are a handful of people in comics whose hustle everyone should be paying attention to. T.S. is one of them. He's going to do something big. I'm calling it. Like, a decade from now but BIG. 😆

This absolutely applies to comics too. Well worth a read. I’ve been pondering algorithmic bias a lot lately as we are running the risk of “noteworthy” indie projects only being those dictated by annual awards lists and comics criticism reduced to the Absolute and www.elle.com/culture/book...

Hey fam, the Yeti is asking ya for a favor. @solissequentials.bsky.social has a great crowdfunding project that deserves more attention. It’s a strange mix of Tim Burton crossed with some dark bruja type shit with chupacabras. Please consider backing + sharing. www.kickstarter.com/projects/sol...

This makes the teenage me so happy. I used to draft untold numbers of heroes in the TSR Marvel Super Heroes Board Game. This doesn't have the same Dungeons and Dragons overlay to it but it's a blast seeing how the characters have been adapted to tabletop again.

My review of The Demon just dropped. Can we all just admit DC does magic better than Marvel? Cool, glad that's settled. I couldn't do this without, of course, rhyming. Yes, @luisgodoyii.com, it's in there. youtu.be/vBJtC-c3yHM

Let's get in the holiday spirit and get this funded so @therealgstoye.bsky.social will be forced to consume nasty pork products. @jimmygaspero.bsky.social is threatening me. cryptidcreatorcorner.com/episode/gran...

If we could get the same number of subscribers in a month as the number of emails Temu sends me, we’d be set. Help me get through the NYCC FOMO and give us a sub. 😆 youtube.com/@cryptidcrea...

And if you are wondering exactly what you are going to get "They've simulated the beaver anus flavor and now they use that in strawberry candies instead." Yep, that's an honest to goodness quote. I was surprised too.

Abraham Lincoln takes on a cadre of La Llorona capos flung into the past to preserve American unification in this alt history, time traveling John Wick styled Western adventure manga. This is so crazy I had to put together a review about it. youtu.be/RGz06uSEOsU

Did you know actor Danny Trejo is making a comic book? I'm sitting down with his co-creators Chris Yates and Keith Arem to hear all about this Aztec mythology meets Biblical Apocalypse mash up. (and they got Horsemen donuts!) 🤯 cryptidcreatorcorner.com/episode/chri...
