Hi, new Bluesky followers! Three things to know about me: 1) I'm working on a MG graphic novel for @madcavestudios.bsky.social/Papercutz with @maxbare.bsky.social that's going to be fantastic, in several ways. 2) In 2013 I wrote the hottest Star Wars comic of Dec. 2020. 3) Also, I do PR for Nintendo

I've been thinking this too. There's so much about modern life that's just self-apparently WRONG, and we all feel it, and practically no one is out here saying "We will at least try to make things better."

"The thousand injuries of Grover Elmo had borne as Elmo best could, but when he ventured upon insult Elmo vowed revenge."

This is awful.

In January, Hello Darkness #29 kicks off "The Haunt Without: A Vic Hammond Mystery," a 3-part story by me and @neogi.bsky.social starring a character we co-created: Vic Hammond, PI…that is to say, Victory Hammond (a Nigerian/Ghanaian British woman living in New York City), Paranormal Investigator

TRADECRAFT MANOR is up for pre-order in Boom's January 2027 solicits! It comes out March 23, but you can start asking your comic shop for it NOW, or look it up on League of Comic Geeks…or pre-order it at your local independent bookshop, or online at Bookshop.org. Lots of ways to check it out!

Bad Art response to bad art

No seriously. What are these?

Someone who knows about clouds... What the hell is up with these clouds?

Hwhat??

Oh hell yeah

you're just going about your day and you now get to read stuff like "Trump says Sundar Pichai talked him out of renaming the Atlantic Ocean" and you just have to nod and move on with your day. “Oceans are different, sir.” lmao www.theverge.com/policy/10167...

My new favorite boomer AI Slop (featuring Looney Tunes again for some reason) just dropped

I expend a lot of energy these days trying to turn AI off! I would be very happy if it went away. www.techspot.com/news/114234-...

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

The wonderful artist on my current book keeps posting photos of himself having to do poses for reference. In the latest one, he's holding a sword. It's very easy to write "Character does X." It takes a lot more than that to bring it to life.

Damn it, COMIC strip. You know what I mean.

I didn't realize what an incredible legacy the Phantom coming strip has had. It's run for 90 years and has been written by a total of two people...and now Alex!

When I started writing about Supreme Court expansion, you couldn’t get the question *asked* in a poll. The first time I saw it actually polled, it was 8%. Now, we here.

Reminder to all my comics homies as NYCC rolls out announcement after announcement of new projects: Anything announced this week has been in production for months, maybe years. You are not being left behind. You are not failing. It's okay. Take a deep breath and keep working on projects you love.

Every year I look forward to Batober.
