Mark O. Stack

Mark and I worked on a very fun comic in this magazine - go order it!!

These pages in chapter 01 are among my favorite. There's such a sensitivity that @jaisydayne.bsky.social brings to Percival that the comic wouldn't work without.

Total pablum. Honest to god horseshit.

I have completed the Carrie TV show. They kinda botched everything from the massacre onward. Confrontation with her mom completely absent of what makes the material so potent.

New page @ percivalcomic.com! This week, Percival sees his future.

Continuing the Carrie tv show. They have now directly done the scene from Chronicle where the undercooked Dicaprio crushes the car with telekinesis.

The coolest girl: INGRID

This is one of the most fun World Series games I've watched. Brewers are gutsy.

"You Can See Everything" is about how if your eyes are large and wet enough, people will empathize with you against their better judgement.

Some more recent urban sketching efforts. Done in person in Brooklyn, the NY Ren Faire, and Barcelona

Print copies came in! Will have those ready for mailing in November.

Disappointed the V for Vendetta movie cut out the part where V deafened the falcon so it could not hear the falconer and anarchy could be loosed upon the world

I did want a movie about Steve Rogers, after going back in time, putting all his effort into keeping the Dodgers from leaving Brooklyn instead of saving Bucky or stopping 9/11 or whatever

@keezyyoung.bsky.social dead man's bones coming BACK!

This comic popped up on my timeline yesterday and it's still one of my favorite things I drew last year:

Irish Americans really are weird about it sometimes ("plastic patty" is a tremendous bit of slander) but goddamn if those fundraisers for the Navajo Nation weren't the most affirming cross-cultural connection

I've talked up this pitch a lot, but I want to shout out my co-creator @biankatdraws.bsky.social for being an absolute dream to work with! Her character designs and pages on this are bursting with life and personality, and I think her art will do more to sell the book than anything else.

this article confirms what ive been telling younger comic writers for years: unless you are very wealthy, there is no point to table in artist alley at a big show (unless table comped). you will not make your money back & your time’s better spent meeting people www.comicsbeat.com/is-artist-al...

Oh my God, Comics Kingdom is actually adding new archive content.

The drama of the blood and torn mask at the climax of Spider-Man (2002) coupled with how those bastards were smashing each other through brick walls is still more exciting than every city destroying climax these cape movies have been trying to get over.

Not a lot of times I look back and go "that one should have worked," but damn I think Dog of War should have taken off given @maxpinelliart.bsky.social's pages:

Tough to walk around knowing our bones are wet

A Few Good Men is a stellar movie and one of the few to really identify how the military operates in a parallel world from the rest of the United States. It's not about the "brotherhood" but the official, unofficial, and the unofficially official rules of that society.

Why make a magazine all about knights, swords, and questing? The simple answer is that it speaks to me! And the longer answer is that the "knight in shining armor" remains a potent image for exploring the pursuit of higher ideals, how we fail them, how we grow from that pursuit even in failure.

There's a new page of The Education of Percival today! You can read a new page every Sunday at percivalcomic.com.

My partner and I are going to Disneyland next month, so now would be a great time for me to remind you to pre-order The Candle (shipping in November) because, dang, that thing was expensive to put together: weekendwarriorcomics.com/shop/p/ktt6x...

Picture book adaptation of "A Good Man Is Hard to Find" but it's all Where's Waldo spreads

You can see where I started to get better at assembling the pizza pumpkins

i think of myself as a hobbit of the computer, unbothered by the doings and goings on of push notifications or whatever weird animation is trying to get me engage with a new feature that doesn't matter
