The final storyline from my comic strip, Stanley, that was published in the 90’s. This is the first time I’m sharing the finale since the original publication, and the very first time in color. A Bluesky exclusive. Phil finally gets a boyfriend… but will he screw it up? #Pride 🏳️‍🌈 1/2

Stopped by the Albany Comic Con today. It’s a small con, but we have some big names who live locally. Got my beat-up but well-loved copy of GL Corps #201 signed by living legend, Joe Staton.

My 7 year-old niece asked me to fix her Casey Jones Turtles of Grayskull figure. His leg broke and she gave him a scotch tape cast and crutches. I love her so much. 😭

Radar falling asleep with an Avengers comic on MASH. The Korean War ended in 1953, 10 years before the first Avengers comic was published.

Do any of my comic buddies on here have a current Overstreet guide beside them and the free time to look up a couple of books in it for me? DM me please!

Mixed feelings about the Midnight books. X-Men: Beautiful art, Hickman writing X-Men, but sorta feels like world building for its own sake. Spider-Man: Interesting story, but not a fan of the Manga-style art. FF: The most compelling book of the three for me. Good art, solid story.

My one gripe is the lack of connective tissue between the three books other than “dark”. Is this a shared universe? I really can’t tell yet. But I’ll stick around and see where it goes…

The whole Webtoons/Marvel thing is a reminder why I don’t buy digital comics anymore unless they’re PDF’s. So tired of having to worry about my how to transfer my library every time.

Boosting this for my friends in the Big Apple. 🍎

I loved the Superfriends comic when I was little. It was the first comic I looked at and realized someone actually drew that. Ramona Fradon was my first favorite artist. ❤️

Reading some Silver Age Superman, and had a random thought. What if Krypton’s heavy gravity was the reason Krypton had no space travel? What if Krypton’s mass made it nearly impossible to launch anything into space other than a small rocket with a very light payload, like a baby for instance…

Today is National Comic Book Day! Drop a pic of the first comic books you remember reading. My grandma gave me this comic when I was four. I remember asking my mom to read it to me because I was still figuring out how to read.

Today is National Comic Book Day! Drop a pic of the first comic books you remember reading. I remember getting this comic off the spinner rack as a "Thank you for behaving in the grocery store" kind of bribe from my mom. I've been hooked ever since.

h-hey can I show you something? this is the first piece of art I've made based on the book I'm writing 👉👈 She's a 10, but she's also a malignant forest made of poisons.

I buy a lot of stuff on Ebay, but I’ve never actually bid on anything. I just look for the most reasonable price and I buy it. Offering someone less than they’re asking just feels mean to me somehow. Is that just me?
