HUGE NYCC NEWS! Just kidding. New issue has dropped! It’s a prequel to Necropolitan #1. This one doesn’t take place in Hell. It’s like one of those Orange is the New Black flashback episodes before they’re in jail.

It’s on Kindle too, but Bezos, ya know?

Comics reviewers and interviewers! We just dropped the 1st issue of a new NECROPOLITAN miniseries. Looking to spread the word! Anyone interested or know someone who would be?

gaseous cloud collapses, gathers into itself - heats up - remaining material thinly spread outward - only rock nearish, gas/ice farther still. Solar system is forming... Panels 10/30...
#Nostos #Unflattening 2

10 panels from a comics page in progress - in two rows of 5 each. Top row, panel one a gaseous cloud. 2-4 - supernova, its shockwaves colliding with that cloud. 5th panel see the cloud collapsing beginning to turn. Second tier - first panel - spinning gases, center warming. Panel 2 - great cloud of gas spinning and partly obscuring proto star within, panels 3-5, other side of protostar seen in prior panel - it's later in the solar system's evolution, we see no gas near the star, then a thin layer of rock and farther out gas - a differentiated disk swirling around the star...

In a functional state, this fascist would be impeached for this post alone.

Abolish ICE.
No troops in our cities.
No kings, no fascists.

Sit down for breakfast but because I have Truth alerts on my phone--professional hazard on the fascism beat--I learn five minutes after the fact that Trump is sending troops to Portland with authorization for "full force." Not a drill, friends.

Julian Darius is one of the best undiscovered comics writers today. His NEMOT RISING space-horror mini is part of a larger Martian Universe that’s like a Mitchener-esque Martian saga:

I figure I should probably pin an introduction post.

I'm a writer, reviewer, and general nincompoop. Most recently, I've been writing Classic Comic Compendium weekly for @comicsbeat.bsky.social for the past 2+ years. I much prefer spreading what I love than not.
