Hello new chums!

We’re Brandt&Stein, and we make comics. Marvel, DC, Image, BOOM!, Dynamite and plenty of others. We like character acting, violence, silliness, and never drawing the same way twice. Currently working on a bunch of things we absolutely cannot talk about

A page of inks from Gotham City Sirens 4. The Sirens and White Rabbit are watching as Punchline avoids a stampede of animals, only to get cornered by some of them and dragged off.

A double page spread from CROWDED. Charlie is watching with increasing horror and nausea as Circe goes on a very violent rampage, killing a whole bunch of people outside the car

A splash page from Power Rangers Infinite, introducing Power Rangers Paladin Force, one of the many teams we designed. They’re all swords-and-sorcery knight themed,with Ranger diamond tabards, in a dynamic team pose against a stormy, mountainous backdrop

A double page spread from “Morgonna the Crimson” in Red Sonja: Black, White & Red. Sonja is doing a series of tasks only to receive unwelcome and effusive praise and gifts, the punchline hitting when she sulkily rides off on her horse, which is incredibly overladen with stuff, and there is a goose sat on her head

Acting in comics really is the good shit #WorstManOGN

I think the initial judgment has made it clear he’s lost all appeal, tbf

October 20th is the order cut off for DIE: LOADED, sequel to the three-time Hugo-nominated DIE. I've pulled together a short primer it with all the info you need on it - what it is, previews, full cover details (check out our sketch variant!) and more. Go nose! Join our party. It's an experience.

DIE: Loaded

The sequel to the three-times Hugo-nominated, award winning dark fantasy comic, DIE.

That rather assumes that he would be able to see anything in one

An obvious oversight given how quick they jumped on Optimus Primal

it's not FOR us

edited comic panel. Batman is breaking a lump-with-handle cow tool over his knee and saying "this is the tool of the cow. we do not understand it. we will not use it."

Are any of my followers lawyers (or know of lawyers!) who can discuss IP law around fan fiction and publishing? I have some questions about this practice for a piece I’d like to pitch

Stefan Mohamed @stefmowords.bsky.social · 10h

honestly why do we even bother

Substack post from Lincoln Michel:

"Alchemised debuts at #1 with massive sales, making it the THIRD Harry Potter Draco-Hermione friends-to-enemies fan fic to be turned into a bestselling novel in 2025. It's easy to say that publishers are just feeding readers slop, but harder to admit that they... enjoy it. They’re going to keep publishing it if people gobble it up by the ton."

Just announced at NYCC! A new Vertigo series from Grace and I about fandom, obsession... and parasocial chaos :)

the cover for Fanatic, a new series from DC vertigo by Hannah Templer and Grace Ellis. The cover depicts a woman cast half in shadow, looking back over her shoulder in a look of surprise as she is caught holding a shovel and wearing a tattered costume in a wooded area. The colors are in two tones of blue and red

Oh, interesting! I need to find time to really dig in, I don’t want to get to Yotei before I finish!

Why didn't Starscream get any of Megatron's messages the other day? He was in airplane mode.

Happy birthday, Daniel!

Ted (& technically Ro) @brandtandstein.com · 1d

This is so fucking weird. By the end of January all the line art will be done. By the end of February the art will be complete and our work on the book will finally be done. Still feels fake

Ted (& technically Ro) @brandtandstein.com · 2d

By the end of this month there will only be 41 pages of Worst Man left to do layouts for. The end isn’t creeping up, it’s barrelling towards us like the fucking Juggernaut

Anas is an amazing person and talented creator

Please signal boost and support!

#Comics folks, I need you to pull up to this one.

The world sucks right now, and we have the opportunity to do a little bit of good for a displaced and marginalized member of our community. Please join me in supporting this KS campaign!

www.kickstarter.com/projects/den...

If you're somebody who values supporting marginalized voices in comics, here's your chance to put your money where your values are!

The writer of this RINGO NOM’D INDIE COMIC (and a very dear friend of mine) is a Syrian Refugee who has been through more continuous hardships than I have space to list here; constantly navigating visa applications, unstable living conditions, predatory landlords (limited options as a refugee).

Anas just wants to make comics and live a normal life like what so many of us take for granted. Backing this campaign will help Anas to take the next step toward freedom and autonomy, helping to fund a move to another country with more stable employment options. This is truly one of the most important comics purchases you will ever make.

Middle Eastern and North African comics creators are some of the most underrepresented in the comics industry of the western world. Anas isn’t running a GoFundMe to support this move, and is not asking for charity. Simply, Anas is using their talent for storytelling, along with Dennis’ gorgeous art, to offer you a beautiful experience in the comics medium, that also goes toward funding a better life for Anas.

I’m so proud of Anas, and humbled by their experiences and perseverance. I would like to see Anas’ Dream realized, and I’d love to see this community help to make that happen. Please join me in pledging to the Etheres Kickstarter campaign! (link below).
