An interview with comics writer Fred Kennedy about his Mad Cave Studios project Florida Hippopotamus Cocaine Massacre. I lived in Florida. This is not as outlandish as it might seem.

Got a sneak peek at Dead Teenagers from @judedoyle.bsky.social @caitlinyarsky.bsky.social and @oni-press.bsky.social. With a satisfying coming of age nougat at its core and marinated in 90s horror with cultural trappings to match, this is an early 2026 appointment read for me. ☠️

Shout out some of the amazing comics projects we’ve seen this year that you love. No big 2 (you can but it won’t be considered as we focus on indies.)
