To win the Harvey Award AND announce you’re going to fight the whole DC Universe with a handheld circular saw within hours of each other… a truly bonkers comic-book flex. Congrats to the great @patrickhorvath.bsky.social!

Heidi MacDonald @comixace.bsky.social · 21h

Final award! Book of the Year presented by Nellie Kurtzman! It goes to Beneath the Tree where Nobody Sees. This announce is met by cheers and the closest thing to a standing ovation of the night. And Horvath is on hand to accept! "It's insane how awesome IDW's support for this book has been." #nycc

A billion dollars is the socio-political equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work as ruthlessly and diligently to prevent the acquisition of the former as we do the latter.

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

Billionaires Are Hoarding Power, Not Money

Billionaire money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

We're at the Gotham City panel at #NYCC. Announced: Sirens: Love Hurts. The girls are real; they fight and get pissed off, talk about each other behind their backs, but they're still all friends. The book has something for everybody. It will make you want to go party and get married.

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."

Comics shops numebrs in 2025: ComicHub sales are up 27% in August! Incredible growth rate. Comics and GN sales have gotten closer together a trend that hasn't happened in a long time both growing.

IN 2025...new comic buyers are flocking to store collectors being replaced by readers.

As DC Vertigo is coming with his classic logo, let's all praise its designer, the great RICHARD BRUNING.
He was DC art director for years and thanks to him we have Watchmen, The Dark Knight or The Killing Joke designs...

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
