Hey! I'm Michael Busuttil, a comics editor & designer. I've worked on books like RADIANT BLACK, ROGUE SUN, and the rest of the Massive-Verse, the Eisner-nominated DEEP CUTS, Kid Cudi's MOON MAN, THE INFERNALS, and THE SINGULARITY!
I will mostly be here doing dumb bits for my own amusement.

and it honestly /rules/ that his next film after this was North, man. if you're gonna break this streak it's so much cooler to break it with one of the worst movies of all time than with some sad steady decline
We'll never see the likes of a run like this again

start the holiday season right
It's December which means it's time to post the generic Hallmark version of "All I Want For Christmas Is You" that the kids are calling "probably not legally actionable"

I love making comics so much. I love figuring out the pacing, how much to show vs tell, composing each panel and the page as a whole, clever little sound effects or lettering touches, finding ways to streamline the process without compromising quality. ☺️
Ideal story-telling medium if you ask me.

Goku is one of the most famous fictional characters of all time. he has an evil brother who shows up, dies immediately, and then no-one ever mentions him ever again
dragonball has basically become a persisting pop culture entity that won't ever go away which leads to funny things like the fanbase fixating on dudes like Nappa in a desperate attempt to make him a character

I was gonna write something about how letterers are the unappreciated backbone of the industry but I genuinely just got an email from a letterer delivering a draft that I have to go look at instead
Today, September 1st is Letterer Appreciation Day. Celebrated on Gaspar Saladino's birthday who was one of the greatest comic book letterers to ever pick up a pen. So, please appreciate the artistry of lettering which is more than just words on a comic book page.

when you're happy with the dialogue, cut 30% of it
Following up on my portfolio critique list: Any of you comics writers who teach feel like coming up with a list of 12 Things You Would Probably Tell an Aspiring Writer about their Comic Script?
Great idea! I'm not the guy to do it, but I'm sure it could be done: "The story starts on page three." "The protagonist's efforts would be more compelling if you established what the stakes are if she fails" etc.
