Comics will heal your heart, kid.

I was just asked in an email but to give everyone an idea of my prices...

I digitally color over a scan of the original pencils or inks (inks are preferable for the best results) and then provide a flattened tiff file back for printing, along with a png or jpg for sharing online.

Look, I'm just gonna tell cishet white people right now--Newsom ain't the one. You got Walz and Pritzker out here. You do not need a Bill Clinton clone wearing Mitt Romney's skin.
California Governor Gavin Newsom said on Thursday that the Democratic Party needed to be “more culturally normal” and “less judgmental.”

A million years ago, the chapter opened like this… bsky.app/profile/nsou...
The final 2 spreads to my cosmos/microcosmos continuous sequence plus a tiny glimpse of the whole sequence w/my thumbnails! With Nothing finished - I'm on to the start of Everything! A lot of fun & a ton of thought figuring out how to draw the undrawable!

It was very dark which makes sense as it followed after Infinite Crisis which was also dark and started with GL and GA going after villains so people like Libra and the Secret Society couldn't happen again.
Also, through the magic of the library i give books i didn't like the first time a second chance to see if i was wrong the first time or if my tastes have changed. This time it's Cry for Justice which i remember really hating at the time because it was so grim, much like Identity Crisis at the time.

I also checked out these Amazing Spider-Man collections, since I've been talking about Tarantula and minor Spider-Man villains i thought were huge back then.

From the Friends of the Library donation shelves I got Colson Whitehead's Zone One and Benjamin Percy's (@benjaminpercy.bsky.social)The Dead Lands. $4 total and the money helps the library!

Freaking beautiful!
The birth of our solar system - at last, closing up the penultimate page of this mammoth chapter exploring the origin of the universe in all its swirls of different sorts... It's been a long trip. And there is, to be sure, a lot going on on this page :)
Onward!

I also think command of form can absolutely raise a comic to the level of great literature. Moebius for example

I really like this series

Event Horizon Dark Descent #3

That was one of the most unnerving comics I think I’ve ever read. I wouldn’t have it any other way. This series is hard hitting and effecting, brilliant work.

This is a decision that can only happen when the people who founded the company lost sight of the reason they established this tier / how they themselves started. The whole reason that simulcasting+free ad-supported tiers were innovated in the first place was to deter people from pirating the shows!
Crunchyroll Announced that they are ending the Free Ad-Supported Streaming on December 31st, 2025

(This allowed you to watch certain titles for free without an active sub with ads)

As of reporting there is no changes with the other tiers

I loved this movie
Best (underrated) movie of the year.
Fascinado con FREAKY TALES, la mejor peli de Pedro Pascal de este año que dejamos pasar y está en streaming. Punk, Kung Fu, y palizas a nazis en los 80 que #StrangerThings nunca mostraría. Escribo en CINEMANIA sobre esta joya destinada a ser de culto: www.20minutos.es/cinemania/no...
