What up #PortfolioDay!

We’re Brandt&Stein, and together we make comics. Marvel, DC, Power Rangers, some Darkwing Duck, and a lot more besides!

We co-created Marvel’s first trans mutant (Escapade), made Green Arrow’s son asexual, and drew the multi-award nominated CROWDED.

Nice to meet you!

A page from Great Petspectations, printed in Harley Quinn: Black & White +Redder issue 2.

Panel 1: a header says “fourth event, extraordinary talent” as we see Haley, the three-legged Bitewing riding a unicycle while balancing a ball on her nose.

Panel 2: Haley is yelping in shock as paintballs hit her, knocking her off the unicycle.

Panel 3: Robin looks pissed, snatching Harley’s paintball gun away from her. Harley looks more smug though, as she is looking at…

Panel 4: the pet show’s judges are melting down as The Squiddler does his mind-reading trick and is writing their bank account numbers on a whiteboard.

Panel 5: Harley is giving a serious pep talk to Bud and Lou, her hyenas.

Panel 6: Harley’s going full pageant mom, putting the fear of god into Bud and Lou.

A double page spread from “Morgonna the Crimson,” first printed in Red Sonja: Black, White & Red 5.

Panel 1: Sonja’s kicking an evil wizard out of a small village.

Panel 2: Sonja’s running away, overwhelmed by the unnecessarily fervent gratitude of the villagers.

Panel 3: Sonja is stood, fuming, as a cardboard standee advertising someone who is clearly biting her style in terms of outfit.

Panel 4: Having defeated a monster and tied it up, Sonja is running and yelling at the people loading unwanted rewards onto her horse.

Panel 5: Sonja is walking through a forest, tearing down every poster put up by her imitator.

Panel 6: Sonja is leaping, sword swinging, at a giant inflatable standee of her imitator outside a wagon dealer.

Panel 7: an extremely grouchy Sonja is riding her terminally-overburdened horse. There is a goose sat on her head.

A double page spread from CROWDED issue 3.

Panel 1: wide across the top of both pages, showing an airport drop-off point and Trotter, the celebrity Reapr killer, standing out the sun roof of his limo, talking to his adoring fans.

Panel 2: inside the airport, Circe the assassin has noticed a bright-looking suitcase on the baggage claim that clearly isn’t hers.

Panel 3: outside the airport, now with the suitcase, Circe is walking towards another limousine.

Panel 4: at the limousine, Circe places her hand on the fingerprint scanner, her technological gloves hacking it, causing it to accept her as its intended guest, Mr Hufnagle.

Panel 5: full page width, split panel. On the left half, Trotter is in his limo, talking to his assistant Cameron. On the right half, Circe is in her limo rooting through her stolen suitcase.

Panel 6: Trotter is walking up to a hotel, posing for paparazzi.

Panel 7: Circe is climbing out of the sunroof of her limo.

Panel 8: Circe is jumping off her limo in the middle of the street, letting it continue to its destination.

A comics splash page. We’re looking out over a vibrant night scene at a food market filled with an eclectic and weird mix of people milling through it. Above the market a sci-fi city stretches into the distance, each area having its own architectural style and gravitational direction. Nearby a hover-bus is pulling into its stop.

I'll be hanging out with my buddy @bobharrison.bsky.social tonight to talk about THE OCTOBER GIRL, DC's MISFITS OF MAGIC, and anything else we feel like talking about tonight on PopCultureSquad LIVE.

I'm sure JON SABLE, FREELANCE will probably come up. It usually does.

A poster for Pop Culture Squad Live. I'm doing it tonight at 8 PM EST

This is like complaining an artist didn’t draw every single leaf in a tree

That is the level of nitpicking we’re at

Anne 🔜 NYCC 💫 @annecomics.bsky.social · 1h

Yeah, that’s a bad sign

It means the Strawberry Man is back

He’s escaped his 300 year imprisonment

Dear god…

The fact that in the actual bubble Hassan does a great job of reflecting tone through the letters he chooses and these people are nitpicking that a throw away bit isn’t perfect?

It’s just really cool how you heard the term “letterer” for the first time like an hour ago and already you’re in a position to tell me when they’re good and when they’re not, that’s super cool

Anne 🔜 NYCC 💫 @annecomics.bsky.social · 2h

“Realistic”

IT’S A WORD BUBBLE IN A COMIC BOOK, MY GUY

Anne 🔜 NYCC 💫 @annecomics.bsky.social · 2h

The absolute fucking state of this

“They didn’t do this absolutely superfluous and fun thing the way *I* would have done it so clearly they’re a bad letterer”

That’s fucking insane

That’s some bullshit

I guarantee you have no actual clue what the job of a letterer actually is

Anne 🔜 NYCC 💫 @annecomics.bsky.social · 3h

It’s not a mistake, they literally just wrote the letters backwards because—again—it’s a single panel in a comic that was 40 pages long. It’s so unimportant that the letters were “reflected”, because, once again, I don’t need them to be perfect to understand the point of the fucking image

Anne 🔜 NYCC 💫 @annecomics.bsky.social · 3h

That’s fucking hysterical

Anne 🔜 NYCC 💫 @annecomics.bsky.social · 3h

“But if I can’t read it backwards” YOU DON’T NEED TO READ IT BACKWARDS

YOU JUST READ IT FORWARDS

Holy shit the way it so doesn’t fucking matter

The person who does this professionally and didn’t think for a single second that a bunch of nerds would get on here to “uh actually” a single panel in a 40 page comic

Quick quiz: does it matter?

Anne 🔜 NYCC 💫 @annecomics.bsky.social · 3h

“The reflection’s wrong”

Who

Fucking

Cares

I will punt you into the SUN it’s not that important.

Did you understand what the letterer is going for? Yea? Good, then it means the job was done perfectly. Who gives a shit if it’s not reflected the “way you want” oh my GOD

Hi #PortfolioDay, I'm Alison, an artist and sometimes writer from London, UK, and I draw comics, book covers and editorial. Can't show you the sequentials I'm drawing right now but I'm open for covers (especially books), comic writing and to discuss the next thing.

DC covers we love, going for a deeper dig

Amethyst #8, I’ve always loved this. It’s George Perez and Ernie Colon

I miss the DC Fantasy of the 70s and 80s
