New Pinned Post! Here are all the comics I worked on that are releasing in 2025. There's MR. MUFFINS (Oni Press), a sci-fi boy & his dog OGN; RENEGADE ROYALE (Dark Horse), a queer YA gamer girl OGN; and a new MONSTER HIGH (IDW) mini-series bringing the Halloween scares. Yay for comics!!!
1/4

Banner showing three comic book covers. MR. MUFFINS shows a boy and his dog playing while an outer space battle happens in the background. RENEGADE ROYALE shows four girls in sci-fi/fantasy outfits posed dramatically. MONSTER HIGH features the silhouette of a mysterious girl lurking outside a spooky cabin.

repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

The lesson I take from Fortnite and Magic The Gathering becoming nothing but IP driven nostalgia is that we all owe Ready Player One a big apology.

About to go to bed, but for those who missed it: my latest comic, Requiem #3, is officially launched on Kickstarter!

Christof Bogacs @christofbogacs.bsky.social · 1d

GAHHHHHHH Requiem 3 is offically live!!!

Created by @davidhazan.bsky.social @philthepage.bsky.social and myself, Requiem is sci-fi horror for fans of Dead Space, Event Horizon and The Expanse.

Check the campaign out, and if you can, sling us some coin. It would seriously mean the world to us.

Requiem #3 - Sodom and Gommorrah

For fans of Alien, Dead Space and The Expanse. A crew with no memories try to solve a grisly murder before the killer can strike again.

Mister Miracle is my favorite hero because he shows that no matter how awful things get, you could still end up with an absolute baddie.

In fairness given how furries have become a load-bearing backbone of IT and cybersecurity in particular... I'd rather take my chances with them than the racists.

When Victor Frankenstein was making the monster, do you think he found one cadaver to supply the dick & balls, or did he do some mix-and-match

KEEPING TIME returns, as promised!!

#KeepingTime is a bittersweet bummer of a gay band romance that just started its 4th chapter, which means there's already 106 pages for you to dive into. #webcomics

🎸 keepingtimecomic.com

Full page spread of a close-up of a bulletin board. A flyer that reads, "Chapter 4: My Father's Dreams" takes front and center of the spread. Around it, numerous flyers and business cards are pinned to it with colored thumbtacks.
