I can’t believe it’s been 20 years since PLANET HULK - that means I’ve been reading @gregpak.net comics for 20 years, and I plan to continue as long as there are Greg Pak Comics to be read

Review for RETURN TO PLANET #1 coming soon

Dropped today! My cover for the new SMILE series from @idwpublishing.com

So excited to be a small part of this & to see the franchise take on new life from the amazing @hannahrosemay.bsky.social, Miriana Puglia, @dearbhlala.bsky.social & @heatherantos.bsky.social 🩸

Look for it FEBRUARY 2026

Cover for “SMILE: For the Camera” featuring a woman’s face on a black background. Her eyes are wide, mascara running down her cheeks. And in her hand, a pair of bloodied sewing scissors. Within their reflection, the unsettling SMILE.

princess of the underworld

fanart of Melinoe from Hades 2, wearing a modern outfit (dark jeans, orange top), she has a big tattoo on her right arm, and is about to tie her hair with a hair band (is this how it's called in english ?)
her eyes are closed, she has nice arm muscles and looks extremely lesbian
