I fully recognize this a me issue, but I don't like making a pull list at comic stores. Part of the fun for me is the ritualistic nature of going to the shelves and selecting the comics myself each week.

Kind of wondering if Kirkman is going to attempt his version of IDW's phase 3 crossover shenanigans based on this week's issue of Skybound Transformers.

Yeah as much as I like bluesky, I feel like any moment this woman is going to sweep the leg and sell it off to someone/something for a big payout

I think a lot of it comes from an interview where he described the role and movie very dismissively

Catching up on comics and Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees is such a good villain protagonist story

I just started using Firefox on my phone for this reason.

This was a good first issue, really curious to see where the story goes.

eggnog + Ovaltine isn't something I'd have thought to combine, but what a decadent treat

This has got to be related to Disney trying to keep the ol' Eye of Sauron off them as much as possible

Disney's Marvel has canceled plans for an Avengers: No More Bullying animated special, saying it "Doesn't align with our brand's current message"

Knights of Guinevere was a fun pilot with some really interesting hooks and great animation/voice acting.

Shame the loudest voice of the fandom on day one is the "only my headcannon matters and the creator is bad if they don't bend to it" crowd

Linkin Park's Emptiness Machine / Cut the Bridge / Heavy is the Crown off the new album have become my new go-to songs to blast when I need a high energy pick-me-up at work

Really enjoyed the first issue and thank you for the double page editor's notes at the end!

If you like Batman Dark Patterns, you should pick up the 1st issue of IDW's Twilight Zone by the same writer (Dan Watters).

Really does read like a lost episode of the classic show.

Today! Head on down to your local comic book store and grab it!

Zander Cannon | ✨SLEEP ✨ from Image Comics @zandercannon.bsky.social · 15d

✨Tomorrow!!✨ Sleep #5 is on the stands! With a variant cover by legendary artist @brihurtt.bsky.social (Sixth Gun, The Damned) and a regular cover by me (completing a small puzzle started on the 1st issue)! Last issue Tabby and Jon decided to put some distance between him and the town--did it work??

A smiling middle aged cartoonist (me, Zander Cannon) smiles as he holds up two versions of issue 5 of his comic book SLEEP.

The A-cover for Image Comics' SLEEP, depicting a grayscale senior photo of a girl, with images of broken glass, wrecked books, and a trophy of some kind strewn about. The artist, Zander Cannon, peeks from behind the comic to make sure the photo looks right on his phone.

The B-cover of Image Comics' SLEEP #5, drawn by legendary comic artist Brian Hurtt, depicting the protagonist screaming in agony and clenching his hand while a demonic hand makes the same gesture in the background. Blood seeps from his eyes, nose, and mouth. It's awesome. The interior artist, Zander Cannon, peeks from behind the comic book.

"Nintendo is going along with fascism!"

"Actually, a former lawyer for TPCI said he wouldn't sue the US Government under these circumstances if he was in charge. No one at Nintendo has said anything."

"But this is what I would *expect* from Nintendo, which means I'm justified in spreading misinfo"

ANYWAY, I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT WHEΝ I SAW THAT NEWS.

THAT'S BECAUSE THE ARTICLE YOU READ WAS FALSE, AND HERE IS THE EVIDENCE THAT IT'S FALSE.

WELL, EVEN SO THE FACT THAT I COULD BELIEVE IT TELLS YOU SOMETHING ABOUT THE CURRENT STATE OF AFFAIRS.

AAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAA

I wonder if they're trying to get in front of a potential requirement to do age-ID gatekeeping by being able to say any smut is 100% above board (which probably won't be enough if things keep going the way they are)

That or they're courting investors
