#Comics folks, I need you to pull up to this one.

The world sucks right now, and we have the opportunity to do a little bit of good for a displaced and marginalized member of our community. Please join me in supporting this KS campaign!

www.kickstarter.com/projects/den...

If you're somebody who values supporting marginalized voices in comics, here's your chance to put your money where your values are!

The writer of this RINGO NOM’D INDIE COMIC (and a very dear friend of mine) is a Syrian Refugee who has been through more continuous hardships than I have space to list here; constantly navigating visa applications, unstable living conditions, predatory landlords (limited options as a refugee).

Anas just wants to make comics and live a normal life like what so many of us take for granted. Backing this campaign will help Anas to take the next step toward freedom and autonomy, helping to fund a move to another country with more stable employment options. This is truly one of the most important comics purchases you will ever make.

Middle Eastern and North African comics creators are some of the most underrepresented in the comics industry of the western world. Anas isn’t running a GoFundMe to support this move, and is not asking for charity. Simply, Anas is using their talent for storytelling, along with Dennis’ gorgeous art, to offer you a beautiful experience in the comics medium, that also goes toward funding a better life for Anas.

I’m so proud of Anas, and humbled by their experiences and perseverance. I would like to see Anas’ Dream realized, and I’d love to see this community help to make that happen. Please join me in pledging to the Etheres Kickstarter campaign! (link below).

The Herculoids 7-8 (art reminiscent of the cartoon; compelling storytelling for all ages)
The Rocketfellers 9 (the flashback continues)
JSA 12 (the resolution seemed too quick and I’m not happy a legendary hero is off the table [for now])

Superman:The Kryptonite Spectrum 2
Superman 29 (LGY 872)
The first book is so clever & fun I can’t recommend it enough.
I picked up the second book on a whim & followed the story just like I used to when being thrown into the middle of an adventure randomly off the spinner rack

These previews from @ignitionpress.bsky.social are a great marketing tool and they have definitely piqued my interest.

Sham Comics Vol. 2 No. 4 from #SourcePointPress
I really dig these updates of 70-80 year old comics. I hope there’s a large enough audience for this type of fun book so they can keep being made.
Sham Comics rock!

In honor of Mr. Redford and the present environment we find ourselves in, I think we should all collectively watch "All the President's Men".

Heck of a good flick, if you haven't seen it do yourself a favor and watch it.

And remember, always follow the money.
