#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).

My new book, THE FLESH KING is out today and available everywhere your get your books. But I’d feel like an ass if I didn’t mention new books by two of my favorite writers: THE ESSENTIAL HORROR OF JOE R. LANSDALE and SHADOW TICKET by Thomas Pynchon. Why not go nuts and get all three?

If you count a chapbook I released early in my career (which I do), and a novel I wrote pseudonymously (a football novel of all things) today marks the publication of my thirteenth novel in English. It’s called The Night That Finds Us All and is available wherever scary books are sold

There is a house
There is a garden
There is a secret
You mustn’t know

There are sisters
Who tend the garden
And what is reaped
Must first be sown

20 nuclear reactors' worth...
But I'm sure all those shitty fake Man of Steel 2 trailers are worth cooking the planet for.

FT Edit @ftedit.ft.com · 1d

OpenAI is spending at a scale that even Silicon Valley can't quite believe, buying up 20 nuclear reactors' worth of computing power this year. But there are big questions around whether it can turn that power into profit.

I think what I like most about the Hector cover is that it spoils an almost 30-year-old Alan Moore comic while lovingly recreating its trade dress

Can someone please show this to Alan Moore and ask him if he thinks it's funny

Youngblood Team-Up covers! Everybody's doin em!

imagecomics.com/press-releas...

Hector Plasm: Hunt the Bigfoot #2, Youngblood team-up variant cover. Art by Derek Hunter. Hector uses his ectoplasm to summon the ghost of Riptide, who attacks Sentinel, proclaiming, "It was Sentinel! Sentinel is the one who killed me!" The book's trade dress is designed to look like the Judgment Day miniseries in which it was revealed that Sentinel killed Riptide.

Blood & Thunder #7, Youngblood team-up variant cover. Art by EJ Su. Blood and Thunder pose with Shaft, who pulls back on his bow. They stand in front of a star-spangled field.

Capes #1, Youngblood team-up variant cover. Art by Mark Englert. Superball, Claire Voyant, Battery Bill, and Night Knight from Capes, as well as Shaft, Badrock, Diehard, and Vogue from Youngblood, dive toward the viewer from the sky in an action pose.
