Oof. I love those "ohhh, they *get* it" type reviews.

One of my favourites, I think.

Somehow, I blinked and ten years flew by since @sispurrier.bsky.social and I got married. What a glorious, silly, fun day that was! And what an amazing decade we've had.

(Obvs I'm aware of, eg, Roy of the Rovers, but - @robwilliams71.bsky.social will correct me if I'm wrong -- the Amazon listing doesn't specify -- I thiiiink that leans a smidge older?)

UK child-adjacent comics-knowers: any comics reccos for a kid (7) who's nuts about football but not a natural reader?

My own boy is now a voracious bookworm and it's thanks to comics -- I'm wondering if anyone's staked a claim to the footie/sequentials intersection in that under-10s category?

I love folk raving about @sispurrier.bsky.social work ( especially when it’s folk as equally talented and smart as Pornsak ) because he’s one of the nicest people in comics and honestly I just don’t think he gets the flowers he deserves often enough

( ditto what Pornsak said about TVSK )

Pornsak Pichetshote @pornsak.bsky.social · Sep 2

It's interesting how differently I read digital vs. physical comix. I recommended @sispurrier.bsky.social & Vanessa Del Rey's THE VOICE SAID KILL 1 after reading a digital copy, but after reading a physical one, even though it's exactly the same, I think it's the best new crime comic of the year.

#MyConicBooks2025 393, The Voice Said Kill #2. Holy hell, this is even better than the first issue! The deep colours, the amazing dialogue, the multi facetted characters! @sispurrier.bsky.social and co. are kicking all kinds of ass here!

"It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

I think about Macbeth's Tomorrow-And-Tomorrow-And-Tomorrow speech a lot, lately. He was talking about life, but it makes a rather beautiful review of a decent 70% of everything you'll watch or read this year.

On the day that Pepsi and Coca Cola launch a limited-edition 50/50 mixture, people will queue around the block and speak gnomically of sophisticated flavors, brave artisanal choices and succour for struggling soda-vendors, while a thousand kids quietly pack away their unvisited lemonade stands.

One more for today. We are kicking ourselves that @sispurrier.bsky.social is using Bindings. Long may he reign.

THE VOICE SAID KILL drops tomorrow, online and in store.

This "tour de force of mad comics talent" is a "gripping pyschedelic rural noir" by @vanesadelrey.bsky.social and me, about a pregnant park ranger having a deadly day in the bayou.
