Hello #comics Bluesky!

I'm editing a new anthology for @limitbreakcomics.bsky.social, all about cryptids (and eco-horror, and the way humans ruined this planet, I guess?)

Details are here: limitbreakcomics.com/bump-in-the-...

If you need a #signalboost on a collaborator search, holler!

Comics writers, if you END a balloon with a ellipsis, and the idea continues into a 2nd balloon, it's standard practice amongst almost all mainstream publishers to BEGIN the 2nd balloon with an ellipsis. Same goes for double dashes. (I end up correcting a million of these.)
