When I saw pictures of Liam Ramos with his Spidey backpack and bunny hat, I felt an overwhelming responsibility as someone who works in superhero comics. Please do check out the art in #Comics4Liam and visit comics4liam.com to support Liam and groups helping other immigrants like him. โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ‡

The Bone Temple isnโ€™t as provocative or groundbreaking as 28 Years Later, but is still very entertaining. Some unnecessary scenes of torture (making this an 18 instead of the previous 15), though. Nia DaCosta is fast becoming this centuryโ€™s Irvin Kershner!

Oh no, no you need to do better here than this boilerplate pr babble.

AI is a massive threat to the comic book creators and your original story was a slap in the face to that community.

You need to tell the real and whole story, now.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

As camouflaged federal agents watched from a building in Portland, a bizarre street scene unfolded below where protesters in animal costumes, including a self-proclaimed frog brigade, danced to Cher and were met by a small group of counter-protesters shouting support for ICE.

The reason the Right are so invested in the myth that the arts have no value isnโ€™t because the arts donโ€™t generate wealth (they do); itโ€™s that studying the arts teaches people to imagine better ways of judging the value of an idea than by counting how much money it makesโ€ฆ
