Anne Talks Comics!

Making the ship one big map instead of separate levels?

UGHHH 😫

L O V E

You gotta just rip the band aid off, crank it to zealot, turn the lights off, and run through the fucker

It’s the only way 😌

(One of my favorite game series ever, I platinumed it in a week, I hope you have fun!!! 😁❤️)

April 2026 vs Actually Reading Comics Spotify video

Speaking of super on time, a new episode of What's Next dropped this morning! Come hang with the boys as we discuss the new #comics coming out in April of 2026! Would've recorded sooner but I was trapped in a web of conspiracy (trying to download the Jack Wolfe Hadestown Slime Tutorial)

If you sleep in, you miss the Sunday Funnies where Winsor McCay meets Bill Everett, YAY!

Red Sonja commission inked.

edited comic panel. Batman is breaking a lump-with-handle cow tool over his knee and saying "this is the tool of the cow. we do not understand it. we will not use it."

it's not FOR us

The actual cackle that escaped my lips when I first read this can not be understated

I don’t think the new Brand New Day comic is really about nostalgia at all, I think it is just about the movie and that feels obvious to me

It’s the Civil War 2 of it all, it’s just marvel making a sure a comic that matches a movie title is on the shelves this year

We got spots left for ORIGINAL ART commissions at ECCC and C2E2 still. Super cheap! Super good!

Comics Disassembled: Ten Things I Liked or Didn't Like from the Past Week in Comics, Led by the Comic Arts - SKTCHD It’s the week before ComicsPRO’s annual conference, and it feels like everyone is holding their announcements back in advance of that event. That doesn’t mean there isn’t anything to write about, thou...

I wrote about ten things I liked or didn't like from the week of comics, including Abrams ComicArts' big Fall 2026 slate, Ultimate Marvel lagging, nice looking title heads, IDW Crime, Jesse Lonergan connecting, a couple big reprints, and more.

Season two featuring my first public appearance in glasses ! Haha

It is no "From the DC Vault: Batman - A Death in the Family: Robin Lives!"

I Sold My Wife to the Devil and All I Got Was This Lousy Tee Shirt.

“The Time I Reincarnated as a Teenage 2000s Marvel Comic”

Waiting for Batman: The Long Halloween: H20 Resurrection

Look, I think BATMAN: THE LONG HALLOWEEN: THE LAST HALLOWEEN was solid

But then they did BATMAN: THE LONG HALLOWEEN: THE LAST HALLOWEEN KILLS and it lost some steam but then BATMAN: THE LONG HALLOWEEN: THE LAST HALLOWEEN ENDS is where the whole thing really just went off the deep end

“But Anne, we don’t want people to confuse this with—“

SINCE WHEN HAS MARVEL EVER CARED?

DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY “SILK #1” ‘s THERE ARE?

HOW MANY SECRET WARS?

Their whole BRAND is “If it ain’t broke just make it again and again and again and farm this market for all it’s worth”

REMEMBERING THEY’RE DOING THIS BECAUSE OF THE MOVIE MAKES THE TITLE FEEL EVEN DUMBER

Guys!

JUST “Spider-Man: Brand New Day”

That’s all you need, that’s the movie’s title! That makes it so easy!

Fuck, just “Brand New Day” with Spider-Man SMACK on the cover does the trick!

Silly me thinking that comics were being made…thinking about comics and not…not movies

Silly Anne

Personally I love Slott’s SM but I have NO idea what editorial is thinking or what the play here is beyond “We have a brand new day movie coming we need name recognition”

Which, now that I say it, is definitely it lol I don’t know why I was so confused for a second there

True true

Idk

I think we can make the title longer, guys 🤔

I don’t pick up marvel books that are any less than 7 word titles

It should be the “All-Old All-Different Friendly Neighborhood Spectacular Amazing-Man: Brand New Spider-Day!”

Or “The Time I Reincarnated as a Teenage 2000s Marvel Comic”
