Not quite growing up for me, but it was the Avengers book I picked up when I was old enough to start reading comics directly in English. So it holds a special place for me.

A screenshot of a news article titled "Marvel Comics Artist Jacopo Camagni Died This Morning At The Age Of 48". The article includes a portrait of Jacopo Camagni, an Italian comic book artist known for his work on Marvel titles such as Vision and Scarlet Witch and Generation X-23. The text reports that he passed away following complications during heart surgery. The portrait shows Camagni with a short beard, a buzzed haircut, and a visible gauge earring in his left ear.

Oh my god, no. :(

What a loss. My whole heart goes out to everyone who knew him.

That issue is so horny. It's great.

Still have a soft spot for this run up until Harras and then Epting leave. It's a terrible Sersi plot but she's so good she even shines through it.

Also Deathcry appreciation post.

Remember when they were like "we will cover up Sylvanas' sinful midriff with a plate" while this entire thing was happening behind the scenes?

I understand your pain.

Malibu published a lot of this kind of thing back in the day. Same era that gave us "western" manga like Golddigger and Ninja High School as well.

Like Terrax who just went "I don't know how I'm alive again lol"

Imperial just rushing through the entire arc without bothering to even explain how we got there lost me at the start. There's so much weird continuity and characterization in it that feels unearned.

Ewing's GOTG deserved at least five years. But the damage was already done.

Disney's Warner Brothers DC Comics character Voodoo.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Yes

That still doesn't make it RIGHT.

I know it's legally accurate but seeing any Wildstorm character described as "DC Comics' X" makes me instinctively recoil.

(I respect the effort people put into these videos! No disrespect meant to them)

His figures are so beautifully exaggerated and stylized. Contorted and dynamic, always in motion. Even a panel of Bruce Wayne answering the phone looks like the most dramatic thing in the world. In a way it reminds of some of the best manga artists, who excel at making even the mundane amazing.

There has never been an artist like him, and there will never be another.

The Golden Age Black Cat. I might make a print of this if I can find the time to ink & colour it.

I honestly can't even remember where I saved it from.

I just made a very visceral noise.

If you want to get a picture of how long I've been hoarded stuff from the internet...

This should give you an impression. This was pretty accurate when I saved it, feel free to contrast and compare to 2026 internet.

"Grandpa, what's a torrent?"

I knew keeping a curated meme folder for the last 20 years would come in handy.

It's definitely a policy problem which I assume means it's because of management. I feel like creators are not given the chance to breathe at all with Marvel titles, with a few exceptions.

There has to be creators out there with a great X-Men run in them but it's been almost two decades now...

Nemesis is literally too subtle for current year.

Written by Mark Millar, insisting he's "being ironic".

He's not.

Nah, I only have a master's.

There's always a sequel!
