The First Truly Free Planet: A Q&A FREE PLANET writer Aubrey Sitterson talks to FOREVER WARS about what comes after the revolution–allegorically speaking

Free Planet's a big swing; an effort to create something rich & complex with literary aspirations.

That's why it's so very gratifying to receive such generous praise from Pulitzer Prize-winning author @attackerman.bsky.social.

Issue thirty-one of GREEN ARROW will be my final issue on the title. It's been fantastic to work with Montos, Buddy, Hass, Adriano, and Chris Rosa on the book. More than that, it's been a dream to work on a character like Ollie for DC Comics. I'm bummed we have to end things here...

I am incredibly excited to announce NEWS FROM THE FALLOUT, a new @imagecomics.com miniseries by Jeffrey Alan Love, Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, @tivey.bsky.social, and myself. This book is unlike anything you're likely to see on shelves.

In SPEAK UP, SANTIAGO! by @julioanta.bsky.social w/art by Gabi Mendez, Santi's lack of confidence about his ability to speak Spanish impacts relationships w/his abuela & his new friends. Story of identity, culture & community will resonate w/multilingual readers in similar situations. #mglit πŸ“šπŸ‘πŸ»(1/2)

Hey folks, I'm obviously not terribly active on social media, so I haven't seen this with my own two eyes. However, some friends have sent me some posts by Rob Liefield that seem to imply that he was the originator of the Ultimate Wolverine design. While I appreciate Rob Liefield's contributions...

I got a preview look at The Enfield Gang Massacre issue one by @christophcondon.bsky.social and @thatjacobphillips.bsky.social and it’s one wild, outrageous western tale! And Jacob makes it look so stylishly cool. I had a heck of a good time and you will too!
