Playing Hades II on my Android tablet (S9 Plus Tab) using the Gamehub PC emulator feels so wrong yet so right. Brilliant for long train rides!

There are worse ways to spend 3 hours on a train. Not that I'm any good at this, mind you

Looks like Iโ€™ll be knocking about at Cork Comicon next weekend.
Iโ€™ll be flying in very early Saturday morning and away late Sunday night but will be good to catch up with folk & hopefully sell through plenty of books.
Look for me next to @bigbangcomics.bsky.social & pick up one of these beauties.

Folks.

It's Stiltin' Time.

I'll be selling another zine at NYCC this year, and it's my magnum opus, with glories the mind can barely comprehend. And my writing.

Trust me: It's worth it for Chip's infographic alone.

I was not ready for the new MORTAL THOR series to be Thor meets John Wick but I am loving this! @alewingpromotes.bsky.social, Pasqual Ferry, @matthollingsworth.com and Joe Sabino are doing great work here!

Looks like the Monkeyโ€™s out of the bag. Iโ€™m delighted to finally reveal that this December Iโ€™ll be taking a trip to the House of Ideas and teaming up with the incredibly talented @marsisanartist.bsky.social for an all-new Hit-Monkey story in Marvel: Black, White & Blood and Guts #3!

Folks, this headline is a question I ask myself all the time.

Catch me on @cbccpodcast.bsky.social this week, where I talk about my new era of full-time comics journalism/podcasting and a whole lot more. It was an absolute delight!

I just had the great pleasure of finishing the most complex piece I have ever colored, a new version of George Pรฉrezโ€™s legendary Crisis on Infinite Earths poster. Originally painted by Alex Ross, this new version was inked by Jerry Ordway and digitally colored by me. New Absolute Edition of Crisis!

Starscream in robot mode hovers over exploding buildings, with Thundercracker and Skywarp fly by in jet form.

Starscream in robot mode hovers over exploding buildings, with Thundercracker and Skywarp fly by in jet form.

On this date twenty years ago, I handed in my first paid professional comic work, the cover to Transformers Infiltration #1. Somehow, I failed to notice that a scene with exploding buildings and aircraft being sent to an American publisher might be seen as a tad "insensitive".

I've been repping hard for Absolute Green Lantern for a while now, and in this month's Double Take column with @oliversava.bsky.social, I dig into why and how the finale to its first arc made me feel vindicated for that belief. (It's great!)

Beside "All" and "Are" are stencils of stylized sperm whales, facing opposite directions.

When people ask, "Right before the Republic crumbled, who was doing the best 19th century literary pun stencils?" remember my name.

I'm in this (I'm the one in the middle of the preview picture, if you can't tell).

Great article about being older and renting. Still a lot of stigma in Ireland around that but honestly, for thousands and thousands of us, there's no other way.
