A Walking Shadow by @sispurrier.bsky.social and @aaroncampbellarts.com: 8 strangers wake up chained to a boat in the woods. No memory. No escape. No explanation.
Out next year, email us now at shop@okcomics.co.uk to add this series by some of our favourite Hellblazer creators to your pull list!

Oof. I love those "ohhh, they *get* it" type reviews.

One of my favourites, I think.

I think you'll find that this isn't true.

Somehow, I blinked and ten years flew by since @sispurrier.bsky.social and I got married. What a glorious, silly, fun day that was! And what an amazing decade we've had.

UK child-adjacent comics-knowers: any comics reccos for a kid (7) who's nuts about football but not a natural reader?

My own boy is now a voracious bookworm and it's thanks to comics -- I'm wondering if anyone's staked a claim to the footie/sequentials intersection in that under-10s category?

I love folk raving about @sispurrier.bsky.social work ( especially when it’s folk as equally talented and smart as Pornsak ) because he’s one of the nicest people in comics and honestly I just don’t think he gets the flowers he deserves often enough

( ditto what Pornsak said about TVSK )

It's interesting how differently I read digital vs. physical comix. I recommended @sispurrier.bsky.social & Vanessa Del Rey's THE VOICE SAID KILL 1 after reading a digital copy, but after reading a physical one, even though it's exactly the same, I think it's the best new crime comic of the year.

#MyConicBooks2025 393, The Voice Said Kill #2. Holy hell, this is even better than the first issue! The deep colours, the amazing dialogue, the multi facetted characters! @sispurrier.bsky.social and co. are kicking all kinds of ass here!

"It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

I think about Macbeth's Tomorrow-And-Tomorrow-And-Tomorrow speech a lot, lately. He was talking about life, but it makes a rather beautiful review of a decent 70% of everything you'll watch or read this year.

On the day that Pepsi and Coca Cola launch a limited-edition 50/50 mixture, people will queue around the block and speak gnomically of sophisticated flavors, brave artisanal choices and succour for struggling soda-vendors, while a thousand kids quietly pack away their unvisited lemonade stands.

Movie makers: ANIMAL WITH HUMAN-ISH FEATURES is 100% scarier than HUMAN WITH CREATURE-ISH FEATURES, and this is a hill I will die on.

Simon Spurrier on The Best Crime Comics, and Why We Need More Crossover Readers It’s a matter of some frustration, to those of us who love both, that prose novels and graphic novels are held to be so radically unalike. I’ve written extensively in both media, and can’t deny the…

Hey, a favorite author Simon Spurrier @sispurrier.bsky.social showed up on Crime Reads to talk about crime comics! It's a great read!
