El Paso by Jazmine Ulloa: 9780593471869 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books From New York Times reporter Jazmine Ulloa, a sweeping human history of El Paso, revealing violence, power, and privilege at play in America's most famous border town. El Paso has been called the “El...

I’m biased, obviously, but I think this is such a vital read for 2026, one vital for understanding the history of America’s fraught relationship with migration across its southern border

I had the honor of watching the book evolve from a desire to tell the story of her hometown and establish its rightful place in American history -> research/interviews -> drafts -> to the end result

how it started (the wall of notecards was all for the book) vs how it’s going

happy pub day to my incredibly talented wife @jazmineulloa.bsky.social, with her BRILLIANT new book about her hometown of El Paso, Texas, which she was inspired to write after she covered the deadly 2019 mass shooting carried out there by a white supremacist who opened fire at a wal-mart, killing 23

just saying, post-dogma their stock was far higher than it is these days

i wonder if the plot is they're going back in time 23 years, to an era when it would have been fun to see them in a marvel comic

LOVED the fell story, dark and sad and surprising, shook me in the best way

Love to see Hello Darkness getting a spotlight! I love that it's managed to keep chugging along, and that I get to be a little part of it almost every issue since it began. It's such a wild and varied book, full of quirky unique horrors.

it's good policy, and really i'm not sure introducing myself when unnecessary has ever caused any added awkwardness...much more likely to happen when you don't do it

A really slow year (years, honestly) has left me feeling more than a bit invisible and lost in this business. So I'd like to take a moment to reintroduce myself, remind you I'm here, and show you what I do.

Hey there! I'm Vince and I draw comics. And doing that is all I want in the world.

i'm so bad about that, but have finally started managing to say early in show convos, "i uh think we maybe know each other from the internet"

I don't say this easily: possibly the Onion's best yet.

always be closing

to say nothing of that one game where your buddy would make a circle and try to get you to look at it and if you did, punch

A Startlingly Vivid Portrait of El Paso, and of America

An extraordinary review today.

It recognizes what fronterizos have long known: El Paso isn’t peripheral to the American story. It is the story — of migration, identity, memory, survival.

Deeply honored, grateful, and proud to see the border centered, not sidelined. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/01/b...

All the world is green.

Which might be a problem if you're usually a chalky grey.

This week I take a look at a comic with work by the incredible Tatjana Wood. (Admittedly the extant digital and print versions are probably retouched for production.)

Someone in Anchorage’s Fur Rondy Snow Sculpture competition did the giant, snowman eating, tentacle monster from Calvin & Hobbes and I just have to say: they straight up killed it.

the true mark of KS comic success is when your campaign gets so big that the algorithm moves the recs on the bottom of your updates out of comics, like 'fuck it, let's give them TTRPGs and fold-up mini-fridges, they've earned it'

dog ate something out of the trash he shouldn’t, email from landlord offered a lease renewal with a 10 percent rent hike…this week is off to a START

holy hell, that 12-panel grid page...fucking phenomenal

i get an analytics report via email (which I presumably can and should turn off) whenever someone looks at it, which isn't too often, thankfully

thanks to a digital comics platform's very in-depth analytics, i know that last week someone read my first one-shot from back in 2021 ... they live in nigeria and noped out at page 13

ha, i think so? hard to remember who drawls after a texas wedding...i remember i'd recently moved to sacramento, and he said "I lived there...it's the most boring place i've ever been, and it was exactly what i needed."

which proved true for me as well, so I was like, whoa this guy is profound
