I've already sold through more than half of my remaining STILT-ZINE inventory, so if you want a copy, you'll need to get on it soon! I imagine by Monday they'll all be gone (besides some I'm saving for a zine fair) and I don't plan on ordering more!

It's time!

STILT-ZINE — the world's greatest zine entirely about the Marvel villain known as Stilt-Man — is now up for order!

Want a copy? Order soon because inventory is limited! More folks picked one up at NYCC than I expected!

Reading DO ADMIT! and chatting with @davidharper.bsky.social about it was such a wonderful experience. I came in already loving Mimi Pond’s previous graphic novels and this amplified my admiration tenfold. So much story told with so much visual invention. @dandq.bsky.social

In Double Take, @oliversava.bsky.social and I go in a different direction than previous editions, as we talk about the recent @dandq.bsky.social release Do Admit! The Mitford Sisters and Me, a truly great and original new graphic novel from cartoonist Mimi Pond.

Bonus (past) SuperBatober just to wish everyone a PEACEFUL week! And maybe a cute one too. ❤️🦅

A past SUPERBATOBER (for the prompt EAGLE) where Batgirl and Supergirl are getting a visit from Season 1 Peacemaker and his pet/sidekick Eagly.

Peacemaker: Eagly is not CUTE. He's a DEADLY instrument of PEACE.
Batgirl: Nah, he's adorable.
Supergirl (giving a happy Eagly a loving pet beneath his beak): Who's a good deadly instrument...? ❤️

Related but unrelated: I tried ordering syrup for coffee today and the surcharge from tariffs was 150% of the actual cost of the syrup. 😭

Biggest impact I've seen yet.

STILT-ZINE is towering above its peers in the Stilt-Man zine world. Nothing can compare!

David Harper @davidharper.bsky.social · 3h

No worries! Not upset at all. You're right. Honestly, that's the toughest part of interviews is reading the conversation. Next time for sure!

I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I think I should have ordered more STILT-ZINES.

Oh noooo!!! I hope you're feeling better, at least!

NYCC was insane, but in the best of ways.

So, I wrote about it, exploring everything from it being so back and how the River Pavilion changes complicated that to Nick Dragotta's Artist Alley heat and the dreaded Butter Corner. This was a fun one, and it's best digested in chunks like NYCC itself.

Today on SKTCHD, I shared 20 observations and anecdotes from the glorious, and gloriously overwhelming, New York Comic Con. It's SO back, but it was a lot!

20 Observations and Anecdotes from This Year’s Glorious, and Gloriously Overwhelming, New York Comic Con - SKTCHD

New York Comic Con is over. It was a lot, both in the way it always is and several new ones — at least for me. But what stood out from this event? Did anything burst through the chaos enough to make a...

Totally get it, but timing considerations are always a factor with how free flow you can really go. Maybe next time I can dive deeper into the points you mentioned.

Glad you enjoyed it, though!

Absolutely. I was just making a joke about how long it takes to figure out how to watch things in this case, but I totally agree.

The real surprise of our crossover podcast panel at NYCC was seeing my Riddler self come to life thanks to @badrm.bsky.social. I did not see that coming!

I did the same yesterday and it was basically just me sitting and watching sports while cats slept on me. Very necessary! Glad you did that!

Spoilers for our chat: Do Admit! is one of the comics of the year, Mimi Pond is brilliant, and I loved talking about this wild book about six wild sisters with @oliversava.bsky.social.
