"It’s a brisk, fun, inventive read which keeps finding clever new ways to wrong-foot the reader and pivot into something new right when you think you've got a handle on where it's going. And it's bolstered by heart and a strong emotional core."- @johnlees.bsky.social (Sink, Orla!, The Nasty)

I got a chance to read DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: THE FALLBACKS #1 and it was so much fun. Greg Pak, Wilton Santos, Edvan Alves, Raul Angulo, and Nate Piekos have really crafted a fun romp that would make a great D&D campaign. Out now from @darkhorse.com

I’m on a writing group with Kenny, and we know he’s an idea machine, so many killer stories in production and development. But the one everyone in the writing group was SUPER excited for was this. The concept immediately makes you grin, but the execution is so much better. A really special comic.

Now everyone knows the British didn’t drop Dracula on the Nazis like a bomb in WWII.

What this book presupposes is…maybe they did?

When The New Space Age #1 by @kennyporter.bsky.social and @mikejbecker.bsky.social comes out in December, it's going to knock you guys out. It has the wonder of space of the New Frontier, the magic of an early Vertigo book, and a heart that only these two could deliver. It RULES, you can't miss it.

One of my fave parts of working with @madcavestudios.com on Orla! has been feeling like I'm part of a moment, being on a roster with some incredible creators putting out stellar work. And @kennyporter.bsky.social is one of my fave people in comics. All I've seen of The New Space Age looks stunning.

I just realized that essentially the pitch for the Leonardo DiCaprio version of Romeo and Juliet is “what if ‘Romeo and Juliet’ had guns?”

one of the most incomprehensible to me things that a lot of people appear to believe about pop culture is that a bad movie can be made good if its supplementary material is good, or that it is somehow OK to make a movie that demands you to watch hours of other material to make sense
