Hello new chums!
We’re Brandt&Stein, and we make comics. Marvel, DC, Image, BOOM!, Dynamite and plenty of others. We like character acting, violence, silliness, and never drawing the same way twice. Currently working on a bunch of things we absolutely cannot talk about

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Farts will always be gross and trigger my childhood repression and body issues, but honestly that makes a comic whose message is “love is the comfort of being your earnest, gross, complete self” honestly pretty touching. Also this double page! Holy shit it’s beautiful @brandtandstein.com #comicsky

All media mergers end up hurting writers, actors, directors, and everyone else who works in the industry. Executives, assistants, caterers, teamsters, everyone. Fewer companies means fewer jobs, period.

Welp, that’s a wrap on TNG. That means so far this year we have watched with @aplante.com 3 seasons of Strange New Worlds, 5 seasons of Lower Decks, and 7 seasons of TNG

If your year-end list features a humor category, please remember that the Harley Quinn Fartacular came out in early 2025. It features some of the best cartooning I've ever seen, by @brandtandstein.com

For any of you artists out there who are at a loss with the way things are going right now, just remember Mr. Rogers' words of wisdom.
I think, more than ever, these words from Mr. Rogers hold as true as the day he spoke them.

I'm sat here imagining how my clients would feel if I added 30% to each invoice, because I "really got into gambling".

This element of the situation is so maddening because it adds this air of unreality to the transphobes statements - and yet they are taken totally seriously by our press and much of our political class. Very obviously people were muddling making accommodations and no great social crisis was caused!
The WI has been trans inclusive since the 70s, before I was born. Do you see who in this scenario was innocently minding their own business, coming to their own arrangements locally? Do you see who is forcefully imposing themselves and their demands upon others, via threats.

It drives me nuts when people label my work as the "respectable" kind of queer art just because it's basically PG-13.
Bitch don't pull that nonsense, we stand up for porn in this house. Always defend the weird, ugly, uncomfortable, and cringe, because if we don't push boundaries we don't exist.

The fascists are counting on you finding erotica and porn too distasteful to support. Because they always start here. And even if they ended here, sexuality and erotism are integral components of queer expression. You can't support queer creators without supporting 'nsfw' content.

This is genuinely massive, like earth-shakingly big in terms of pushing back the anti-trans exclusion drive.
The anti-trans movement have lost a case they didn't expect to lose and really couldn't afford to.
I can't imagine them not appealing (near infinite money) but now the precedent exists.

Honestly it’s a toss-up between “comics? Do they still make them?” and “oh, I have an idea for a book too, do you want to hear it?”
What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!
