NYCC was pretty great (even though it took me two whole days to recover), especially Sunday when I got to hang out with this knucklehead all day. Comic-con just isn't the same without @fredvanlente.bsky.social.

Love these Death Matches... another great read! Since you were talking about Frank Miller's Spider-Man, I highly recommend Amazing Spider-Man annual #14. It features one of my favourite Spider-Man images ever, by Miller with Tom Palmer inks.

The Civics For All Comics Group are the UNDEFEATED COMIC BOOK CHAMPIONS of every NYCC they've been at. They run the best panels, they love making great comics and they give them all away for free! They're the absolute best.

Am I sorry to miss NYCC this year? Yes.

Does it make me feel slightly better that it's because I'll be at Wild West Hackin Fest in Deadwood SD signing an *exclusive* one-shot of THE FUTURE IS ****** featuring this DOPE PAUL POPE COVER w/our main character Wheeler?

Yes. Yes it does.
