NOTED DIGITAL COMICS HATER DAVID HARPER, of course, has the worst takes, but @geauxta.bsky.social is a rare *correct* choice! What a joy to work in the same industry with such a badass. (Also love to Manage Comics + Comic Shop Assistant)

Unlike Cyclops storylines!

Get rid of Cyclops

X-Men Don't Need Britches 💙💛 @rphutch1975.bsky.social · 15h

What's an opinion about X-Men that'll get you sent to jail? Is Jean really interesting or really boring? Should Logan have stayed dead? Do you think a certain x-mens outfit is positively horrendous even though people seem to love it?

It was so wonderful to see you!!!!

Goodbye, New York. I love you.

Seeing @kierongillen.bsky.social and @stephaniehans.bsky.social work on Bindings will never get old. I’m grateful they find it useful.

One of my favorite recent comics, DIE, is rolling back onto shelves. DIE: LOADED from @kierongillen.bsky.social & @stephaniehans.bsky.social is the intersection of Pet Sematary, The Sisters Of Mercy, and the most harrowing D&D game you ever played.

Tell your local comic shop you need it.

The sequel to the three-times Hugo-nominated, award winning dark fantasy comic, DIE.

A little (not so) light weekend reading with me, your most charming comics critic/writer. (JK, most other people are leagues more endearing than I am.)

Kenny Meyers @kennym.bsky.social · 5d

Talking to Chris was an absolute pleasure.

Chris Coplan @chriscoplan.bsky.social · 5d
