A subway train with its doors closing on a bloody arm extending onto the platform, lit in red and blue tones with other body parts in the compartment

For DoomRocket, @arpadokay.bsky.social returns to talk up Linus Liu's CAT MASK BOY, a YA OGN from Nakama Press that features plenty of nods to KAMEN RIDER -- and, surprisingly, shades of LA HAINE. Latest REQUIRED READING ready for your eyes: doomrocket.substack.com/p/a-top-shel...

A top-shelf blend of influences makes magic in Cat Mask Boy

Linus Liu's graphic novel shows how kids get along in an imperfect world.

Did you get SPECTRUM yet?!

Dave Chisholm @davechisholmcomics.com · Jun 5

A page from the first and third chapters of SPECTRUM.

Echoes abound.

The collected edition drops in July, courtesy of @madcavestudios.com.

Words by @riqkquinn.bsky.social
Pictures by me.

🛸 🦋 🎺 🤖

A page from the first chapter of SPECTRUM. An birds-eye view of a riot. There are a few circular panels with unusual things in them. People wearing pig masks, a robot, an alien in a flying saucer, and a tall figure in red.

A page from the third chapter of SPECTRUM. A birds-eye view of Mardi Gras. There are circular panels again containing unusual things: a man with a knife, a red figure in an oversized devil mask, two young women materializing, and a beauty queen.
The circular panels are a mirror image of the other image in this post.

One of my favorite things I've read this year is CRUSH DEPTH from @madcavestudios.com

You're probably familiar with the setup, it's been done a lot, but rarely have I seen it done this well. It knocked me back. The depth of character was striking immediately. These people aren't cannon fodder. 🧵

Trade paperback cover for CRUSH DEPTH from Mad Cave.
