The beauty of Free Comic Book Day is there was no need for competition because it was all about comics lovers coming together.

Kudos to anyone else who has done it themselves, I’m pushing through, but indexing your own book is horseshit.

Looks like none of my ALA Annual panels were accepted this time around.

I don’t have a single nice thing to say about PRH’s approach to this.
May 2nd, 2026 will see Free Comic Book Day and "Comics Giveaway Day": Universal will be running Free Comic Book Day on May 2nd, including a partnership with Lunar and Diamond UK; but PRH is going its own way with Comics Giveaway Day

At the protest, a motorcycle shot up near the curb, its rider almost falling off. We looked over only to realize the little man couldn’t control his crotch rocket because he was trying to Sieg Heil while accelerating. He managed to do it before rocketing off, almost into the back of a car.

So thirsty was I, for justice, it even drove me to explore the depths of the cesspool formerly known as Twitter.
I fear this may finally be my ruin.
