If you're going to your local comic book store, why not pick up DC K.O. #1 by
@ssnyder1835.bsky.social, @javifernandez.bsky.social, and
@xermanico.bsky.social? A knockout of a debut issue. Review in the link:

Have you picked up The Punisher #1 yet? It's a blood-soaked banger of a first issue from @jimmypalmiotti.bsky.social and @urbanbarbarian.bsky.social. Read my review @thecomicon.bsky.social and go get a copy:

I feel your pain. I'm in Baltimore with my daughter and it's costing me a fortune already! Thank the gods it's only for a year. But, what a year she's going to have!

Hey! I've just put three item in Genre Creators for Trans Rights in the UK and SA auction which is going on this month. Spread the word on these, as they're all pretty rare, I think.

Firstly, this promotional invite to the second Hellfire Gala Marvel sent me. From Emma Frost Herself, apparently.

It's amazing that a comedian has stood up to the dictator-in-chief more than any other career politician. How can I apply for Ukrainian citizenship?

A great ending to an entertaining series. Bloody teenagers and their raging hormones... leads to all kinds of trouble. Check out my advance review of @darkhorse.com Mark Millar and @juananramirez.bsky.social. Out tomorrow!

Having spent the best part of this week thinking and doing nothing but comic con stuff, it's been amazing to see the outpour of support from the good people of Kings Heath. I'm feeling very upbeat. Trying to break the norm and hopefully creating something that people will enjoy. Fingers crossed.
