Hey Comics Creators, if you received an email from me about a "Buy Out" of your contract, that IS REAL. And likely a good thing for you. I'm happy to answer any questions, simply REPLY ALL to the email and your question will come back to me and the publisher. Happy to shed any additional light! Thx

this is something i think about a lot, aside from all the other issues
imagine if YOU do depend on, eg, claude, to run your biz. something happens tomorrow and your whole “team” is gone.
obviously this is the game, too.
the math is platform threat ^ bus factor

the anthropic drama (tl;dr they blocked third party tools from using claude code subscriptions) is a useful reminder that you use LLMs at the pleasure of the companies providing them
sounds obvious but despite all the AI discourse, i don't see a lot of people talking about the consequences of this

Hey gang, it's 2026 and I'm in need of work so this is your friendly reminder that if you are cooking up a comic of any sort to self-publish, crowdfund, or put out through Image (or the like) then you should consider hiring me to be your editor.
Publishers, hit me up if you wanna talk too!

I loved the first 20 years of MTV, but I think on balance, the last 20 did more damage than good, culturally. I think you can draw a reasonably straight line between the rise of reality TV and the ongoing trainwreck/clown show that is the modern media landscape.

Look, you can put Heroes over pretty much anything and it will be awesome, but I really dug the ending credits of Stranger Things. And I think overall, they stuck the landing… maybe a little “safe”, but definitely a good watch, and good capper to the series.
