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.

DIE: Loaded

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

Just read The Power Fantasy trade from @kierongillen.bsky.social, @casparw.bsky.social (shout out @claytoncowles.bsky.social too) on my phone on Sweet Shop (sweetshop.app). You should go to your local comic store and pick it up the trades while waiting on Sweet Shop to drop. (findyourcomic.store)
