George is a stand-up dude who's been coming up to shoot the shit with me at cons since before most of you knew who I was. This comic looks fun as hell and I want to check it out. Let's get him the rest of the way there so I can read it, come on

I got some kind of "super-backer" commendation from kickstarter recently because I'd backed maybe 60 campaigns and that apparently put me in like the top 3% of backers or something, they said, but I just took a second look at George's KS and it says he's backed *720* projects. Come ON

Great book! If that piece seems like it could be from Piranesi it's because the art and the book title and the whole concept itself are all probably drawing from Giovanni Battista Piranesi, also homaged by @davidaja.com in Immortal Iron Fist

One of the "carceri d'invenzione" etchings (imaginary prisons) by Piranesi, depicting a labyrinthine, multi-tiered stone structure with ladders and ropes and latticework and machinery belching steam

A big panel from Immortal Iron Fist #4 by Matt Fraction, Ed Brubaker, and David Aja, colored by Matt Hollingsworth and lettered by the late Dave Lanphear, featuring the two Iron Fists Danny Rand and Orson Randall walking into the Five Points station, a very Piranesi underground train station of stone and wrought iron with steps and cranes and even the inscription PIRANESI above an arch

Yup! I bought one in a pot at the botanic garden gift shop (and subsequently failed to keep it alive) and one of the friends I was with was from the Philippines and told me that too, I'd forgotten it

In Puerto Rico these grow everywhere like weeds and we call them "moríviví," which is a portmanteau of "I died, I lived"

I have complete faith in Jeffrey Katzenberg's vision of the future of Hollywood, from Quibi to AI, but what do I know, I'm just a guy who got kicked in the head by a mule

I think it is very important that Big Balls, personally, goes to jail there are a lot of young goons who think they are invincible and it is important to make it clear that they are not

Women but also gay men and millennials and zoomers. "Iced coffee" is the coffee of the people Boomers and Gen X shitheads consider unserious, frivolous, wasteful, and incompetent.

Isekai is an entire genre that imports the tropes of games into manga but then says "Actually the most fun part of games isn't the gameplay, it's the forums where you talk at length about how the game is played, let's make a manga about that"
