I wish there was a way to know! 🤣 Speaking of, I heard a rumor that we've been spelling his name wrong this whole time, and it's actually "Magnus Neato".

You are a violent and irrepressible miracle. The vacuum of cosmos and the stars burning in it are afraid of you. Given enough time you would wipe us all out and replace us with nothing -- just by accident.

Batman fans say that he’s not just a guy who beats up criminals, and in fact spends a lot of money on charity, infrastructure, community, etc. Well, think what he could achieve if he spent ALL his money on beating up criminals.

i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko.

Today is a good day to write comics instead of the "usual" time spent gazing into the infernal abyss, where space and time crash into the other on an endless loop, reaching out to Infinity herself.

I might be biased, but you should take them up on this deal! Genuinely great comics and supports a great cause. (And if you're looking for my backup, it's in the back of RB Vol. 4: "Two in One" ☺️🤘)

I promise that you are almost guaranteed to find lovely, welcoming and passionate folks at your local shop. If you happen to find a shop that is less than ideal, please seek out another one instead. Ask around. They are plenty and wonderful.

Andrew Leamon @andrewleamon.com · 27/09/2026

Truly. I had one shop that I had issues with from time to time, but the staff was always amazing to me. You really come to treasure the great experiences enough. But then I wonder how many folks new to comics were turned off by a bad shop and stopped reading comics.

Andrew Leamon @andrewleamon.com · 27/09/2026

This should be obvious, but... If you work at a comic shop and someone comes up to buy a comic, don't try to talk them out of buying it saying it's the worst issue that week. Yes, this happened to a friend of mine today, and it's not at all representative of the shops I know and love.

If you're looking for an amazing editor for your next comic, @frankpittarese.bsky.social is currently available for more work! I've been working on Camera Man #2 with him, and he's been nothing but fantastic. He's professional, easy to work with, has fast response times, and gives great notes!

Same! It's a regular conversation between my wife and me. If I didn't have to sleep, I could get more writing done, but alas... 😅 I wish I had solutions, but I can only offer solidarity. I hope you are able to find a healthy balance, friend.

Exactly! Self-publishing allows complete freedom in that way. This was an early convo I had with my collaborators on CM. We can make the first issue as long as we need it to be. Most shonen manga debuts are 35+ pages. That feels right to me. CM #1 was 48pgs. #2 will be 32pgs.

Andrew Leamon @andrewleamon.com · 21/09/2026

I completely agree! I understand the necessity of simplicity under tight deadlines, but when you have room to run I think you should go for it. I feel the same about 20pg chapters nowadays. Stories need as much space as they need.

I don't remember all of the sketches, but the Angel Summoner and BMX Bandit sketches only age like fine wine for me, so that's a huge loss.

I created these puzzles with the artist for me to solve so I have no one to blame but myself, but thankfully I don't have the restriction of time I otherwise would.

My current comics project has a higher panel count than the 4-5 average standard, which forces me to be more intentional around the grammar and meter of the page. Of course, I'm overwriting and trimming as I go, but I enjoy fitting character and plot into the shapes and sizes I'm given.
