Always recommend the @challengers.bsky.social podcast if you’re interested in the comics industry. The latest episode has me really excited for Marvel’s Midnight universe, with W. Dal Bush raving about X-Men & Spidey! Link: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

2026 has been insane for comic shops, as shops like @capecowlcomics.bsky.social, @challengers.bsky.social, @thirdeyecomics.bsky.social, and more are doing their best to keep up with demand and new customers. Today on SKTCHD, I wrote about the banner year so far in comic shops.

And on Sunday June 28th I'll be at @challengers.bsky.social from 12-2pm. Covering all Chicagoland bases.

BRANDON T. SNIDER SUPERGIRL SIGNING SUNDAY JUNE 28TH 12 NOON - 2PM AT CHALLENGERS COMICS 1845 WESTERN AVE CHICAGO Kara has an idea: summer’s coming, and she wants to visit Argo, a floating city in space where the last survivors of Krypton live. These are her people, and, since Clark grew up on Earth, she can teach him a thing or two for once. It’s the perfect plan! And it gets even better when Lois invites along Kara’s best friend Natasha.

But when their road trip through space is interrupted by an old friend of Clark’s, the family gets diverted to a strange and beautiful planet with a dark secret that only Superman can save them from. Kara’s plans get pushed aside. Again. What’s a cranky pre-teen to do?

Fear comes home. 🔪 #Scream7 is now available on DVD, 4K and digital. And maybe even snag a free DVD (while supplies last) if you come in and say "Dewey was the REAL killer in Scream 1!!" (NOT a plot point, just something we made up for fun)
