i am so beyond thrilled to launch my new webcomic: PRAYERS TO THE FUTURE! it's a muslim-themed post-apocalyptic adventure about coming together to breathe life into a struggling world. the first update is now live at prayerstothefuture.com - the comic is free to read + updates every monday. ENJOY 🧿

an illustration for the launch of my (iasmin omar ata) new webcomic PRAYERS TO THE FUTURE. the main character, irfan, poses with an obsidian sword. the rest of the comics cast (a mystery for now!) is depicted in various shapes behind her. the title of the comic is written outside of a circle behind irfan, with "by iasmin omar ata" written on the underside of the circle. within the circle, a post-apocalyptic desert is shown, with a tall obisidan obelisk at the center and a giant crystal floating atop it.

bless you, /r/animorphs, you absolutely did

Screencap of a Reddit post titled "I found an Animorphs reference in one of the Babysitters Club graphic novels"

A panel from BSC #7, Boy-Crazy Stacey, in which Stacey looks at a display of custom airbrushed shirts. One shirt says "Tobias ♥ Rachel".

Stacey eyes the shirts. Mary Anne crosses her arms over her head in a "NO" gesture.

Stacey: I could --
Mary Anne: No. Nope. Definitely not.

There are lots of librarians and educators who are just getting into comics. If they look at these awards and notice the team credits, it's an opportunity for them to understand a bit more about what we do -- information that they can pass on to their readers!

Celebrating the art of Josh Cassara with some of my favorite covers of his. I'm still feeling devastated by the news but also feeling blessed to have been able to see an incredible talent at work, particularly during the Krakoan era of X-Men comics.

Heartbroken about Joshua Cassara's passing. An incredible artist, responsible for so much iconic imagery, and an even more incredible person. Twice, Josh created original artwork for X-Men Monday that we auctioned off to raise money for the Hero Initiative. Rest in peace, Josh.

Damn. I got to chat with Josh Cassara a little bit at NYCC in 2024 - it was brief but he was so kind and we talked about the joys and stress about being an artist. I really loved following his work through the Krakoan years as it got cooler and cooler and he became the best X-Men artist they had.

Somehow, impossibly, the incredible Joshua Cassara has died. Truly one of our modern greats, but also an incredibly kind and gracious soul. My heart goes out to his family and friends.

This is Martha Cassara, Josh’s wife. I’m saddened to share the impossible news that Josh died on September 22nd of heart complications. You might know him for his celebrated work in comics, but he was also a good man, a wonderful father and husband, my best friend, and the love of my life. I’ll share more in the future, but for now that’s about all I can manage. If you knew Josh, you know that he approached the world with humor, sweetness, and kindness. He would not have wanted your condolences. He would have wanted your laughter and toasts. I would love it if you shared something below. Not your sadness, please, but any sort of happiness he brought you through his art, his friendship, or even a brief encounter.

May he feel all the love he gave us all. He was one of a kind ❤️

I was very lucky to meet Josh Cassara a couple of times. At NYCC ‘23, he was SO excited to see me cosplay his Quentin Quire design for X-Force. Spent like 15 minutes talking design details, and insisted on taking a picture so he could show his wife. Just an all around class act. RIP.
