“Such a compelling kick-off… The first issue [builds] to an incredible rug-pull… The Forever Home #1 is so striking because this combination of post-apocalyptic bomb shelter and nuclear family home feels so lived-in.”—PUBLISHERS WEEKLY @publisherswkly.bsky.social #1 reprint & #2 on sale Oct 21st

I’m proud of so much of my work but getting to do a pseudo sequel to the book that made me want to be a comic book artist is possibly the thing I’m most proud of

There's so many cool people doing cool stuff in the world of comics coverage, but we miss stuff, too. So, if you're proud of something particular - let us know & we'll share it.

🍭 @sweetshop.app is officially open for business! @kennym.bsky.social talks to @chriscoplan.bsky.social about taking the digital comics store out of beta, its 10,000+ titles, staying firmly anti-AI, life without Marvel and DC, and what comes next. Plus, there’s another project on the way... 👀

One of our favorite recent Batman comics, BATMAN: CITY OF MADNESS by @cjward.bsky.social, is out now in paperback. As much as we love hardcovers, it feels like this one was made for beautiful big, floppy paperback reading.

ICYMI - Forever Home #1 sold out The reprint is on shelves the same day as #2 thanks to the good folks at @oni-press.bsky.social ( Also hearing our #2 numbers have dropped less than the typical attrition.)

Maddie used to work in my local coffee shop when I lived in London. I don't know Dan Boultwood but fuck him. And well done to Maddie for the bravery of taking it to court and having him face the consequences of his dickhead behaviour.So sick of having dick head men who prey on young women in comics.

Monday is the final order cutoff for Archie in Hell #1. By me, @patrickhorvath.bsky.social and @francescosegala.bsky.social. I think this is going to be a really fun book. If you visit your local comic shop this weekend, ask the proprietor you get your copy ordered!

The cover for Archie in Hell #1 featuring Archie Andrews tied to a steak and engulfed with flames, while charred, demonic hands reach out to grab him.

HEY! I won't have any in-print copies of this for a while, and international postage is horrible. So if you've missed out, it'd be my singular honour to provide you with a digital copy of ARTOBOT 2. Only €14! And Vol 1 is also still available on my Ko-Fi! Get you yours! (PLEASE)

The Patron #2 by @cjward.bsky.social John Pearson & Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou. I enjoyed the second issue of this dark series about the art world. The conversation about how art connects people was really interesting. #Patron #IgnitionPress #Comics #Comicsky
