That's a good one, although the new universe reboot certainly changes the dynamic

Sketchbooks for everyone! I’ve been reading a lot of Lynda Barry lately and her ethos feels like a wonderful antidote to a world of dehumanization drawnandquarterly.com/books/making...

The Avengers Doomsday approach apparently speed running Marvel Comics longheld fascination with "Back to Basics" got me thinking how historically this approach almost never resonates long term. Exceptions would be early 2000s Astonishing X-Men and Waid/Wieringo Fantastic Four.

Another good reason, most Iceman comics aren't very good, but every fourth is great

Comic Book Herald @comicbookherald.bsky.social · 21/12/2025

Reasons I like Caleb Williams as Iceman 1) Cold 2) Underrated 3) So much potential 4) There's a weird obsession on Insta with Caleb being closeted and Bendis will probably have Jean Grey out him sometime around the Super Bowl but good for him that's my QB1

All that said - it's been very interesting to see other comics pros dig into and explain *why* it looks like Deodato used AI on this project. Sharing those tells is useful, so others can get it right.

Comic Book Herald @comicbookherald.bsky.social · 19/12/2025

I don't really doubt for a second the coverage could/should have been better. Maybe it was done with completely open eyes. But we don't see challenging journalism often at the *highest* levels of import. And y'all expect it in comics? We're talking 'bout comics!

I don't know the writer personally, but I've been in a similar situation, where if not for a very experienced editor, I'd have run with some big 'ol lies because a creator told them to me, and I believed them (why would they lie so brazenly?). My editor chased it down and then didn't run it.

Comic Book Herald @comicbookherald.bsky.social · 19/12/2025

I see The Beat is getting hammered for running w/ Mike Deodato's denial that he used AI significantly in a recent comics project My main takeaway is empathy for an un/barely paid writer badly prepared to call B.S. on a professional artist. I've been there. You're not expecting the need to Woodward.

Man, this is a great list and really emphasizes what a great year this has been for comics, despite the many, MANY ways the world is finding ways to destroy us. And selfishly, YAY RED SHIRTS. But also, man, so of many of my friends are on here with richly deserved kudos.

I must admit I almost passed this up, for some reason I missed on the first pass that this is the guy who drew 20th Century Men … and, friends. this looks good. this looks so good. it’s got ambition. you probably want to mosey down to the store to get this yourself post haste.

Our Soot Stained Heart #1, cover by Stipan Morian. Our our heroine holding a sword in the snow. Nice!

Our Soot Stained Heart #1, by Joni Hägg and Stipan Morian. Opening spread of a packed city, rail station in the foreground. Profound stuff.

Rumors so scandalous even BC is scared lol All I know is 1) Bad vibes 2) I'm sure there's more to the injury/car crash story, but that man has definitely suffered a head injury 3) I think it's more likely Marvel/DC aren't launching him on comic books because he's *really* impacted by head trauma

It occurred to me for the first time since I interviewed him this year about his "Big Comeback" to see if Donny Cates ever announced anything this year... And there's no announcement but instead I got sucked into an absolute rumor mill tornado
