Everywhere I look lately a cis-Male comic creator is announcing a female-led project whilst my timelines are flooded with accounts of SA, both adult & minor, and I’ve never been more aware of living in a Patriarchal society.

A man walks down a road surrounded by metal fencing. A bare foot steps into panel behind him. Graffiti on the fence reads “ I don’t believe in nothing”

If you like me are a survivor of rape who is maybe losing her mind a bit this week, I recommend a few movies about surviving men/holding them accountable: “Sorry, Baby” “Is God Is” and “Supergirl” Supergirl was, in a way, about fraternity rape culture I discuss them here:

You should go see Supergirl

It's pop art that is unapologetically political.

It has come to my attention that Thought Bubble is less than 50 days away. My shop is currently on the wrong floor of the building and I have no idea where anything is. One year I will be ready for the best comics convention in the country coming to my town. Once again this is not that year.

A map of the table layout in the Redshirt Hall at Thought Bubble 2026. Table D1, which is at the bottom right hand corner of map, is surrounded by an orange oval, which is linked by an orange line to a larger orange oval above and slightly to the right which contains the words "Destination Venus Comics!"

SAGA is, in he opinion of everyone who works - and has EVER worked at Desties - the best comic currently in print. We want to read the next instalment. And you know what? We'll be here when it drops. Leonard is righ. If creators need time, then time they shall have. It'll be worth the wait.

A lot of my gn work is adaptations and let me tell you; if you try to do it this way you are going to get the worst slop imaginable. I've seen what other co's have produced with this kind of thing. They are a MESS with truly no value. This is a collaborative medium for a reason.

They don't mean Olde English, surely? Shakespeare wasn't even writing using Middle English - he's early modern. Do they just mean they're using Shakespeare's original dialogue? Or are they really going to translate it into a language that had been dead for at least 500 years by Billy's day?

Caitlin Yarsky- PROMETHEUS GRAFT #1 FOC 11/02!! @caitlinyarsky.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

For anyone unfamiliar, here are some basic terms to help you get started on your comic book addiction (correct me if I’m off with any of these gang):

1. Pull list- a list you make with your local comic book store of all the ongoing series and upcoming books, or even anything you want in the future made by a specific person (so you don’t have to keep calling for the same series etc.) and you pick it all up as it comes out.
2. FOC- “Final Order Cutoff” the last day to preorder a comic book with a shop or online- after that, you take the chance they’ll run out of extras when it comes out.
3. Trade- a collection of single issues into a bound paperback
4. Graphic novel- a bound paperback or hardcover comic made just for that format (no single issue chapters)

There are two reasons why we don't have a substack. The first is that, while Regie was able to write a popular blog that ran weekly for more than a decade while also being a teacher, he doesn't seem to be able to write anything to a schedule while running Desties. The other is this...
