I didn’t want to talk about it until it was actually happening, but I’ve begun reviewing graphic novels for Booklist. My first reviews, of Soviet Land and I Am Their Silence (linked below) are out now in the February issue! (Spoiler: I really liked them both.)

WSJ just retracted its report that the shooter’s ammo was engraved with “transgender and anti-fascist ideology.” It smelled like bullshit from the beginning, and every conservative who ran with it should be shamed into obscurity.

This is disgraceful. We all know Trump and the American right's views on free speech and that's they want to decide who this right applies to. The race to legitimise this perversion by major American institutions is appalling appeasement that leads nowhere but the gutter.

this is soft, dude. this is really, really soft. a few years back, Frank Tieri threatened another critic and myself with violence, directly, at a comic-con over Batman opinions. That dude kept his job. He slid into my DMs with a fake apology. C. Kirk called for extermination. A joke didn't kill him.

Being informed that DC has cancelled Gretchen Felker-Martin's work to appease the whiners of the world. Should be a reminder for folks as to what Corporate IP comics actually are, because ppl forget and act like these enterprises are progressive to justify their consumption.

The night after the murder of Melissa Hortman, the Democratic legislator in Minnesota, the Yankees were at the Red Sox and neither team requested a moment of silence. For an actual public servant. Who we choose to hold a moment of silence for and who we do not are silences that speak volumes.

back in 1947, there was a book called All-Negro Comics #1. It was the first comic by and for black folks, and thanks to the efforts of @chrisrobinson.info & crew, it's coming back from Image Comics this fall. I wrote a little bit about it. I'm very stoked. essays.iamdavidbrothers.com/2025/09/dont...

The cover to All-Negro Comics. It says All-Negro Comics: America's First Black Comic Book.

The opening page to the strip "Ace Harlem" from All-Negro Comics #1. In it, two gangsters enter a BBQ shop and prepare to rob it.

There is something so fundamentally telling with people who think that “reading a book” and “knowing what the plot is” is the same experience.
