Hands down one of the great experiences of the GIGS World Tour has been our conversation with @savagecritic.bsky.social for @comixexperience.bsky.social's Graphic Novel Club. I hope no-one wants to string me up for my answer to 'why comics?' www.youtube.com/watch?v=dumy...

Really liked The Kissing Gate and now, after finally visiting the open Kickstarter tab that's been haunting my browser for days, proper looking forward to Candelstone.

Just a reminder that if you want to read writing about comics, including big pieces about the medium, its history (big oral history tomorrow!), the industry, and more, subscribe to my Eisner Award-winning comic site SKTCHD! It costs less than a comic a month on the annual plan and has a free trial!

The fallout from the collapse of this glacier - a torrent of mud surging down the valley - killed hundreds of people. Gone, in a flash. Those people were wiped out by anthropogenic climate change. Our governments are simply not responding quickly enough to this disaster which is already upon us.

"GIGS takes place in a time and space where most people’s livelihoods are reduced to being where they’re told by their phones." Maybe that seems too familiar but it's what Mark Mosedale and Si Smith explore in their new book from @topshelfcomix.bsky.social. www.fromcovertocover.com/gigs-by-mark...

Gigs by Mark Mosedale and Si Smith

At the heart of Gigs is a brewing rebellion, encouraged by Syd and fought by Ivy and others against the systems built to oppress and control.

Three weeks since GIGS launched and it's been very much all of this. A great mini-tour, some really great coverage, and then the Great Deflation. Now I'm starting to dig in for the promotional long tail and TRYING to get back to writing/pitching. Despite a ton of support, it's weirdly lonely.

Then I picked up Gigs, which has the praise of @aptshadow.bsky.social, @kierongillen.bsky.social and other heroes of the people. Basically it imagines a future where we all have to do whatever gigs society demands to survive. And it’s so damn good. @markmosedale.bsky.social and Si Smith, YES.
