i really loved this book when it first came out years ago, excited to get a new edition of it ... i do believe it was also the first book to ever pull-quote me way back when, so that's very cool too

I don't know what I thought Terminal Punks was going to be about but @matthewerman.bsky.social wrote a wonderfully unhinged story about the power of friendship. There's a lot to enjoy with @shelbycriswell.bsky.social art, dynamic motion, brutal action and just a ton of style to make it all meld.

Terminal Punks TPB. Four main characters are split on a four person grid, have their faces covered in pink paint almost skin to ski masks

Was suuuuper excited for @sambeckdraws.bsky.social . I knew I'd need a copy of the third book of "The Verse" (and signed book plates for volume 1 and 2!), and there was no way I could resist "Loving, Ohio". (Look at that cover!) I wasn't, however, expecting to fall in love with these prints! 😍 11/

A copy of the book "Loving, Ohio" by Matthew Erman and Sam Beck. The cover is a beautiful and spooky image of two people, one tangible and the other smoke like and surreal.

The last time I wrote something was over two years ago when I wrapped writing the first draft of Heebie Jeebies, the night my son was born. I've struggled to find work since then & to find a home for my stories but this month I start on a new original comic for Oni Press & I'm beyond excited.

In 2024, I went back into the workforce and became a barista after five years attempting to be a full-time writer. I love my new job and looking back I wish I’d found it sooner. And honestly maybe some of the writing in my comics would be less insufferable.
