Hey there! Now that Fixation's off into the world, I am looking for work for 2027-2028! I've got a few more tarot and oracle decks incoming, but I'm wide open for comics work right now. If any editors are looking for IP work for hire or original pitches, hit me up. www.amythunderjam.com/comics

The 1:10 ratio cover for Fixation #1 by Lisa Sterle. Depicts a neon television set with a bloody handprint covering a steamy scene from the hit supernatural romance series Blood Mountain. Entertainment console has chips, action figures, and additional dvd cases on it.

The cover of Abuzz by Stelladia. Largely blue background meant to evoke a prom dance, with the cast of four high school students standing beneath bouquets of bee-shaped balloons. They are all wearing domino masks, as Beatriz and Hero gossip, Ben tries to show Claudio his phone, and Claudio and Hero shyly reach for each other's fingertips.

Cover for Flash Gordon Quarterly #6, with art by Michael Sta. Maria. Depicts Flash Gordon in a space suit with a domed helmet, raising his blaster. Behind him, a shark man emerges from a sandstorm to attack.

The cover of the Wednesday Official Oracle Deck, art by Leilani Bustamante. It depicts Jenna Ortega as Wednesday against a black starry background, with black dahlia flowers around her. The box cover has purple foil accents.

I think of Superman not as a power fantasy, but as a fantasy of the powerful as really good people. I kind of feel that way about Dolly Parton, too.

I think it's kind of messed up that big comics publishers have continued to reprint the works of men who have been extremely harmful to women and that I will face more professional repercussions for expressing that than they ever will because once upon a time they wrote popular characters' stories

I don't fuck with WhatNot but I wish I was the guy that got banned here. I want to regain that feeling of joy, of triumph when Rob blocked me on twitter.

Still culling through my SDCC photos. Here are a few that I like, so far.

Amanda Lynne as Dark Phoenix. She is gesturing towards the viewer as if she is using her powers.

Captain Britt as Yelena Belova. She's leaning against a wall, somewhat relaxed with a baton in hand.

Dennis (dressed as Gambit) proposes to Kate (dressed as Rogue) in front of the Marvel cosplayer gathering.

Sierra as Rogue in her Savage Land attire, she's making her way through trees and vegetation, with a spear in hand.

I think my interest in collecting comic art has hit an all time low, and it feels weird. I’m guessing my desire to just be out in the world and traveling has taken hold of my decision making when it comes to this hobby.

The last bit of SDCC still standing that’s not an Avengers lamp post banner.

A photo of the Lanterns sign at the downtown trolley station across the San Diego convention center. The sign depicts John Stewart looking very incredulously at Hal Jordan.

Really, really loved that new Spider-Man movie. I question Peter Parker’s legitimacy as a New Yorker after seeing what pizza he’s been eating.

I’m not over this piece of art painted on to the door of this Boba Fett themed car.

This is the door of a Boba Fett themed car. Airbrushed on the side is an image of Boba Fett, as a child, holding the severed head of his father, Jango Fett. Pretty dark to put on the side of your car, TBH

They should just skip releasing any other trailers for Doomsday. And if it drives a particular type of content creator mad, it would be all the better for us.

Overheard a conversation in line at the comic store, debating who’d win in a race between Sonic the Hedgehog, the Flash, and A-Train from The Boys. The amount of mental gymnastics at play…

Well. SDCC/OnPeak found a way to make an awful hotel booking system even worse this year.

A bona fide win would be quite nice.

Good. I'm glad they changed their stance. It shouldn't have gotten to this point in the first place.

If SDCC is going to allow AI slop into their art show then this could very well be my final year attending.

Thank you to everyone who came out and helped spread the word. Thousands of Minnesotans gathered tonight for a vigil honoring Renee Good, who was murdered by ICE agents. Let’s get ICE out of MN!

Made an extremely quick script if you would like to call (or email, or fax, etc) your reps. Feel free to steal, in alt text. Find Your Senators: www.senate.gov/senators/sen... Find Your Representatives: www.house.gov/representati...

Hi, I’m one of your constituents. After the murder of a defenseless woman in Minnesota today by ICE agents, I am asking you to call for the government to abolish ICE.

ICE is a deadly rogue police force operating with impunity in the United States, attacking and killing citizens. They must go. Now. Thanks.

Mailed out the last of my holiday cards today, 150 people received a picture of Bucky as the Yule Cat this year.

Seeing Avengers: Infinity War at the premiere in Hollywood. Literally walked into the theater after speaking to Jim Starlin on the carpet. Then, I seemed to be the only one visibly happy at the end of the film (my guy won!) Then, seeing Jim outside, looking content after the movie.

Next year is the 10 year anniversary of me adapting compositing into my cosplay photography and I want to create some insane things that no one thinks of. And I REALLY hope I get to do that Dark Judges shot that I've been dying to do, finally...

Can’t stop thinking about this new Hot Toys Batman figure.

Happy Rorschach's Unhinged Manifesto Day to those who celebrate!

A comic panel showing blood soaked concrete and a bloodied smiley face button.

The text says: “Rorschach’s journal, October 12, 1985.

Dog carcass in alley this morning. Tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face.”

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.
