Coming to Kickstarter later in the year, sign up to be notified on launch at comixtribe.com/sink!

ProPublica spoke to dozens of people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. ➡️ This is what they wrote:

Handwritten notecard. Prompt at the top asks: What object was most devastating for you to lose, and how have you been coping? Answer below: Dentures. Were thrown away and coping isn't somthing I can do. It’s made me feel ugly, unworthy, can’t go get a job with no teeth. So how can get off the streets until another pair can be made?

🎯 Marvel gave @saladinahmed.bsky.social a clear mission with Bishop: deliver a “definitive take” on the #XMan. Ahmed reveals why Marvel wanted a true Bishop book, how Shard became its emotional core, and why stoicism made family the perfect way to crack him open:

Marvel asked Saladin Ahmed to deliver a ‘definitive take’ on Bishop

'Bishop' is written by Ahmed with art by Mario Santoro, and the five-issue limited series is currently heading toward its October finale.

I'm still buzzing that I started the week with news that I'm writing a Darkest Dungeon comic! For those who haven't played the games, they are fiendishly difficult endurance ordeals, set in a bleak world steeped in nightmare fuel, with a memorable ensemble of broken souls. What a world to explore!

We're entering the final days of Grawlgore & Shanks Book Two on Kickstarter, from me, @joemulv.bsky.social, @jpjordan.bsky.social & @robutoid.bsky.social. Here's a preview of the opening pages! www.kickstarter.com/projects/com...

Page 1 of Grawlgore & Shanks #3, featuring Queen Yarza examining a portrait of her dead father, the previous King, while members of a barbarian clan discuss the rumours of the king's ghost prowling the castle.

Page 2 of Grawlgore & Shanks #3. One of the barbarians laughs off the idea of ghosts, returning to their bed chambers, where they are ambushed by an apparition that looks like a ghostly version of the king.

Page 3 of Grawlgore & Shanks #3. Vaun Grawlgore and Arlog Shanks arrive at the snow-swept mountain city of Fellran on their wagon, looking at the ominous Soltor Castle in the distance, with a shattered orb on a neighbouring tower.

Page 4 of Grawlgore & Shanks #3. Grawlgore explains the orb was a gift of the wizard Kolglainne, and its shattering could be related to the outlawing of magic. Grawlgore and Shanks arrive in the city, where they are intercepted by guards representing the Elder Council, who seek an audience with Grawlgore.
