I got my comps for EC Comics Cruel Kingdom and they look great! Really nice production quality on these and Oni Press has been great to work with. I’ll have a few at my FallCon table and i’m giving a few to patrons. Give them a look at your comic shop.

I think I found my new favorite comic. Creepy wealthy family must make sacrifices to a demon below to preserve their power. Fresh horrors brim over each page. Bonus turtle action. The Day To Order is TODAY.

Kind words about Filthy Lambs from @aaronlosty.bsky.social! Go pre-order now! In the basement, the family patriarch says a prayer and stabs himself in the throat. Blood falls. The demon watches. A woman tries to scream. From @madcavestudios.com, @chrisevenhuis.com, @sjanweijers.bsky.social and I!

"This is action, this is horror, this is grindhouse, this is Pallie, Chris and Sjan, reaching into the depths of hell and dragging something gnarled and beautiful into the light of the fireplace. This is comics at its finest!"

That’s it, i’m done with all hot press paper. All of it. I’m out, i’m done.

Cold press paper on left shows good blending, lifting, color. Hot press paper on right, as usual, always, all manufacturers…paint just goes to die on the paper.

DC Comics Shadowpact era Nightshade small color sketch. I’m beginning to think $60 is a steal for these little sketches, judging by what my peers charge, but i’m desperate for money. Thanks Mr. capitalism.

Swamp Thing drawn with tons and tons of meticulous pen lines. If I was at Helioscope when I drew it I’d have used a brush, but that would have been a mistake at a convention table.

Watch out for the cutesy fake humility language Ellis has always used since the beginning of time. “I don’t know why these artists are working with a crusty old bum like me” or “why this x publisher still likes me I don’t know” etc. Ah shucks golly i’m just a regular guy.

#109Kirbys continues with Loki! Social media has become rootie-poo for fundraising (or maybe I suck?), so I'm going to shake things up for crunch time! As in days of yore, I'll offer a lower tier $100 level for smaller sketches. Bigger pledges will win out, but I gotta fill these last 6 spots.

Rereading Claremont’s X-men run for the first time since my teens. My second impressions: honestly a bit weak for a period after Byrne leaves; the brood stuff a little uninspired; Cyclops runs through a lot of girlfriends; Paul Smith better than I remember, a shorter run than I remember…

It’s funny, the advice for new aspiring comic book writers is always “find an artist” like you’re going to the frickin’ flower patch to pick one out. Always leaving out the part where the artist gets paid. Pay the artist. Pay them with money. Lubricate with money. And don’t stall or equivocate. Pay!

I’ve hand-drawn and self-published my comic for 15 years. It’s very lonely, no one reads, it’s not always fun, but golly somehow I persist. Warren ellis with all his apparent (still) behind-the-scenes support can maybe go and somehow buck up and self publish too.
