Heroescon Day Zero in the bag! I'll be at the show all weekend and it's my favorite one, say hi if you see me! P.S. the dogs name is Zeus and he's a sweet precious angel

I just want to make sure everyone knows I'm super cool and I hung out with ✨Ringo award winner✨ @wellsthomp.bsky.social

Karen Darboe has two stunnnnning covers on FOC tonight - I love haw different the vibes of these are!

Karen Darboe comic book cover for Blood and Thunder 7 featuring a redhead woman with hair covering half her face and displaying another image overlayed of two women looking at each other intimately

Karen Darboe comic book cover for Mr. Terrific 5 featuing a character made of blue, pink, and a splash of yellow dots erupting from the black background. They are saying "You're just a man Michael Holt... But Netherlight is a god!" with Mr. Terrifiv in the foreground, shrinking away from the light

Honestly it's so rude for Baltimore Comic Con to start 5 days after NYCC. I'm still recovering

We don't talk enough about how good Chris Condon and Montos are doing on #GreenArrow right now. Montos art compliments Chris's moody scripts. You can tell both men are having the time of their lives. #DCSky #ComicSky

This cover by Lucio Parillo over at @dynamitecomicshq.bsky.social makes me feel like a cartoon wolf with my eyes bulging out going AWOOGA (complimentary)

An oil painting by Lucio Parillo for the cover of Vampirella 5 by Christopher Priest, published by Dynamite Entertainment. Features her in 3/4 body with her arms crossed and what looks to be some kind of blue magic flowing from one hand and purple from the other, with some creepy eye in the background. It's rendered beautifully, super gorgeous art with a fun play on colors and lighting.

I love the Pumpkin Spice variants from @dc.com and this @chumahill.bsky.social Supergirl cover is so 🎃✨💛

Indie section for FOC time! Starting off with a HEAVY hitter, this is a book I'm passionate about and I already have preorders rolling in for! @jamesthefourth.bsky.social and @michaelwalsh.bsky.social with @jamesstokoe.bsky.social and @jennyfrison.bsky.social covers - ratios on next post!

Tessa Gray @tessaisanerd.bsky.social · 21/04/2025

Its FOC timeeee! Starting off with a bang - sick covers for Absolute Batman 7 from @ssnyder1835.bsky.social and @nickdragotta.bsky.social for the second half of the Freeze story! Main is Dragotta, then @brunoredondo.bsky.social @panelsyndicate.bsky.social and the @yanickpaquette.bsky.social is 1:50

I love that this book is just making Aquaman so metal. I'm not going to spoil anything but I keep being like HELL YEAH AQUAMAN

Tessa Gray @tessaisanerd.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

This is literally just crazy balls to wall badass action Batman but it still has a good story. I'm obsessed with his costume and I feel like an excited little kid whenever it does something new @ssnyder1835.bsky.social and @nickdragotta.bsky.social are pretty good at what they do I guess

Tessa Gray @tessaisanerd.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

You know I got the @tonyfleecs.bsky.social cover for the last issue. Definitely wasn't expecting this to have a sequel teased! I love the messed up monster designs, a fun twist on what I expected! I ordered extra of the trade from @cavan.bsky.social to carry in store!

I love Batman's universe through the lens of @chrissamnee.bsky.social's art. What a dream team, with him and @markwaid.bsky.social - I would read a hundred issues of this book from them and not grow tired of it.

I work 100% digital and for some time now I have been doing drawing and color at the same time. From the sketch (left) to the final page (right). I give color the same value and importance in the design of the page as the line. #absolutemartianmanhunter

This moody issues has the perfect cozy spooky aesthetic - I feel like it's wrapping me up in a blanket with a thunderstorm outside. @christophcondon.bsky.social has swiftly risen to become one of my favorite writers and the way his books sell at the shop certainly prove that I'm not alone in that

Tessa Gray @tessaisanerd.bsky.social · 03/04/2025

This is one of the best first issues I've ever read. Not for the feint of heart but the story from @tylerboss.bsky.social is gripping plus the art from @adrianoturtulici.bsky.social is beyond perfect, I'm obsessed with the paneling and color work. If you're down for a little horror, GRAB THIS

Tessa Gray @tessaisanerd.bsky.social · 03/04/2025

WOW I did not expect this. I'm so happy I read this Tuesday so I could turn a bunch of customers on it - I *really* suggest going in blind, so I'll just say that the art is GORGEOUS and I'm on the edge of my seat for the next issue. @al-ewing.bsky.social crushed this, and that's an understatement

Tessa Gray @tessaisanerd.bsky.social · 03/04/2025

One of the more brutal issues of this series. As an animal lover and someone who consumes a truly concerning amount of zombie content, this series is a treat. @tonyfleecs.bsky.social and @trishforstner.bsky.social are really a fantastic team, I love when they break my heart and gross me out 🥰

Tessa Gray @tessaisanerd.bsky.social · 03/04/2025

Two silent issues with a surprising amount of story packed into their pages. Quarrel is one of the most beautiful comics I've ever held, Molinas art is gorgeous and Mendoza is wildly good at conveying a plot without words

020

Tessa Gray @tessaisanerd.bsky.social · 03/04/2025

Absolute Flash - the art in this is incredible. The story is snappy and I adore the character (re)designs but most importantly, I love that they made Captain Cold hot. @jefflemire171.bsky.social @artofnickrobles.bsky.social (Adriano Lucas doesn't have Bluesky but the color work is swoon worthy)

Tessa Gray @tessaisanerd.bsky.social · 03/04/2025

Absolute Martian Manhunter - this book is trippy and fun in the best way. It has STYLE and wow, I was so tickled by that final page. I know, not surprising to get something amazing from @denizcamp.bsky.social and @javierrodriguez.bsky.social, two powerhouses.

Tessa Gray @tessaisanerd.bsky.social · 03/04/2025

The Mummy - the Universal Monsters line has been one of my favorite things to come out of comics in the last few years and I'm really excited to see where this one goes. Great set up issue that leaves me wanting more. Also my first book from @faitherinhicks.bsky.social and I def need to change that

040

Tessa Gray @tessaisanerd.bsky.social · 03/04/2025

I was a Fashion School Serial Killer - This is obviously going to be a fun series, the first issue had the right mix of college life and slashing 🔪 ...also, should someone check on @dougwagner13.bsky.social and make sure he's okay, with the amount of serial killer comics he's written...?

Tessa Gray @tessaisanerd.bsky.social · 03/04/2025

For a moment of vulnerability today, I'm traveling cross country for a friend's memorial. I've really struggled to read new comics since she passed a few months ago, that's how we were connected. So I'm going to read as many comics as I can on my way - will post here what I get through!

Tessa Gray @tessaisanerd.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

This is the first time we're going to be carrying @badideahello.bsky.social - It'll be a fun FCBD, that's for sure! Very interested in the changes they've been making 👀
