Read this today, and I've never played D&D before but like, this made me want to play it, if that's at all an endorsement. Fun set-up with a lively cast of characters with a distinct voice in a little twist on the classic fantasy world.

In case it doesn’t get passed on— that [redacted just in case it isn’t announced I can’t remember] annual is like top tier stuff. Absolutely loved it.

If you’ve never tried an issue of PanelxPanel magazine, it’s the two time Eisner winning magazine that took a deep dive into the craft of comic book storytelling. We made seventy monthly issues that are 100ish pages of deep dive interviews and craft analysis for a dirt cheap price.

Hassan's work is so good!

His newsletter should be required for anyone creating or reading comics.

By learning about lettering from Hassan, I've become a better colorist, creator, and fan. Knowledge isn't just helpful in one specific instance, but often many.

Designing Fonts by Campe & Rausch has like a step by step tutorial on doing this, and it's really good if you want to do it "properly"!

Hello new folks, I'm Kody! I'm a cartoonist working on a queer, adult webcomic called KEEPING TIME. It's a bummer of a romance between two bandmates who fall in love in the mid 00s. If you like deeply flawed, not-at-all wholesome characters, then I might be cooking up something you like!

The Displaced is a great character-focused thriller about a town disappearing (by @edbrisson.bsky.social Luca Casalanguida @deezoid.bsky.social) but I was also pretty happy with this sequence of a baby wailing through a conversation

A new cover for the deluxe remastered (and long awaited) all in one version (and the only one with my cover) Very excited to see this- it's been fully relettered which makes a huge difference to the art. Due September 2024 Can be pre-ordered now from any book or comic shop from now.
