On the rare occasions I do fan art it’s either of things that are old and irrelevant or new but nobody cares and it gets cancelled (I’m looking at you everyone who ignored Terminator Zero 😡). So I hope this doesn’t continue the Benji fanart curse of nobody giving a crap! Lanterns is the best btw 💚
Revisiting my home town via Google Street View and can confirm it is still the perfect place to set a suburban horror movie.
Gonna try and use this place again. Which means I’ll be deleting it in 1-3 weeks 🤷🏼♂️
Astonishing Spider-Man 17, available now on the Marvel Unlimited app!
How I celebrated Colleen Wings 50th Anniversary vs how Marvel celebrated it.
16 years ago I saw The Prodigy for the first time. In 2023 I released my graphic novel ‘DEADSHEET’, my love letter to The Matrix, Stephen King, 90’s rave culture and The Prodigy. In 2024 it won a National Award. Last night I got to give The Prodigy their own personal copies. What the hell is life!?
This was so damn good! And the whole time reading it I’m like “Man this reminds me of Sword of the Atom I need to re-read Sword of the Atom” and then I read the afterword and of course @jason-aaron.bsky.social mentions Sword of the Atom.
Moving house and making comics don’t mix but I got one page done in the last week.
Jurassic Park: Rebirth: Anacondas: Hunt For The Blood Orchid

An afternoon of turning off the dark with @brianmbendis.bsky.social @billwalko.bsky.social @scottaukerman.bsky.social & Salva Espin
As a U2 and Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark aficionado, am very much looking forward to digging into @brianmbendis.bsky.social’s new graphic novel detailing his involvement with it! On sale now
I just stood for 2 minutes watching a sparrow battling a huge moth on the ground and it was epic. I was imagining being an ant and watching it like a kaiju fight. The sparrow won. Anyway. Everyone should read Dawnrunners by @therightram.bsky.social for equally epic battles.
Look tomorrow is gonna be a drag and it’s so easy to feel discouraged but you only have to hang in there a little bit longer good things are coming
Things I will happily never to listen to again: 1. Old men say ‘Hook’ sucks 2. Old men say ‘The Goonies’ sucks 3. Old men correcting anyone who says ‘A New Hope’ with ‘Star Wars’ 4. Old men complaining about ‘The Phantom Menace’ 5. Old men.
Is this the early favorite for ‘best comic book panel of the year’?
Can already tell this book is gonna be in my Top 10 of the year. Terrifying. I hope the wait for issue 2 isn’t too long! @ssnyder1835.bsky.social @jockbsky.bsky.social
Finally caught up on ‘Dawnrunner’by @therightram.bsky.social and Evan Cagle. What a stunning book. Can feel the Evangelion influence but this book is absolutely its own amazing thing.
I slept on Bring Down The House because when I see Zatanna I think “Oh she says stuff backwards except when it’s inconvenient for the plot” 😆 So the idiot I am missed out on the most beautiful @javierrodriguez.bsky.social art I’ve ever seen. But thanks to some hunting I fixed that mistake.
One last page before I’m back to work tomorrow. Inspired by @jorgefornes.bsky.social because steal from the best, right?
