I’m the colorist of MALEVOLENT from @imagecomics.com but I’m also DRAWING issue 4, which will be out on May 13th! It’s a flashback issue so you actually can jump right into issue 4 and then go back and read the rest of the series if you haven’t so far. Arriving: May 13, 2026 Lunar Code: 0226IM0431
My friends @deathorcomics.bsky.social and @bivensjohn.bsky.social made a great book and the first issue is out today. Malevolent #1 from @imagecomics.com. If you like my work, Justin’s writing will be up your alley.
It's time for a #PanelDiscussion on our #NCBD picks! What are you pulling? #comics #comicbooks #newcomics #reading #marvel #moonstar #avengers @ashallen.bsky.social @edoardoaudino.bsky.social @deathorcomics.bsky.social @bivensjohn.bsky.social @imagecomics.com @invadercomics.bsky.social
