I adored the first issue of Beast of Borikén by @julioanta.bsky.social & @danielirizarri.bsky.social on @darkhorse.com & @readtinyonion.bsky.social . Esp the fact that they included Bomba drummers at the protest. Love seeing our culture on full display in comic book form! Can't wait for issue #2

Thank you to everyone who's supported the release of Beast of Boriken #1. @julioanta.bsky.social wrote a thrilling story. It's been cathartic to show the world a glimpse into living through Maria and present day PR as well. Thank you @readtinyonion.bsky.social and @darkhorse.com for the faith in us!

Make sure you grab BEAST OF BORIKÉN by @julioanta.bsky.social & @danielirizarri.bsky.social, the latest from @readtinyonion.bsky.social's TRUE WEIRD LINE. Both creators will be on our next episode.

Is Spider-Man bald? These are the hard-hitting questions we get into with @julioanta.bsky.social & @danielirizarri.bsky.social in our next episode (actually focused on their exceptional BEAST OF BORIKÉN).

Here are two books out this week that I really dug and you should be picking up. Read good stuff. Support indie comics. BEAST OF BORIKEN #1 from @julioanta.bsky.social, @danielirizarri.bsky.social & co, KILLER INFLUENCES #1 from @joeyesposito.bsky.social, Valeria Burzo & co.

So glad that my local comic store had a copy of BEAST OF BORIKEN #1. Amazing talent involved including @danielirizarri.bsky.social & @julioanta.bsky.social! Love this interpretation of the chupacabra, & my 🇵🇷 heart beats strong with the activist trying to stand against gentrification. A must buy!
