Comic buds, how's the comic scene on here? I've fallen behind on the times, help me catch up. Is this where everyone hangs out now?
Glad I finally read The World is a Funny Page I & II by @nicorodriguez.bsky.social Super dynamic and has a lot of fun visuals, the COLORS really shine! Definitely some of Nico's best stuff yet! There's a flashback in Part II, just a small moment but resonates deeply for me 🥲

The wheel of emotions after watching the Rockets in the playoffs this year. The same can be said about watching the NBA draft lottery. Oof.

Back ORSON now!
Milton Lawson @citizenmilton.com · last yr.What if Orson Welles was more than a filmmaker? What if his movies were influenced by *real-life alien battles*? In "Orson Welles: Warrior of the Worlds", the legendary director protects humanity from a terrifying extraterrestrial menace. 🔥 Back it NOW on Kickstarter! 🔗 orsonwellescomic.com
ORSON WELLES is live!
Milton Lawson @citizenmilton.com · last yr.📡 The TRUTH about Orson Welles is finally revealed. 1938: His "War of the Worlds" broadcast caused panic. They said it was just a radio drama.

A comic series called SPEAR set in the world of Genndy's PRIMAL... I had a blast with this page. What do you guys think? Fun idea? I know that I'd read the heck out of it! Finished page-->thumbnail
Only you can write and draw that comic you’ve been dreaming about making. So do it and be proud of the book you make.
The World Is a Funny Page is the comic series that I've been working on for the last year. After MONTHS of mulling over it, I have landed on the best descriptive analogy for the book. It’s artsy Indiana Jones. Pulp adventure, art crimes, surrealism, detective-craft, and more. Comics are the best.
Robot Tod by @farel.bsky.social is a beautiful comic and needs to be on your pull list. Run to your LCS and snag it ASAP I had so much fun with the book. Here's a doodle of ol' Toddy boy. I talk more about the comic in this week's newsletter. Link in comments!
I've often said that if I could contribute to one franchise it'd be PLANET OF THE APES. Fell in love with the movies when I was just a wee lad, and I love the new ones. Can't wait for what's to come after KINGDOM. It's a franchise that keeps on giving! Here's a sketch of my guy Dr. Zaius.
From “Donut & The Cheeseburger”, a comic I published in 2024 as the campaign began, but some of it still feels relevant.
Blockhead is the BEST comics podcast out there. Host and artist @geoffgcomics.bsky.social talks to cartoonists and has lovely conversations. It's my favorite thing to listen to when I'm drawing or when I'm daydreaming about going home and working on comics. Creators/fans - check out Blockhead ASAP!
Phantom Road by Jeff Lemire and Gabriel Walta is, as the kids say, a BANGER. A slow-burning, surreal horror-fantasy with down right beautiful art. Check it out. Here's a drawing of the nightmarish walkers that infiltrated my dreams after reading volume 1.
