Sitting at Glasgow International waiting to get over the ditch for Dublin Comicon. Binned the train and hired a car and will end up shaving 3 hours off the journey. Feeling greeeeet! See you about 11 @bigbangcomics.bsky.social
This Brian. He’s been staying with us this week. He is indeed a very good boy.
Last time at bat I got absolutely nailed in the nether regions. Golden rule is to show no signs of discomfort but I can’t lie the lad absolutely drilled me middle stump.
What say you? #powers25 from @brianmbendis.bsky.social @nickfil.bsky.social is out now from @darkhorse.com #comics
I’m gonna be controversial and say Moebius and Kutter > than Walker already. Nobody is better than Deena though. Except maybe a certain little girl turned legacy superheroine I’d love to check in on again…

I tells ya we missed a massive opportunity post covid to normalise walking about in cyberpunk masks. Our own Vaughan & Martin “The Private Eye” journey is right around the corner.

I’m going to Birmingham and London this weekend. I’ve spent 2 months saving “English” bank notes for the trip. If England really wanted a strong union with Scotland then accept our god damn Scottish bank notes!!!
A reminder just because you can vote in the Eisners You don’t have to vote in every category. If you aren’t familiar with all the work that has been nominated either educate yourself or don’t vote in that category. Nuff said.
Fellow Kiwi & Māori artist Dan Allen and I created a fan story set in the X-Men’s Krakoa era redeeming “Kiwi Black” Dan has redesigned “Kiwi” with an authentic Moko(face tattoo) & I’ve done my best to fit it into continuity @robjoneswrites.bsky.social on letters www.instagram.com/p/DYxPnH8l4S...
Left Scotland this morning nice and early at -1 degrees and arrived 10 hours later in Cancun to a healthy 31 degrees and goodness gracious me I have realised 16 years in the UK has not prepared this kiwi for this. 😅
This absolutely works. I had over 160 subfolders for my 5 issue series THIS LAND establishing every element of the world and its characters and their personal journeys which the reader never got to see but absolutely came through and informed storytelling decisions.
Writing Tip: #WritingCommunity
There was a few years after I accepted redundancy from my first long term career role where comics just weren’t in my budget. The public library was an absolute godsend. It also gave me the opportunity to try out new creators and characters that I previously had no interest in. Check them out.
Look at that. A politician who can clearly articulate and present their policies to the public. UK’s Labour government could learn a hell of a lot from this team.
When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.
Flying into Cancún next week. Heading to Xcaret park but keen for any other tourist recommendations.
Some work has fallen through, so I need some new freelance work asap. Please share if you can 😊

200 graphic novels fresh from Scholastic NZ What ever should I do with them?
Cricket chat. Watching Finn Allen smashing the skin off the ball to all corners in the IPL sets unrealistic expectations for my upcoming cricket season. Hell if I can get through with our majorly injuring myself I’ll consider it a win.
Local Carlisle Comicon today. You need a decent mindset going into these events and I think I talked myself out of it from the get go. Still a success but I needed to be better prepared for it in the upstairs department. Onto the next one!
