Hey friends! I am waiting for freelance invoices to be filled and my account has dipped $115 into the negative, with bills coming out tomorrow and bank fees already accruing. If you can spare anything, even a share, I would be so grateful! 💛

As someone who can say I made Marvel stories for a living, if that's the case, you made a bad movie.

Nope.

Let's be real here: "Be strong enough to be gentle" is an all-timer of a mantra that many more people should take heed of

I'm deeply saddened to read of Peter Cullen passing Like many of my generation (& countless since), his Optimus Prime *was* my childhood, showcasing a warmth beyond just being a battle-hardened hero that meant everything to me Thank you for all you gave us, Peter RIP

"Be strong enough to be gentle" Rust in peace Peter Cullen.

Hey y'all, I know times are tough out there for everybody, especially in comics. But I got laid off from my day job so I'm looking for work if anyone needs a colorist. Below are some samples. Reach out if you would like page examples. Please reach out or share if you're looking for a colorist

So Nicholas Hoult just popped in to assure people that they shouldn't support him and then didn't even take the paycheck? Like I appreciate that he almost certainly read the room and there should be some credit for that, but I am truly no longer used to celebrities *not* doubling down.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ONE OF THE COOLEST DUDES IN COMICS AND IN NEW YORK

I miss mass-market paperbacks. They fit in a back pocket. You could read through them like twice before they disintegrated. You could get them for a few bucks at basically every grocery store at the checkout. They were great

Most important comic of my editorial career. Finally something that goes as hard as I’ve always wanted to.

Spencer Ackerman@attackerman.bsky.social · last wk.

Today, me & Antonio Fuso proudly announce our upcoming ongoing comic book series! It’s about state violence and its consequences — as when the masked agents of SNO start showing up murdered. We intend to push the boundaries of political critique in comic books. Because NO ONE ESCAPES THE DIALECTIC.

Hey, Brooklyn! PLEASE do this tomorrow! Call your NYS assembly members, senators, and city council members, too! Find them here: reps.fyi And tell @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social the same thing here: HeyMamdani.fyi

Bright D Limm 임대중@bdlimm.myatproto.social · last wk.

Action item for all of us: call our electeds, eapecially our US House Reps. Say: "I ask that you PUBLICLY oppose Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn's anti-democratic attempt to change party rules post-primary—and add that if she tries it, you won't recognize her as BK Dems' chair." bsky.app/profile/newk...

Please share this with all your friends in Brooklyn.

🚨BREAKING 🦠 On Friday, the US CDC arbitrarily shifted higher COVlD levels into lower categories depicted with cooler colors. Much of what was Very High is now "High." What was High is now "Moderate" or "Low." Low is "Very Low." 1/

I'm sad to announce that Friday was my last day working for The Beat as an editor and contributing writer. The following statement provides context for my departure.

Okay an actual shit-stirring one: The original class of the New Mutants are better characters than the classic X-Men and the fact that Sunspot is the only one who has had any real leadership and primary focus as A Driving Force within mutantkind is wasted potential Dani should be leading the X-Men

Asher Elbein@asherelbein.bsky.social · 2w ago

Okay, I'm genuinely throwing this out to people: what are your mildly shit-stirring takes on X-Men comics and characters?

I was PART OF the X-Men office when they pitched GENERATION X-23 & thought it was a solid name to relaunch the Laura Kinney book under (issues with the X-23 moniker notwithstanding). But now that I am a civilian again I am SHOCKED by how often I think 'There's a Generation X boo-?! No, it's X-23'.

Azrael sketch cover! I saw the red background and I knew exactly who needed to be drawn on it. Look for it soon on the @helioscopepdx.bsky.social Etsy store!

This is absolutely WILD. Here's the dashboard video posted by @fritschner.bsky.social. Fast forward to about 1 minute. An ICE officer jumps out of a van and pulls a gun on this woman immediately before lying and claiming she "almost ran us over." *profanity warning if watching in public.

Aaron Fritschner@fritschner.bsky.social · 2w ago

Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.
