no question at all that our book of the week - at least! - is Guillem March’s new Image project, for which he’s doing everything, even colors and letters. it’s sexy - which of course you expect - but also unfathomably lush, stunning cartooning of the natural world as well as the erotic.

I’ve enjoyed the other Hellraiser one-shots so far but this week’s Female Cenobite spotlight is hands down best yet - enough so that after finishing I turned around and read it again. I can’t even remember the last time I did that. Tini Howard “gets” this finicky mythos, by god does she get it.

Clive Barker’s Hellraiser Resurrections: The Deep Gospel, cover by Rebeca Puebla. Female Cenobite in her majesty. The issue itself addresses the fact that she lacks a name, but then, they all lack names on purpose. Clive Barker’s Hellraiser Resurrections: The Deep Gospel, by Tini Howard and Jenny Cha. Our girl runs afoul of the Engineer and for her sins is sent back to the bottom of the Labyrinth. This relaunch is more or less picking up directly from Hellraiser II - the half-formed Hellraiser III Cenobites are destroyed in one of the previous one-shots to emphasize that the first two movies are really all that counts. As well they should, though I admit I’d be sad if we didn’t get more Angelique at some point. Clive Barker’s Hellraiser Resurrections: The Deep Gospel, by Tini Howard and Jenny Cha. Our heroine finds herself with a group of ducklings to shepherd, and that goes about as well as you’d expect - for them. Just about every depiction of the Cenobite creation process has contradicted every previous depiction. I like the process we’re shown here, with the young Cenobites banished to the pit like pupa, but it clearly isn’t what we were ever shown at any time before. You know what I say to that? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Clive Barker’s Hellraiser Resurrections: The Deep Gospel, by Tini Howard and Jenny Cha. A baby Cenobite is eaten by the Engineer because he’s not quite done yet, apparently he’ll be digested and shat out again into the pit to start all over. Groovy.

I have a duty to the children to raise my library voice and say, "Free Palestine." It is not too dangerous to say. It is human decency. Palestinian people are worthy of tomorrow. We are human.

"the author of that harry potter story leads an insane cult that's captured much of the media in this country" is a different person if you're in the UK or the US

One of the great unappreciated authorial decisions in sci-fi history is when Westwood Games had their Mysterious All-Powerful Alien antagonists be revealed, in their own campaign, as a bunch of hillbilly bluecollar miners working for an exploitative mega corporation and way in over their skis.

This is so fucking true. I NEVER thought I'd see people in my lifetime of all stripes wearing keffiyehs in public and risking their careers for Palestinian liberation. I couldn't imagine this. Ever. It's moving, it's beautiful, it's unbelievable. And yet it's real.

solidarity is a beautiful thing to witness. ten years ago if you told a Palestinian that multiple artists would drop out of a career-changing tour in solidarity with their people against genocide, they would not believe you. never give up hope in any struggle for liberation, never stop fighting.

I wrote and storyboarded this section of a new Regular Show episode and of all the things I absolutely did NOT expect to go all the way through, it's Eileen swinging her shirt above her head in a bra followed by Rigby's... uhhh... I guess I'll say "line?" or "realization?" ..."awakening?"
