The precarity of freelancers aside, this is a slight improvement on a system in which every series is either a great success that runs for a hundred issues or a failure that fizzles after seven. In this system your comic can be a nice, tidy 6-issue story that sold so-so but became a cult classic.

I keep telling people this and no one believes me: at least at DC, there is no such thing as “ongoings” and “minis” anymore. There hasn’t been for about 5 years now. Every single set of 6 issues is an audition to the readers for more.

An absolutely fascinating reframing of my recent Image series SLEEP (now collected in hardcover and TPB) that names and weighs the various moral philosophies at play in both the protagonist's and the townsfolk's actions. A very cool analysis of something I only meant to be a ripping yarn!

Sleep by @zandercannon.bsky.social is more than just a compelling, inventive comics take on the classic Werewolf or Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde gothic horror comicphilosophy.com/e3a6 It presents a normative ethics problem along the lines of the zero-sum, no-win scenario of the Trolley problem. But ...1/2

David Harper has been Sleep and Kaijumax's #1 booster, and I greatly appreciate him recruiting #2 here.

In Double Take, @oliversava.bsky.social and @davidharper.bsky.social take a look at the recently released collection of @zandercannon.bsky.social's @imagecomics.com series SLEEP, and the gang went deep in a discussion about this series about a haunted man who turns into a monster whenever he sleeps.

I made @oliversava.bsky.social read Sleep in the hopes of expanding my ongoing @zandercannon.bsky.social propaganda campaign, and somehow Oliver made ME like it more as we discussed it for Double Take. What the heck?! Read Sleep. It rules.

I miss the age of responsible government spending. For what was spent on the Reflecting Pool, back in the '70s we could have gotten a Bionic Man, a Bionic Woman, AND a Bionic Dog

Lindsay Wagner as Jaime Sommers, the Bionic Woman, and a German Shepherd, the Bionic Dog Max, short for Maximillion, because he cost a million dollars to create

Easily my favorite work by Alan Moore. And the @geneha.com and @zandercannon.bsky.social artwork? Gorgeous.

Top ten comics?

On my way to Canada for TCAF (Table #224! I'll be there with @ryehickman.bsky.social!) so lets have some Office Hours while I'm on the train all day. Comment here to leave a question about me, my books, or writing in general. If you like, you can use the handy-dandy anonymo-tron: ngl.link/planetx2
