In case you missed it, my latest video inspects Black Hole by Charles Burns. It’s about a teen plague that mutates each person into something different and gross. https://t.co/DRsg7vK4df

Wow. Just wow. Season 3 of Pennyworth (the origin of Batman’s butler) will have a crossover with V for Vendetta. DC continues to disrespect Alan Moore. This sounds ridiculous. https://t.co/XzPOYR3H1H

The trade paperback collecting the full story for Do a Powerbomb! is out. I recommend it. It’s exciting and also has some huge twists on an emotional journey. @danielwarrenart, did you consider any different titles? Do a Suplex, etc? https://t.co/Ycj3Tbn8nl

@VitaminSteve @williambwest Every week? It was a big deal for me when Mike Allred came in for the X-Cellent. And when Daniel Warren Johnson did Beta Ray Bill. When Donny Cates and Nic Klein took over Thor. This is just recent stuff off the top of my head.

George Orwell's 1984: The Graphic Novel wins the #Eisner for Best Adaptation from Another Medium. Cool, more people should know that story. https://t.co/Mbb84OZU6t

Barry Windsor-Smith

I find Barry Windsor-Smith’s artwork gorgeous but his art also had a fascinating evolution. I follow that, what he did on Weapon X that was so special and compare it with his more recent work, Monsters. https://t.co/h6yZt1dEWH
