Comic Tropes on X
I review the techniques and history of a wide variety of comic book creators and characters. Illustrated an Eisner-nominated comic back in 2011.

Black Hole: A Graphic Novel
Charles Burns
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

Lauxor
Daniel Karhunen
It’s the 2 year anniversary of Lauxor, a mystery/action comic about robots trying to figure out why they can’t transform. Written by @daniel_karhunen, lettered by me. You can buy it from @Markosia: https://t.co/1PmjNf333f

V for Vendetta
Alan Moore
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

Do a Powerbomb
Daniel Warren Johnson
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

Beta Ray Bill: Argent Star
Daniel Johnson
@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.

1984: 75th Anniversary
George Orwell
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

Monsters
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

Batman: The Killing Joke Deluxe (New Edition)
Alan Moore
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
