Today is final order cutoff for IF DESTRUCTION BE OUR LOT... #6.
What does it mean for you? If you want a copy you should let your local comic shop know today!
What does it mean for me? If people don't order it I won't be able to feed my kids.*
*My "kids" are not "technically" "human children".
Abe found life. Unfortunately for Abe, life found Abe.
IF DESTRUCTION BE OUR LOT... #6 on FOC now. Tell your local comic shop you want a copy. It's the nice thing to do.

It was brought to my attention that Christopher uses they/them pronouns. Thatβs on me and my apologies. I take it seriously and we do the best we can but on occasion mistakes are made.

Itβs truly an honor to be listed among such great creators in this thread.
I have been fortunate to have worked alongside @byrononeal.com & @jimmygaspero.bsky.social throughout the years. Experiencing their dedication to journalism and interviewing pushed me to strive for more with KiG

Grief, acceptance, and very weird snake creatures (like AI created in Dungeon Crawler Carl level weird)
Tonightβs reading. Canβt wait to chat with Casey about it next week.

35 years ago today Rage Against The Machine played their first show at Cal State Northridge. They went on to sell out stadiums around the world and got inducted into the Rock and Roll HOF. Whatever your dream, believe in yourself.
It takes tremendous passion & commitment to produce podcasts, articles, & the like every week. Then to do so AND make time to support others who do similar work? @byrononeal.com, @jimmygaspero.bsky.social, & @comicbookyeti.com provide great examples for us to follow. Now follow them & everyone inπ§΅

I've been following @grandmasterfaqs.bsky.social for a couple years now and I wish I was this calm as an interviewer. As a tastemaker, I respect the hell out of his opinions on books and he always seems to cover something I somehow missed. Follow him.

Comics are dope. That should say enough but @bjkicks.bsky.social is one of the most heartfelt and kind people working in the space, plus he's a fellow North Carolinian. Give him a follow.

This is not a comprehensive list. I don't have time to listen to everything out there so please don't feel like an omission was intentional and take the opportunity to drop yours below.

In the pantheon of comic book interviewers, none of us looks more like a comic book fan than @beardedcomicbro.bsky.social. Genuine, infectious, I love tuning in for new angles I hadn't thought about before. Follow and prepare for beard envy.

Look, @sktchd.bsky.social is the absolute gold standard we are all just trying to keep up with. The breath of comics knowledge in that brain is insane which normally doesn't translate to personable, but dammit if he doesn't have both. Sub up and check out his Patreon.
