OKAY FINE YOU CAN HAVE A CHURU

I've written a lot of big articles over the years, but my profile piece of @nickdragotta.bsky.social is one of my favorite things I've ever done. Get to know the Absolute Batman artist by reading this feature, with insight from Dragotta himself and a whole bunch of his collaborators over the years.

This week on Off Panel, artist @sanfordgreene.bsky.social joins the show to talk about this week's DC All In Saga: Darkseid vs. the World, his New York Comic Con experience, the changing world for comic artists, the original art market's impact on his work, and a whole lot more.

Out next month, I just carried these over the threshold

DD vs Stiltman, done by @thekylestarks.bsky.social today at Bedrock City Con. Thanks again Kyle!!! Cc @davidharper.bsky.social

‘tis the season.

Heretic was a trip, and definitely had some of the most wildly unexpected references of any movie I’ve ever seen.

This was such a fun conversation, despite my 7 year old laptop failing to cooperate on a couple of occasions. I'm glad real, in-depth comics journalism like this exists--so important to support it and keep it alive!

I'm finally feeling healthy enough to really write and it feels like my brain has been let out of prison after two weeks of detention. It's a miracle feeling.

thinking about what "making art" means to you? read witch hat thinking about what "being an artist" means to you? time for blue period

Coming up on Off Panel: - Sanford Greene - Kelly Thompson - Charlie Stickney - Yudori - Rachel Smythe - And a whole lot more! Want to ask guests like these questions and to access podcasts before anyone else? Back Off Panel on Patreon!

I'm editing next week's podcast and Chip Chat, and I have to say, it's a miracle they turned out as well as they did because I was dealing with pneumonia throughout. They are my podcasting equivalent of the Michael Jordan Flu Game.

Here’s to never growing up.

It’s once again time to watch the most incredible athlete of our time: Red Panda.

The New York Knicks are going 0-82. You heard it here first.

Everyone should experience the delight of @davidharper.bsky.social and PNW all-star @gwillow.me chatting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=va6c...

I’m both sick because whatever I had before turned into pneumonia and because I’m watching the damn New York Knicks raise a championship banner. Disgusting.

This week on Off Panel, writer G. Willow Wilson (@gwillow.me) visits the podcast to talk about her comic book journey, her work on Poison Ivy and Black Cat, the path to Kamala Khan, the story behind Batman: Bad Seeds, and more. Note: This was recorded before the Captain Marvel announcement!

Holy shit. I am The Scorpion! That goes alongside other appearances as an Arkham guard alias of The Batman Who Laughs and a soldier who interrogates a teenager in Morning Glories. I contain multitudes.

Alaska has finally become a place of culture. The @beetlemoses.bsky.social has landed.

Just a reminder, but if you'd like to listen to each week's episode of Off Panel before anyone else — like next week's with the great @gwillow.me, which is now up for backers two days before it goes live — you can by backing the podcast on Patreon. You get that and more, plus you support the work!

Between Widow’s Bay and Below, it has been an absolutely massive year for the Sea Hag.

I am having a VERY hard time buying Charlie Heaton as Josh Hartnett’s son in Below.

I'd buy Stilt-Man from Marvel and turn him into the world's most popular fictional character within two years, as he deserves.

I wrote about the things I liked or didn't like from a big, NYCC fueled week of comics, including the latest from BKV and Cliff Chiang, Absolute Justice (kind of) being revealed, Captain Marvel ascending, Grant Morrison's...James Bond???, Naoki Urasawa and Erica Henderson killing it, and more.

I've managed to avoid all illness for about a year and a half and apparently my body was just stocking up to hit me with a super flu on Tuesday night. Not a fan!

Always read John Allison, but especially when it stars Lottie "The GOAT" Grote. Solver Vol. 2 rules. Buy it! Read it! Love it!

LeUyen Pham is one of the best artists in comics, and today on SKTCHD, I have a sprawling art feature interview with her about her life and journey in comics before we break down four pages and the cover of AS I DREAM OF YOU, her latest graphic novel with Jennifer Lee and @01firstsecond.bsky.social.

Keep on (bee)keepin’ on.

Beetle Moses is on the USA Today bestseller list!!!!!

I just did a comic thing I never, ever expected to do, and I'm looking forward to sharing it. And discovering if I'm not bad at it? It should be interesting!

This was one of my favorite interviews of the year, as I sat down with Leuyen Pham to learn about how she approaches art, her work on AS I DREAM OF YOU, and to compliment her a WHOLE LOT. It's a delight.

This season of Slow Horses is an absolute spice factory. It might be the best one yet, even if the ending of this week’s episode nearly killed me.

A reminder for those at the back.

Hi! I’m Claire Scott, a comic author-illustrator looking for work in comics (interiors, assistance, flatting) and illustration. I am available for work! 💼: clairescottart.wixsite.com/portfolio/illustrations ✉️: clairescottart@gmail.com #PortfolioDay #Comics #Illustration

I personally consider this a continuation of Station Eleven and you cannot tell me otherwise. (I am so excited)

Me every time anyone or anything suggests there’s a Clayface movie coming out:

A retired Major League Baseball pitcher who now draws comics and is a marine biologist in his free time.
