I’m seeing people arguing about why comic stores are closing, so let me point out the elephant in the room.
If you pirate, torrent, or read bootleg comics online instead of paying for them, then YOU are the reason comic stores are closing.
Cool? Cool.
Comics are for everyone.
There is no excuse for harassment.
There is no place for homophobia, transphobia, racism or misogyny in the comics industry, comics criticism or comics fandom.
Don’t be a dick.

It must be opposed.
When I was a student, I interviewed Alan Moore (he was lovely). I mentioned that I hoped to write comics professionally someday, but I was worried I’d never make it. He said, “You will. Because you’ll realise the alternative is, like, working in an office.”
He was right.
Maybe now’s a good time to ask
@Nigel_Farage
if he still “can’t remember” what he discussed with Julian Assange when he visited the Ecuadorean Embassy on 9th March 2017. I wonder if the USB drive he allegedly gave Assange is now in the hands of UK police?
#ADHD
is a complex and debilitating neurological disorder, but if only a few more skeptical normies would say, “Why don’t you just—?” then we could beat this thing once and for all.
Thanks guys. Never occurred to us. Not once. 🙄
So we’ve suspected it for a while, but today we got the official diagnosis. I’m the father of an autistic child. It’s going to be a long road, but I’m learning the steps I need to take.
If you're wondering why Twitter is suddenly full of randos, it's because That Fuckwit has removed the "Retweeted By" tags from your "Following" timeline.
do y'all remember b4 Zoe Saldana was Gamora, Jeffrey Dean Morgan was Negan, Chris Evans was Captain America & Idris Elba was just more fine, they were a ragtag black ops team in this highly SLEPT ON movie from the early 2000s & equally slept on comic by

My MCU rewatch rolled around to IRON MAN 3, which I've seen a million times before and is still a joy. It honestly baffles me that some people don't love this movie. It's pure entertainment.

Just feeling hollowed out by the news that Carlos Ezquerra has passed away. Between Strontium Dog and Judge Dredd, his work has meant more to me over the years than any other comic artist. I remember how his pages would smell of fine cigar smoke. He was just a lovely man.

Inspiration is perishable, so following immediate “distractions” can lead to great productivity; just not necessarily in the direction you might have planned, or expected. Stay agile, and see where it takes you.

An hour ago, the President of the United States retweeted a video showing one of his own supporters yelling “White Power!”
I went to his twitter feed and saw it for myself.
This is an emergency.

One time on a panel at a comic con, I asked the audience, who reads Raina Telgemeier? Not one hand went up.
Then I asked them, who’s *heard* of Raina Telgemeier? Not one hand went up.
She’s the best-selling graphic novelist in the US.
Comics are for everyone.
Rest in peace, Albert Udzero. Asterix taught me to read; taught me to *love* reading; taught me the language of visual storytelling; and brought me—and millions of others—a great deal of joy. x
Guys I watched The Matrix Reloaded for the first time in nearly 20 years and the Architect’s dialogue actually sort of made sense this time.
Yeah okay the multi-Agent Smith brawl looks videogamey, but the freeway sequence kicks ass.
Also: Monica Bellucci.

Arron Banks funded Nigel Farage’s Brexit campaign.
Arron Banks’s own ghostwriter, after being granted access to his private texts and emails, described Arron Banks as “an agent of influence for the Russian state.”
Get it yet?
This to remind you is what Mrs Tice aka Isabel Oakeshott has to say about Arron Banks, the source of Farage’s funds. She wrote this in Nov 17 but I only put it into public domain 2 days ago.
One of the things I got from reading dystopian cyberpunk, Dredd, Ballard etc in my youth was this underlying assumption that society would eventually, inevitably, simply go insane.
And here we are.
Everywhere you look, rage-fuelled death cults setting themselves on fire.
Just watched BLADE RUNNER 2049 for the first time since release. What an absolute stone-cold masterpiece.
I'm going to start a blog and/or email newsletter later this year, and this is one of the films I need to write about.

stuck the landing. Bizarrely, and against all the odds, one of the smartest, bravest, weirdest, downright coolest shows ever. I did not expect to like it. But I love it.
… Sorry, Alan.
Lately my son’s been feeling a bit stressed and anxious, worried he doesn’t fit in, and intimidated by his new school. So tonight I introduced him to X-MEN. Being different is a superpower.
Plus, y’know, they have a fucking stealth jet under the playground.
