It looks like YouTube and Tubi have it free with ads rn (called Black Hole High). Also seems to be on Prime Video!
I'm so glad you know this show too, I can probably count on one hand the number of folks I know who have ever watched it. It's always my go-to for the obscure media writing question. You are a woman of impeccable taste!
Or wormhole, I don't know science
ON TOP OF A BLACK HOOOOLE
IT'S SO GOOD!!!
THE CHILDREN YEARN FOR SCI-FI HIGH SCHOOL SHENANIGANS
Let me resurrect Ruby Gloom or Strange Days at Blake Holsey High!!!
NOOOOO
Had SO much fun at last year's FCBD event with Sterling Silver Comics that I'm coming back again this year! Stop by and get copies of Abuzz, Flash Gordon, Miraculous Chibi, and more signed by yours truly (I'll also be rocking a few sets of my latest tarot/oracle decks for sale).
I don't have any details other than I've seen multiple folks from the Mad Cave teams in editorial and marketing saying on their socials they were unexpectedly let go of today.
Hey folks, after nearly 4 years at Mad Cave, I was let go this morning. It was a wonderful time getting to work with an amazing list of creators. If we have worked together, please stay in touch. I am available for freelance editing and would love to work with you all in the future.
Sending lots of love to all those as Mad Cave who were unexpectedly laid off this morning. Extremely talented folks, some of my favorite to work with. I'm hoping everyone finds something new and stable soon! 💙
Oh James! I'm so sorry to hear that! You're a fabulous person (and editor of course!), I hope you land somewhere new soon. I'm so heartbroken for all of you folks!
Maya, I am so sorry! Thank you for all the amazing work you did for Abuzz and so many other fabulous titles. You are a joy and I hope you land on your feet. 💜
Dude Bro Party Massacre III is the Wet Hot American Summer of horror movies, which is some of the highest praise I can give it, personally speaking.
I feel like how big boobs are in comics can be another recession indicator but I have not done the research
Penny and the Yeti is out this Tuesday, 4/21 in bookstores and Wednesday, 4/22 in comic book shops. Check out what @lisanaffziger.bsky.social, @amythunderjam.bsky.social, @jeremywhitley.bsky.social, & @peposed.bsky.social said about it. It made @garymoloney.bsky.social cry. @papercutzgn.bsky.social
Works on contingency? No, money down!
Or Thrillho
It warmed my heart and was sorely needed!!!
Thank you, Lauren! 💖 couldn't have done it without everyone, especially you taking the chance on me to start.
MISS YALL ALREADY, PLEASE COME BACK SOON!!!
Stopped into Collector's Paradise last week with @laynemorgan.bsky.social & @amythunderjam.bsky.social and signed a bunch of comics if that's your thing!
Big love to the Shannon & Ed for the warm welcome & support 💜🙏🥲
I know, right? I won't lie, it already got me dreaming about what comes next! (I'll email you the sweet message my friend sent.)

...and was eagerly asking if there'd be a book 2 so her favorite couple could "work things out". This absolutely made my week, and feels like a good time to remind folks about this very heartfelt book which is available through comic shops and booksellers everywhere.
The cover for ABUZZ from Maverick OGNs. Art by Stelladia, cover credits: Amy Chase (writer), Stelladia (inker), Ellie Wright (colorist), Taylor Esposito (letterer). Four high school teens wearing domino masks and dressed in formalwear are attending a homecoming dance. Beatriz whispers to her cousin Hero while Ben shows Claudio his phone. Claudio and Hero are shyly looking over their shoulder towards one another, back to back, while fingertips almost touch. There are vibrant bee-shaped balloons above them.
This week I received the loveliest message from a friend from college. We haven't kept up much in the last decade, but she recently bought a copy of Abuzz for a friend's teen daughter, and "it's pretty much her favorite book right now". She identified a lot with our nonbinary protagonist...
