Chuffed to see Akira for the 40th anniversary (?) tonight at a big multiplex. Went to Bath’s Little Theatre ten years ago for the last milestone. Still great! Nodded off a little but it’s long and was late. Glad to have had all your little ‘watch for this bit’ reminders in my head as it went along.
Luke is an incredible comic maker, just look at some of the sample art in here 👇

Photo of page 1 to Bacon Chapter 1 a mini comic by Luke Hyde. A moody drawing, a cute bird sits on a dead tree in the centre of a mostly empty page. The text reads “long before I was born there came a dragon”.

I had been looking for this #benchmark on #bradfordonavon's Barton Bridge for some time, always looking on the upright rather than the top. Silly me, there it is!

(Sorry for all the hawking, but — as I may have said in the past — whenever I promote the book I get new enquiries, so people are still learning it exists…)

a comic strip. panel 1: a window in a run-down apt. 2: spider-man's head appears in the window. 3: spider-man flips into the room, "Jeeeeepers, what a night! I'm so hungry!" 4: he stands before an empty refrigerator, "Petey, Petey, Petey... What do you have to eaty?" He sighs. 5: He grips the cabinets, "Come on friendly neighborhood spider-manwich...." 6: but opening the cabinet finds nothing but skittering roaches, to whom he says, "oh, hey guys." 7. He removes his mask, "It's just me, it's Pete," he reassures them. 8. He sprays webbing into the waffle maker, "Oh well, looks like web waffles again tonight, fellas"
new spider-man trailer, obligatory spider-man post
Q for @cuntersthompson.bsky.social : how did she end up on the front of the Jimmy Olsen Hardcover?
I just finished Parasocial by @alexdecampi.bsky.social and @ericafails.bsky.social, thanks to the local public library. It was such a great comic, like Misery for the social media age (which I'm sure no one has said before). But it was so good, and worth checking out.

I've been here since Gen 1. Maybe that should make me feel old but I can't help but feel like a kid about it.

I watched SEND HELP with a friend who only knew Raimi from his Marvel movies. Sam still know when to throw in blood & a jumps scare.

When you return to your project and find one of them is missing an arm! And no one fesses. Was it the cat??? One spare human lineman (I think) arm filling in duty now. #bloodBowl

Did edge highlights on blue & red parts on my set today, and spot coloured the few skulls & scarabs. They’re so nearly there.
