Shout out to my LCS @capecowlcomics.bsky.social . The way that I find out about a lot of comics I otherwise would pass is either through Eitan or one of the very knowledgeable staffers who work there. They're enthusiastic about books they enjoy and will tell you why.
Thanks @ladyjax.bsky.social! ❤️❤️❤️
Selling comics to comic shops is hard work, but could it be done more effectively? And made easier, even? I tried to find out, as I asked retailers like @thirdeyecomics.bsky.social, @capecowlcomics.bsky.social, and @challengers.bsky.social for tips on how creators can better sell their work.
Rare that I get to co-write/illustrate a cover/design the book.
W/ Estuary from Oni Press (!), I had the opportunity to do all that & felt the need to level-up as a member of this incredible the team:
Andry/House/Canon/Esposito/Pallares/Del Rey
Pre-order weekend is here!
For my final (written) piece from ComicsPRO, I talked to folks like @jazzlynstone.bsky.social, @patrickhorvath.bsky.social, @filipsablik.bsky.social, @capecowlcomics.bsky.social, and more about what's making them the most hopeful about this moment in comics. The results were...honestly quite lovely!
❤️❤️❤️
I wrote about ten things I liked or didn't like from the week of comics, including Squirrel Girl heading to Webtoon, Oni getting redistributed, a great looking French graphic novel, a podcast nearing its end, Batman title pages, a publisher on pause, a comic shop doing cool things, and more.

How did @nickdragotta.bsky.social build out the look and feel of Absolute Batman? I talked with the artist for a feature about the design of that character and title, and the mindset that went into it.
This feature from 2024 is open to non-subscribers.
Just found out this dude’s store is called Dreamhaven Books. dreamhavenbooks.com
Comics retailing legend Greg Ketter standing up to ICE in Minneapolis. Yes, that's tear gas. He's 70 years old.

🚨Heads up!🚨 We’re going to close early this evening (Friday) for a little staff shindig. For your safety, we highly recommend steering clear of the shop between then and Saturday morning. Egg Nog Buzzballs have been procured and nothing good could possibly come from that.
A framed comic book of Black Panther #1 with T’Challa riding a flying chariot type thing and Nakia near him, with the Port of Oakland shipping cranes and a Welcome to Oakland street sign in the background and the Cape and Cowl Comics logo below the title.
Finally got this beauty in a frame! It’s Black Panther #1 with the Oakland variant cover from @capecowlcomics.bsky.social and it’s fucking glorious. This was also written by Ta-Nehisi Coates.
