The Study of Comics in Academia
May 30, 6 PM EDT
I'll be moderating a panel for @cartoonist.coop Nib & Ink Digital Comics Festival, with @neilcohn.bsky.social @scottmccloud.bsky.social @nsousanis.bsky.social - geeking over the developments in comics studies.

Uniformly, at conventions in the green room, the reality show contestants are the WORST PEOPLE.

Lesnar been skipping leg day. Femi has not. #wrestlemania

Truth in advertising, this is actually how much money I make

It's been so interesting to watch this unfold. Barnes & Noble and other big book chains shut indies down in the the 1990s (and on) and then Amazon came along and ate up all the book market share. Now people tired of big corporations are creating demand for more indies

Such different messages on various social platforms today.

Threads: BookCon sucks!

Twitter: The Mets suck! Wrestlemania sucks!

BlueSky: The world sucks!

For the Sunday crowd!

But they charged way more for tickets so made more m money.

Cody -Orton: This could have been such a great match without all that non-wrestler nonsense and simple reliance on two great students of wrestling history. Randy’s selling is so awesome, Cody radiates conviction. Cody heel turn would be even better.

WE'RE GOING TO #BOOKCON!

At IDW and @topshelfcomix.bsky.social, we missed our readers, so we thought we'd come to you.

Do you plan on going?

The place to be is at booth #361. See you in #NYC.

Elon Musk basically accused Trump of being a pedophile and then got dinner with him again a few months later. Joe Rogan acted shocked and dismayed about ICE and Iran and now he’s standing behind Trump in the Oval Office. These guys only care about holding onto power through any means necessary

And now I’m at #BICS! Go visit @zackquaintance.bsky.social at booth #191!

It’s interesting to hear the book author and showrunner talk about the Heated Rivalry series because Reid is quite instinctive and Tierney can break down every little thing. Both are very good at this (giant panel) and talking about the show. #bookcon #heatedrivalry

Jacob Tierney is talking about making something that has queer joy and is also “fuckin’ horny.” He says the story is told through memories and how sex is such a powerful part of memory and emotion. #bookcon #heatedrivalry

This is the first time author Rachel Reid and showrunner Jacob Tierney have done a panel together. But who will fill those last two chairs? 🪑 #bookcon #heatedrivalry

I’m at #BookCon. Seated for the Heated Rivalry panel and the energy here makes Hall H look like a funeral.

Comic book cover by Hayden Sherman and colors by Jordie Bellaire depicting a giant Scylla creature from mythology bathed in blues in the background, as a fully armored Wonder Woman attacks with the Athena blade, as Circe conjures magic. The scene is bathed in blues and greens.

Also, in case anyone thinks we're planning to take our foot of the gas...this is @cleanlined.bsky.social & Jordie Bellaire's spectacular cover for ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN #22 (July).

I have really liked all our main covers, but this is one of my favorites of the run so far:

We are so far beyond even Teapot Dome levels of "government captured by private industry" in this country, and Democrats genuinely seem to believe their unpopularity is driven by being too nice to trans people, instead of being driven by their screamingly obvious hypocrisy about this.

Enjoy your life in Florida puttering around in a golf cart and hitching your pants up to your tits, fleeing billionaires. I'll just be here in NYC enjoying art, street fashion, the best and most diverse food in the country served at the most elegant restaurants and the world's most iconic skyline.

This man controls your health.

People getting laid off is not the same thing as getting fired. Can headline writers get that straight?

Every single hour of every single day I am gobsmacked by the clueless, evil "Let them eat cake" attitudes of the super rich and their oblivion to the struggles of the real people they leach off of every day.

Peter Kľúčik, Tolkien's Hobbit

They are wrong. It was Primus.

Just lost and crushed. #mets

These Mets look like a college team against the Dodgers. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the guy who just got called up has been the hitting star.

Marvel was #1 in sales throughout that entire period.
