Sweet is bursting at the seems today as we launch shelves on Bindings (bindings.app)! #comicbooks #webtoon #comics
Text that reads dear comic creators Text that reads "Marketing F@#!%NG EVERYTHING With..." This image shows a webpage for "The (Nearly) Full Gillen," which appears to be the official website or newsletter page for comic book writer Kieron Gillen. The page features: • A stylized header with colorful abstract artwork and a small profile photo
 • The title "The (Nearly) Full Gillen" with "Shared by Kieron Gillen" underneath
 • A brief bio explaining that Gillen writes comics and is the co-creator of successful works like The Wicked + the Divine, The Power Fantasy, DIE, and Once & Future
 • A newsletter signup form with buttons for "NEWSLETTER," "WEBSITE," and "FIND STORES"
 • A showcase of comic book covers arranged in a grid, featuring: ▪ Multiple issues of "The Power Fantasy" series (#1-6 and Vol. 1)
 ▪ "We Called Them Giants"
 ▪ Several "Ludocrats" issues
 ▪ "The Wicked + The Divine" series The bottom of the image has a large yellow banner with the word "SHELVES" displayed prominently, suggesting this section showcases Gillen's published works. The layout is designed to highlight Gillen's comic book portfolio and provide ways for fans to connect through a newsletter or find his works in stores.
