NEW! Out this week—Marvel’s 1776 is in comic stores with a FOIL variant cover by me!🔥 Here I’m homaging an incredible Jack Kirby pinup What If?-style piece, imagining CAPTAIN AMERICA as if the story happened during the American Revolutionary War.🇺🇸 In stores on Wednesday!

I’ve always liked Jack Kirby’s Etrigan the Demon. He’s not used enough in the DC universe. I picked up this 20+ - year-old comic because it had a neat-looking, surreal cover #comicbooks #comics #comiccovers

My review of #Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere

A ★★★★ review of Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025)

Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere may be the most polarizing film of 2025. Sorta like The Boss himself. Seems there are just as many people in the Springsteen-mumbles-too-much camp as are in the c...

Holy gimmick, Batman! I’m usually annoyed when longstanding titles get revamps and start over at #1. But Matt Fraction’s story has been really good the first two issues. #Batman #comics #comicbooks #comicsky

Nearly didn’t pick this new title up (I’m buying fewer new comics and focusing on old comics that help complete collected title runs), but I’m glad I changed my mind last minute. Interesting story by Al Ewing #comics #comicbooks #comicsky

A ★★★★★ review of One Battle After Another (2025)

John Paul Anderson, perhaps more than any other writer/director, has chronicled or examined the existential themes shared by we Gen-Xers: anxiety, dysfunction, life meaning, loneliness and despair, th...

Really like this Darkseid’s Legion story arc. Superboy -Prime has a meta one-liner about Dan Jurgens that is so unexpected I laughed out loud when I read it. #comics #comicbooks #comicsky

Every comic book purchase I make is me chasing the high I felt, circa 1975, from standing in front of the magazine stand and spinner rack at the Ben Franklin store in Summersville, #WV, with my grandfather, and being wowed by all the color and action #westvirginia #comics #comicbooks

One of my all-time favorite characters is The Creeper, created in 1968 by Steve Ditko while at #DC. Thrilled to pick up his first appearance in Showcase #73 #comics #comicbooks
