It was so cool watching this strip come in and getting it prepped each week. You’ll have an even cooler experience reading it in one sitting

On the same day we had:
- The return of the best comic journalist of our times.
- A really well written and argument tweet about a mainstream comic.
Both make noise and also show to more people what Comic Journalism SHOULD be like.
It's was a good day.

Many months ago, Ram hit me up to ask if I'd consider unretiring for one last thing.
I asked him what he had in mind.
He'd decided not to renew at DC, and said he wanted to step away from superheroes, as well as just monthly DM comics.
I thought it over.
I said yes.

You realize Moore was absolutely right about the infantile nature of the exercise of trying to distil life-lessons from Superhero stuff. Even worse when people do it with his stuff and utter despair when it's Thiel.

As DC Vertigo is coming with his classic logo, let's all praise its designer, the great RICHARD BRUNING.
He was DC art director for years and thanks to him we have Watchmen, The Dark Knight or The Killing Joke designs...

Probably the funniest thing I did after learning Grant Morrison was a big fan of my work is going 'Oh lmao' and then ignoring it to go onto write multiple essays dissecting the many failings and limitations of their work.
Outer validation does nothing for me I fear.

A critic said once "Morrison's Batman Run" was so impactfull that all the following runs are influenced by him and tried to answer it.
So, is curious that the perfect answer is made (V's), and then just after that the first run out of Morrison vibes starts (Fraction's).

This is lowkey me after I've written anything. I do the best I can, get as much as I can out of the experience.
Then after, my brain's like 'I've failed' and can only really see the flaws/limits, and just obsesses over all the ways it could've been better. 😂
No validation etc does anything.

Nothing worse than a 'talking scene' in a comic that's visualized like a 'staring at the screen' youtuber apology video.

A thing I wish I saw more of is people who are not pros/creators, just regular folks, discussing craft of the comics they're reading just for themselves, casually, like in film or anything else, so all I know to do is just do that which I would like to see more of lol.
