Lichenstein was a thief and a hack. Compare the line work of the panels he copied to the lifeless 'fine art' versions he made. The original comic artists have better construction, more nuanced and confident line work, and they actually created the damn work themselves.

More than anything else, this Superman/Spider-Man crossover allows a whole new generation of creators to remind people how much FUN comics can be.
Here's my variant cover for Superman/Spider-Man #1 without the text, featuring the vehicle that climbs walls and the other one that punches. Because I knew what to do with my one chance to draw Spider-Man.

Thankful that I didn't know about the AI caricature trend until I saw people complaining about it, because apparently the quality of people I follow is high enough that slop posting from friends isn't an ongoing problem.

This week we had a Heroic Signatures meeting to discuss Conan storylines through to the end of 2027.
I pitched the issue #50 big finish back when we were negotiating my long term Conan contract, but getting more granular about what that entails feels both good and weird at the same time.

@jimzub.bsky.social has been shilling this "opportunity" widely in a desperate bid to reclaim our living room. So far he's lined up a few friends, a costume rental store and a pair of school theatre troupes.
