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.
Variant cover for Superman/Spider-Man #1 by Doc Shaner, featuring Spider-Man driving up the side of a building in the Spider-Mobile, and Superman driving the Super-Mobile, fending off attacks from their respective villains. It was a lot of work, thank you for your time.

That fun moment when I move documents and ref material from my "Possible Projects" folder to "Active Projects" folder!

Dave Bell's new article on The Howard-Verse is an exhaustive rundown of the current CONAN comics (and related titles) being published by Titan Comics.

Beyond the high praise, it's a solid overview of what's coming out and where to start reading: howard-verse.com/current-cona...

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.

Keep supporting art + creators.

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.

Mount Costume has now been sorted into categories and I have begun measuring pieces.

@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.
Photo of what might have once been a nice dining room table, before it was piled with costume pieces (coats, robes, pajama sets, houseboats and assorted scarves, plus sweater vests on the floor). A couch that is piled with men's vests and assorted women's clothes, with piles of pants and a bin full of socks & tights nearby. Not visible: my husband's growing despair. A four- foot high pile of men's breeches (knee-length pants, as in the days of yore). Yes, this is a different pile than the two by the couch. There are two other pant piles not shown. A long wall-mounted coat rack hung with men's vest-and-breeches sets and more frock coats.

Soooo~This is my living room/dining room right now.

Stacy thought she was buying around 20 items from the Interview With a Vampire Season 3 costume auction happening north of Toronto.

The photos were samples from each lot of 100+ items. She missed that detail.

She now has 277 new costume pieces.

Use platforms to build an audience if you can, but always-ALWAYS make sure your personal website is what you promote from the start.

That way, when they enshittify (and don't fool yourself, they will), you are able to leave the platform and carry on.

I just got this notification from this trial Meta is conducting. For art to be seen, fees are required. No more likes because your work is interesting to ppl, it is all just paid access to huge audiences. And these are just starting fees, they go up after a month. 👎😬😭
$1 for your first month a prevents your profile from being impersonated and people are able to find you when they search $3.29 for your first month means ppl can find you in the search feature and you get a sticker $10 for your first month means you get to be in the search feature, can add links to reels and custom chats $33.49 for your first month means you are special so we promote you
