HUGE NYCC NEWS! Just kidding. New issue has dropped! It’s a prequel to Necropolitan #1. This one doesn’t take place in Hell. It’s like one of those Orange is the New Black flashback episodes before they’re in jail.

Sit down for breakfast but because I have Truth alerts on my phone--professional hazard on the fascism beat--I learn five minutes after the fact that Trump is sending troops to Portland with authorization for "full force." Not a drill, friends.

Julian Darius is one of the best undiscovered comics writers today. His NEMOT RISING space-horror mini is part of a larger Martian Universe that’s like a Mitchener-esque Martian saga:

I figure I should probably pin an introduction post.

I (b. 1969) grew up in a small southern Indiana community, where a biracial man was burned in effigy on his lawn, a Black family had bricks thrown through their window (they didn’t stay much longer), and the KKK operated a “youth” training facility…. 1/2
New— Nazis with giant swastika flags marched in downtown Indianapolis on Saturday with two police escorts. They shouted “white power” and said to the woman who took this video (reshared here with her permission) “fuck you, n***** bitch.”
Police did not intervene. I cannot find local news coverage.
