Today I was laid off from Dark Horse Comics. While devastating news, I'm so proud of what I helped make there and am grateful to have worked alongside such amazing coworkers and creators.
I'm not quitting comics yet, so if you or someone you know needs a savvy editor please reach out.

Let's make some awesome stuff together!

Some BETTER LETTERER for you. And before the inevitable "that's not how I do it" replies, keep in mind that, by and large, this is how it's done in pro American comics (Marvel, DC, etc.) I've worked for all of them. More tips: blambot.com/pages/letter...

Mid 20s roommates and I just started watching Brothers. I had to ask them if they were aware of the movie Twins. Ya know, the movie staring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito. They didn't. That led to a history lesson on the time Arnie was a pregnant man:

Glad to see Polygon cover the resistance of game developers to generative AI--and to be able to speak briefly to one of the greatest dangers of this entire thing.
Gen AI doubles down on making MORE SPACE for production issues that *already make games worse.*

I want to work for a publisher that puts its creators first, treats their employees with respect and compensates them fairly, and is willing to hear out new ideas and try new things.
If you are one of those publishers or work at one that is serious about making great comics, hit me up. I'm ready.

Like yes, Wolff's response is crazy. But to me, that part is Epstein passively admitting to Wolff that (he believed) Trump would say whatever he wanted him too.

“You can hang him in a way that generates a benefit for you… or save him, generating a debt.”

Re: Heads up
Importance: High
I think you should let him hang himself. If he says he hasn't been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency. You can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt. Of course, it is possible that, when asked, he'll say Jeffrey is a great guy and has gotten a raw deal and is a victim of political correctness, which is to be outlawed in a Trump regime.

This is one of my favorite things I’ve ever written, hope you check it out.
If you like folk horror comics check out Double Walker (2021) by @michaelwconrad.bsky.social and Noah Bailey. This is a Scottish Highlands themed traditional folk horror story. Very dark and to the bone. I read this a couple of years ago and like to go back and visit it on a cold Autumn evening

I've yet to hear a good argument for it by the way.
Like... how is it that these publishers can afford to rent the office space but not afford to pay their workers a livable wage?
Shifting to remote would save them soooo much money?
Or even moving the office to a more affordable area.

Publishing (as an industry) needs to be decentralized from NYC.
Sincerely, what is the argument for keeping so much of the labor force "in office" three days a week in one of the most expensive cities on the planet? While Publishers continue to pay editors, designers, etc monstrously low wages...

People are afraid to talk about this, and I understand why. Retaliation. Social stigma. Shame.
But publishing employees deserve so much better y'all. You've got no idea how low their compensation is, especially compared to the profits they generate.
Afraid to comment? DM me, let's talk about pay
