Hi, comic fans.
I'm a comic artist. I’ve been automatically getting poor as Japanese yen is dramatically getting weak. What’s the hell.
Read this. Make an anime from this. Make money for me. Thank you.

We are sure that @dialhforhagai.bsky.social is one of the best critics in the game right now, and we are honored to publish pretty much anything he writes.

Even when he forgets to directly quote from Society of the Spectacle.

Even if we have to share him with TCJ.

Thread of all my reviews/essays on comics this year
Last year’s WELCOME TO CASA BABA anthology from kuš! is just about the ideal anthology: its three constituent pieces are perfectly cohesive yet never repetitive, with concerns that build organically and quite charmingly. My latest review, for TCJ:

A thing wot I have been noticing more and more lately...

Emerging comics creators *please* make sure you have e-mail contact details available online somewhere. Because you never know when someone (i.e. me) might be wanting to chat with you about something very much to your advantage.

The critical machine that is SOLRAD did a fine job of humming down the information superhighway, fueled by spectacular bangers, drawing attention to beautiful comics, amazing artists, and the kind of critical and insightful writing that you don't find too often on the internet nowadays.
