“The Last Galactus Story” (1984) centers the perspective of the devourer & his faithful herald Nova. Writer/artist John Bryne uses a variety of visual techniques to represent the unrepresentable: inhuman beings interacting with the cosmic sublime. 1/12 #FantasticFour #Galactus

I love Superman and I love the Superman statue now proudly displayed in downtown Cleveland. I must say, though, I’m most proud of helping make this sculpture a reality as part of the Plaza. None of us would be doing of any of this without Jerry, Joe and Joanne. Welcome back home, friends! #Superman

Clevelander here, and it’s so nice to finally see this fucking city embrace being the birthplace of Superman. The excitement is palpable.
But this would not have happened without @valentinolzullo.bsky.social and @jamesgunn.bsky.social who are on wildly different paths of Supes fandom

Looking for a comics-focused read for #Pride? Sequential Scholars has put together a thoughtful thread on my 2017 article in *Inks* about asexual representation in visual narratives and canonical orientations in #comics. Give it a look!
In his article “Asexuality & Its Discontents,” Nicholas E. Miller (@uncannydazzler.bsky.social) discusses a 2015 series starring #Archie’s best pal, Jughead Jones. Artistically and culturally, Miller argues the portrayal of #Jughead as asexual is both important & complicated. 1/14 #PrideMonth
