Hello, new followers! ✌️

I'm Andrew Leamon, and I've written comics like the Radiant Black #22 backup, Camera Man, Monolith, and Fourthmeal.

I nerd out for cheeseburgers, Chainsaw Man, Nintendo, karaoke, films, and music. I post pics of my dog a lot.

Books with Pictures (@bkswpicspdx.bsky.social) in Portland, Oregon is a GREAT comic shop, and its owner in @omgkatiep.bsky.social is one of the best. The shop is going through a hard time right now, and if you want to help BwP out, they opened a GoFundMe to help do just that.

If you're looking to find a copy of THE PEDESTRIAN Vol. 1 and can't, believe me, I share your frustration. The bad news is that your shop probably can't order it for you right now.

The good news is you can get it directly from me in my web shop:

AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

The AI bubble may be about to bust.

Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock.

We all need to say this very clearly:

NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH!

Expropriate their asses instead.

They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.

They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

My comics anniversary is this week, so some new writing, flatting, or editing projects would be timely!
It's Jordan Alsaqa, Comic Writer!

In addition to original works like Cooking with Monsters and Raise Hell!, I've worked on numerous IP such as Apex Legends and Borderlands. I've had credits at IDW, Comixology, and Insight Editions, and I'm open to new work!

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases)

Comic books aren't just escapist fantasy. They're sophisticated social critiques.

For months now, I've noticed when my partner and I go out to eat, we're treated with a resentment from staff like, "What do you want? Why are you here?"

It has me thinking about corporate office culture and how that's become just as unfriendly.

The tragic irony in comics right now is you have a whole generation of creators inspired by the Vertigo and Image books that ran for 60 issues and 9 volumes, only to enter an industry that can no longer support that.
It's a high time for the direct market, but non-licensed comics — i.e. creator-owned + other original comics — are going through a "wildly unpredictable" period.

In this week's feature, I talked to creators about navigating this uncertain time, what's fueling it, and how it's affecting their plans.

I don't have anything to really add to this that good folks haven't already brilliantly said.

I just want to send solidarity with my fellow indie comic writers.

It's ROUGH out there, but we will get through this. Keep fighting the good fight. ❤️
