I have not done my due diligence and read much #LoveAndRockets, but when I saw this at my #LCBS I had to pick it up.

Gotta build my love for Los Hernandez Brothers.

Well #comicbook people, I have now officially read every single issue that the (now relatively) new #DCComics Absolute initiative has to offer (as of 03/24/25) and I gotta say that we’re off to an excellent start. The work of @kellythompson.bsky.social and Hayden Sherman on WW has to be my favorite.

Another addition to the physical media collection: Evil Dead Rise on 4K steelbook

I’m a massive #EvilDead fan and this was such a fun, modern installment to the franchise. A mix of the serious terror of the 2013 reboot and the quirkiness of the original films, Rise is such an incredible watch.

Been a hot minute since I’ve posted on the butterfly app, but just picked up #Nosferatu on 4K today.

I have no idea where the time went. It doesn’t feel like it’s been 2 months since this hit theaters. Incredibly interested in the extended cut.

It has taken me way too long to finally get around to #Somna by @beckycloonan.bsky.social and @tulalotay.bsky.social, but holy shit, it is an incredible read. Such an incredible balance of intense, erotic drama mixed in heavily with the supernatural.

I absolutely recommend giving this a read.

My dear friend, Mike McFarland, went in this week with what he assumed was an inner ear infection and turned out to be a massive brain tumor. After undergoing successful emergency surgery, he is recovering with friends, but still very much in need of support. gofund.me/075d80b0

No need to ban books when nobody can afford to make them anymore
But of COURSE Trump's tariffs will clobber the comics biz.

Pretty much all GNs and Collections are printed in China, and have been for many years. US printers moved their factories over there. There are few presses left on US soil.

Huge backlogs, big price spike on books.

We're screwed.
What will potential tariffs mean for comics publishers in 2025? 'We'll likely have less customers' - The Comics Journal
Gina Gagliano talked to a host of comics publishers to get a sense of what the potential effects of increased tariffs from the new Trump administration could be.

As more friends of mine approach me about their eagerness to delve into the medium of comics, I actively tell them: “There’s more to comics than just superheroes.”

Hell, some of my favorite comics of all-time are ‘Saga’ and ‘Preacher.’ Comics has something for everyone.
The idea that people need to be super to be interesting in comics is a purely capeshit type opinion and I swear to god comics discussion in general would be greatly improved if people took more time to read some indie comics and I’ve got some great ones to recommend

Thank God McFarlane Toys is finally dabbling in creating Multiverse figures for the #NewGods. This Orion figure is a work of art. I really hope this is the first of many. Still need that Darkseid.

This reminds me that I need go to my reading pile and start on the @therightram.bsky.social NG run.

Finally caught up on Absolute #WonderWoman over at #DCComics. This has to be my favorite one of my favorite books currently.

@kellysue.bsky.social has put such a beautiful spin on the Wonder Woman mythos and the art duo of @cleanlined.bsky.social and Jordie Bellaire are providing the best visuals.

Been a hot minute since I’ve posted on here. Showing one of my latest grabs in the past week: Crisis on Infinite Earths – No. 7

I’m slowly piecing together the entire event. I’m already a little more halfway there with 7 out of the 12 issues.

Reorganizing my stuff and came across one of my favorite pieces of my collection: my CGC graded 4.0 copy of the Demon No. 1 from Jack “The King” Kirby himself. This was an issue that I purchased and sent off to get graded myself, the first time I’ve done that. Not the most significant, but a fave.

Mezco knocked it completely out of the park with their 5 Points releases for Batman: The Animated Series.

These figures are beautiful.

It is #NewComicBookDay, people of Blue Sky. Showing off my pick-ups for the day. Anyone pick up the same books? Anything different? Do tell!

Nothing says Wednesday like sitting at work and saying, “Oh fuck. It’s new comic book day. What the fuck comes out today?” Then checking on Lunar and Previews.

Anywho, I took advantage of being on a trip to pick up on some books I either fell behind in or like AbBat, my LCBS sold out of.

Well… I don’t know what to make as my first official post on Blue Sky. How about a picture of the copy of TMNT No. 8 I got at a con a couple weeks ago?

I still insist that have a few hours of deliberation with myself, the spirit of Brad of @cbccpodcast.bsky.social compelled me to buy it.
