I see people still conflate following an account with agreeing with everything that account says.
But, hey, it’s social media and people love being mad at something. (And Bluesky is no better than X at that….)

Every time a different Marvel comics character appears in a tv show or movie, another comics creator gets to write an open letter admitting (in not so many words) that the Robert Kirkman Manifesto was right — 17 years ago.

Watercolor painters always impress me. I have no idea how this guy sees the painting until it’s almost finished. The whole thing looks like an utter mess before it all comes together.

It is established in « Asterix the Gaul » that lobster is one of the ingredients in the magic potion. Thank goodness Asterix’s village is so close to the ocean!
Strawberries are not a part of the Magic Potion recipe, but they are a plot point in the same album. I shall spoil you no further.

Once again, lots of people are proving they don’t actually listen to Rob Liefeld’s podcast while attacking it while missing the point. I seriously saw someone laugh at the thought that Liefeld would produce new Youngblood material — a week after he published new Youngblood material.

Netflix’s Asterix series due out in April is based on the seventh album in the series, “The Big Fight,” which is included in Papercutz’s Omnibus v3. Guess which Asterix Omnibus is currently unavailable on Comixology?
