Here to have fun. Comics, wrestling, comedy, sports, craft beer, the occassional slip on a banana peel so I can laugh at myself. You know, fun stuff.
MLW x Don Gato live in Charleston, SC. This is going to be fun!

Well, Planet She-Hulk #1 is badass. To borrow from @wordballoon.bsky.social, the Lawyer Warrior is watching over Sakaar while Hulk is away. The book looks amazing and I am all-in with the story.

We wanted Orton vs. Aldis and we didn't get it. I'd be down to see Aldis vs. McIntyre. What will it take for WWE to let Aldis lace up his boots?

I just finished Outlaw Showdown #1 and I loved this Western themed EC book. 4 different creative teams each do 10–page stories plus the issue also reprints a classic EC story. I am always glad to see a western this good on the shelves.

Krypto: The Last Dog of Krypton has so much heart poured into it. @ryannorth.ca and Mike Norton were the perfect team to spear this. Norton gives Krypto tons of personality and North floods the story with emotion. It will devestate you at times and it will have you melting with joy at others.

Everything about Morgana Pendragon #1 is quality. The story is smart, the cast interesting and the artwork is fantastic. If you enjoy Arthurian lore or fantasy, look out for the next Kickstarter campaign.

The Adventures of Lumen N #1 is fantastic. Captain Nemo and his granddaughter, Lumen, battle mysterious invaders that have stormed Lumen's manor. The art is superb.

Something from a current on-going series. Madibek Musabekov is currently doing the pencils on Star Wars: Jedi Knights. This dude seems to level-up every year.

Gotham City Sirens: Unfit for Orbit is a wildly good time. A bonkers story with high-energy art. If you are looking for something fun to read, grab this series.

I loved Solomon Kane: The Serpent Ring. Jaw-dropping art, gripping story, intense action, great characters. Thank you @patrickzircher.bsky.social and @comicstitan.bsky.social . I want more, please.

I picked up Trilogy Tour II 1998 at the Sirius Ent. table during Heroes Con. I bought it for the Linda Medley Castle Waiting story, but each creator contributed an original 8-page story all of which are excellent introductions to their creator-owned material. Massive recommendation for this book.

This. Go see this. Why aren't you watching Superman right now?

I just finished We Call Them Myths #1,2. This series is wonderful. INC agents Stone and Roboter investigate cryptid cases in order to keep these creatures existences a secret.

I showed up fashionably late to the party, but I am damn glad I came. Read Mugshots. An excellent crime story, an excellent comic.

Here is a Mister Miracle that @awyeahfranco.bsky.social did in my sketchbook at HeroesCon. I saw a Mister Miracle in his pen-sketch book and had to ask for a commission. I got some other drawings from Franco at HeroesCon and will try and post them this weekend.

This is a HeroesCon pre-show commission drawn by @gavinguidry.bsky.social. I have wanted a mirrored Robin/Nightwing piece for a long time and couldn't be happier with how this turned out!

I am a sucker for band covers. @skylorenx.bsky.social was at Dan Jurgen's table (appologies for stealing Skylar for a bit, Mr. Jurgens). I asked if this cover was still available and Skylar actually brought some to HeroesCon. This cover is so much fun

This is a sketch cover for the book Amaranth drawn by Noah Bailey and written by Jordan Silva that I picked up at HeroesCon. There were only 50 of these printed and Noah draws a unique cover for each copy. Get this while you can.

I picked up this Roronoa Zoro headshot from @creeesart.bsky.social at HeroesCon. I love how the pink outline accents the greens in the shirt and hair. Creees also had pages from Invincible Iron Man #15 that I liked, but wasn't able to pick up.

Another piece I picked up from @wadevongrawbadger.bsky.social at HeroesCon. I have wanted this piece since I saw the process video Wade did last year. The textures in this are UNREAL! A cool effect of the wax is that it almost adds a sheen to the metal if i look at it from different angles.
June 25, 2025 at 5:37 PM
@stegelin.bsky.social always exceeds my expectations with his commissions. I asked Steve for "Shaggy and Scooby meet Casper" at HeroesCon. Adding Richie Rich to the piece was totally Steve's idea and it changed everything for the better.

John Burgin did this awesome piece of The Perhapanauts for me at HeroesCon. I am a big fan of The Perhapanauts by @craigrousseau.bsky.social and Todd Dezago. You can see more of John Burgin's work in his series Frogboy.
