Creator-Owned Comics Day 22: Up today is THE WOODS, written by @jamesthefourth.bsky.social with art by @thewoodenking.bsky.social, colors by Josan Gonzales, and letters by @eduke.bsky.social. The only way to describe this would be a horror/sci-fi combination of Lost meets The Breakfast Club.

James Tynion IV is one of my favorite writers, and this book is so many things he's great at: complex and relatable characters, ensemble casts, and otherworldly horror. It's incredibly consistent in character, story and art across three years, a feat aided by the moving art from Dialynas and co.

I honestly think these "moderates" think "oh trans people are only x% of the population - we can throw them under the bus," which is EVIL on its face...

...but also trans people have families and friends? Who are fucking FURIOUS at loser Ds who throw their loved ones under the bus?

I wonder if I can put “Gail Simone thinks I’m cool” on my LinkedIn

If I had a nickel for every bigoted comic book writer past his prime in the 2000s did something weird and disgusting with the Blob for some reason…

You can tell Windsor-Smith has been working with this Hulk-meets-Operation Paperclip plot for a while, and it's definitely paid off. I'd recommend getting your hands on a physical copy of the prestige @fantagraphics.bsky.social packaging, this art deserves to be poured over.

Creator-Owned Comics Day 21: up today is something I'm currently reading through, MONSTERS by Barry Windsor-Smith (Weapon X, Lifedeath, Conan). Windsor-Smith is one of my favorite artists of all time, a true auteur who is given space to write and draw a devastatingly beautiful story here.

Creator-Owned Comics Day 20: up today is CANOPUS written, drawn, lettered, and colored by @davechisholmcomics.com (Spectrum, Plague House) with color flats by Dustyn Payette. This four-issue miniseries beautifully explores abandonment and memory through this fantastic sci-fi vehicle.

I have no problem judging Byrne. He’s a nativist transphobic asshole. The Claremont Run got a lot better once he wasn’t holding Chris back anymore

You can always count on John Byrne to make sure conservatives find nothing objectionable in the queer allegory comic
