In library finds, just read Loving, Ohio which goes hard. Good small town culty horror. The use of color is incredible and kept blowing my mind. Written by @matthewerman.bsky.social and art by @sambeckdraws.bsky.social

I don't talk about this book enough. But #LovingOhio is a beautiful MASTERPIECE of teen angst, those drifting emotions, and the cults children are FORCED into. Rereading at work. @matthewerman.bsky.social @sambeckdraws.bsky.social @darkhorse.com

Was suuuuper excited for @sambeckdraws.bsky.social . I knew I'd need a copy of the third book of "The Verse" (and signed book plates for volume 1 and 2!), and there was no way I could resist "Loving, Ohio". (Look at that cover!)
I wasn't, however, expecting to fall in love with these prints! 😍

How it feels to be making comics professionally as the industry falls apart in front of us.
The last time I wrote something was over two years ago when I wrapped writing the first draft of Heebie Jeebies, the night my son was born.
I've struggled to find work since then & to find a home for my stories but this month I start on a new original comic for Oni Press & I'm beyond excited.
