Highly recommend getting Lane on your project while he's free. He did some great work on our Worrywart book and was a dream to deal with throughout.

Watched Predator: Badlands. Decent action movie, lots of cool fighting and fun character moments for our Predatorial hero.
Prey was probably better, but I respect this series committing to making Predation-adjacent stories without trying to create a Predatory Universe (yet).

Ah, Rats by @scarygorgon.bsky.social was both v good and surprisingly aspirational. Real taste of the forest floor. You'll believe a rat can try.

I'll be at Thought Bubble next weekend, like so many others!
Find me at Bubbleboy hall table F14, armed with my many comics and enjoying the Bubbleboy experience of being part of a little island of tables rather than a big row.

Got my copy of Ice Cream Man: Mortal Coil Shuffle and as ever with ICM, a smart, clever, whimsical way of delivering a very grim story. I winced at the inevitability of sad fate.
Will live forever in fear of dropping the deck and having to put it back in order.

Reading and really enjoying Eight Billion Genies by Charles Soule & Ryan Browne. Some of the most rigorous high concept work I've seen in comics, or possibly anywhere.
Absolutely smashing that world against its own logical endpoint, while giving Browne loads of big fun stuff to draw.

Watched A House of Dynamite, having read Nuclear War: A Scenario not that long ago.
The book is probably better for interesting detail, but the film is also atmospheric (if a bit frustrating). If you've got time and you want that feeling of pre-apocalyptic dread in your life, recommend doing both.

Five years since And It Snowed, my first Kickstarter comic with art by Robert Ahmad and letters by @dchopkins.bsky.social, in which two siblings steal from Jack Frost and regret it.
Tense fantasy-crime, with shadowy black and white art by Robert.

Reading the Lucifer run by Dan Watters and Max & Sebastian Fiumara, giving me a good classic Vertigo magical-thinking vibe without feeling like a tribute act. And the art is just fantastic. High recommendation.

Lovely time earlier at Goblin Market yesterday, thanks to the organisers, my fellow tablers (especially my neighbours), everyone who came to say hello and anyone else too.
Good fun, the kind of fun bustling-but-not-overwhelming show I'd love to do more of. Woo.

Got my table at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social, and I'm in Bubbleboy hall for the first time, at table F14 near a bunch of other good @wipcomics.bsky.social folk.
Which means I've now tabled in every hall! Do I win a prize?

The Taylor album is mostly alright (if lyrically cringeworthy at times), but also - Ash's new record Ad Astra is good fun.
Shame they've not committed more to the cosmic/space concept, but it's a strong collection of Ash songs to tap my feet and feel warm nostalgia to.
