The heroes rely on Oliver’s close relationship with Hal to distract Parallax enough to stop him. It’s good Green stuff. And it was fun how they did a Hard Traveling Heroes with Kyle and Connor.

Got this rad ashcan of upcoming @darkhorse.com American Caper for Patreoning my pal @chrisacomics.bsky.social. Chris is doing finishes on David “Warriors of Plasm” Lapham, from a story by GTA vets. Looks rad, and all too timely. Also got this punchy porcine pop! Patreon FTW #comicbooks #comicsky
The back cover of "American Caper" #1 graphic novel showcases a striking, chaotic illustration. A monstrous face dominates, its swirling eye hinting at madness. Surrounding it are scenes of gambling: dice, playing cards, and people engaged in a high-stakes game, some appearing distressed. The color palette is dark and moody, emphasizing the comic's theme of damaged families amidst corruption. The tagline promises a darkly humorous story. Pre-order information directs readers to local comic shops, Dark Horse Comics, and Absurd Ventures. A gritty, graphic novel panel showcases a dramatic moment. Multiple characters are engaged in a heated argument filled with profanity. The art style is dark and intense, emphasizing the violent energy of the scene. A character appears to be injured or attacked, with splatter effects suggesting a forceful impact. The word "KRASH" is prominently displayed, highlighting the climactic event. The overall mood is one of raw emotion, tension, and impending danger. A striking image showcases the cover of a graphic novel titled "Three-Headed Pigman." The cover art depicts a powerful, stylized pig character wearing a futuristic, partially mechanical suit in shades of pink and green. The pig's design blends organic and mechanical elements, creating a unique cyberpunk aesthetic. The title is bold, with a retro-futuristic font in lime green and pink, adding to the overall dynamic energy of the piece. The artist's signature is subtly included at the bottom. The book rests on a light wood surface, suggesting a relaxed yet intriguing display. A close-up shot showcases a vibrant, psychedelic comic book spread. The art style is detailed and grotesque, featuring a large, pink, bio-organic creature traversing space, consuming worlds. Speech bubbles reveal the narrative – a being devouring planets and incorporating the "heads of its highest intellectual inhabitants" into its body as a form of propulsion. The overall mood is dark, surreal, and humorous, contrasting the cosmic horror with casual dialogue. A smaller figure in the lower right corner seems to be reacting to the events.

This is my #ncbd : I got my copy (39 of 500) of the second printing of @beetlemoses.bsky.social’s sweet, funny, funky, fresh comic, “The Flyer.” I’ve loved his webcomics for a good while, so it’s awesome to get a longer story—and one I can hold in my hands! #comicsky #comicbooks #newcomicbookday
A close-up shows a hand holding a vibrant comic book. The cover features a striking illustration of a cartoon creature with bat-like ears, dark fur, and bright red eyes. It's dressed in a green top and black pants and holds a piece of paper. Beside it is a smaller, similarly stylized green creature. The background is a dynamic swirl of red, white, and blue stripes, creating a bold and energetic visual. The overall style is reminiscent of graphic novels and independent comics, giving a sense of quirky and artistic energy. This image shows a two-page spread from a comic book. The style is reminiscent of cartoons, with bold outlines and bright colors. The panels depict a bizarre scene: a large, brown, furry monster with purple hands holds up a lineup-style photo of several faces, seemingly examining them. Another panel shows a smaller creature emerging from the ground, emitting a green mist. In the background of multiple panels, a bright blue sky and a city street are visible. Surrounding characters seem surprised or disturbed. The overall mood is playful yet slightly unsettling, capturing a bizarre comedic moment. A person on a bus holds open a small, square book. The left-hand page features a striking illustration of a pink and purple nebula swirling against a dark space backdrop, speckled with white stars. The right page is black with a minimalist white line drawing of a stylized hiker carrying a large backpack and holding a long staff. The contrast between the cosmic scene and the simple figure creates a captivating juxtaposition. The overall aesthetic suggests adventure and exploration. A hand holds a vibrant red booklet, the second edition of "Beetle Nooses," printed in 2025. Numbered 39 of 500, it features an illustration of a charming ladybug playing a trumpet, set against a whimsical white speech bubble. The author's signature adds a personal touch. The image evokes a feeling of excitement and perhaps collecting a limited edition item.

Really enjoyed #fantasticfour! So satisfying seeing a proper Galactus. Great performances all around. Very fun with solid emotional stakes. Sorta superhero movies in the old mold but without wasting time on origins. With this and #superman, I’m enjoying the return to optimism! #comicsky #comicbooks

Thanks for the tip! Love the club!
Enthusiastically displayed outside Comix Experience, a man with a joyful grin and salt-and-pepper beard showcases "The Pedestrian" graphic novel. The cover's striking design depicts a person in a light green suit suspended upside down amidst a vibrant cityscape. The store's signage is partially visible, adding to the context of a comic book lover sharing his latest find. The overall mood is one of happy discovery and excitement about the new comic. A close-up shows a hand holding a limited edition (#27 of 250) signed Magma Comix print. The black and white artwork depicts a stylized figure seemingly entangled within traffic signs including "Yield," "One Way," and "School Crossing," adding a dynamic and slightly chaotic feel. Green highlights accentuate the lines. The artist's signature is prominently displayed, adding an element of authenticity and collectible value. The print rests on a wooden table alongside blurry glasses of amber liquid, possibly beer, suggesting a relaxed, casual environment.

Ant-Man is my favorite too. I love his first adventures and how they would show diagrams of his secret HQ and how his equipment worked. I first encountered Hank Pym in West Coast Avengers, which has to be his most boring look.

@oscarromeo68.bsky.social just wrapped up the art for issue #3 of Tome, our miniseries about the uncanny origins of the first book in human history. It’s a magical adventure comedy in the spirit of John Carpenter. You can follow our work at www.facebook.com/TomeBookofPo.... #comicbooks #comicsky
This watercolor graphic novel illustration shows a poignant scene of grief. In the bottom panel, a man with patterned tattoos on his arms sits with his hands clasped, head bowed in sorrow. Above, he holds the body of a person with similar tattoos, suggesting a close relationship. Earlier panels depict a person falling into a swirling, blue portal and a man reacting to the event, hinting at an accident and a loss connected to a supernatural element. The muted color palette enhances the somber mood.

Thank you for drawing him with briefs! I don’t like his current look, which just makes it seem like he isn’t wearing pants…

I love a good dollar bin find! That’s where I picked up the first 10 issues of this crazy space sword-and-sorcery book that was originally a stage play. Super weird! I love the letters pages the most!

I loved the art, which included Mark Texeira, who also illustrated the old He-Man minicomics in the early ‘80s. They did a cool glow in the dark cover too. And that’s Johnny Blaze with his shotgun!

Robbie is great! Love that he drives a car. Ketch was in that ‘90s class of new heroes taking on the mantle of established heroes, like Kyle Rayner as Green Lantern.

Oh snap—there he is! And it looks like the creative team from the early ‘90s reboot of Ghost Rider, which is when I started collecting. Very cool! I remember reading like a Wikipedia page about Ghost Rider and the various Spirits and kings of Hell and my head was spinning!

There was a fairly recent Ghost Rider story where Danny Ketch became this Spirit of Corruption. So many Spirits!

#Bugwars gives me the shrunken fish-out-of-water adventure fix I’ve been craving since honey shrunk the kids. Like Tales to Astonish meets Conan the Barbarian meets those Playboys stashed in the woods! Thank you, @jason-aaron.bsky.social and @mahmudasrar.bsky.social #comicbooks #comicsky
