Everything I love about Stark/Westlake’s PARKER Books captured in two lines
"Why don't you fight like a man!" Parker shot him in the back of the head.

A blonde gradeschool-aged girl sits on a school bench. She’s covered in a red substance, but seems unbothered by it.

If you’ve talked to Dee or I in the last few years, we’ve probably brought this book up. We’re so proud to be finally showing it to the world, and are offering an ultra-low price to get as many readers to jump on as possible.

Check out the Teaser Trailer below!

Finally back on here!

Hey, everyone! I’m Ryan and I write Comics.

More importantly, I have a new Comic releasing right now on patreon, titled THE SPIES DOWN THE STEET!

Think TRUE LIES Meets KILL BILL, or JAMES BOND Meets INVINCIBLE
Comic Cover: THE SPIES DOWN THE STREET. The logo creates window shade-like lines across the pages, slightly covering a married couple that is enjoying cooking a barbeque. Except the burger the redheaded wife holds is full of bullets, and the food on the grill that the graying husband flips are grenades. Names at the bottom: O’CONNELL, NOONAN, RANSON, JONES, GAMBRO

Sometimes a cover drops that reminds you that, despite the comparatively low wages and quick turnaround, comic creators still make some of the most beautiful art ever created by human hands.

It’s all I can think about
Heidi Klum, dressed as a peacock’s body, with multiple costumed people as her feathers. Next to her is her husband, dressed as an egg. He is completely white, with his face and arms peeking out but not his legs.

Playstation Spider-Man 2 had a lot of impactful moments, but the one that stuck with me didn’t happen during the game. It was seeing Steve Ditko & Stan Lee’s names relegated to a “Special Thanks” section in the credits, right next to The Walt Disney Consumer Products Team.
Screenshot of a vertical text scroll of credits. The names listed are: SOFIA FINAMORE STAN LEE STEPHANIE GORE STEVE DITKO SUSAN FIELDS SUSAN FRIDAY SVEN LARSEN THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY REGIONAL TEAMS THE WALT DISNEY CONSUMER PRODUCTS TEAM TIM CHENG TIM DILLON TIM PENNOYER TINA GOSS TODD MCFARLANE TOM DEFALCO TRENT BIELEN VIT DEBELLIS VITORIA LEE WEIYI XU YUK NG YURY VEYNBLAT

Trying to follow the positive bluesky attitude and talk more about stuff I like.

So i’ll just say RARE FLAVOURS is wickedly good.
The cover to Rare Flavours #1, drawn by Filipe Andrade. On it, a Large Man wearing a hat and tiny glasses grins at the reader. He smokes a cigar while holding a glass speckled with blood.
