“I don’t know how long I can stand, but I will stand and speak up.” - Sen. Cory Booker

Obviously the only solution is to read STRING, a Wine Down Your Weekend pick! Beautiful colors, fantastic (and instant) character development, and enough twists and turns to keep you turning the pages in anticipation!

I understand that compared to everywhere else it’s not cold here, but I’m still going to curl up and read awesome books to keep from shivering. Anyway, read #godzillasmonsterpiecetheatre from Tom Scioli and @idwpublishing it’s fantastic!!

Not everyone can run or sit on a board.

Good thing there are literally dozens of other proactive means of defending libraries and schools!

So happy!! Volume 13 of #witchhatatelier is out today!! #manga

I've know @davidbooher.bsky.social longer than anyone in comics--we were in college choral together. Never thought we'd both end up in L.A. writing comic books.

David lost his home and everything in it, right before he has surgery. You can help support here: www.gofundme.com/f/recovery-f...

Have you checked out Comic Industry Insiders podcast from @pranadms.bsky.social
It’s a great way to hear what people in our industry are up to and learn new tricks and tips! Here’s our episode: youtu.be/463lxtI_aRk?... where we talk about being a non-profit and how comics can make a difference!

Did you know every Sunday night at 9PM EST I talk about all of that week’s indie/small press new releases live on Bat City’s Facebook page? You can also catch it later on YouTube: youtu.be/MKo-q3j2fbo?...
I read them all so the booktalk tells you what it’s about, comp titles, and shows off the art!

I never got a chance to meet my mother-in-law, but she still serves as an inspiration to me. And I am beyond grateful for the man she raised. ❤️

With a surge of new people following me on BlueSky, I want to make sure you know about the new creator resources I have on my site.

Want to hear a little about how and why I use comics to educate young people? Check out my TEDx talk: youtu.be/InDa4t6ikHA?...
There’s so much more to this conversation! I’m always here to discuss more with educators and comic people alike.

I love this shot of our store but I dont think weve ever posted it anywhere before…Bluesky exclusive!

Had a Fall festival and chili cook-off at our store today, and the absolute best moment was a teen girl reading the graphic novel she bought to her mom. #kidsreadcomics
