I am so looking forward to my next appearance (and my only one in Europe this year) at HEROES COMIC CON BELGIUM, October 19-20 at Brussels Expo! If you care to pre-order a commission for me to do at the show, please go here:

There’s a comment that “surely criticism is a good thing.” You know what? Water is good for you, too. *Drowning* is not. Informed criticism from select, trusted sources is good. It doesn’t mean we have to sit still for every hot take from online randos. That’s not useful.

Generative AI is the solution to a "problem" that doesn't exist. The only people who want generative AI are the people who can't be bothered to learn to be creatives, and the people who can't be bothered to pay creatives. That's it.

What's even crazier to me about these set pics of

"Alan Moore's Watchmen"... as if Dave Gibbons were merely an appendage to the creation of someone else. I'm gonna bang this drum 'til I die, apparently: Media journos *need to stop doing this*. In comics, writers AND ARTISTS *co-create the narrative*. Get it through your heads!

This is such a blind, ridiculous thing to say. I'll be blunt: It's never been "hard being a Christian in America." It's, in fact, the easiest thing to be in America, and the proof is in the very first paragraph of this idiotorial.

I gotta say it's still a bizarre feeling to go from visualing this design in 2005 to seeing it on a movie poster in 2023. Not my first go-round with a feature-film adaptation, obviously, but this is a much more direct one visually than RED was...

At some point we're going to have to call this what it is: a rogue court, a full third of which is completely illegitimate.
The Supreme Court curbs the federal government’s ability to fight climate change. The decision is one of the most consequential cases for climate change and clean air in decades.

These guys are all so quick to wrongly tag someone without checking their facts. But when it's time to (non) apologize for it? They don't tag you in that. They actually hope you don't see it at all. Really, really weak, man.
The Inverse tweet made it seem as if someone named Cully Hamner was the author of this article. Others made the same assumption. He wasn't. So the lies and bigotry driving this article shouldn't have been attributed to him but to its author. Apologies.

George Perez, one of the GOATs of our craft, rest in peace and power. It’s gratifying, at least, that he got to hear how all of us felt about him while he was still here.
He was a Titan.

Ask any working comic book creator and they will tell you: Comics are not merely writing with illustrations added, but rather a symbiosis of the two. They work together to create the visual narrative that you're reading. I'm sure someone on this app will... /1

By now the news about the passing of my old Gaijin studiomate Jason Pearson is out. To say he was a singular talent is, at best, an understatement. He always stood out as that, from the first time we met at the start of the ‘90s, to the 7 years we spent as studiomates, to now. /1

PRO-TIP ( and I know I've said it before but it bears repeating periodically): Generally, a comics page can bear the weight of 2 of these 3 things: A lot of panels; a lot of text; and a lot happening. You will nearly always have to sacrifice one for the other two. /1

This is just heartbreaking. Aside from being a major influence on me as a budding artist and a huge New Teen Titans fan, as an adult I’m fortunate to know what a wonderful man he is. We all know it. And I hope he knows how much everyone loves him.
Wishing peace to you, George.
Comic book legend George Perez has announced through his FB page that he has Stage 3 pancreatic cancer and has six months to live.
You cannot begin to describe the impact this man had as an artist for DC and Marvel and who by all accounts is an incredibly nice guy too.

A personal rule I've tried to follow in my career, esp. since the advent of social media, is to refrain from public criticism of anyone else's work in comics. I don't know anyone who isn't trying to make the best comics they possibly can, and this biz is hard enough, you know?

The final cover- drawn for Marvel and in no way "Ringo's last cover"- as it saw print. Any image Mike S. Miller is touting as such is a fraud that he repurposed and redrew from rooting through the garbage of my friend who is no longer with us.
