Comics are the perfect medium to share your story.
I've shared my stories with comics, and it took me from my mom's basement to drawing and writing for Apple in Silicon Valley.
You, too, can have fun telling your stories.
Start here for free:
the last episode of Watchmen was the best tv episode of the decade. i can’t believe one episode was able to summarize the black man struggle in America. no white ally will ever understand us. all we have is anger and the will to survive.

I think people are over thinking the size of these books. Manga has been doing this for decades. A creator doesn't need to rethink how they are going to write their story based of a size format. At the end of the day the artist is still going to draw on the same 11 x 17 paper.

This movie was actually good. They should've waited a bit to drop after Endgame. Do I want a sequel not really. But I do want a ending to therae character stories. I believe there are some good characters here.
@StarlessMistake
I feel like this show should've been released all at once. I wouldn't have noticed this if someone hadn't pointed it out because, at that moment, I had no connections to the characters and their ambitions.

This man never changes his tune. Because the song he's singing is the song of the people.
Everyone wants to say it's complicated, but it always comes back to this answer right here.
Thank you, Bernie.

Love this quote:
"Greatness comes from character, and character isn’t formed out of smart people: it's formed out of people who have suffered.”
I've noticed those who don't succeed never have any real challenges in their life. When they do, they instantly give up.

Another great read of 2023 that I got from

:
THE JUSTICE OF KINGS

.
I read one page and instantly bought it. I’ve never read a book so fast.
The Empire of the Wolf is hands down my favorite fantasy series to date.
Can’t wait for book 3.

I've never had that badge on my profile, and recruiters have hit me up constantly. You can make recruiters know you're available to work without displaying the badge.
@Orbitaldropkick
I've been thinking about this comic a lot lately. It's incredible how you've been going so long.
What advice would you give to someone looking to jump into making webcomics?
Saturday Day at L.A. Comic-Con was a success.
Helped my friend sell some amazing books.
Got to meet and support writers and cartoonists who I admire.
I am stoked for the last day to meet and interact with more amazing folks.

Your posts keep popping up on my For You Feed, and I'm loving it. It's incredible to experience someone watching Game of Thrones for the first time. I'm going to have to do a rewatch.
Here are my 2 favorite comic book series for 2023:
• Black Cloak
• Damn Them All
I had no prior knowledge of these books. I bought both on a whim because of the covers. Both exceeded my expectations.
Takeaway:
Tell the stories you want read.
And the fans will come.
As a creative professional, I've learned that you need these 5 key things in order to succeed in your projects.
• A deadline.
• A strong idea.
• Consistency.
• A finished product.
• And the ability to sell.
Apply and watch your dreams become reality.
Illborn is one of my favorite reads of the year. And now one of my favorite fantasy books ever.
Shout-out to
@LibraryOfAViki1
for the recommendation.
This books has given me some gems that I will apply to my comic book writing.
What’s your favorite read of the year?
Today I turn 35.
I'm happy to have come this far.
Started the day playing basketball.
Having chilaquiles for breakfast.
Will write some essays, read and draw some comics, and end the day with Halo Infinite and dinner at my fav restaurant.
What a time to alive.
Amor Fati.
Deadpool vs Old Man Logan
Writer: Declan Shalvey
Artist: Mike Henderson
Two heroes who can continuously heal just fighting & no holding back.
This is basically the premise of the movie. No Disney nonsense. No timeline (technically), or multiverse (technically) B.S.
Just fun
This single page from Ain't No Grave by
@skottieyoung
and
@jecorona
is brilliant storytelling.
They blended a full portrait into the background and lead your eye from the top of the page to the end.
On one page, you feel as if you have traveled across a desert.
I love drawing comics.
But most of my inspiration comes from manga.
My current inspirations:
Akira
Kaiju no. 8
Fire Punch
Death Note
Seven Deadly Sins
Where do you find inspirations for your projects?
For the night crowd...check out my comic Binary Sea, featuring great art from

Plus, you'll get those digital editions right when the campaign wraps up because the issue is already finished!

So many Black people feel this way. And it’s amazing to hear him speak his truth. Reminding us this wasn't that long ago. And even though they stood for our rights heat shit wasn't no walk in the park.
Meet Bass-Slap.
The main villain in my comic Boom Kid. I love drawing this guy.
He's inspired by many of my favorite rappers. His story arc is one that I am excited to share.
@WednesdayPull
I wonder if that's why they pointed out the no mustache in the trailer, haha.
Also, his being Red Hulk made no sense. I've reread that Storyline, and I'm like, "How Sway?" lol.
in the five years since I left my home back in NYC I’ve learned one major thing. you don’t create your narrative, the city tells you truthfully, honestly, brutality who you really are. it doesn’t give a shit who you think you are. i love and miss it. can’t wait to be back.
@readswithravi
What I love about this quote is that a boxer who is considered the greatest of all time admits to hating training.
I think many people think people who are great in their crafts love it every single day. There are days when it’s tough.
But think of the long-term gains.
