@fanexpoboston.bsky.social --there are only 7 copies left of @margueritesauvage.bsky.social beautiful, full-foil cover for Universal Champion #1. Swing by AP24 (the end of the 300 aisle), grab a copy, and read the issue 3 months before anyone else.
Flying solo for @fanexpoboston.bsky.social this weekend, so we've expanded the set-up! Freebies and ash cans get to breathe. @margueritesauvage.bsky.social's beautiful foil cover is too shiny to shoot head-on. And the variants are out of the basement and onto the table. Hangin all week at AP24
For @fanexpoboston.bsky.social, we're bringing something special—A sneak preview of Universal Champion #1 with a full foil cover by the fantastic @margueritesauvage.bsky.social. We only made 25 of these, and it'll be available at table AP24. Excited to debut the book and show off Marguerite's art!
Looks like we both had VIP weeks :) Wrestling rules. Hope y'all had a great time!
Your attention please! Big-ass cliché-lookin' rainbow alert!
I LOVE this book. It's a bar I have in mind when I write, especially comedy. It's a top, "Have you read..." recommendation. SO GLAD it's collected and can't wait to re-read it. And thank you, @stevelieberart.bsky.social, for the copy and the sketch! Congrats! Get a copy—Buy it from Steve directly.
Added a new page to my small collection. Wonder Woman, issue 4, page 4, by @sampereart.bsky.social. In the story, WW is an enemy of the state and people. The world is against her. Even with all that, she visits a sick kid—because that's what she does! Look at that smile! That's the heart of Diana!
The magic of comics—that makes it all worth it—is the days when out of nowhere, new art hits your email. This panel marks @nandopintoart.bsky.social's completion of the Universal Champion series. It might not seem like much, but in context, this moment is everything, and Fernando nailed it!
Oh! And I'll be spending the day at my local comic shop, Zenith Comics in Malden, MA!
Arrived just in time for Free Comic Book Day: the QUARTER LIFE ash can by me, art by @robotjq.bsky.social, and letters by the Bluesky-less Justin Birch. It's a little taste of what's to come, and I'm psyched I get to start showing off Bob and Justin's work.
Friend, when I tell you the nerves I had sending the email to @nandopintoart.bsky.social saying, "I have this idea. How do you feel about a six...six...sixteen panel page?" His response, "Sounds cool!" Then he creates this! This is the emotional-turn moment for our hero, and Fernando nailed it!
I shared the ash can for the book @robotjq.bsky.social, Justin Birch, and I are working on with my newsletter this morning. If you see this, you can check it out too! Join us at the arcade, and meet Cass. We think you're gonna love her. georgeoconnor.substack.com/publish/post...
@themightylayman.bsky.social -- Your boy made it safely to his new forever home. Thank you!
Gaze upon the greatness of @nandopintoart.bsky.social (art) and @jpjordan.bsky.social (colors...or "colours", as he says in his native tongue. Hope I pronounced that right) Two incredibly talented artists elevating every page they touch. From a comic coming to you soon!
Here's hoping 2026 looks at you the way Logan (good boy) and Henry (good boi) look at each other.
This is the first year my son did his own Xmas shopping, and he showed wonderful thoughtfulness and taste on all his gifts. For me, he picked this Lego set in honor of the comic @robotjq.bsky.social & I are making about an arcade. HE'S A GOOD BOY!!!
Just received @jimmypalmiotti.bsky.social and team's latest Kickstarter book, DEEP SEA. I gotta say, this little personalization on the mailer is a nice touch. Remember, you don't need to do much to make someone else feel appreciated. Another well-run campaign by the Paperfilms crew.
My job was to make the brownies, and friend, I f'n nailed it. I don't have a ton of kitchen skills, but I make mean brownies, grilled cheeses, and Belgian waffles. Basically, I'm the guy you wanna get snowed in with.
@robotjq.bsky.social's Bobcast is off to a fluffy start! Join in fun at www.twitch.tv/RobotJQ
Ooh lemme tell ya, @jpjordan.bsky.social is doing amazing, vibrant, and fun work on this comic! Pure joy on every page. Art by @nandopintoart.bsky.social
Sent my newsletter out yesterday...and it REALLY upset one guy. But I also got some of the kindest responses, so...you know...some people just don't like peaches :) Also, I give a look at a couple of @robotjq.bsky.social's pages from our project. Enjoy! georgeoconnor.substack.com/p/requiem-fo...

For @robotjq.bsky.social and anyone else who needs a cute dog photo... That was Henry's bed. He was having a moment.
