The whole font change when the title of the book is said, one of my favorite comic tropes, I hardly see it in the books I'm reading now a days

Honestly i FW the Mauve Lantern

Here’s a sketch cover commission I did of Ultramega. I remember reading it for the first time when it came out, it was such an experience.

Mixed media: India ink, alcohol marker, color pencils, and airbrush.

Would love to get opinions from people about what I might like based off what I got.

For example. The Muppets cover on all the Marvel books. Or the Kingdom Come covers coming at DC.

Those theme covers.

They make some need art, but there needs to be a different way to use this art than to confuse customers who buy comics based on covers.

I personally think that the late 80s into early 90s are by far the best era of comics. JDM's Spider-Man and Peter David's Hulk are a big reason for this, but there are still other great books from this time period. It was right before the start of early digital coloring, which I'm personally not a fan of. On the DC side there's the INCREDIBLE Batman work from this time like Dark Knight Returns, Year One, The Cult, etc. I really think that this was the peak of comics for me, Marvel and DC stopped being afraid to tell darker and more complex stories. And of course... Watchmen came out during this time.

What do your comic shelves look like?

Hey everyone,

I’m 13 years old and I’ve been building my own superhero universe, W-MATTER, since I was a little kid. I just published it, and I want to state one thing loud and clear: 0% AI was used in this project. Every single panel, character design, and line is 100% hand-drawn through months of hard work and late nights.

Here is my controversial opinion that might trigger some people:

Using AI generators to make a comic book isn't 'making art'—it's lazy and it steals the soul out of real storytelling.

While grown adults are pressing buttons to let prompts draw for them, I spent my childhood actually practicing, failing, and pouring real emotion onto the canvas. If a 13-year-old can stay dedicated to traditional/digital hand-drawing, what’s your excuse for using AI?

I know AI defenders are going to come at me in the comments saying 'it's just a tool,' but I stand by what I said. Real art requires real sweat.

Check out my action panels and let me know your thoughts—whether you agree or think I'm wrong. Let's debate!

I saw a clip of Robert Kirkman talking about what newbie writers should do and he said that the hardest part isn't the writing (although he did make sure to clarify that being a good writer is a skill to be practiced) and in actuality the hardest part is getting an artist to work on a comic with you.

He mentions how expensive it can be and that money is a huge factor, and this is just to GET NOTICED.

I've often heard people say that it's easier for an artist to get noticed because they can display their sequential work online but that's resulted in a flurry of artists competing.

Furthermore it's harder for a writer because they inherently have nothing to display but this results in fewer writers competing in the industry.

I wonder how do you think it is for a writer to break in?

So I'm just starting my journey to read graphic novels and first i wanna read something absolutely reality altering trippy stuff, like i just sit there is awe of what craziness is going on and won't be able to put it down at all, also like we don't have a big comic or graphic novel culture in my country so its kinda difficult to get my hands on some of the old stuff so ig newer things would be preferred.

Thank you!!

I recently commissioned an artist to draw a Black Cat picture for me and I love it alot! I want to somehow transfer the art on a blank spiderman cover for my collection.

I have thought of removing the staples off the spine and putting the cover through my printer. Obviously I don’t know if that’s gonna work at all. But If there’s other ways to do this, please let me know!
