Kill the bird

Twitter promotes extremism and it dehumanizes people.

After I deleted my account, I went to a baseball game. A recreational league. I don’t care about baseball. It was hot and the bleachers were hard. But it was really nice to spend a few hours with two thousand strangers in a park.

Also, there were fried pickles.

MAN-EATERS vol 1 named one of Amazon's Best Books of 2019 (so far)

Submitted by Chelsea on June 18, 2019 - 3:28pm

MAN-EATERS vol 1 (collecting issues 1-4) was just named One of the Best Books of the Year ("so far") by Amazon. That's pretty neat, right?!

We are really grateful.

You can buy MAN-EATERS vol 1 and MAN-EATERS vol 2 (collecting issues 5-8) at your local comic book store and/or independent bookshop.

To review, because it's complicated: Single issues come out every month and are available at comic book stores. (So as I write this, comic book stores have up to issue #9.) Issues are then collected and published as volumes, and it is only at this point that the comic book is available in book stores (in addition to comic book stores). It is a very silly and self-defeating distribution model. But it is what we have.

MAN-EATERS vol 3 (collecting issues 9-12) will be published in Sept or Oct (I think?).

Here endeth the lesson.
