“Part of what makes Tezuka's comics so endearing …is the universality and relatability of the themes that run through much of his work. His stories pose questions like “How do we overcome man's cruelty toward one another?” and “What is one individual's worth in the vast universe?”
“Imagining what it feels like to go insane is not easy. Not if you’ve never experienced it. The only options for getting some idea are through dense academic journals or a collection of hallucinogen-heavy experiential works of fiction. Neither of which are terribly effective…”
“…these are the sorts of weird, let-your-mind-wander, intentionally constructed experiments within the comics medium that Alan Moore opines about the world needing more of in occasional interviews and book forewords.”
Curious about the new Vertigo yet? We have you covered.

"It's hard to encapsulate exactly what's good about Galactic, the magazine-sized limited series comic from DSTLRY. It feels like a product of feeding the bulk of high-quality science fiction space films from the last century into a meat grinder to produce a delicious sausage." by @tched.com
Tom has written a terrific and thoughtful review of issue 3 of Endeavour from @dstlry.bsky.social
I really have missed writing fun headlines… (for @weirdcitymedia.com)
"Endeavour is a modern 'Lord of the Flies'... Phillips' talent for writing rich, emotionally vulnerable characters [paired with] amazing art from Laming." - @weirdcitymedia.com
Don't miss the finale of Endeavour from @stephsmash.bsky.social & @marclaming.bsky.social

Diving into Scholastic's Unico, one of many recent reimaginings of the work of manga master Osamu Tezuka.
Not quite a month into @weirdcitymedia.com’s launch, but @bsky.app is already the top referrer after email, and with only a little (non-automated) human effort.
THANK YOU to everyone who has helped make noise on here so far 👊 💪
'Conditions' is an original graphic novel about drugs, insanity, and the limitations of explaining the human condition with flow charts.
