Another amazing chapter! I don’t know what’s going on and I love it :)

No San Diego for me, being a Brit means there’s no way I can afford it sadly.

Love the 2 Page spread from Niko, i can feel the pain in the picture and in his hands drawing it.

Since i‘m in Germany sadly no SD Con for me.

And Thanks for sharing The „Mariela“ panels, again being from Germany it nit understandable how the right to habe Guns are more important then kids.

No cons for me... maybe TIFF... just wanted to say: Wow, Pia! Very brave to make that art. It made me feel some complex things. So succinct, but incredible in how many thoughts and feelings it will spur with me for who knows how long.

No SDCC - I don’t know when I’m going to feel comfortable going to cons again given the… questionable hygiene of many goers, and still feeling uneasy about Covid, etc.

This chapter is just stunning. I really hope Niko made a video while working on that double page spread because… holy hell. Just spectacular.

Holy Hot Damn!! Niko your two page spread!! *chef's kiss*

And wow!! Even with the warning that single page from Pia, hurt and brought a tear to my eye...

With that said!! Thank you Brian, for doing these every week and for being an amazing human bean!! I have my bookplates and everything back in hand!! Thank you so much for taking the time to do that for me <3

Sadly I will not be able to make it to SDCC this year, maybe next year I'll try and make the trip.

Whoa. That piece from Pia is as horrific as it is necessary.

According to Chuck Palahniuk, we can't talk about this installment.

Stellar work today, as always folks...love that I haven't a clue where this story is going, too.

Looking forward to SDCC, and especially the Paper Girls panel (and show)...maybe us fancy pants members get reserved seats or something!?

(Being a con vet, I know that would TOUGH to swing...but wanted to toss the idea out there, just in case).

Yeah, the gun laws in Texas are irrational to say the least right now; and GOD DAMN we need more outsider & insider mediums to put this horror in the faces of the American people. It's insane and needs to stop. I'm grateful to Pia for her biting, necessary critique. We all need to feel haunted and rapidly come to an agreement about curtailing this violence against our children.

ugh

Thank you for the rec's BKV. Will check them out. And Niko's 2-page spread was AWESOME! I bet that Niko's art would look even more wonderful in person. That photo of the original is tantalizing to the MAX.

I've never been to SDCC, but trying to convince my older brother to go and re-ignite his passion for all things comic-book. Thank you for this week's segment!

Sadly, I will not be attending this year. I went once in 2013 and rather enjoyed the chaotic shit show that it is. I believe I tried to get into a signing with you at that con or maybe the NY Comic con a couple years later for Under the Dome. Unfortunately It was a lottery drawing that I did not get lucky on. Bummer summer. Someday! Enjoy the chaos!

Man, what a depressing, powerful statement to make (apologies to Niko and his amazing drawing, school shootings hit me on a different level right now).

I’m just waiting for the Spectator’s Elon Musk to arrive after seeing that Hyperloop in the background.

As a European it will take me some more saving to get to SDCC or any other US con someday. Although the Tower gathering sounds interesting… Maybe we should do a European gathering with Niko - I’ll bring the beers!

Not going to San Diego but I'll be at NYCC. I only bought the ticket for Substack panels and Artist Alley...going to attempt to get some sketches or original art but have no idea what I'm doing at an actual in person con.

I will not being attending SDCC this year, and now I am even more sad! I'd love to be at said special gathering! I will be attending C2E2 in Chicago this August though. Amazing page from Pia, my sincere gratitude for the nightmares that will surely come my way.
