In The Beginning

Well, I found Prime Day a bit of a dud this year. Sometimes there are some bargains to be found, but all I got was perfume for my lovely wife1.

I was a big Transformers fan, in comic and cartoon form, so when ever someone mentions Prime, I think of the Autobot leadership2.

It’s been a busy couple of weeks, with some interesting and fantastic comic news and reading being done. I’ve noticed an influx of news on horror comics due to come out in October. It’s good to see publishers getting organised.

Commentary

Where were you in the great social media wars of the 2020s?

I really don’t know what the answer is here. Twitter has been turning into a total dumpster fire since the takeover. My Substack links work as I self-hosted, spam and bots are rising, and various restrictions exist. I’m on Threads, and that seems like chaos. I get people I follow and people the algorithm seems to think I should see. Some are fine, but others…less so.

I’m on Bluesky, where it seems many comics people I know, and respect have decamped to. The blocking seems good, and it has a friendly vibe. I do miss the trending topics/news aspect that Twitter has, though.

My LinkTree will be massive - I’m on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky, Mastodon and Hive. What do you use?

On the darker side of crowdfunders though, some will know that some projects will fall through.
