Last week saw the release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #13, the first issue from the new creative team of writers Gene Luen Yang and Freddie E. Williams II. It’s safe to say that IDW Publishing was promoting this book. There’s a good reason for that. After teasing the arrival of an all-new enemy named Ujigami, the final page of TMNT #13 reveals the most shocking development regarding Ujigami’s true identity. Yes, the deadly new villain Ujigami is actually Master Splinter, the recently resurrected father of the TMNT! Via IGN, writer Gene Luen Yang and editor Jake Thomas discussed this…
This year has been a whirlwind year for AI development, with more companies than ever revealing the use of generative AI in things like video games. While the comics industry has broadly taken a firm stance against generative AI, some creators have been accused of using it in their works. Most recently, artist Sean Northridge shared a thread of AWA’s Ultimate Oz Universe: The Lost Lands panels illustrated by Mike Deodato Jr., calling them “a combination of AI slop, traced photo references, and actual (almost rushed) art.” Many people have used Northridge’s thread as a rallying point to talk about…
I recently sat down to talk with Scott Dunbier, founder of Act IV Publishing and creator of Artist’s Edition. For those who aren’t familiar with Artist Editions, Artist Editions are full-size color reproductions of original comic book art.

But by recreating the art in full color, the viewer can see all the uses of whiteout, all the blue pencil lines left on the page, and other imperfections that make looking at the original art so much fun. I spoke with Scott primarily about…

Elon Musk: American oligarch Cartoonist: Darryl CunninghamPublisher: Seven Stories PressRelease date: September 9, 2025 Elon Musk’s story includes some of the life twists and turns commonly associated with supervillains.

Stephen Colbert called him on the second episode of Late Night in September 2015 and had him ask if he was a superhero or a supervillain. At the time, his big plans for SpaceX and Tesla branded him a…
Nick Canetti is one of the most exciting creators working on superhero books today. His visual style is reminiscent of the greats of superhero comics, from Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko to modern creators like Mike Allred and Bruce Timm. Still, Canetti reminds readers just how powerful (and highly entertaining) this genre can be with his own distinctive voice. He may be best known for his previous film Pink Lemonade, which featured a bike-riding hero who brings joy to the world around him, satisfying Canetti’s eye for psychedelic visuals. In Oni Press’ long-awaited sequel, Spirit of the Shadows, the creators…
Sony Pictures and Music have signed a deal to acquire Canadian animation company Wildbrain’s 41% ownership interest in Peanuts. Combined with Sony’s current 39% stake in Peanuts Holdings LLC, this gives the conglomerate most control of the rights to the classic comic, with the remaining 20% still owned by the family of author Charles M.
