#comic recommendations

oh boy do i have so many. and i would really love to write a little blurb for each one and why i like it but i'm afraid i will never answer the ask if i wait til i have the energy to do that so

i did go through and label my fanarts on my other blog with a comic rec tag which i do include a little bit about the comic in. but not everything i read is in there (hands and time be damned i will make fresh fanart for everyone!!!!!) so lemme include some others off the top of my head

cat comic recs.. go! (putting a reminder to read content warnings for ones that are more grimdark or have otherwise more mature themes than your average cat comic/the exiled for reference)

This is a collection of protest comics in the face of ongoing censorship against erotica, horror, and transgressive art. Available Feb 25th. Viewer discretion is advised.

CREDITS

Word gallons are for more than just words. They can be used to emphasis and even add emotions and to a scene

Feeling dizzy? About to pass out?

A lilting playful swirl (Time and Time Again by Deo I)

The white and black of the text has been replaced with a sinister black and the words are off tilter (Sword Interval by Benjamin Fleuter)

The voice is coming from a place deeper and more unsettling and the text is uneven and handwritten

A dismissive comment literally (metaphorically) stabs someone (Marionetta by Míriam Bonastre Tur)

Being interrupted before finishing what is being said

A withering and icy reply (The Secrets of Soulford by the Quincil)

Wobbly uncertain bubbles that even break apart in some parts from dizziness (The Blind Prince by cozycroww)

Pain almost appears to be breaking the usually round bubble into uneven and broken balloons. The little smaller balloons around it are reminiscent of sweat or tears (Heir’s Game by suspu)

JACE FOX COMICS CHECKLIST

This is my simple "just the issues" checklist of Jace Fox comics, a companion to my Jace Fox reading guide which provides proper background alongside these same recs. Both lists have all Jace appearances (as of May 2026), aside from handbook entries and some unimportant background cameos. Important issues are bolded.

Note: he changes his name to Jace when he's reintroduced, but he originally goes by the name Tim.
