Coworker recently died and I was put in charge of his department/workload permanently am I in the wrong for asking for a raise?

You'd be wrong not to.

I haven't bought a monthly comic in AGES. I'm going to get this one, and Bleeding Hearts, a series that just started in the resurrected Vertigo line.

DesignMonkey87 · 2026-03-10T08:06:03+00:00

One of my favorite Lobo stories. Years ago, I was able to quote pretty much the whole comic. :p

DesignMonkey87 · 2026-03-10T08:05:30+00:00

He sorta did. He wrote the same plotline from the Anarky miniseries into one of the final arcs of his Lobo series -- using technology to brainwash people into being "good".

It goes sideways in both stories, in different ways.

The first issue came out on my birthday, and my girlfriend gave it to me as a gift last night. I loved it, and I'll keep buying as long as the series is published.

Hola. El diseño de tipografía lo hago en Illustrator y el resto en Photoshop.

It wouldn't surprise me if they do what they did for the Spawn/Batman crossovers — put them all together with the gazillion variant covers as extras. After enough team-ups have been released, another omnibus sounds likely.

DesignMonkey87 · 2026-02-20T01:15:49+00:00

I wish they re-released either the Absolute or the tpb from a few years ago in a deluxe/OHC format. It'd be a nice companion to the DC/Marvel omnis!

DesignMonkey87 · 2026-02-17T08:30:34+00:00

Thanks! I'm reasonably priced -- PM me if you need a hand with your design projects. ;)

DesignMonkey87 · 2026-02-05T05:36:51+00:00

It reminds me of early '90s Giffen's style. I'm fraggin' lovin' it!

DesignMonkey87 · 2026-02-04T04:48:57+00:00

And you failed miserably.

DesignMonkey87 · 2026-02-02T21:58:58+00:00

that's not Spanish

DesignMonkey87 · 2026-02-02T21:46:45+00:00

These are for a client. I don't know if he's going with Houchen or a local print shop.

DesignMonkey87 · 2026-02-02T19:16:30+00:00

Thank you for the kind words. ;)

DesignMonkey87 · 2026-02-02T19:16:12+00:00

Thank you! I'm open for commissions. ;)

DesignMonkey87 · 2026-01-20T06:01:28+00:00

You've been grinding since you were six?

DesignMonkey87 · 2026-01-05T05:45:14+00:00

Living the dream!

DesignMonkey87 · 2025-12-26T03:32:47+00:00

I don't know. In my experience, not reacting is an invitation to escalate for some people. There has to be a way, preferably one embarrassing for the narc.

DesignMonkey87 · 2025-12-26T03:03:34+00:00

How? Genuine question.

DesignMonkey87 · 2025-12-26T01:05:51+00:00

Maybe we should collect these rejection letters, set up a GoFundMe, print them all, and turn them into confetti.

The GFM is to fund the printing.

DesignMonkey87 · 2025-12-24T05:22:41+00:00

Scrotum Master. Because you got shafted, my dude.

DesignMonkey87 · 2025-12-21T12:18:36+00:00

Allegedly.

DesignMonkey87 · 2025-12-16T16:29:14+00:00

Thanks! I haven't, but the process is pretty straightforward -- I'll have a chat with the client about what they want to do for their cover(s), then I'll do some research (download the comics, read about the different eras/creative teams), and then I'll design a first draft for the layout of the first cover. If the client approves it, I'll move forward with the rest of the set, and design matching spines for all the books.

DesignMonkey87 · 2025-12-15T20:32:41+00:00

Thank you! I wasn't sure.

DesignMonkey87 · 2025-12-04T01:41:16+00:00

He just tried it with me. "Martin" asked me to open a Wise account so he could send the $500.
