Are you sorry or are you unapologetic? You don't get to be both!!
Hell yeah!
Two bad dudes doing bad dude stuff. I pity the fool who tries to steal their poutine. #deadpool #wolverine
This is just a random gif-- Gotham clearly has far more henchmen opportunities available than this!
Yeah, it would definitely be between him and Falcone for me. They seem like the type of guys who would pride themselves on running a professional organization, unlike the rest of those clowns.
If you were a henchman in Gotham City, which villains would you most want to work for?
Man, when Trump says that he likes to hire people who look like they're from central casting, he really means it...
THIS weekend! Do NOT sleep! Aug. 23-24! Artist @reillybrown.bsky.social is at the Fairfax Comic Con in Fairfax, VA! Get you there! Tix and info: www.fairfaxcomiccon.com

"Late" Sal Buscema... You know he's still alive, right? lol
That logo looks like it would be for a can of beans or something.
That looks awesome!
A mere 12 days out, people! Do NOT sleep on this! Aug. 23-24! Artist @reillybrown.bsky.social is at the Fairfax Comic Con in Fairfax, VA! Get you there! Tix and info: www.fairfaxcomiccon.com
We'd all be so much wealthier if YOU ran a social media site!
You've had your Sunday breakfast. Time for Funnies
The penguins make me happy.
Some of my drawings from SDCC
Honestly, balance bikes didn't really help my kids.
Cowabunga! Don't forget to order your copy of the Masters of the Universe/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles of Grayskull paperback edition! Details: bit.ly/3J73KPx Collects all 4 issues of the series by By @hackintimseeley.bsky.social, @freddieart.bsky.social, more. With Mattel
That’s awesome.
That would have been epic. Although, honestly, I feel like if they could have gotten Neal to do something for them, they would have used him for something bigger than that book (although maybe not... his X-Men prequel series wasn't exactly his best work)
In X-Men #59, they mention a few times that the Sentinels all respond to an alarm on one side of the base, which allows the X-Men to sneak in the other side. Do we ever learn who set that alarm off? They make kind of a big deal of it here.
Just 18 days out! Coming Aug. 23-24! Artist @reillybrown.bsky.social is at the Fairfax Comic Con in Fairfax, VA! Get you there! Tix and info: www.fairfaxcomiccon.com
You're supposed to throw those away?? I've got books like that where I've been saving those stupid things for years! All falling all over the place every time I open the book up...

Dune, 1965
Just got the latest issue of A Kid and A Comic before heading off to SDCC tomorrow! I’ll be in Artist Alley at table HH-01, and there might even be a special guest appearance by a certain Thunder Guardian collaborator— as long as he cleans his room and eats all his vegetables 😉 See you guys there!
Oh yeah, this totally makes them seem more innocent...
Here’s my schedule for SDCC: The Art of Comic Book Collaboration Thursday, 7/24/25 3:00PM - 4:00PM Room: 11 Breaking Into Comics and Staying In Friday, 7/25/25 2:00PM - 3:00PM Room: 11 The rest of the time you can most likely find me at my table in Artist Alley at HH-01 It’s gonna be a fun show!
The best hug at the #Superman premiere came from this amazing woman, Laura Siegel Larson. Her father, Jerry Siegel, along with artist Joe Shuster, were two 17 year old kids when they came up with Superman. LOVE that @jamesgunn and @dcofficial made sure she was there. #hope #love #inspiration
Congratulations!
Make them give you a whole series of this!
Don't let Friends have that kind of power over you!
Epic
That's awesome, man!
I don't think I ever block an area out first, but I might draw something and then outline in with white afterwards.
@tomtomorrow.bsky.social @rubenbolling.bsky.social First they come for the comedians, then the cartoonist. Kings fear being laughed at. We have a funny bone to pick with/without a smile on our faces #Colbert #Kimmel #SethMeyers #DailyShow
Awesome!
If you see this, post a vampire !
(Although I don’t understand what Stan and Jack were doing in this one)
I’ve been re-reading the 60s X-Men with the boy. Looking at it now, I can really appreciate what Stan and Jack were doing with the title, that Arnold Drake and Roy Thomas didn’t quite get (although I think Neal Adams did)
I love this issue. It's part of that weird stretch of stories where the X-Men keep running into people who they think are mutants, but turns out, they're just weirdos.
That's a damn cool cover.
We can always have fun on a Sunday... by ordering an #SDCC 2025 commission from legendary #DC artist @reillybrown.bsky.social:
Comic Con is only 10 days away! I’ll be there at table HH-01. I’m currently getting a commission list together, so if you have any sketch requests, reach out via the contact page on my website ( www.reillybrownart.com/contact-shift ) for prices and information.
The right-wing backlash against #Superman has happened before. Here’s my @vanityfair.com report w/ the full history —starting with April 1940, when the official SS newspaper attacked the comic book hero & its creators. Plus, that time Superman fought the KKK… 🔗 www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...
Gorgeous stuff!
She was great! The Daily Planet crew might have been my favorite part of the movie.
Totally agree!
NEXT MONTH! Coming Aug. 23-24! Artist @reillybrown.bsky.social is at the Fairfax Comic Con in Fairfax, VA! Get you there! Tix and info: www.fairfaxcomiccon.com
Gonna have to pick this up!
San Diego Comic Con is just a few weeks away! You can find me there in Artist Alley at table HH-01, signing and sketching away. If you're interested in pre-ordering a commission, hit me up through the contact page on my website www.reillybrownart.com/contact-shift See you there!
Thanks man. That’s one of my favorite pages as well.
Here are those #portfolioday pieces in color--
What's up #portfolioday ? I'm Reilly Brown, a comic book artist. I draw Masters of the Universe, Thunder Guardian, Forgotten Runes: Wizard's Cult, as well fellas like Deadpool and Batman.
Cyclops actually breaks Magneto's back later in this issue, but I imagine this little love tap loosened it up a bit.
No kidding!
Damn! Has anyone ever punched anyone as hard as Cyclops punches Magneto right here? Steranko was cranking the X-Men up to 11 here.
Thanks for helping to spread the word!
Thanks man! Amadeus is a fun character-- I miss that little brat!
Happy birthday, America. You’ve looked better.

The first time I met him was back in 2010 when Seth and I met him for Graphic NYC. I'm really proud of this big, exhaustive interview with Jim. I was lucky to interview him about Daredevil and Frank Miller a couple of months ago and hope to find a home for that soon. web.archive.org/web/20150317...
She's a genius!
FYI, my Domestika comics course is on sale for $1 Get it while it's hot! www.domestika.org/en/courses/4...
I know I know people who would be perfect for this job!
Oh man, I saw him recently at a convention, and he appeared to be in pain, but he was determined to be there until the show ended to meet as many fans as he could. I always loved his stories, both on the pages and off. Rest in peace, Jim.
And people are always making fun of New Jersey!
Just got confirmation that I will be at NYCC this fall!
Yeah, it kind of loses the whole point without it.
One day Trump won't be in office anymore-- when that happens, DO NOT let people like this off the hook!
I know! They were made by some weird Chinese company that seems to just make whatever. Like, now they make egg incubators(?!) or something. I'm hoping that there's some company out there that makes something similar in quality, but haven't found one yet.
Sketching on some figure packaging with some paint pens. Turned out better than I was expecting. I used Magic Fly pens, which are the best paint pens I’ve ever used. Unfortunately they’ve been discontinued… Hopefully I can find something similar somewhere! . #motu #hordak #despara #shera #paintpens
Right wingers have a really bizarre fear of New York City. Like, a legit FEAR. I think they just don't understand how it works, and so it intimidates them, but if you know the city, the things they worry about just don't make sense.
This weekend I’ll be at Garden State Comic Fest in my home town of West Orange, NJ! It’s the show’s first time in this town, so come on out and show your support! . #deadpool #comics #gscf #westorange #nj #gardenstatecomicfest
It makes a difference
No sweat! Hope you find it useful.
So there you have it! There's definitely other advice out there, but these are specifically things that somehow slipped my attention when I was starting out, that I wish I'd known about. So now, at least, you can't say no one told you! Best of luck!
19. Save all the files you work on, including from the colorist and letterer. You never know when they'll be useful to have for things like self-promotion. 20. The urgent will always take precedence over the important. If there's a project that's important to you, find a way to give it urgency.
18. If you ever don't know what to do about anything, don't hesitate to ask other pros for advice. They can be more open than you think.
17. Find a rep to handle your art sales, and a rep to handle your convention appearances. They don't have to be the same person, but they can be. It'll make your life so much easier.
16. When drawing a cover, always leave room to sign an autograph. You will be signing that thing for the rest of your life, so do yourself a favor!
15. Being part of a studio is great, because the social incentive is to BE working. Other places might want you to be FINISHED working, or to be doing something other than work, but in the studio, that's where the incentive is to be at the desk, in the process of creating, and that's THE BEST.
14. Make sure you have some creator-owned work. Having images that you wholly own and control can allow you to take advantage of opportunities (large and small) that you can't if you have to ask for permission.
13. Doing franchise work is to be part of the legacy that tons of other creators have been building together over time. Being a part of that, and making it part of your own legacy, can be very valuable.
The words in that contract will be the only thing they know about what you're supposed to be doing with each other. 12. With a good deal, when the project is a success, everybody wins.
11. When you negotiate a contract, remember that you're not signing with your buddy who hired you, you're signing it with the company that buys the company your buddy worked for years later, and has never heard of you.
9. The comics that people always remember are their first comic, and their favorite comic. Trying to pick projects that you think will be those things to readers will really help to build your fan base. 10. When drawing random civilians in the background, don't forget to give women purses.
7. They can't all be winners. The ones that aren't are probably not as bad as you think, so don't sweat it. 8. Those drawing triangle things are way easier to use than t-squares. They do pretty much the same thing, but are much more maneuverable.
4. A book is as good as the creative team makes it. Find people whose teamwork you can count on, and who can also count on yours. 5. Trust your editors. Their instincts and experience got them to where they are, and just like you, they want to make the best book possible. 6. Rim lighting.
2. Figure out formulas for drawing your characters that makes them easier and faster to draw. Animation instruction books teach these principles WAY better than illustration books do. 3. Buy toy cars from CVS-- so much easier and faster than looking for reference!
1. Text placement-- typing the dialog out onto the page layouts REALLY helps to compose the page better. Plus once you see how much space the word balloons will be covering up, you realize how much space you don't need to draw on, which can save a lot of time.
In the 20 years I've been working in comics, I've heard a lot of tips, tricks and advice-- but some of it I had to learnt he hard way! So, here are 20 things that I've learned that I wish I had been told when I was first starting out (but wasn't!).
Getting ready for Garden State Comic Fest this weekend, and putting some scribbles on these action figures. Find me at Cody Arena in West Orange to pick one up! #motu #hordak #despara #shera #gscf
Nice work! I love Diego's art.
