What should I name this new sticker, fam?

I'm thinking "Spirit Animal" or "Imaginary Friend", but I would love your take on it.

Start the Day off RIGHT w/Eric B and Rakim

I maintain often that hip hop is in good health while my peers are tearfully lamenting its demise.  

It's understandable that they are so perpetually crestfallen about the state of hip hop.  

We were raised by Yo!MTV Raps and similar shows curating and delivering videos like Eric B & Rakim's Microphone Fiend on a daily basis...

Batman Stickers are here, fam! EXTREMELY LIMITED! Get yours NOW!

Remembering the mighty Bill Withers- (LIVE 1972)

These days death is coming down like rain.  
It almost seems unfair to single anyone out.  

But at the risk of being out of order, let's take a minute to appreciate the life and contribution of the late, great Bill Withers.

Start the Day Off Right with JERU THE DAMAJA

In a message I sent to a client a few minutes ago, I referenced Jeru the Damaja (I love my clients), so it wasn't long before I was watching the video for this Jeru classic Ya Playin' Yaself...

Ventilators and Death Rates

Providing Protective Equipment to Medical Workers

You missing your co-workers yet, fam?

A comic strip, and a few Social distancing tips.

Less then 11 HOURS LEFT! - LIVING SINGLE meets the MARVEL UNIVERSE

The Kickstarter Campaign for LIVING HEROES will close Sunday morning.  So if you want in on it, now's the time!

Great Power. No Responsibility?

No.  That's not how it works.

We're all exhausted with politics, the coronavirus, and President Trump.

So of course, I pulled out my cintiq, fired up adobe photoshop, and made a new comic strip that included all three.  

Hopefully it'll inject a little levity into your day...

IGNITION needs your help to cross the finish line! #KickstartTHIS

We still don't have nearly enough diversity in genres and subject matter in mainstream comics.  Racial and gender diversity (on the page and on creative teams) is a mixed bag.  On the other hand, indie comics offers more choices and inclusion.  This racing comic IGNITION is offering fans the whole package.  

[Sunday Comics] Lesson in Heroism.

Hey fam, Here's a few cool things I made this week...

New Sunday comics!

We're all in this together, fam.

I'm not trying to scare you...

I drew Ghost Rider again...

A few words about A WRITTEN TESTIMONY, the latter day coming of Jay Electronica

Well, well... What have we here?  Last month, mixtape manchild Jay Electronica announced that he had completed his long-awaited debut album.  I am so familiar with being disappointed that when A Written Testimony dropped this week I was not in a hurry to click the link. 

(In particular, it was not enough of a draw to get me onto Jay-Z's streaming service Tidal.)

But I saw Jay Electrolyte dropped it on YouTube, so it's a good time for me to dive in.

New 4 Panel Comic Strip

Y'all know I love Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, so sometimes I draw comic strips from it so I can make it useful.  Except for the last panel, these are pretty much direct quotes.

This black and white cover art to THE CROSSING #1 by Sean Hill...

Is pretty dope...

BLACK WIDOW Trailer Reveals the Villain

This morning I watched the final Black Widow trailer and was pleased with the villain they selected for her to face off against...

#NowPlaying KALLY by Headkrack

I got a message from that dude Headkrack that had a link to this new lo-fi hip hop jam Kally, so I knew you'd wanna hear it.

Snyder Begins- A few Words About BATMAN: THE BLACK MIRROR

I have never read any of Scott Snyder's work, even though he comes highly recommended.

Last week I decided to read his Batman run. So I started with this Detective Comics story arc BATMAN: THE BLACK MIRROR on hoopla digital.

#KickstartTHIS THE CROSSING from 133Art

I've been looking at teaser content for the new dimension-hopping sci-fi thriller THE CROSSING for months, so I am excited to let you know that it's live on Kickstarter right now!  Feast your eyes on these preview pages below

Want this drawing of MF DOOM? Cop it AND help fight injustice!

Help me SMASH my Birthday Goal!

March is my birthday month, and as I am looking forward to the kind of man I am hoping to become in the year ahead of me, I am focused on what I can give for my birthday, not what I can get.

How to Become a Super-Villain #1

Since we have a super-villain in the White House, you might be thinking that becoming a super-villain is a fast-track to success.  While we at GhettoManga don't recommend succumbing to your most evil nature, we would prefer that you do it safely, if you choose to do it.  So here's the first in a series of How to Become a Super-Villain threads we will be dropping at random.

A few words about BIRDS OF PREY, blah blah blah Harley Quinn

I posted my thoughts about the Birds of Prey movie on Twitter a couple weeks ago, but I am sharing and expanding on them here.  My review is basically spoiler-free.  There may be spoilers in the comments (if there are any), so read them at your own risk.

SUPERHERU Returns for #BlackHistoryMonth

Look! Up in the Sky!

In March of 2019, I collaborated on the creation of SuperHeru, the brainchild of Californian writer J.R. LeMar.  I was pleased when he came back in the Fall and commissioned me for a couple episodes of a SuperHeru comic strip.  

If you missed the first one, CLICK HERE to check it out. 

Better two and a half weeks late than never?

This looks like a job for SUPERHERU

This is now the official video for Smooth Criminal at GhettoManga HQ

All controversies aside, I remain a pretty big Michael Jackson fan.  I know.  It's too late for me.  Anyways, I also love weird animation.  So if someone could mash up this clip from Space Dandy and Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal for me, that would be great.
