monkeysfightingrobots.coComiXology Originals Exclusive Preview: THE ALL-NIGHTER #4THE ALL-NIGHTER #4 hits the internet December 21st, but thanks to comiXology, MFR has an exclusive five-page preview for you.

So glad to have a non-print comic so I don’t have to worry about how it prints or—

OH HEY HERE’S A PRINT VERSION! And it looks amaaaazing! The full collection is in stores February 16 from Dark Horse!

And I still haven’t written a better Dr. Doom line than this:

AND YOU NEVER WILL

Honestly? You’re not wrong!

Oh, hey! Guess what’s back? ASTRO CITY! Kurt, Brent et. al are doing a big ol’ one-shot and commissioned new covers referencing other Image books! So I did this:

OH YOU SENTIMENTAL FOOL

Sorry!!! It’s the time of year for looking back! And also the time of year for Best Of The Year lists!

Happy for Daredevil to be in the Newsarama’s Best Comics of 2021 list and Stillwater to be in Screenrant’s Best Image Comics of 2021 list! Nice company to be in!

Chip’s Funtime Substack couldn’t exist without you! I mean, it could, but it would absolutely suck and be incredibly lonely. Your subscription enables me to make fun stuff, hire fun creators, and give you comics with the Zdarsky Touch™. So, thanks!
