"Rings" by ND Stevenson
My absolute favourite comic journal by Stevenson. Made me cry my eyes out. Even when I can't articulate it, it gets to the core of what I think love is.
so to summarise. tor publishing posting on instagram threads that we might be excited to see their new release announcements. they pull all their locked tomb social media posts from their instagram page. if you dig through one of the unannounced books' upc numbers matches with that of the locked tomb books. reactormag twitter has not posted anything in a week. the announcement for all the books will be on the 9th. which could all of course. mean nothing.
ok the archeological dig for LOTR art from the twt old days has wound up slightly more convoluted due to little cross-posting and dead/scrubbed twt accounts (my scrubbed acc included) so i might be going an a little journey of archived sites to dig up what i can, artist by artist. i'm trying to avoid linking twt posts bc...twt, which complicates things further (i do this to myself), but there are other archives out there.
So I follow N. D. Stevenson (comics writer and animator, most famous for Nimona and She-Ra and the Princesses of Power) and his husband Lee Ostertag (also a comics writer and animator) on Instagram. When I started following them, they were both publicly presenting as women, and then a few years ago N. D. came out as transmasc nonbinary, and then earlier this year Lee also came out as transmasc. Anyway this is all setup to say that Lee had the chance to make the funniest post of all time and he took it:
hehehehehe
Did you know that JRR Tolkien wrote an unpublished epilogue to Lord of the Rings? It's achingly, beautifully wistful in the way that only Lord of the Rings is. I revisited it recently because I'm guesting on my friends' LOTR podcast, and THAT reminded me that I drew a comic of the epilogue back in 2021 (all text is entirely canon). Anyway I thought folks on this website might enjoy it!
