The sad Multiversity news underlines just how precarious the world of independent comics coverage is. Broken Frontier survives only because I’m prepared to take a four-figure loss on it every year. If I lost my job tomorrow it would vanish in a heartbeat.

Is Kylie Minogue aware that if not for her then Captain Britain would never have been able to save us all from a rampaging Hulk?

Doing lots of work on Small Press Day - Saturday 17th August! this evening. Just four months to go!

We already have 5 comics creator commentaries lined up for #PrideMonth at Broken Frontier. But let’s make BF the biggest celebration of queer voices in comics in June and see if we can manage 20 so we have one up every posting day! Details here: brokenfrontier.com/preparing-for-…

Curation is incredibly hard! Don't be despondent if you didn't make it this year. It's a reflection of our incredibly vibrant indie comics scene in the UK not a reflection on you.

So for round 2 on tonight’s Gosh and Broken Frontier Drink and Draw #goshbfdd our theme is from one of the stories in the upcoming special by Gail Simone and Aly Fell. You have 30 mins on ‘The Pub at the End of the Road’.

You honestly only think you know how busy we are behind the scenes at Broken Frontier at any given time. Check out this piece up on the site today for details on the realities of running BF, the number of weekly requests we get for coverage, and all our unseen community support!

So for our first round on tonight's Gosh! Comics and Broken Frontier Drink and Draw we're going with the very obvious choice of 'Misty' for your drawing theme. Interpret that any way you want! You have 30 minutes, (Cover by Tula Lotay) #GoshBFDD

After accidentally creating Small Press Day - Saturday 17th August! back in 2016 & giving birth to a gazillion events & comic creator signings around the UK & Ireland,
I'm stepping away from the event to take a break & reflect on stuff.
Broken Frontier & Alternative Press will carry on doing a fecking great job

You have half an hour to draw on each theme and we'll announce a winner at the end of each round. Please note winners will be announced tonight from this account so make sure you're following BF! Don't forget to use the hashtag #GoshBFDD

Welcome to tonight's Gosh! Comics & Broken Frontier Drink and Draw with a special 'Misty' comic theme! If you're new to D&D we have 3 themed drawing rounds at 7.30, 8.15 & 9.00. #GoshBFDD

Long-threatened, self-indulgent piece up at Broken Frontier today but it does give some insight into the realities of our workload.
