September 17th, 2025: In the other part of my life (writing comics for Star Trek and Marvel and DC Comics) I have four (four!) new books out today! If you head down to your local comic shoppe, be sure to check out KRYPTO: THE LAST DOG OF KRYPTON #4, and/or FANTASTIC FOUR #3, and/or STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS: SECOND CONTACT (the collection of my new run on the book!) AND/OR Deadpool/Batman #1, for a li'l 3-page backup story that brings back something I am really excited to see return! Thus concludes the pitch for Ryan's books here on Ryan's Webzone. :0

September 15th, 2025: So earlier T-Rex suggested a new alphabet replacement, and I got an email from Michael L, who wrote:

I took the liberty of finding you the first 26 Garfield comics with no text in them (barring bookkeeping text like dates and signatures ofc) so you don't have to worry about recursively putting Garfield comics inside Garfield comics in order to make them parseable.

I thought this was both amazing AND PRACTICAL, and so with permission I now share this list here with you!!
