Is it here? Has the time finally come to make money off of my comics?

You know how sometimes your favorite comic creator disappears from social media because they’re waiting to make a big announcement about a new project? Well?

Hope everyone has a blast at Heroes Con! I’ll be there in spirit. When there is just one pair of footprints on your journey, it’s because my spirit has veered off to chat up an editor for work.

So much of working in comics is networking, and I’ve done a poor job of navigating the various social media apps to build a base. If you’ve read my comics, please give this a share and let people know I’ve got works ready to read.

What’s your favorite comic you read this year in the genre of “Acid Rain Apocalypse Featuring a Bible Belt Cryptid and Talking Stuffed Turtle”? Oh, it’s Absolute Batman? Well, Something Beyond the Petrichor must be a close second. All four issues are out now! Art by @neridacomic.bsky.social

I’ll be sending out the dream comic pitch this week featuring art by @andydugganart.bsky.social and letters by @micahmyers.bsky.social Can’t chat too much about the specifics, but anyone who guesses correctly based on this image deserves a pack of cigarettes, either regular or menthol.

Though I have some pitches in the works, this is the final comic I currently have slated for release. Be sure to grab a copy from your favorite local comic store or online retailer! And if you're an editor or publisher, be sure to get in touch for a sample copy. I'd love to write your next hit!

I got to meet @sonnystrait.bsky.social at Fanboy Expo this weekend, and got so caught up chatting about comics that I forgot to mention how much I adore his performance as Krillin (the best DBZ character, let’s all admit). Thanks for being so cool, Sonny!

24 written comic pages, 50 film script pages, and 100 hours at the day job in two weeks means that I get to buy myself a toy. Maybe it’s time to complete my Universal Monsters/Turtles collab collection with these guys.

Temporarily shelved pitch time! “Dimensions Disturbed” is a reverse D&D series with kids from a fantasy world discovering that they’re characters in a tabletop RPG. Pencils and inks: @sethdamoose.bsky.social Colors: @treecolour.bsky.social Letters: @micahmyers.bsky.social

The real “Dakota Incident” will be when @dc.com hires me to write a single issue and it leads to a longstanding creative relationship. I doubt that would get its own History of the DC Universe one shot, though.

With #marvel and @dc.com making big shifts, it’s a great time to remind the comic-sphere that I’m open and available for work. I’m an award-winning graphic novelist whose newest release is getting a hugely positive critical response. Publishers, I’d love to work on your IP!
