Drew Maxey is a writer @drewxdeficit.bsky.social · 03/08/2026What if #Punisher were left-wing? That’s the driving question behind my series of mini-comics with Daniel Max and Franci Gouvea. We’ve done 3 shorts (4-5 pg.) about fighting fascism in its various forms. Here’s a sneak peek at the fourth. Get the first 3 at drewxdeficit.bigcartel.com #comics 010
Drew Maxey is a writer @drewxdeficit.bsky.social · 29/07/2026What if #ThePunisher were left-wing?In his first entry, our vigilante makes his presence and mission known as he responds to a news host with a lot to say about transgender people. #comics #comicbooks #indiecomics Get one in print, guerilla zine-style: drewxdeficit.bigcartel.com 000
Drew Maxey is a writer @drewxdeficit.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Punk & hardcore taught me to channel my anger into something more productive, like art. Fascism has dragged its grotesque form out of hiding and into public view. I only think it’s fair to meet it with equally grotesque storytelling. What if The Punisher were a radical leftist? #comics #comicbooks 000
Drew Maxey is a writer @drewxdeficit.bsky.social · 27/07/2026You should read my comics because you’re angry at the world around you. I am too, and I write so we can commiserate for a while, find each other, and let our anger motivate us to demand better for our lives. As Crass taught us, they DO owe us a living. 000
Drew Maxey is a writer @drewxdeficit.bsky.social · 14/07/2026#PortfolioDay I also write poetry comics, each a single page paired with an incredible artist where we can both work together to enhance each other's skills. 010
Drew Maxey is a writer @drewxdeficit.bsky.social · 14/07/2026#PortfolioDay Bonus: Here's "The Golden Age" in its entirety, a story I wrote about an ex-superhero reminiscing on a Sunday afternoon. I wanted to mess around with the mirrored effect from Watchmen in a joyful, celebratory tone. Hope you dig it! 010
Drew Maxey is a writer @drewxdeficit.bsky.social · 14/07/2026I also write more mature stories, including an ongoing series of shorts inspire by exploitation films starring a character I nicknamed Leftist Punisher (but promise to have a real name for soon), which I publish as DIY minicomics (drewxdeficit.bigcartel.com). Examples below! #portfolioday 2/2 110
Drew Maxey is a writer @drewxdeficit.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Hi, #portfolioday! I'm Drew, a writer who specializes in character-driven comics. In superheroes, I focus on the people behind the symbols. I've been published by DC Comics and I even wrote an officially licensed Justice League video game. I'd like to work with you! Here are some examples: 120
Drew Maxey is a writer @drewxdeficit.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Poetry is cool. Comics are cool. What if they were cool together? I just made prints of “Apricity,” a comic poem about missing an old friend and the joy they brought to your life. You can get one RIGHT NOW! drewxdeficit.bigcartel.com 001
Drew Maxey is a writer @drewxdeficit.bsky.social · 24/06/2026Another day, another batch of mini-comics to assemble and ship. The people love left-wing vigilantes. 110
Drew Maxey is a writer @drewxdeficit.bsky.social · 18/06/2026Hey! Did you know I launched a webstore for my mini-comics? And that you could use that webstore to make my mini-comics your mini-comics? They’re handmade, DIY, zine-style, and violent, political, and cathartic. drewxdeficit.bigcartel.com 022
Drew Maxey is a writer @drewxdeficit.bsky.social · 26/05/2026Sometimes I remember that everything I know about being creative comes from the punk scene. Related: here are my handmade, DIY mini-comics starring my Lefty Punisher character (who needs a real name). 111

Drew Maxey is a writer @drewxdeficit.bsky.social · 26/02/2026I have this character I revisit every time something in the world pisses me off. He's a violent, angry, brutal vigilante who is, for all intents and purposes, The Punisher but explicitly left wing. First page of the new one below.

Drew Maxey is a writer @drewxdeficit.bsky.social · 27/09/2025"The Golden Age" Art by Andrew Brown I love writing superheroes doing normal, everyday stuff, liking trying on an old suit while reminiscing. Maybe I'm too influenced by Astro City? 020

Drew Maxey is a writer @drewxdeficit.bsky.social · 07/07/2025As a comic fan who also loves Final Fantasy, I think often about the canceled FF comic that was to be written by Kurt Busiek and published by Disney (with covers by Mike Mignola). 020
Drew Maxey is a writer @drewxdeficit.bsky.social · 05/07/2025I should've posted this yesterday, but I didn't think about it until now, so, y'know. 040

Drew Maxey is a writer @drewxdeficit.bsky.social · 21/03/2025As a musician and a comic book writer, I’m combining what I know into a free “demo” of my work that will, hopefully, get me some more work. I’ll be at C2E2 if you’re looking to snag one. (Not final cover) 261
Drew Maxey is a writer @drewxdeficit.bsky.social · 11/03/2025It’s been two years of Justice League: Cosmic Chaos, the video game I co-wrote for @dccomicsreal.bsky.social and @phlcollective.bsky.social. It was my first time playing with the DC characters, and my Secret Six holiday story came directly from it. I hope to see you all in future DC work soon! 090

Drew Maxey is a writer @drewxdeficit.bsky.social · 07/02/2025New band has an LP coming out on War Records later this year. Go pick it up when it does. Come see us if you’re near one of these cities next week. We can talk about comics. 161
Drew Maxey is a writer @drewxdeficit.bsky.social · 26/01/2025I don’t really talk about band stuff, but if you’re also interested in hardcore, come see my band in these cities next month: 051
Drew Maxey is a writer @drewxdeficit.bsky.social · 21/01/2025I don’t know if I can post the rest of this story on bluesky. It is not subtle. It’s gory and frightening and perfectly encompasses my feelings, which are neither pretty nor nuanced. 030
Drew Maxey is a writer @drewxdeficit.bsky.social · 14/01/2025Hiya, #PortfolioDay! My name’s Drew, and I’m an up-and-coming comic writer.

Drew Maxey is a writer @drewxdeficit.bsky.social · 07/01/2025My buddy @xpaytheprice.bsky.social recently found this letter of Steve Ditko dunking on Donald Trump, and I think it’s the second coolest thing Ditko ever made. The first is The Question. 041
Drew Maxey is a writer @drewxdeficit.bsky.social · 30/12/2024Jason Momoa as Lobo in the DCU, huh? I wrote Lobo once. It was easily the most fun I've ever had writing a character. My version is essentially Macho Man in space, and the voice actor did not disappoint. Hell yeah. Go play Justice League: Cosmic Chaos to see the lil main man in action. 020
Drew Maxey is a writer @drewxdeficit.bsky.social · 29/12/2024With all the #SecretSix news lately, don't forget to check out my & Marianna Ignazzi's short "Secret Santa" in DC's Batman Smells, Robin Laid an Egg & get hyped for @nicoleamaines.bsky.social & Stephen Segovia to show us their new series. And if you read it, what'd you think? Like it? Hate it? 2193
Drew Maxey is a writer @drewxdeficit.bsky.social · 29/12/2024The Deviant from @jamesthefourth.bsky.social and Joshua Hixson is one of my favorite horror books I have ever read. It feels deeply personal but appeals to a wide audience, and that is not an easy feat. Just fantastic work from everyone involved. 110
Drew Maxey is a writer @drewxdeficit.bsky.social · 29/12/2024I cannot impress upon everyone how much I just love @gwillow.me and @marciotakara.bsky.social's Poison Ivy. Every single issue pulls me in. It's been great watching the book evolve since issue one. The current arc has me hyped. 3314
Drew Maxey is a writer @drewxdeficit.bsky.social · 29/12/2024Absolute Batman from @ssnyder1835.bsky.social and @nickdragotta.bsky.social has everything you want from the character while being full of surprises The same is true of Absolute Wonder Woman from @kellythompson.bsky.social & Hayden Sherman AND Absolute Superman from Jason Aaron & Rafa Sandoval 111
Drew Maxey is a writer @drewxdeficit.bsky.social · 29/12/2024Another X-book, X-Factor by @manruss.bsky.social and Bob Quinn is everything I love about Mark Russell's writing: a critique of celebrity and corporate culture wrapped inside a blockbuster story. Hell yeah. 120
Drew Maxey is a writer @drewxdeficit.bsky.social · 29/12/2024Uncanny X-Men from @gailsimone.bsky.social & @davidmarquez.bsky.social is a wonderful ensemble book that hits everything it needs to and then some. It's so much fun. 2827
Drew Maxey is a writer @drewxdeficit.bsky.social · 29/12/2024For now I'm just gonna hype up the cool stuff people should be reading: Spectrum by @rickquinn.bsky.social & @davechisholmcomics.com is bonkers in the best way. I was hooked into issue 1 and will be absolutely mainlining the rest. 494

They missed us, too. Script by me, art by Marianna Ignazzi, colors by Giovanna Niro, letters by Pat Brosseau 030
Drew Maxey is a writer @drewxdeficit.bsky.social · 06/12/2024People have responded so nicely to our Secret Six story. S/o to everyone involved for making it happen. Extra big s/o to @gailsimone.bsky.social & @nicolascottart.bsky.social for the original Secret Six series because it made me love Bane. Here’s me in my classroom holding the fruits of that labor! 050
