Last month, we refurbished 10 tennis courts in Crotona Park — the only public tennis courts in the Bronx with lights for night play. We stopped by recently to see how things were going. Thank you to NYJTL, USTA and Yonex for helping us deliver high-quality public spaces that New Yorkers deserve.

See Orion! His rage here dulled by a more gripping emotion—shame!! For only he knows the outer reaches of his destruction... ...and what it feels to be of DARKSEID!!! 🔥 #orion #orion2026

Orion looks down at a Mother Box-created vision of himself as a baby held by his mother.

Orion attacks the vision, dispelling the image.

Orion falls to his knees and covers his face.

As a huge fan of Jack Kirby and the Fourth World Saga, Orion by @ngoziu.com is incredible much like her previous GN Barda. She understands the character of Orion so well and crafts a story that is worthy of the King himself. It’s beautiful and it made me cry.

Also, huge shout out to @charmgardens.com who seriously pinch hit and colored several pages in ORION! You absolutely rocked it. (They also worked on BUNT by me and @madrupert.bsky.social!)

Two comic pages colored by K Czap with vibrant colors. This one has lots of purples and fuschias and glowing oranges—the last panel especially has fun and vibrant lighting.

This next page features Kalibak battling Orion over the fire pits and has deep red-oranges but also bright yellow-whites as the flames overtake Orion and Kalibak fires his glowing Beta Club at him.

ORION (2026) is my latest comic and book #2 in @dc.com's Fourth World series for young readers! I'm starting a casual thread to talk about my ideas/the process that went into writing and drawing this project. 🌞

Three books laid out on a rug. They overlap each other. The first is an omnibus of New Gods by Jack Kirby with Orion on the cover in the heat of battle, the second is Old Gods & New by John Morrow which has a CMYK color palette and features a heroic figure stretching their arms, and third ORION by Ngozi Ukazu, a YA graphic novel which shows Orion walking toward the viewer taking off his helmet.

I HAVE HEARD THE WORD... ORION, my second graphic novel with DC Comics, is out in bookshops & comic book stores EVERYWHERE! ☀️

The cover of the graphic novel ORION, which is the sequel to BARDA, by New York Times bestselling creator of Check, Please! Ngozi Ukazu. It's a yellow cover and white cover and in the center, wearing a red jacket, is ORION the titular character. He walks toward the viewer while putting on a silver helmet and has an intense focused expression. The title ORION is hand-written across his torso, and colored with a blue-teal gradient. Yellow and white Kirby dots appear around the edge of the cover and flow toward Orion.

big update coming tomorrow! stay tuned~ #sweetrevenge #graphicnovel #comics

A cut-out sticker-decorated photograph of a blonde teen. He's sticking out his tongue & giving a peace sign. The stickers on the photo read "heartbreaker."

Narration: This is Shayan Santarrosa.

A kodak disposable camera & a roll of fujifilm border several photos of Shayan, both bigger prints & Instax print-outs. He's holding a little dog in one. He's aura farming in another. They're all taken by the narrator.

Narration: But, as luck would have it, six months ago...
Shayan left.

A house in the nighttime. This is where our story begins.
Narration: Leaving a void...

In the bathroom of the house. A short androgynous character takes a picture of herself in the mirror with a kodak disposable camera. She has floppy blonde hair & wears a blue sweater vest exactly like the one worn by Shayan.

Narration: For ME to fill.
Alex, Junior. Winking & sticking out her tongue with a peace sign. She looks identical to Shayan on the previous page.
