I really dug phase two of the DeMultiverse by @jmdematteis.bsky.social! Once again all the stories are great but this time around Godsend really grabbed me with its various twists and turns. I'm sure everyone is saying this, but I'm ready for phase three!

Final DeMultiverse orders are out the door! Unless some backers complete their BackerKit survey, or some new sales come in, THAT'S A WRAP on Phase 2. If you want to buy anything, I still have every book (#1 & 2) available in our BackerKit store (link below). Thank you, everyone!

From @spellboundcomics.bsky.social The Edward Gloom Mysteries #2 by @jmdematteis.bsky.social @gogtzilas.bsky.social @eduke.bsky.social . Insanely cool Wein/Wrightson Swamp Thing vibe. A deformed erudite protagonist in Victorian England runs from his creator while pursuing romance with a ghost.

It looks as though the second issues of the @spellboundcomics.bsky.social published DeMultiverse comics aren’t too far away, in the scheme of things, and I said that I’d do an A-Comic-A-Day about each of the first issues before that, so let’s get to the last of them, Layla in the Lands of After.

Sorry, I didn’t mean to imply that HE says to write what comes naturally. Just that his take supports my belief about my own process. I naturally have a point when telling a story. Trying to ascribe more than that always felt foreign, so I didn’t. Now I’ll feel less inferior—and guilty—about it.

Spellbound Comics @spellboundcomics.bsky.social · 11/04/2025

…the writer has, as you say, strayed from the overall intent. Anyway, thanks for chiming in.

Spellbound Comics @spellboundcomics.bsky.social · 11/04/2025

…This is the first time I’ve read a book on craft that supported my personal belief to ignore theme and just write what comes natural as a storyteller. Good is good, even if you can’t quite articulate why that is. And if it’s not good, whether you realize it or not, it may well be because…

Spellbound Comics @spellboundcomics.bsky.social · 11/04/2025

…dots through their own POVs. Dots writers may never even have intended. And that’s the joy of reading and, separately, processing writing. The constant teachings of theme as a requirement for good writing always left me feeling inadequate as a writer…

Spellbound Comics @spellboundcomics.bsky.social · 11/04/2025

Thank you. I just reread it and I think you’re spot on. The reason I was interested in reading it is because I’ve always struggled, as a writer, with the notion of theme. As a reader, it’s much easier, but I’ve always attributed that to readers connecting…

Spellbound Comics @spellboundcomics.bsky.social · 11/04/2025

Was wondering if you would be so kind as to distill your take of what theme is, as you came to understand it from the book. 🙏🏻 (2/2)

Spellbound Comics @spellboundcomics.bsky.social · 11/04/2025

@kurtbusiek.bsky.social Based on a recent Skeet of yours, I purchased McCormack’s FICTION EDITOR to read about theme. I enjoyed his takedowns of textbook-teaching on the subject, and I do feel I gained new clarity on what theme isn’t, but don’t feel I left with your same clarity on what it IS. (1/2)

The first DeMULTIVERSE trade definitely gets better with each re-read. I enjoyed LAYLA IN THE LANDS OF AFTER and ANYMAN right off the bat, but I appreciate GODSEND and WISDOM a whole lot more now. Can't wait for volume two, @jmdematteis.bsky.social and @spellboundcomics.bsky.social!
