This is also how I feel about streaming vs the magic of going to the vhs/dvd rental shops.

Thank you so much! Travis is a dear friend and I'm excited to still be partnering with him via @whalebacker.bsky.social as we revitalize Source Point Press. :)

Lookin' good!

In case you missed the news, SOURCE POINT PRESS is now fully back, under new management, and looking forward by going back to our roots. Read (and listen) about it in this Exclusive Announcement with Comicon: comicon.com/2025/07/21/e...

Believe the hype: FANTASTIC FOUR is one of the best Marvel films to date. I'm blown away by how much I enjoyed it. 10/10, no notes, as it's dang near perfect. Go see it in 3-D if you can!

This weekend I'm making my debut at MOTOR CITY NIGHTMARES! It's been a bit since I've done a convention in Novi, Michigan, so I look forward to seeing a lot of old friends! C'mon out to treat yourself to some great horror swag including the debut of the LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT graphic novel, too!

This is a snapshot of what 21 years of selling your work at comic conventions looks like... and also a reminder that you don't need to keep more than a few lanyards in your possession, comic con friends. Seriously... purge them! You'll feel better!

I had a great interview about my career and upcoming guest appearance at CAPITAL CITY COMIC CON this weekend... and, yes, the Ed Gorey story is 100% legit. Check it out and c'mon out to Lansing, Michigan for the show this weekend if you can!

If you're current or even lapsed MCU fan, don't sleep on IRONHEART...

Thank you, Black Sabbath.

Block early and often. Access to your social media -- and YOU, for that matter -- is a privilege, not a right.

That moment you realize you're only six graphic novels away from filling a classic spinner rack with your own books...

Ummm... YES PLEASE!

If you're going to be on Facebook tomorrow at 9:30 PM EST, join me for this online viewing event as a special guest for a paranormal investigation at the Michigan Museum of Horror!

Haha! Thank you! My goal with LOVE STORIES ABOUT DEATH was to get people in the feels with every story... and then just rip people's hearts out with that bonus prose finale. ;)

And here's the direct link to make it even easier: www.RingoAwards.com

I'm not one to chase awards, but if you feel our team on HOMESTEAD earned the opportunity to be nominated in this year's Ringo Awards we would all most sincerely appreciate you taking a minute or two to use this graphic as your guide to help us get on the ballot in these categories. Thanks all!

I'm only one and a half chapters into this book (graciously sent to me by @joshmalerman.bsky.social -- thanks, dude!) and I can already tell this is going to not only be one I'll be rereading often, but that it's also going to be a game-changer for any creative who reads it! I'm smitten!

Haha! Thank you so much, dude! I really appreciate the kind words!

Did I make a day trip to Traverse City just for the @dirkmanning.bsky.social / @joshmalerman.bsky.social panel at Cherry Capital Comic Con? Maybe...

Happy World Goth Day to my fellow children of the night! You are seen, cherished, and never alone in the dark.

ACTION COMICS #775 for sure.
