Kenny Porter - Writer

🧛‍♂️💥🚂

Thank you so much for the kind words, John! The support you guys have given me has been incredible.

I’m on a writing group with Kenny, and we know he’s an idea machine, so many killer stories in production and development. But the one everyone in the writing group was SUPER excited for was this. The concept immediately makes you grin, but the execution is so much better. A really special comic.

I've been on team @kennyporter.bsky.social for years. He's a great writer, immensely imaginative, wonderfully collaborative, and an A+ dude who has written one of his best books yet with this one. And @tcannoncomics.bsky.social is going to be your new favorite comic artist. Mark my words.

Mark your calendars are prepare to tell your LCS's about one of your favorite comics of 2026 OPERATION: IRON COFFIN Written by @kennyporter.bsky.social and Art by @tcannoncomics.bsky.social Dracula VS Nazi's in WWII. The kind of pulpy action horror comics does best. Coming your way July 2026!

And don't forget to bow for the King in THE EXORCISM AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE...the sequel to the critically-acclaimed Exorcism at 1600 Penn. Continuing the tale is writer @hannahrosemay.bsky.social being joined by Kelsey Ramsay & Heather Breckel!

What this book presupposes is…maybe they did?

The New Space Age #1 Main Cover by Mike Becker

The New Space Age #1 Variant Cover by Khary Randolph.

The New Space Age #1 Variant Cover by Daniel Warren Johnson.

When The New Space Age #1 by @kennyporter.bsky.social and @mikejbecker.bsky.social comes out in December, it's going to knock you guys out. It has the wonder of space of the New Frontier, the magic of an early Vertigo book, and a heart that only these two could deliver. It RULES, you can't miss it.

One of my fave parts of working with @madcavestudios.com on Orla! has been feeling like I'm part of a moment, being on a roster with some incredible creators putting out stellar work. And @kennyporter.bsky.social is one of my fave people in comics. All I've seen of The New Space Age looks stunning.

Kenny Porter and Mike Becker launch ‘The New Space Age’ (AIPT Exclusive) It's basically

🚀 AIPT EXCLUSIVE: Writer @kennyporter.bsky.social & artist @mikejbecker.bsky.social launch The New Space Age at @madcavestudios.com — described as “‘Flight of the Navigator’ for a new era.”

Hope, grief, UFOs, & magic-fueled space travel collide. Full reveal + interview by @chriscoplan.bsky.social:

I just realized that essentially the pitch for the Leonardo DiCaprio version of Romeo and Juliet is “what if ‘Romeo and Juliet’ had guns?”

Kenny is good people. And also a great writer who has so much cool stuff on the horizon.

I got to read an early preview of Orla! by @johnlees.bsky.social @sallycantirino.bsky.social @dearbhlala.bsky.social and @letteringbear.bsky.social from @madcavestudios.com — it’s fantastic! A throwback to classic romance comics with a horror twist. FOC is July 14th—preorder at your shop!

I just read NEWS FROM THE FALLOUT by @christophcondon.bsky.social and Jeffery Alan Love. So damn good! Make sure to head to your comic shop this week and grab a copy from @imagecomics.com! (Also, call to place an order at Old Joe’s Restaurant if you dare.)

one of the most incomprehensible to me things that a lot of people appear to believe about pop culture is that a bad movie can be made good if its supplementary material is good, or that it is somehow OK to make a movie that demands you to watch hours of other material to make sense

Give Up (Deluxe 10th Anniversary Edition), by The Postal Service 25 track album

Great listen for a rainy morning thepostalservice.bandcamp.com/album/give-u...

Early morning reading with Spider-Man 2099. I read random issues of this as a kid, but this is the first time I’ve ever gone through the whole thing. I honestly really dig the unique character traits of Miguel O’Hara and the strange version of the future it presents.

MM..FOOD (20 Year Anniversary Edition), by MF DOOM 26 track album

Great way to start the day — mfdoom.bandcamp.com/album/mm-foo...

Writing comics this morning! Working on a new project that I’m really excited about.
