Happy National Cat Day

Awesome.

Our next Essential Read is the wonderfully titled Die!Namite: Blood Red #1 from @dynamitecomicshq.bsky.social by @fredvanlente.bsky.social and @marcofinnegan.bsky.social - With femme fatales, sci-fi horror, and pulp noir vibes, this delivers blood-soaked action and intrigue ^KB wp.me/p8WCuG-3OO

Inside me are two wolves.

They are both named Skippy.

It is confusing

No wonder I didn't recognize it! No harm done.

These days I get more engagement on Facebook than on any other site. Which I suppose speaks to the average age of my fanbase more than anything else. I don't care! I'm happy to have 'em

Origins! In Columbus OH

Designing a Halloween puzzle that would change as you built it, along with an integrated podcast, was a challenge. But @ryandunlavey.com nailed it. Here's a glimpse at his process. You can get a puzzle for yourself here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/448...

Currently reading: All New Harbinger #2 by @fredvanlente.bsky.social , Eric Tomayo, Exequiel Fernandez Roel
Really enjoying the start to the series and wasn't familiar with the art team but think they're doing great work and find the new characters pretty interesting .

Delighted and honoured to be in the new A1 Deadline, alongside most excellent and very funny writer @fredvanlente.bsky.social and genius colourist @wordie.bsky.social with our story The Beard (originally published by @brokenfrontier.bsky.social ten years ago).1/2

‘Valiant Beyond: All-New Harbinger’ #2 review Can new Harbinger recruit Chung-Cha Kwan stop Black Sheep when the rest of the team couldn't?

"Black Sheep is a fascinating and brutal villain and the book does a great job giving you the feeling the heroes may not be able to stop them."

Ha! I love The Boys but have not gotten around to that series yet.

Thank you for your service!!

A1 DEADLINE SPECIAL A1 and DEADLINE, two landmark UK comic book publications ARE BACK! The heart of UK counterculture returns to print.

Very proud to be a stray Yank in the A1 DEADLINE SPECIAL w/a story w/my pal @alisonsampson.bsky.social! Check out their Kickstarter, which is already well on its way to its goal: www.kickstarter.com/projects/dee...

Ah, great

Sorry I didn't get back to you! I don't have Blue Sky on my phone and didn't have my computer with me. I don't charge a fee for signatures, but I do invite folks to get a new book or comic at my table.

I just got to take a minute and pint out there @fredvanlente.bsky.social writes a badass Ms Fury

Really looking forward to returning to @baltimorecomiccon.bsky.social this weekend - mostly so I can catch up with everyone I missed in the the utter chaos of NYCC!
@fredvanlente.bsky.social and I will be set up at table 118 - see you there!

NYCC was pretty great (even though it took me two whole days to recover), especially Sunday when I got to hang out with this knucklehead all day. Comic-con just isn't the same without @fredvanlente.bsky.social.

The ravening undead return to resume their feasting upon the living in the newest bloodcurdling chapter

Love these Death Matches... another great read! Since you were talking about Frank Miller's Spider-Man, I highly recommend Amazing Spider-Man annual #14. It features one of my favourite Spider-Man images ever, by Miller with Tom Palmer inks.

Nice! Is this the Dr Strange one?

If only I could draw a salary

My first ever published book! It'd be an honor.

Awesome!
