This would be amazing.

Thanks, John! They said '90s-Retro-Marvel-Capcom-mashup' and my sweaty teen subconscious went into a fugue state.

Thanks, Marc! The game is killer.

I also did some animation keyframing for a couple of the characters' movesets. Really happy with the Black Panther keys- it's just fun to see my poses running around on screen (and he moves like a ninja)!

More of my MARVEL COSMIC INVASION cutscene art! I drew it intentionally for pixellation, so the colours and shapes are simplified and easy to read. Love the way they turned out!
The game came out yesterday from @tributegames.com and @dotemu.bsky.social and it's everything I could have imagined.

Knowing @yannickbelzil.bsky.social as I do, Iโ€™m kind of surprised Darkhawk wasnโ€™t in there.

Hey, all! Marvel Cosmic Invasion came out today, made by my pals at Tribute Games. I had the pleasure of drawing all the cutscene art for it and I canโ€™t wait to play the finished game.

This issue is a big one for Olive.

This is awesome. Did you code that dialog system yourself? Iโ€™ve been tinkering with Godot a bit after a little experience with Unity, but Iโ€™m not naturally โ€˜goodโ€™ at it. I just love learning and building stuff.

I definitely had a knee-jerk anger reaction when I posted that. Once I cooled off I realized there were other avenues I could explore that might still be enjoyable. Iโ€™ll go back and explore some more. Thanks for the thoughtful replies!

I know this cover is weird and off-putting, but it's also one of my favourites. To me, the swapping of Scott Free and Orion as babies is the core of the New Gods. It's biblical. It's Shakespearean. It's epic. Kirby was amazing.

Like, literally every time I turn it off, I feel much less happy than when I started. Imagine if you walked out of EVERY movie feeling worse than when you went in?
Anyway, that's my dumb rant over.

I think I'm done with Silksong. I want to love this game and explore its environments, but it's too deliberately infuriating. Hollow Knight was difficult but perfectly tuned and it made me WANT to get better at it. Silksong just makes me want to uninstall it. I leave every play session resentful.

Did you know that I do a YouTube show about comics? Andy Belanger and I gush about the comics we love at our studio bar and sometimes interview fellow comic creators!

Finished putting together my new Sketchbook. Right now it's only available through Backerkit, but I'll eventually have it in my online store. 36 pages of art and process sketches!

Gotham Academy: First Year #2 is absolutely MAGICAL!

This new series is just as captivating and gorgeously told as its predecessors! Seeing @brendenfletcher.bsky.social, @beckycloonan.bsky.social @karlkerschl.bsky.social Marco Ferriera, Eva de la Cruz & Steve Wands tell GA's origins is a treat!
