AMELIA: 🎶Everybody get up, it's time to slam now! We got a real jam goin' down! 🎶 ME: Are you singing the song from SPACE JAM? AMELIA: You know this song!? ME: Do not quote the Deep Magic to me. I was there when it was written.

❤️ sweater weather 💚

Finished the final edits to CLAYMORE, and now it's off to the printer!

SIX MORE HOURS!!

Hey if you like cool comics with dope art and rad writing, today's a GREAT WEDNESDAY to pick up Batman/Deadpool #1 from your local shop AND back the CLAYMORE comic Kickstarter these fine folks are running:

Better late than never! CLAYMORE (brought to you by myself, @lengog.bsky.social, @kinmeran.bsky.social, @maydaytrippe.bsky.social, @charliemcelvy.bsky.social) has three days to find its funding. Let's do this. www.kickstarter.com/projects/xio...

The only image I had of Claymore when I was writing it was his silhouette: A man in a long coat, wide-brimmed hat, and a six-foot long claymore strapped to his back. I traced Wyatt Earp’s silhouette from TOMBSTONE, added the sword, and sent it to @lengog.bsky.social

A small peek at our process! From @tsfogg.bsky.social's script to @kinmeran.bsky.social's colours! Get your hands on the first issue of the fantasy western series The Monster Hunter Called CLAYMORE on Kickstarter! Only 7 days left 🗡️🗡️ www.kickstarter.com/projects/xio...

8 Days till we head off into the West to fight monsters and myths! Who's with us? www.kickstarter.com/projects/xio...

CLAYMORE is on Kickstarter — but not for much longer! We have 9 days and a little ways to go. But we can do it! Let’s fight some monsters and myths in the West! #comics #monsters #strangerthings

Ten days to go! www.kickstarter.com/projects/xio...

I agree that Bond belongs to everyone. But I don't think that should make him immortal. Every Bond we've ever had was adapted for the times we lived in. It was fitting for Craig's Bond to have a beginning, middle, and end.

JUST ADDED!! You can get a copy of CLAYMORE with a sketch of one of the main characters on the cover! There are only six available, so snag them now before they go away forever! www.kickstarter.com/projects/xio...

ATTENTION ART COLLECTORS!! Now's your chance to get some original art from the CLAYMORE team! There are six new tiers that have opened up. Three for Len Gogou and three for Alessandro Aroffu.

Reminder that, unless a creative freelancer has a spouse with a day job that offers health insurance, they likely have an ACA plan. And with the hits to creative industries the past few years, I'm guessing many qualify for subsidies. Related reminder that comic creators are freelancers.

BACKED! Monsters and swords in a Western - not a bad way to start the day! Check out this awesome book from @charliemcelvy.bsky.social @tsfogg.bsky.social & Xion Studios on @kickstarter.com now! Only days left on the campaign.

"Many of you fuckers will sit for hours on end with nary an absinthe drip in sight. Don’t you unimpeachable geniuses know that the service industry is all about turnover?"

If you turned every stick you found into a sword growing up, this comic is for you.

I really wanted our comic to have an incredible logo. Something fresh and new, something that stood out, and somehow capture the vibe of the book. So of course there was only one person I could call: @maydaytrippe.bsky.social. And of course they delivered. To see more, visit the link below!

Over 50% funded!! The latest project from @tsfogg.bsky.social via Xion Studios featuring monster hunters, faeries, stone golems, werewolves, and… the American Wild West?? Oh, yeah! Check it out: www.kickstarter.com/projects/xio...

I was talking to Bridgit Conell at #HeroesCon two years ago, telling her about the fantasy western I was working on, and she said, "you know who would absolutely k!ll a variant cover for you? Alessandro Aroffu." She was absolutely right. Grab a copy of his creepy cover while you still can!

Every story I write begins with the question, "what do I want to say? What do people need to hear?" CLAYMORE, my comic that is now on Kickstarter, responded, "you're not born a monster. You choose to be one."

WE'RE HALFWAY THERE!!

Who else noticed this?

What is CLAYMORE?

I finished my description of Hannah with, “basically we’re going to find out what it would have been like if Lizzy Caplan played Marion Ravenwood.” @lengogart understood the assignment — which, honestly, is my review of every page Len drew. The art of CLAYMORE blows me away.

I told Len Gogou to imagine someone Kurt Russell or Harrison Ford would have played in the 80’s. I wanted someone who looked like he would keep getting back up, despite how many times he got hit. Len sent me this and I knew this book was in good hands. (Link below to see more!)

I described Skye as having “red hair and mockingbird wings that she can use to make a dress so as not to offend our delicate human sensibilities,” and Len Gogou sent back this feisty little creation. She damn near steals the whole book!

Have you checked out the latest campaign from Xion Studios? @tsfogg.bsky.social created CLAYMORE, a monster hunter who is cursed with seeing the beasts, but only when blindfolded! Team him up with a foul-mouthed faerie and a golem and let the adventure begin! www.kickstarter.com/projects/xio...

I understand how it may have rubbed some people the wrong way, but I just finished reading HEROES IN CRISIS and found it profoundly moving. There was a lot in it that *I* needed to hear.

People often ask where all my story ideas come from. Get a little insight into the process in my latest substack post, "The Story of The Story of Claymore." scottfogg.substack.com/p/the-story-...

Every time the static of the HBO logo fades, I still expect to hear the theme from Deadwood.

It's funny how vaccines worked so well that now infant mortality is low enough for all the new generations to forget it was ever a common thing. Vaccine stability has made us forget why it was so important in the first place. Before vaccines, 450 children died out of every 1000. Now? 20.

I sincerely love a nine panel grid of talking heads. I do. It excites me to turn the page and find one. But please, if you’re going to do two back-to-back please create a visual cue as to where my eyes are supposed to go. I can’t tell if this is a double page spread or not.

The wonderful Laurie Calcaterra featured me on The Tuesday Morning Brew today. We chat about my book from @ncte.org, & shout out @yesthatkristian.bsky.social, @tsfogg.bsky.social, @davechisholmcomics.com, @chriskemple.bsky.social, and @andrewaydin.bsky.social m.youtube.com/watch?v=ESAr... C
