I’m friends with someone I just voted for being in the Eisner Hall of Fame, today. What is this life?

Alright. I'm officially done with JSA: Year One. As a fan of these characters, it's been a dream getting to spend so much time with them over the last year. It's always a bittersweet leaving a book, and it still is here, but boy, I'm happy to be back to only 1 monthly title.

Got a chance to read the first issue of @ryannorth.ca @gavinguidry.bsky.social and #AdrianoLucas' Flash and it's smart, funny, sweet, and exciting. North bring some much-needed juice to The Flash and Guidry's art is more than up for the challenge. Loved it.

Oh no.

I hope you nerds appreciate that I’m a stubborn enough lunatic to ink this ripple effect in JSA by hand.

In honor of today being FOC for the first issue of our new run, THE FLASH 31, the folks at DC gave me the all clear to share some images pulled from my original design sheet. @ryannorth.ca and I hope you take the ride with us! Tell you your local comic shop to reserve a copy for you today!

Unfortunately, I’m buried under my last double deadline for JSA and Flash, so I have to cancel my appearance at Emerald City Comic Con next week. I love the show and the city, so I’m pretty bummed, but the work is the work! Hope everyone has a good show and I’ll be back soon!

Can't wait to see this foil variant in person.

First look at Flash 31 with the brand new corner box and full trade dress.

Thanks! Speaking of, I had a chance to read a sneak peek of @ryannorth.ca’s first issue of Flash with @gavinguidry.bsky.social Don’t miss it, people! Starting in Flash #31. @gavinguidry.bsky.social

Seriously, everyone on BSky already knows this but working on the Power Rangers comic book is my literal dream. If anybody knows anybody that's looking for a colorist for any of the new books ... this is the only time I'll ever ask you for a recommendation 💚💚

Fun with shadows.

Crunch.

Got some new paper in the other day. Awesome to see the bullet logo on the boards.

GID-dree Not Goo-dree, Gwi-dree, or Gy-dree. If you can pronounce my name you can also pronounce Rob Guillory’s, and vice versa. Same vowel sound.

Just found out I have an ancestor that died at sea, during the expulsion. Cool cool cool cool coooooooool. Fuck ICE.

So, on my mom’s side, one of her branches, through my Nana is the Dugas family. Turns out they were on the very first ship of Acadians that came to Louisiana in 1765, along side Beausoleil (who I mentioned last time, was an outlaw alongside my dad’s ancestor Pierre Guidry). 1/4

Y’all interested in some more Gavin’s Cajun Lineage Storytime? I’ve got multiple Cajun branches, on both sides, so there’s plenty to explore?

To all the Louisianans still complaining about Bad Bunny singing in Spanish: you better not let me catch y'all shaking y'all narrow asses to Cajun or Zydeco at the next Parish Fair.

So, through this recent (re)digging into family history, I found out that there are less records of my ancestors in Nova Scotia than other Acadians cause we were a “vagabond family” that didn’t stay in major villages, electing instead to live in more mixed communities with the Mi’kmaq, like LaHave.

I think an important indictment on the ability/quality of GenAI is that none of their multiple ads were made by AI.

Congrats to the Seattle Seahawks on getting your revenge.

I donated, I hope you do, too.

Just a reminder where I stand on AI and where you should stand! These bloody Super Bowl ads for AI are awful

Live by the Drake Maye, die by the Drake Maye.

I love you Andy Samberg, but it’s Blue Plate or GTFO in my neck of the woods.

Are we in double digits now for the AI ads?

Good lord. That was a great drive.

Trump is a lying asshole anyway. But we’re not gonna sit here and pretend like kids haven’t been seeing suggestive dancing at football games for the last 40+ years. Acting like cheerleading/dancing at professional games is still like this.

Damn. That was executed to perfection.

That looked like another under throw that could’ve been 6.

Based on the last month or so, we knew the Maye turnover was coming. Finally a big play.

Never thought I’d miss the repeated Jesus commercials.

Bacon wrapped pork tenderloin stuffed with andouille and shrimp from Rouse’s is the best part of this game.

Squirtle Squad 4 Life.

My kingdom for some offense. (And I like defensive games)

Darnold has missed some big chances. Overthrew a wide open deep man, underthrow a deep man in coverage, then threw it behind Smith-Njigba. He throws any of these just a little more accurately and they’re up 20-0.

Explicitly rooting for Shaheed and maybe Darnold. And that’s all.

OH SHIT. JEAN-BAPTISTE HAS A WIKI PAGE!! HE TOOK OVER AN ENGLISH SHIP AND WAS TRIED FOR PIRACY! They used his execution as a trial balloon for changing to English Law in the region and as a warning to other Acadians. WTF?! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Ba...

For those interested, I stumbled on this, tonight. Pierre would be my 7th Great Grandfather. Pretty fascinating that he was one of 20 Acadians that rebelled and were outlaws. Also, his brother was hung in Boston!? It's kind of cool seeing his name next to Beausoleil who is a folk hero to Cajuns.

This is why it was so important/exciting for me to get to work with the great @gailsimone.bsky.social on UXM and bring the most authentic voice we could to Gambit inside the existing framework. It's also why I don't want his Cajun heritage stripped from him in adaptations like some have suggested.

For those who don't know, Cajuns as an ethnicity, only exist because in 1755 the English entered Acadia in Nova Scotia and burned villages, destroyed property, and round up more than 80% of the local Acadians, forced them on boats, broke up families, and sent them out to sea. Thousands died. 1/5

January has been a BEAR. Penciled 25 pages and inked 35.

Serious question: Is anybody who looks at this genuinely shocked that it’s not real, or can we all see the uncanny nonsense in it?

What a boost to see this while inking the last handful of pages for issue 32. Like a warm hug in the middle of all of this madness going on. Thank you, Gail!

Got an early look at Flash #31 and damn, what a fun read. @ryannorth.ca fits Flash's tone so well, and @gavinguidry.bsky.social kills it on every page. Adriano Lucas' colours pop, giving the book a vibrant, playful feel. I think this is gonna be the start of a great run. Order cutoff is Feb 3!

We have officially added all 3 released Flash covers to our web store. www.gavinguidry.com/originals

Btw, I’m only complaining cause I live here:
