Keep watching the skiiiiis…

Plug-in-un-plug.

FIFFE FILES 5: Keith Giffen’s Independent Years! From his iconic stint at Image to unearthed collaborations, we track his post-DC journey during turbulent times in comics. Not to mention super rare projects, smut, and trading cards; this one’s got something for everybody youtu.be/m5KGQqmR44s

So much of this comic is driven by tapping into moments as a kid. Not so much out of nostalgia, but out of an effort to reconnect with freedom of imagination and play. (Continued in comments)

Almost that time… final order cutoff for Fortress 5 is the 16th. Tell your friend that hasn’t got Fortress on their pull list that they need more pink and green toned cyberpunk tomfoolery in their life. 😘

Fortress issue 5 drops in March. The previews have a slightly different cover, but this is the final art. It’s shaping up to be my favourite issue yet.

A mecha comic but in this art style

Been a little absent from social platforms, but starting to wake from my slumber. I never quite know what to do with Bluesky to be honest haha. Anyway, Fortress 4 has been out for a good month now. It came out ok I think!

🚀 Deep dive alert! @chriscoplan.bsky.social sat down with @strangers.bsky.social to unpack how they’re redefining indie #comics — from bold creator-owned storytelling to the challenges of building a new comics universe. #comicsky 📚✨ Must-read for fans of original voices:

Recent sketch. Thinking of a sticker with this one maybe

Just over a week away now… super excited for you all to read Fortress 4. It’s got some of my favourite work in it so far. Some things I’d like to change too of course, but hey, I’m going for progression not perfection.

This morning I received a fully signed contract for our second manga license! I've been holding on announcing until I've got final covers to share. @joelvdk.bsky.social is designing a great cover for the first and the mangaka for the second title is making a new cover for our release! More soon :)
