In stores now!

have you checked out Something Beyond the Petrichor yet? Releasing with #Red5comics this spring in your #LCS

Temporarily shelved pitch time! “Dimensions Disturbed” is a reverse D&D series with kids from a fantasy world discovering that they’re characters in a tabletop RPG. Pencils and inks: @sethdamoose.bsky.social Colors: @treecolour.bsky.social Letters: @micahmyers.bsky.social

The real “Dakota Incident” will be when @dc.com hires me to write a single issue and it leads to a longstanding creative relationship. I doubt that would get its own History of the DC Universe one shot, though.

Shares appreciated!

Issue 2 of Something Beyond the Petrichor is back in comic stores on February 11th! Find out what’s next for Jocelyn and her talking stuffed turtle Quigley after surviving an encounter with a Bible Belt cryptid.

With #marvel and @dc.com making big shifts, it’s a great time to remind the comic-sphere that I’m open and available for work. I’m an award-winning graphic novelist whose newest release is getting a hugely positive critical response. Publishers, I’d love to work on your IP!

…and I’m so sorry.

Happy #portfolioday Dakota Brown here, writer of the 2024 CBR ComiCrown winner for Best Original Graphic Novel “Death Comes for the Toymaker” (@magmacomix.bsky.social), “Grandma Tilly’s Hell-Tech Mech”, and “Something Beyond the Petrichor” (#red5comics) Open for work!

My son’s new Duplo set wants to remind you that midterms aren’t far away.

Growing up in the 80s and early 90s, I never understood the over-the-top villains on TV who had the confidence to call themselves “evil” or “bad”. But it’s become apparent in the last decade or so that villains get to oppress because they convince the people that they enjoy being oppressed.

some panels from Something Beyond the Petrichor #1 re-launching in comic stores January 15th!! So ask your #LCS for it if they don't already carry Red 5 Comics pretty please 🥹 They can search the Lunar disto catalogue for the title! Simple as that ;) #comicsky #red5comics #neridacomic

"Something Beyond the Petrichor" is about a lot of things. It stars a young woman and her talking stuffed turtle travelling a landscape destroyed by acid rain and full of monsters, but is truly about one thing: finding your place in a world you didn't build. Issue 1 is back in stores on 1/14/26.

Leslie Jordan (R.I.P.) spoke at the graduation of my theatre conservatory class and made me touch his Emmy. The award had broken in half after years of making people touch it. (He was genuinely as sweet and funny as he appeared to be on tv and in interviews.)

Did you see issue 4 in your comic store this week?

I know a lot is going on, but I would really appreciate a share. I'm still waiting on a check and I'm wrapping up the rest of my small gigs this week. If you need any art and you like what I do, please consider contacting me. I'd like to think my budget is reasonable, and I put out some good art

Enjoy this rare hatless pic of my tired-but-trying hairline.

Feeling a bit behind lately. Not sure if it’s because of a bankrupt comic distributor, poor social media use, or general lack of reader interest, but I seem to have gone from “Writer of 2024’s Best Original Graphic Novel” to “Owner of World’s Emptiest Email Inbox” within a year.

I’d love this to be under every comic reader’s tree this holiday. Can you help spread the word with a share?

Available now for preorder! Tell your LCS!

When “Something Beyond the Petrichor” was originally conceived, my son was on the way and I wanted to leave him a message that he could hold in his hands and remember when he flipped through his dad’s silly book.

I’d love to get a copy in @realgdt.bsky.social’s hands. I feel like it’s right up his alley!
