From selling out of books by Sunday to doing two panels, and spending time with all the comics friends, ComicCon’ing has never looked so good. @rosecitycc.bsky.social, and especially @davidtalaski.bsky.social, thanks for an unforgettable convention weekend. Core memories, stored.

This comic from @thatnormdude.bsky.social and @valhal.bsky.social pulls no punches. A fiercely urgent story about why we fight and how we maintain hope. I'm honored to be bringing it to the world.
