More big news for Showdown!!!

@emeraldcitycon.bsky.social Artist Alley J-22! With @davewielgosz.bsky.social next door even.

First day of Emerald City Comic Con! Come on down to Artist Alley Table J21, I’ve got great books, a solid signature and a sterling personality.

Enjoying Cable TV in a hotel room, a Family Guy marathon is about to pivot into a Futurama marathon. Here’s looking at you, @andykhouri.bsky.social

Come by Artist Alley table J21 tomorrow-Sunday at Emerald City Comic Con to meet me, my work, get signatures and find out what from Showdown I have at my table!

That's three for three on Vertigo #1 sellouts.. thank you to all the retailers and fans who've gotten behind these books, it genuinely means more than you know!

The B-Fighter/B-Fighter Kabuto/Beetle Borgs/Beetle Borgs Metallix suits were SICK.

I will go into more detail as the weeks go on but the people at @ignitionpress.bsky.social are incredible. They are so serious about supporting Showdown (And all the comics they do) and move heaven and Earth to be kind to their creators. I'm very fortunate to be working with them.

This week's episode of Off Panel is a special one, one that was recorded live at ComicsPRO, and it finds @comicsbeat.bsky.social's @comixace.bsky.social and Lunar Distribution/DCBS' Christina Merkler joining me for a conversation about ComicsPRO vibes, our read on the world of comics, and more.

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!

We are five weeks out from the F.O.C date on Showdown #1 by me, @taddgalusha.bsky.social, @claytoncowles.bsky.social, and @treecolour.bsky.social. The comic is looking AWESOME. And it's hard to believe it just started off in this notebook. Put in your orders by 4/6/26 to see how it evolved!

This is now THIS WEEKEND. If you're going to be at Emerald City Comic Con this weekend come by Artist Alley Table J-21 and meet me! Get some book signs, get some new books, ask me some DC history questions, ask me about the filmography of great American character actors, whatever you want.

Borat: Subsequent Movie Film, and Tenet.

Hey man, some days I watch prestige television, other days I watch YouTube compilations of Bob Odenkirk swearing on Mr. Show.

@taddgalusha.bsky.social is my collaborator and co-creator on Showdown and the work he's doing is brilliant. His character work is out of this world, and he's rendered this small New England City/Town with the weight and scope of a classic Western. You're going to be a big fan of his.

Tatjana Wood colored a number of seminal DC Comics. I recognized her name from when I was younger but when doing research for New History of the DCU her work and name were constants. A massive loss, a body of work that will be eternal and should always be celebrated.

I love writing, and I try to work in a way where I spend the least amount of time at the keyboard possible, but sometimes...it is just a lot of typing.

Hey...do you live in LA and want to meet some great comic creators on Saturday 3/14? Then come out to @tfaw.bsky.social at Universal City from 4PM-6PM and meet some of the writers from DC's Supergirl Next Door and get their signatures, including ME! It's going to be awesome.

Hey, are you going to Emerald City Comic Con next week? I am! I will be in Artist Alley at Table J-21 all weekend and you should stop by. And you know who is going to be next to me at table J-22? The great, and Eisner Award-winning @chrisrobinson.info. It's going to be an awesome weekend, swing by!

For Dwayne, Denys, Derek, Michael, and Priest. We poured our hearts & souls onto these pages. Dreams may sometimes be deferred. But they never die. You cannot destroy an idea. New History of the DCU: The Dakota Incident is out NOW. If you're not there, you just won't get it.

Basically every episode of Justice League Unlimited rules, Patriot Act ESPECIALLY rules.

Everything about this is perfect. deadline.com/2026/02/jake...

Crime 101 ruled. Between this and The Rip I’ve had two delightful, well done, propulsive crime thrillers. I’m a happy camper.

this one has THE STUFF!

I’m a massive Superman fan. And a massive fan of this whole creative team. Superman: Father of Tomorrow is going to be a can’t miss title. You’re going to love it.

Oh. And our letterer is @claytoncowles.bsky.social, only one of the best in the industry! And the colors are by the brilliant @treecolour.bsky.social. The creative team on Showdown is a knockout!!!

Look, ma! I made a cover!

Next up, Dave Wielgosz with his first creator-owned book, SHOWDOWN, a five issue series with art by Tadd Galusha. A neo-western revenge story about a woman who comes back to town to fight the man who forced her to leave town the first time.

See you tomorrow!

If you pick up the DC W.I.P edition of Dark Nights: Metal #1 today, you may see a little passage written by me about how it ruled to work on the project and see Capullo & Glapion's pages come in on the book. Amazing to get to see both of their work this way!
