My latest interview talking about THE WINTERFIELDS, a Harlem Renaissance crime noir story created with @chriscross.bsky.social by FairSquare Graphics, and BLOODLETTER, a mystic revenge series in the SPAWN Universe published by @mcfarlanecomics.bsky.social and @imagecomics.com

NEWS: We unveiled our KNOW YOUR RIGHTS comic today, in partnership with NYC's Civics For All program, Project Open Arms, @nycimmigrants.bsky.social! Words by me, art @davidhahn.bsky.social, colors Ellie Wright, letters @tayloresposito.bsky.social. www.weteachnyc.org/resources/re... @mayor.nyc.gov

May she rest peacefully. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/04/w...

Comics artist Paul Smith and colorist Laura Martin did this cover in 2005 and it immediately warmed my heart. Daylight and bright colors. An adult training young people. A sense of wonder, and the extraordinary thrill of flight. A story I want to know more about. Inspiring. Happy Thursday!

It's so wild and flattering to see a top comic book publisher biting your style with their trailers but it's clear the BLOODLETTER trailer I produced for my @imagecomics.com @mcfarlanecomics.bsky.social series NOW IN TRADE PAPERBACK AT COMIC SHOPS EVERYWHERE was inspiring. youtu.be/EeFHX2fDpUw?...

Joe Illidge @josephpillidge.bsky.social sky.social (writer, editor) is watching THIS TV show? Part of the #comicbookschool episode #RWL. youtube.com/shorts/tdFlK... @mikefasolo.bsky.social @deannadestito.bsky.social

RIP Marcia Lucas, whose skill as a film editor and storyteller made a clunky independent film called STAR WARS greater than the sum of its parts. Rightly referred to as "Lucas's secret weapon," Marcia had an uncanny talent to see a film from the perspective of an audience--and won an Oscar for it.

Since you asked, I’d like to see David Zavimbe be given another shot as Batwing, with an all Black creative team. He barely got a fair chance. I’d also like to see a stronger commitment to launching the Dakotaverse into a thriving franchise. @dc.com, you have @josephpillidge.bsky.social’s number. 👀

I like the sound of this very much.

Excellent episode with great guests. Love when discussions get in-depth like this!

Beyond the wonderful composition and drawing skill, you know what really impresses me about this cover? FEET. Seeing the feet of the Pink Ranger and how it grounds her in the piece. The presence of feet on covers is not as common as you think. Thanks for attending my Editorial TED Talk.

Looking forward to being on this tonight. Tune in!!
