Much appreciation to Leo McGovern for his lettering on RYSK, my new comic mini-series. Lettering is the often unsung hero of comics: when it works, it brings together everything. (When it doesn’t - {yikes! | ouch!) Follow the word balloons in this cyber adventure blackboxcomics.net

Over halfway to the goal in just a day! At your own risk, enter the Tunnel of Love...

Another of those college-age Xmas cards that I hung onto out of pop culture hoarding and then nostalgia — but now I think better put to use sending out into the world.

Acclaimed copywriters/filmmakers/creative directors/playwrights/comic book authors D.G. Chichester & Mark Bellusci share hard won techniques for getting stories on the screen. Grab your copy of Street Writers and fight to write at a.co/d/4cuFDYe

Welcome home, Liam! I hope folks in similar situations to him are reunited with their loved ones soon Please check out comics4liam.com and thank you to the folks who set this up! #comics4liam

Artist Mannix Francisco has done an awesome job visualizing the dangerous world of RYSK — sleek, original, full of bold characters and taught action. Read Ruby Chance’s action adventure at blackboxcomics.net

I wanted to show my support as well. I'm glad Liam is back home. #comics4Liam

The Trump admin wont name the agents who killed Alexi Pretti. So we are.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

FOUR journalists were arrested. Proving again that this administration isn’t “pivoting” or “turning down the temperature.” By targeting independent journalists instead of the murderers of Pretti and Good, this is ramping up. Not winding down. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

RYSK is my cyber adventure, about bookie/hustler Ruby Chance, her crew of GraftTek-enhanced oddsmakers — and a betrayal that can save (or destroy) what’s left of their dystopian future. Find all 5 issues at blackboxcomics.net

Not sure most of the people who got this Xmas card really appreciated its majesty!

This Xmas cards followed me around from college, used to have prominent place on my corkboard then. Now it’s time I think to release it into the wild.

I just found out that the The End of the World As We Know It anthology is a 2026 Audiobooks Audie Award Finalist in the Short Stories/Collections Category! Listen to my The Strand short story "La Mala Hora" alongside 33 others courtesy of @simonaudio.bsky.social today at: bit.ly/3Zclbnu #Audies2026

So incredibly proud of this line of books we have coming from IDW Dark this year... ...and it's just only the beginning!

I can't stop thinking about this. Is *ANY* Democratic senator talking about conditioning their vote on measures that would actually free kidnapped people or even improve the conditions of those in concentration camps?

Street Writers brings together my podcast of a few years back. Co-creative Mark Bellusci and I took to the mics to spread some writer wit and uppercuts. Writing’s a battle — find something to keep you swinging at a.co/d/4cuFDYe

Woohoo! Comic syllabus for my superhero class is live and students were geeked! It was a mammoth effort to make it but so worth it to be able to give to them! Pleased & excited for the term! And you can have your own too - all on my site for printing, sharing! 1/? spinweaveandcut.com/superhero-sy...

Every oddsmaker knows there's no sure thing — but when the world melts down, Ruby Chance has no choice but to bet it all. Don’t miss RYSK, my new cyber action series at blackboxcomics.net

I take some glee in recognizing early that the metaverse was bullshit and recommending that companies not invest one second in it. That would have been (checks notes) the day it was announced.

When humanity is rocked by a flesh-eating virus, people rebuilt themselves with scavenged tech. Bookie and hustler Ruby Chance unlocked a powerful A.I. named Rysk, amping Ruby’s senses and skills. Join her adventure at blackboxcomics.net

This is new.

Ruby Chance's life is wired differently. When a virus tore up humanity, GrafTek fixed up bodies — but not always pretty. Dive into the messy, dynamic story of RYSK at blackboxcomics.net

Logging onto twitter is like having a seat at a Trump cabinet meeting: deluded lickspittle homilies to glorious leader’s faux triumphs.

Absolutely love writing this book. Something really fun and freeing about the done-in-one nature of the storytelling, too. We're building a larger story, but each issue really focuses on one location/challenge/creepy-crawly. Monster of the week, baby!

Where are judgy conservatives declaring God’s wrath when disaster hits red states?

I’ve “crafted” a book! Street Writers is the true tale of a podcast created with friend Mark Bellusci to talk over making words for plays, films, ads, comic books and more with proven techniques for writing activation. I hope it gives your own writing a boost at a.co/d/4cuFDYe

That's actually where Chichester found me! I reviewed Rysk and we started chatting, then realized I was talking to THE creator of the Black Armor, and it's all downhill from there

Also, I'll just note that you and I don't agree on Hellraiser like we do Rysk, so if for some reason you don't like criticism, you probably shouldn't read it

He is five years old. He has the same name as my now-adult son. They used him as bait for his father—who does not have a deportation order. His family did not know where he was for nearly 24 hours. He is five. Years. Old. He probably says “I’m this many years old.” He has a cute hat.

🤣👏 Bring on the metas: Those iconic, fearsome vigilantes with their penchant to enhance gargoyles, rain optional. (especially when they’re sad.)

My latest Daredevil fanart: a homage 2 @nethodiaz.bsky.social @jpmayer-inker.bsky.social @dgchichester.bsky.social sad black armored DD from a panel in Daredevil Black Armor #2. I ♥️ this mini series & am delighted 2 own pages by Netho & JP. #fanart #nethodiaz #daredevil #comicsky #dgchichester

@dgchichester.bsky.social I did it. I finished reading Hellraiser #7. My review is on League, I tagged you, but be warned... It's the length of an essay.

Betting on survival? Ruby Chance and her team play the strangest odds in a tech-ravaged tomorrow. Check out RYSK, the cyber-heist that delivers wild adventure in a 5 issue comic series at blackboxcomics.net

Reading through Psylocke Ninja #1 today I was impressed by the continuity juggling act with references to at least three separate storylines. Betsy's characterization was excellent. I was also delighted to see the Snakeroot and the Chaste involved thus tying this to @dgchichester.bsky.social 's DD!

👏👏👏 MacGuyering It Daily. Nice about the mini Swiss*. Never know when you might need the toothpick, Dan! *Right, the TSA! Wonder what they would make of stick matches. 🐍😉

Political candidates or appointees who have to use “Dr.” are leveraging presumed authority to cover for the fact they didn’t cut it in that profession.

Do you carry both with you now, Dan? Just in case.

He was one of my favorite artists back on X-Force. He was just so wildly different from the norm back then.

😂 You would compliment each other perfectly, Dan. I laugh even harder rereading Ben’s Wolverine arc, Weapons of X, because I could hear him as Logan and all of his clones.

Wow. Completely MacGuyvering that set-up. I’m impressed.

Benjamin Percy’s voice is ninth plane of Hell deep. It’s great. 😂

Does he also have a great voice? If Chichester did do a VO, when I say it I'd go:

😂 👏 Maybe you and Benjamin Percy should do VOs for Marvel, Dan!

While I'm far from being smart enough or having good enough connections to make a game myself, I love learning about development and the narratives in games are some of the most compelling stories in all of fiction. Not only is it cool, but if I ever write video games, it could be a helpful book too

@dgchichester.bsky.social I've started on Video Game Storytelling, and 1. I absolutely called it, you're an amazing narrator and I'd listen to you read anything I swear 2. Wow, Skolnick knows his stuff! As someone who lives videogames as much as comics, it's an incredible resource!

Ruby Chance thought she was just bettering her odds — until her GrafTek woke up with its own strategy. Meet the radical AI sharing space in Ruby’s mind, in my new series at blackboxcomics.net
