Coming soon to North Carolina: it's #galaxyconraleigh. I'll be there with tales of Daredevil, Hellraiser, Nick Fury, Punisher, Terror, Inc., Judge Dredd, Assassins, the Shadowline and much, much more. Looking forward to saying hi in a few weeks!

Trump told you he’d run America like a business. He is. It’s called asset stripping. You go in, sell the profitable pieces, gut the workforce, load it with debt, & walk away rich while everyone else holds the bag. Venture capitalist politics. Cartoon by Jorge Gonzalez

I just backed THIS COMIC KILLS FASCISTS DOS on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/apo...

The original Milestone Comics crew.

Ruby Chance thought she was just upgrading her odds — until her GrafTek woke up with its own scheme. Meet the next-level AI sharing space in Ruby’s head, in my new series at blackboxcomics.net

Grateful to have been invited to co-create RYSK: a new cyber thriller centered on bookie Ruby Chance, her team of enforcers — and conniving forces that want to plunder what’s left of a ruined world. Complete series at blackboxcomics.net

Street Writers assembles my podcast of a coupla years back. Collaborator Mark Bellusci and I hit the mics to spread some writer wit and tactics. Writing’s a battle — find something to keep you swinging at a.co/d/4cuFDYe

RYSK is a cyber take on heist thrillers — equal parts Ocean’s 11 attitude and Matrix edge. High stakes, huge action, bigger risks. Get your copies at blackboxcomics.net

I do not see the Black Armor or King Daredevil suit in that s3 costume, it feels like they just did black & red on the suit. Honestly, DD could use some armor against Bullseye. Hope you and Scott get a thank you nod anyway.

#HeadsUp: How to Survive Camping: The Man With No Shadow, by @bonniequinn.bsky.social, is on US Kindle sale for $2 for the month. This was strongly recommended by @seananmcguire.bsky.social, and I enjoyed it, so I got some copies for random giveaway.

I am not quite sure if I see the Daredevil costume design Scott McDaniel and I created in this set photo, but if it gets me a mention, I'll take it! (We'll know for sure if me - and most importantly Scott - get a teeny tiny credit ref when season 3 airs!)

#ComicSky #Comics Here's a fun compilation of stories focused on Taskmaster, from David Michelinie, Bob Layton, @dgchichester.bsky.social, @kurtbusiek.bsky.social, Tom DeFalco, Dan Jurgens, and more, with art also from George Perez, @toddmcfarlane.bsky.social, Stuart Immonen, Bob Layton (again)...

I 💯💯💯💯 recommend this book!

I've been looking forward to #galaxyconraleigh and this summer I get to represent. If it's on your list of conventions, please stop by and say hello, ask questions, get answers and autographs! See you in a few weeks.

"Weird Al" Yankovic has always been a real one. Just learned that he very recently turned down "a nice pile of money" to shill for A.I. Damn right he did. @alyankovic.bsky.social www.syracuse.com/entertainmen...

Pre-comic con playing around with 3D prints, seeing what new stuff I can come up with for the prize wheel. Come by my table in Washington State, Raleigh, Tampa, etc. and give a spin!

hey comics-industry friends! heads up if you're looking for a gig 👇

Interesting Maker Tip #473: do NOT use your 3D-printed spools in a filament dryer because they MELT!

Lynda Barry did not squeeze your heart and simultaneously explain the point of all art with the barest of line drawings so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

We have an opportunity in this moment. A responsibility. To insist on everyone’s humanity, all the way through.

I love this quote by Ira Glass. I think about it often. "But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer." <- Read the whole quote but this I love.

Much admiration 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

Second draft on first novel. Now at 63,031 words. On to the third draft!

Next stop: the biggest show in GalaxyCon's, um, galaxy of shows! Been looking forward to attending #galaxyconraleigh and this year's my chance! Comic book, storytelling, cowboy boots and more. Come say hi!

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

It’s final day of Washington State Summer Con, and missing this chill vibe, fine folk, midway centered show already! Come by and do your own speed walk to my table in artist’s alley (really the “writers’ block” with Steve Grant, Steve Englehart, Roy Thomas and Mike Friedrich!)

2nd day of Washington State Summer Con: great people, fun venue (a literal fairgrounds) and friendly vibe. Shoutout to @CriticalHitSoda for a complimentary boost of their special brew. I went for the Lycanthrope: root beer with banana, strawberry and vanilla. Don’t judge me.

Looking forward to this!

If you’re attending, go say hi to Dan.

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

SO excited to be part of this amazing prose anthology put together by Dan Brereton. Pre-orders soon, aiming for a July release. It's opened up a whole 'nother avenue of storytelling. Looking forward to you reading "The Unusual Employ of Mr. Mortsafe" soon!

Today starts the Washingston State Summer Con — and I'm there (or by the time this posts…here?). Anyway, come down to the Fairgrounds in Puyallup, WA, let's talk comics, storytelling, writing — all the good stuff that makes a con fun! Show starts at noon.

In countries that have successfully reversed democratic backsliding in recent years—from Poland in 2023 to Hungary in 2026—opposition movements made prosecuting those who have broken laws a central campaign issue.

The number of series I love that disappear with little warning I'm used to this (sort of) by now. I have a few other nice series you may recognise.

You got to work with Rebecca Guay as artist, that's a hell of a credential!

I love these. I think that is the complete run, unless you know differently.

Next to Kingpin, anyone would!

Achievement unlocked! The good folks at #galaxyconnashville set me up with a photo with the talented Vincent D'Onofrio. He appreciated my writing Daredevil. I neglected telling him what Lee Weeks and I did to his Kingpin character in the comic. 🫣
