Sending AVENGERS #1 off to press this week and got this editorial note on the issue which of course made my day
Only one???
Anyway, the issue is gorrrrgeous. How fun is it seeing Marco and Matt illustrating these guys again?
spidey really needs stronger lenses on his mask imo
SPEAKING OF AVENGERS, issue three of AVENGERS: ARMAGEDDON is out tomorrow!
wolverine needs a better healing factor imo
For this issue we have Ario Anindito on art duties, giving us some cool showdowns! And then Delio and Frank are back for the big issue four! BIG STUFF, MAN
In yet MORE Avengers news, it turns out Hasbro is releasing a Captain America action figure based on Daniel Acuña’s amazing design from our AVENGERS: TWILIGHT Series! Lookit this grizzled Robert Redford hunk!
Yes he has reading glasses as an accessory. He’s old!
Go check out more about the figure!
I chatted with my pals over at FRIENDS FROM WORK about Spidey and The Avengers! Always fun chatting with Robby:
And in “oh hey that’s pretty neat” news, Alison Sealy Smith, the voice of Storm from the X-MEN animated series, lent her voice to one of the first panels I ever wrote or drew for Marvel. Very surreal.
My fall is getting busier as, not only am I doing Dragon Con, I’m now doing Baltimore Comic Con for the first time! Been meaning to do this show for years, so truly excited to finally check it off my bucket list.
Also! I’m going to be doing a one-day show in my hometown of Barrie, Ontario at the library! Come support comics and libraries!
oh god i hope all the jock bullies who used to beat me up don’t find out and come to beat me up again (just kidding, I was the jock bully).
And that’s it for this week! I leave you with something non-Chip: a great little documentary by youtuber “matttt” about the life of cartoonist Joe Matt. A really interesting look at a complicated person and their work.
okay
bye

Hi Chip,
Thank you, thank you for a tiny Avengers sneak peek. So great to see Marco drawing Matt & Peter again. I can’t wait. And here’s to more troubling pages or something.
Ah nice, that a version of your Avengers Twilight Steve Rogers is coming in doll form.
I waited until I read Avengers Armageddon 3 to comment here. I loved it. Made me think of my favorite Cold War film Fail-Safe (1964). Ario’s art was great.
And I cannot dislike David Colton (even moreso with his new ally.)
Armageddon is one big “whoopsie” from every angle. So looking forward to AA 4.
Wishing you an amazing time at Dragon Con and your local con (You’ll be fine! You’ve got this.)
Nice another interview!
And I loved Alison’s reading of your original sin Storm panel. 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for once again delivering my favorite book of the month Chip. Have an awesome week.
If only your editors knew the jock bully you were.
