Wow this explains why my comic shop has burned down 15 times since it opened. They should really stop burning all the comics on Mondays! So wasteful and detrimental to the integrity of your building!

When the owner of my shop told me how flammable DC's card stock covers were, I thought he was just being weird and speaking hypothetically!

I've said it before and I'll happily repeat it: I'm very envious of your productivity.

dear chip,

another great piece!

this is very funny: "I don’t want to worry anyone here but I need to write eighteen scripts and draw 22 pages by the end of the year. Is it possible? Yes. Will they be of the utmost quality? Of course. Will some of the panel descriptions be, “Batman does something cool here”? Yes, absolutely."

and i don't want to tell you how to do your job (or i do and i will), so here'sa chip tip for you:

you could have just written "chip writes something funny here."

love the newsletter, love your work, love love love

“Batman does something cool here”

Hey, that's what I call supporting artistic freedom. You're just trying to give them the room they need to flourish.

Burn, Baby, Burn! 🔛🪩💃🕺❤️‍🔥 Thank you for making so many damn great comics, Chip. I will comment about many of those 18 scripts months after the books drop.

Yay! More Public Domain and The Domain too.

My comic shop hasn’t burned down, but maybe the warehouse where they ship my subscription copies from burned down.🥺 Have a lovely time in your cabin in the woods.

Thugs and henchfolk claiming to be DC editors are making smores and hot dogs on sticks on your guttering back. Good luck with this.

I've really loved how your run and DC books in general have been building on other stories in other titles. Was it your idea to have Failsafe-esque Amazos be the heavies in Absolute Power? And did you or Waid pick which Zurs would be in the different Amazos and will we find out? I have 1 "pilot" guess and that's just based off the one in your backup.

Very excited for the Domain and Whisper Queen finale coming very soon!

I had a slightly different plan about where the various Zurs would end up (can't say right now in case it comes up in the future!), but Mark had the smart idea to put them in Amazos!

I hope we get to see at least some of the Multiverse Zurs in some version of your idea. I do like, with the exception of one, that I can't tell for sure which one is which.

I'm excited for more!

Look after yourself, dude. Will accept less productivity if it means more longevity!

I don't know my RCCC schedule yet! I tend to spend all day at my table when I'm not doing panels. Sometimes I slip away for some lunch like a loser!!!

There are frankly too many ridiculously talented Jorges in the comic industry. I’m glad you were specific about “Beautiful Jorge”
