I have nothing new to tell you
WOW SHORT NEWSLETTER
But! Last week’s newsletter where I talked about my schedule sure got people talking! Mostly my loved ones wondering if I’m okay. But also people speculating about my myyyyyystery projects! Well, I’m here to tell YOU, my TRUSTED READER, that 75% of them are Batman-based, even the ones for Marvel, because that’s just what sells.
Anyway, I’m fine. It’s a perfectly normal workload. What else am I going to do? It’s a pandemic!
Anyhoo, what’s out this week?
COMICS
Perfect!
First up is STILLWATER 10! I forget what happens in this but it’s probably great
YOU’RE WORKING ON TOO MANY BOOKS
No, YOU’RE working on too many books!
Anyway, Ramon and Mike make it very pretty … and I think the kids of Stillwater are up to no good? Probably?
And our SIXTH DAREDEVIL VOLUME is out this week! According to some folks this is a historic run of Daredevil:
It COULD be “historically terrible” though, so I wouldn’t trust that pull quote.
I THINK YOU’RE GETTING WORSE AT SELLING BOOKS
I’m getting worse at everything, really!
And I believe the SECOND PRINTING of Daredevil #34 is out today as well! It has a spoiler on the cover so I won’t post it here! So if you haven’t bought it yet, walk in to your local comic shop blindfolded and ask for it! And then tear the cover off so you can read the issue with absolute purity of knowledge!
Oh! Also! Our new comiXology book, THE ALLNIGHTER, is available for pre-order in its PHYSCIAL FORM with Dark Horse! You should get it! It’s gonna be an Amazon TV show so you want to be able to say to your friends “oh, yeah, I read the book” before that happens!
COOL. IS THAT IT?
I have a new section I wanted to debut this week! It’s called:
WOMEN ARE CREEPS
OH GREAT
No, no! Hear me out! This is about SPECIFIC women I know! First up is my trusty assistant Allison O’Toole! She’s the true mastermind behind Zdarsco, Inc. and she has a new horror anthology Kickstarter up called SHADES OF FEAR! It’s incredibly creepy and well worth your internet bucks! Look at this AMAZING cover by Maya McKibbin!
OKAY THAT IS CREEPY
I told you! But that’s not all! My amazing colour flatter Becka Kinzie also has a kickstarter going for her creepy horror book GEHENNA: DEATH VALLEY! She says it’s “wholesome body horror content” but I have yet to find the “wholesome” part in her story!
I actually also contributed some art for it! You get my variant cover at the $70 tier!
I’m always down to draw creepy Daft Punk.
And last but not least, my friend Casey Gilly is writing a new Buffy series call BUFFY THE LAST VAMPIRE SLAYER! I read issue one and it’s fantastic and not too creepy, but, unlike my previously mentioned friends, Casey is actually a creep so she gets included here in my list! Check out the designs and cover art here!
Okay! Enough with creeps! This week on Mangasplaining we go deep into the works of Tsutomu Nihei! Go listen to my blistering art critiques!
And that’s it! On Friday subscribers get … HOT COMICS CONTENT! And also I believe next week we’ll be opening up orders for this Newburn #1 variant for my ANNUAL SUBSCRIBERS & CHIPNUTS!
So subscribe if you haven’t already!
Bye!
So, now that Mark Millar has also announced a "teen-vampires-become-superheroes-also-developed for-TV" project on his Substack, will you two have to become (im)mortal enemies?
Or does Ryan Stegman still safely hold the title of the comic industry ultimate nemesis?
I'm a superhero junkie so it gets hard for me to read books outside of Marvel and DC. For you though, I did an exception and bought the first Spanish trade of Stillwater.
It was worth it, very interesting premise and gorgeous yet disturbing art
