When I was a kid, I was dissuaded from my dream of making a career out of seeing around corners. Congratulations to Atom for breaking the corner ceiling!

Congratulations on the partnership! I hope this means I'll be able to get Zdarsky Comic News "dead tree version" in Scotland. When I wrote to my comic book subscription service about it they replied with "Unfortunately not. It isn't available to us within our previews". Fingers crossed!

Randomly #5 finally showed up at Forbidden Planet Edinburgh. Haven't been in since the end of 2024 so not sure #6 ever made itself known.

Hey Chip. My buddy got the omnibus (the second one) and he said they didn't put Woman Without Fear between the issues of Devil’s Reign. Why would they do this?? Can you fix it? Do you know how to sew books?

And I have ideas for those extra ZCN pages: more crosswords and ads for where to find more crosswords.

I hope you write at least 1 Superman story for Jorge :)

Ha! Did they at least put WWF after Devil's Reign??

They did! But I'm not sure if that's better! You could do 1 & 2 of WWF in front maybe and save 3 after the big reveal, but what do I know? They don't even consult you!!

Yay! Moar, ZCN… wee!

And Chip, -I swear at Goldy- I had EVERYTHING (well, okay, NOTHING…NOTHING) to do with the second DD omnibus becoming scarce - I haven’t even snagged the version with Marco’s King DD designs on it yet (Never mind that I have 4-5 copies of that variant of DDv.7 #5.)

Wait, did you get a copy of the 2nd DD omni yet?

I did NOT! But I have my comps sent to my local comic shop and it's been a while since I've been in there. Hopefully it's waiting for me!

Stoked to pick up Time Waits #3 - I’ve been enjoying it so far, and after listening to your interview on the CBCC podcast it’s definitely got me thinking a little more deeply about its themes…

ZCN Absolute Edition? Not Ultimate? Or was that Earth's Chip chopped? Will Absolute ZCN run on Darkseid Energy? What's next? ZCN becomes a streaming service? Congratulations, Mogul Man.

Awww I like “cartoonist.” It’s very cuddly. Like how I always imagined the illustrators and cartoonists at the old Warner Bros. or Disney studios. Congrats on the big-time magazine mogul world!
