IF YOU LOVE WHAT YOU DO YOU'LL NEVER HAVE TO WORK A DAY IN YOUR LRRRnnHHHH

Plus! KAPTARA CHUCKLES!

A lot of people have been asking me how my week off was! Well, let me tell you: it was terrible! Why would anyone want to stop working, thereby giving them the time to think about all the mistakes they’ve made in life and the existential dread of what lies ahead?? I’d rather think about Daredevil!!!

My wife says this is “not healthy” and that she’s “leaving me.” You know who will never leave me? DAREDEVIL

I did get to go to a lot of appointments for my arm and shoulder. And the ultrasound technician was VERY rude:

Normally when someone says I’m “unremarkable” I let it slide because they’re talking about my work and are 100% correct. But then they said THIS:

Grossly! Incredibly rude!!

BUT ALSO ACCURATE

Whatever, DOCTOR

This week I talked to FORBIDDEN PLANET UK about Devil’s Reign, where I gave zero spoilers and therefore a terrible interview probably.

Recently I’ve been trying to think of a name for a new book. It’s maybe the hardest part of any new project! I keep batting around long titles, but a lot of people think that those kinds of titles, such as WE ONLY FIND THEM WHEN THEY’RE DEAD or WHAT’S THE FURTHEST PLACE FROM HERE are just a current trend, a comics fad. But, as usual, they don’t know their history. A lot of people don’t remember that this was the original title for AMAZING FANTASY #15:

ARE YOU OKAY

Yeah, why?

Hm, what else is new…

I saw this product yesterday and immediately pictured Batman saying “Robin, dinner isn’t sitting well, I gotta go dump some…

OH SHIT YOU AREN’T OKAY

Maybe I need another week off??

Nah!!!

Anyhoo, earlier this week I gave a MISTERCLASS (A Masterclass, but just by some guy who doesn’t know much) with Scott Snyder on character arcs! You can check it out here by subscribing to his substack!

Here you can see me visualizing how much I care about my readers!!

Also, just so you know, this weekend I’m signing all our SUBSTACK NEWBURN COMICS and my fancy Certificates of Authenticity, so they’ll be shipped out next week!

Thus concludes the free portion of my horrible newsletter! Subscribers get some COOL STUFF BELOW, with our first Kaptara guest strip! Kagan wrote a fun one and the amazing Michelle Dix illustrated it!
