When your newsletter dropped into my inbox I just thought you were sending me a casual email.

I was already planning on getting Lego Batman, but now I HAVE to get it now that I know Jimbo the Skeleton is in the game. That was the best thing to come from your Batman run. Failsafe, who?

....I thought the Zdarskyverse was your true legacy!

(Seriously, though, this is awesome.)

How many Jim Gordon skeleton man Funko pops would you put on your wall? I'd make a Paris Catacombs out of my house using only those boney boys. Get Todd to make action figures and plushies too. BONES!! JIM GOR-BONE

Too often, new characters in the Big Two get introduced and then fade into obscurity. David Colton is one that I genuinely hope survives the test of time. He’s such a compelling character in his own right, but he also adds so much to Steve Rogers as Cap in a post-9/11 world. Hopefully he survives Armageddon and is given the chance to grow in his own book. Or at the very least a team-up book where he and Cole North investigate the murder of one Howard T. Duck.

I just saw your compatriot Ryan North will be at a con in Oklahoma this July. When are you coming to Oklahoma? I have about 200 books for you to sign!

Ill pass that on to the con organizer. Maybe 2027! Ill be sure to shower Ryan with hours of Chip praise. Im sure he wont mind.

Hi Chip,

Um, I was staring at your Substack this morning and then, this happens!

Please tell me that doesn’t make Armageddon worse Chip?

Congratulations on Jimbo skelefesting elsewhere in media. That’s fun.

I’ve been enjoying those groovy pieces by Kagan (I kind of want a trippy King Daredevil or Priest Matt in this style now.)

Will you team up with Kagan again to do another like-minded Creepshow story?

And another Harper chat - yay!

Have a great week Chip. Thanks as always.

Chip Zdarsky's avatar

Probably not a Creepshow story, but we're definitely cooking up something fun!

Oooh nice! Glad you’re teaming up with Kagan again Chip.
