dear chip,

this is great!

i think it's fine that you count spin-offs in your daredevil run.

in fact, have you considered including all of your batman issues in the daredevil run as well, because batman and daredevil are basically the same guy?

thanks!

love,

myq

Aaaah…you could have a very lucca-terive career in comic art forgeries, Chip! Just think of all the lira and Flash costumes you could get doing this.

And now I can’t unsee the King DD pop as an angry kitten. You’re making me want more of them (Dammit, Chip!)

Your memories are a blast, keep them coming and have a great week.

I was at that con! Got to meet Mark & Charlie, and both were lovely.

Also, that reproduction is *chef's kiss*.

Thank you for this. I had this image open in a browser tab years ago from Fraction's tumblr before he took it down and have been looking for it ever since.

your DD run melted my brain, as now I want a funko pop?

or maybe I just want to commission Matt as an angry kitten?

edit -- the word now, as I am tipsy and shouldn't be typing

thank you for sharing that story because it helped me start my day with a laugh!!! i have been on both sides of wanting to buy something i shouldn't and have had to talk close friends out of making a possible mistake. it's early but looking at you in the flash costume you actually resemble Daredevil

A little late here but Newburn, man. Sean’s killing it and two issues in the stakes feel real. Not for nothing, but you should (if you already haven’t) Jeff Lemire this and create a World of Newburn. The backups are great and all, but I’d drop some bucks to see some spin-offs. (I mean, you’d have to work and all that but still!) Good stuff dude.

Ha! Yeah, it'd be fun to do more in this world. It gets complicated though with ownership once you bring in people for spinoffs! All the backups in Newburn are fully owned by the creative teams on them, but a proper spinoff would be different.

How does Tynion do it?! Yeah I figure it’s a logistical nightmare but it’s such a familiar but different and exciting world you’ve got going. It’s like Criminal and Michael Clayton had a baby who’s old.

I mean, I would imagine he does those as WFH and just makes sure they get paid really well?

I’ll keep sending you all my kooky ideas. Don’t even need to pay me!

With access to a Flash costume like that...so shiny..., how were you *not* tapped for the THE FLASH movie, Chip? Were you focusing all your acting efforts on the FF audition?

I’m sorry that Lucca recreation is phenomenal but yesterday I was reading this and once I got to your Flash pictures, I stopped and had to show them to my friends IMMEDIATELY

I forgot about the rest of this post until now as I was taken aback by the sheer force exuded from those pictures and I’m not even joking

it is truly a very special costume

I'm very late, but I had to say this

Responsibility is not buying the eight hundred dollar fake John Romita art.

Insanity is painstakingly recreating it.
