Newsletter #42: No Time
Burning a candle at both ends is for suckers! I'm tossing the whole damn thing in the fire!
Holy SHIT!
HOLY SHIT?
Holy shit!! A million things happened last week and I’ve got NO TIME to tell people about them!!
YES, OF COURSE. EVERYONE IS VERY INTERESTED IN YOU
Look, they signed up for the email, didn’t they??
Quick!! Let’s jump in!
OKAY
First up, Marvel announced SPIDER’S SHADOW!
This is a new miniseries from myself, Pasqual Ferry and Matt Hollingsworth! We’re reinventing the “WHAT IF” brand with this one, giving readers more fleshed-out stories of alternate realities! As you can see by the stunning Phil Noto cover above, this series is about the earth-suffocating oil industry!
HAR HAR KEEP IT MOVING
Image just announced a fun new series called SILVER COIN! It’s an anthology series created by the artist Michael Walsh where writers like myself each work on an issue while Michael draws the whole thing! It’s a creepy book with some top-notch talent and I’m lucky enough to kick it off with issue one! Here’s Michael’s cover and the stunning variant covers by Tula Lotay and Maria Nguyen!
WOW THOSE ARE COOL. SO WHAT’S THE SERIES ABOUT TH—
NO TIME!!
Next! Dark Horse has announced BLACK HAMMER VISIONS #3! Johnnie Christmas, Dave Stewart and I got to tell a fun one-shot featuring everyone’s favourite superhero ABRAHAM SLAM! I got to illustrate the cover!
I’m quite tired!
WELL, LUCKILY THAT’S IT THEN, RIGHT?
WRONG!
Marvel just announced that Marco and I are contributing an extremely creepy short story to CARNAGE: BLACK, WHITE & BLOOD #2! Look at Marco’s creepy cover! So creepy!!
ARE YOU DONE OR—
Nope!!
Guess what’s out this week?
THIS HAS GONE ON LONG ENOUGH I’M NOT GOING TO—
GUESS!
IS IT DAREDEVIL #26?
It’s—
…yeah. You’re right.
Daredevil #26! We’re back, baby! Matt and Elektra go toe-to-toe with THE KING IN BLACK! This fledgling mini-series from Marvel has decided to cross over with our incredibly popular title so they can get a bit of a sales boost! Happy to help!
Also, DAREDEVIL #25 is going into a third printing! Seems excessive, but what do I know? I’m just a simple comic book writer!
THIS IS TRUE
Also, last but CERTAINLY not least, our final SEX CRIMINALS HARDCOVER was announced!
I hate to see it go but I love to watch it leave.
THAT’S SURELY IT
It is! But of course I also lent my nasally voice to a couple of podcasts if you still need more.
I’M GOOD
You’re GREAT! You know who else is great? Ann Nocenti!
I did a deep dive with some friends at Marvel about her incredible run on DAREDEVIL! It was a lot of fun to do, so check it out!
Also! Me and Jason Loo talked to Dave at AIPT about AFTERLIFT, which will be in shops (gasp!) next week!
You should buy it tbh
Okay! Uh … that’s it.
Today I’ll leave with with a couple of things I’ve discovered. One is this unbelievable wiki burn by Batman:
And the other is this ad I made when I was out and about promoting Howard The Duck AND Sex Criminals. I miss signings and making really stupid posters for them.
Okay!
That’s all! I swear!
Bye!
