first COVID, now THIS??
It’s been a week I tells ya
But! I have managed to banish the illness from my horrible body!
YOUR LOVE OF EROTIC ELBOWS?
What? No! That is eternal. I’m talking about my covid! It’s gone! Unless you count the lingering night-cough and the forever day-fatigue. But, there’s no crying in baseball and there are no “days off” in comics, so I’m back at it, like the sucker that I am.
It’s a light news/update week here, but there are a couple of things of note:
If you’re a Canadian and aren’t able to get this bad boy from your local comic book shop, Indigo has a sweet deal on part one of the DAREDEVIL omnibus right now! I believe the sale goes to the 17th, so hurry!!!!
This week AVENGERS: TWILIGHT #4 is out! Weirdly, I think this marks the first time I’ve written Thor? Getting to do it with a sweet Alex Ross cover makes me verily happy.
Also, AVENGERS TWILIGHT #2 is back in shops with a second printing! Everyone has AVENGERS TWILIGHT FEVER!!
And last, but not least, the BATMAN: FAILSAFE TPB is out this week! I flipped through my copy and, you know what? It’s fun! Normally I have trouble looking at my old work, but I’m really happy with this one. I mean, Jorge and Tomeu are the real stars, but I think I gave them enough cool things to draw that it’s a team effort! Also, I may never top this panel:
COMICS!
COMICS!
On this we finally agree!
I GUESS
My final bit of news is that I’ll be at Rose City Comic Con in September! I’m comin’ for ya, Portland!
Okay that’s it bye

My god that Daredevil omni looks tempting (even though I already own all the TPBs) especially because of that sick cover art!
Also, I agree on that Batman panel. It’s one of those panels that instantly feels like it’s been around forever just because of how perfect it is.
"Normally I have trouble looking at my old work..." Yeah. Us too. But what was old work is sometimes new if we hadn't read it. Or, you know, >really< read it. Or just want it in hardcover so we can foist the trades off on unsuspecting friends. Glad you're feeling better. It'll give me a chance to test another version of Joker Venom. Toodles, Chip.
