Happy birthday Superman! Kinda cool that Legacy is ramping up for production as the guy gets another year older.
Hopefully Chris Superman, the definitely-not-made-up real life inspiration for Superman, is able to claw his way out of the grave to make it to another premiere.
And GOD Avengers Twilight is so cool man, thank you for writing this.
And, if you ever get texts from Hickman, tell him he's KILLING it on Ultimate Spider-Man. I read somewhere that you were offered this book but tbh- I can't imagine anyone other than Hickman doing this story
It's true! I was offered the book but the outline of the world and the ideas for the book were Hickman's and they were SO Hickman I said that he needs to do it!
That was a smart move, because Hickman has found a brilliant voice for this Peter that vastly differs from most other Spider-Men. I found the first issue to be sorta like the first issue of your Batman and, like, Morrison's action comics, where this became MY version of the character the second Pete began speaking
Life’s a beach and then you have to get back to work. Avengers Twilight #3 looks great, Chip. Looking forward to Cap showing that person who he really is.
Superman celebrates his birthday? Who knew? Whoops… I mean you knew…and now I do too. Yay! Have a terrific week, Chip.
Are the rumors about the drake beef true?? People are saying you took subliminal shots at him in public domain, regarding the fierce competition between you and him to become Canada’s biggest export
OMG you’re back! How was vacation? I missed you! You were gone sooooo long! (I feel like a golden retriever.) So. Because I literally have no one else to tell this to (my wife doesn’t care) but if Marco texts you instead of Ryan please tell him he’s crushing Ultimate Spider-Man. I mean, gorgeous book.
And I have no problem with compliments and the Joker stuff has been great. That’s some smart writing there. Absolutely love GC’s feel for Mazzucchelli. He’s totally got Gordon down perfectly.
I remember when Chip said that he knew what Marco’s next project would be as their Daredevil run was coming to a close. He said he thought it was pretty neat, so naturally I was trying to speculate what it could be. I never guessed that we’d be blessed with him and his art on a new monthly Spider-Man title! I’m super happy for him (and for my eyes since his art is truly some of the best in the business!)
i lost my paid subscription because my wife just informed me that credit cards have some sort of requirement that says i have to "pay them back". since she's so smart and responsible imma use her card.....tee hee
Chip! Looking forward to seeing you this Friday for the first time since you emerged from the woods! Curious if you'll be bringing any of your Zdarsco exclusives with you to ECCC!
Yeah, I had an outline for 16 issues when we started, but I also knew I could keep it going if it was a big hit. But, alas, it is a "medium hit" which these days means it's hard to justify keeping going.
Damn! I gotta be honest, I “trade-wait” for a lot of comics, but Newburn is one I race to the shop for as soon as the monthly issue drops! Looking forward to seeing how it all wraps up at least!
dear chip,
is superman's birthday LEAP day because he can LEAP tall buildings in a single bound?
and if so, shouldn't his birthday now be FLY day?
TGI FLY-day!
love

I can't fault this logic

Looking forward to this week’s Chipple.
Ha! I am ALWAYS telling Marco how great he is! Guy is the best!
And the vacation was me on a beach reading for three days, so, perfect
What did you read!!? The people need to know!
Zadie Smith's THE AUTOGRAPH MAN and Walter Mosley's DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS!
Well that’s just rad! To the readlist they go!

Honestly, just super excited that you’ll be at C2E2.
me too!

I'm not bringing anything with me except for my sketching paper! But Comic Sketch Art should have a selection of books at my table!
will you be snuggling with Kieron at your panel or was that just a SYFY Wire Q&A thing?
no way he's a dirty brit
Hey Chip, in Batman 144 the photos of the ex-commissioners, it sure looks like Captain Raymond Holt. Was that intentional? Long live the 99!!
Ha! Wasn't in the script, but I'm currently doing a re-watch so perfectly timed
Woah, end of Newburn! Were you always planning to end it after just two arcs, or did something change in the telling?
Yeah, I had an outline for 16 issues when we started, but I also knew I could keep it going if it was a big hit. But, alas, it is a "medium hit" which these days means it's hard to justify keeping going.

That’s my ideal break too. Glad you had a good time. Hopefully you read something smutty and thrilling!
Just tested positive for COVID, so you won’t see me there 😭 FML
Boooo! Sorry! REST UP
