The Incident
Plus! Batman 153! Creepshow! Public Domain 9!
I’ve been away! I’m sure you were all extremely worried, but rest assured the doctors say I’ll make a full recovery (they were studying me to see how one man can do so many great things, but then one of the doctors stabbed me out of jealousy).
Right up top, there’s something important I need to address:
With that out of the way, I’ve missed some important releases!
First up, last week BATMAN #153 came out! The first issue of our “The Dying City” arc! As always, Jorge makes Batman look goddamn cool:
I’m really proud of this one! After the big, wild swings of the past couple of years, it’s been nice focusing on a more “detective-y” story. For anyone out there who was a fan of NEWBURN, this is closest to that!
Also, CREEPSHOW #1 came out, with a short story by me and Kagan! Well worth picking up to see Kagan do “trippy” and also “Mr. Creepshow” (I think that’s his name?)
Last, but definitely not least, PUBLIC DOMAIN #9 is out today! It’s a doozy! Chills! Thrills! Hollywood!
In it, Miles sums up how a lot of us feel these days:
Also, I had way too much fun making this cover:
For my paid subscribers, the FULL ISSUE will be at the end of this newsletter and also at our COMICS MEGA-POST! Sorry for the delay!!
I’ve been doing a lot of travelling and comic conventions, including NYCC next week. My favourite thing at these shows is obviously meeting readers, but I especially love trading art with kids. This one is absolutely my favourite. Myself and Grayson both drew each other Spider-Man and I totally got the better end of the deal:
Comic artists, take note. If you don’t want to show Spider-Man swinging on his web, simply write the word “SWING” and people will figure it out themselves!
One other bit of news! Due to a distribution snafu, ZDARSKY COMIC NEWS #3 will now be out Oct. 23, which will also push #4 back to Oct. 30. Which is obviously very frustrating as I’ve had physical copies of #3 in my hands for weeks now and want them to be in YOURS, but rest assured they’ll get to you and it’ll be great, I swear!!
I’m hard at work on issue FIVE which is looking real good IMO
Last, but not least, there’s a very special cool Kickstarter I want to show you! Dan Goldman is a comics creator who I’ve known for years. I’m a huge fan of his strange and delightful stories, and maybe his best know is RED LIGHT PROPERTIES about drugs and real estate and ghosts! And now it’s coming back to print with a super deluxe version!
Please go check out his Kickstarter video, which itself is a work of art.
And that’s that! I’ll post next week with my NYCC schedule, but rest assured I’ll be signing every day like a total chump!!
