Here's my cover for IRON MAN #14.

Goodbye, half hour (Supergirl #18 by Campbell/Bonvillain/Carey)

I thought the Midnight debuts were solid! Had a great time chatting about them with @davidharper.bsky.social. Spider-Man came out on top for me, very excited to see more from ScieTronc.

24 pages!!! Cannot wait for this.

JANE THE VIRGIN > BREAKING BAD

FORGOTTEN ISLAND is a blast and I hope it finds its audience. So rare to get an animated movie targeting the older teen demo, it gets to be a little spicier. Perfect movie for teens who loved MOANA as kids.

Loved watching THE WEIGHT with a crowd of senior straight couples. Bonded with the woman next to me as we squirmed through the rope bridge sequence. One man clapped along with the music of the final scene. Great time.

Burned through FURIOUS this weekend, what an incredible acting showcase. Emmy Rossum has such great chemistry with each of the other leads.

We are so back. The ninth annual Superhero State of the Union is here, and @oliversava.bsky.social and I dig deep into all things Marvel, DC, and beyond. Plus: For multiple minutes straight, bask in me struggling to not just start giggling because of something Oliver said!

me and the baddie i pulled by letting my town succumb to a centuries-old curse of some sort

Tomorrow brings the recording of @oliversava.bsky.social and I's annual Superhero State of the Union chat on Off Panel, and if you want to hit us up with a question for it, there's one way to get in there: back Off Panel on Patreon and use the patron question Batphone! Which is a perk for patrons!

LAST MAN ON EARTH made me such a Will Forte superfan. I’m thrilled every time I see him.

witnessed something at dragon con I can’t get out of my head

Latest volume of YOTSUBA&! has a surprise AZUMANGA DAIOH guest star and I got way too emotional about it. Wasn’t expecting to see any of those characters again.

Finished Castle Cutaway Illustration for OUTLAW'S APPRENTICE

@cleanlined.bsky.social and @tamrabonvillain.bsky.social need to make a thousand comics together. I spent so much time poring over the visual details in LOSH #1. The layouts, designs, palettes, rendering… the art-only reread is going to be awesome.

Still crossing my fingers for another Ewing/Rodriguez team-up, but I imagine that won’t be for a while.

Working with @explodingarrow.bsky.social on this has been so much fun and the line-up of contributors is stacked with some of my fave writers. Go buy it!

An excellent deep dive into Vertigo Comics old and new from @teganoneil5000.bsky.social. Always in awe of Tegan’s knowledge.

Just got comps of my variant cover for the fabulous Batman and Robin Year One: Dynamic Duos #2… Pretty happy with how it came out but honestly more excited to see more amazing @chrissamnee.bsky.social storytelling!

EVERY order of The Comics Staple issue 1 is in the mail. So many thanks to the wonderful @cnuwer.bsky.social for spending a Saturday afternoon stuffing envelopes with me!! ♥️

Ok, final teaser from my minicomic as syllabus for my new Comics in Ed course! This spread was, ummm, kind of dense! A lot going on, and it points to a lot of what we are going to do/cover along the way. It probably needs footnotes :) I'll finish & post the whole thing early next week. Stay tuned!

I don't think I've shared this variant for *Batman: Bad Seeds: Streets of Gotham* #1 yet. #Batman #BadSeeds #DCComics #PoisonIvy

The pitch: a bittersweet time-travel romance between floundering NYC bohos Llewyn Davis and Frances Ha

I miss Koyama Press. Annie opened my eyes to so many amazing artists, Deforge among them.

I promise you I did not write *this*

Favorite part of reading B&R:Y1 is thinking about the single-word Batober prompt that could apply to any given panel. It feels like every image can be boiled down to a single governing idea, but that idea is open to interpretation. This cover? “Gross”

Tired: ABSOLUTE BATMAN CG animated series Wired: ABSOLUTE MARTIAN MANHUNTER claymation animated series

Have loved Kano for many years and Sabrina has his slickest cartooning yet. He’s perfect for this book.

Just saw someone post a picture of the new SECRET WARS collection with “my first comic book purchase” and oh man he’s going to be so confused

My cover for CATWOMAN #93, out in November from @dcoffical.bsky.social. If you can’t already tell, this is maybe my favorite cover I have ever done; to get to portray Selina in the most Chloe way imaginable was a total DREAM, and I am so lucky it was allowed 🥹🥹🥹 @garbagedracula.bsky.social ROCKS!

My cover for MILES MORALES: THE ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN Paperback Compact Edition by various creators. Out March 17th, 2027 from Marvel.

In a new edition of Double Take, @oliversava.bsky.social and @davidharper.bsky.social turn their attention to @markmosedale.bsky.social and Si Smith's @topshelfcomix.bsky.social graphic novel Gigs, discussing its merits and Smith's glorious art in the process.

The first issue of TERMINAL was horrible. A waste of its art team.
