Happy Batman Day - that time of year that coincides with official birthdays of the DC characters Supergirl and Batgirl - so naturally we celebrate Batman.

just spreading some canon Star Wars lore

A new Crimson Corsair story is out today in Star Wars Insider # 234. Tensions rise and old wounds reopen as the Corsairs crew unravels… the Sinster Secret of the Binary Star! I used some Nick Brokenshire art from our 2020 story here - sadly no new art - just prose this time. :(

Today, we begin 'The Horror, The Horror': comics for the spooky season! We start with The Butcher's Boy, by Panel Vaughn, @landrywalker.bsky.social, @justingreenwoodart.bsky.social, @20eyesbrad.bsky.social and @droog811.bsky.social, from @darkhorse.com! www.thecomiccrush.com/the-horror/t...

Galaxy of Heroes' realistic interpretation of Kix from SW Adventures by Thomas Guillory. Original design by Nick Brokenshire and Eric Jones. There's some minor inconsistencies in the belt and helmet between the key art and model, but overall this is a real nice interpretation.

I saw the new Superman. I’d say it’s about equitable with most every Superman movie. Some stuff they got right, some they did not. Worth watching though.

I don't know where people got this idea that the goal - even with books aimed at kids - is to make the reader feel "good". The only goal is to make the reader FEEL. And sometimes that includes feeling bad.

An unfinished bit of work of Eric’s where we get a hint of what Batgirl would have looked like in Cosmic Adventures. Truthfully, if we had continued, Robin was much more likely to appear. Batgirl is lower on my list of “want to write” characters.

Check out Kix, the Last Clone making his video game debut alongside the Crimson Corsair, AKA: Sidon Ithano. Crazy to see a character of mine (and the wonderful design by @nickbrok.bsky.social) come so far.

New edition of Supergirl: Cosmic Adventures in the 8th Grade arrived at my house this week. Available in book stores everywhere this August.

Today would be Eric Jones 54th birthday. I was born 3 months after him. Our tradition for decades - two things: We would send each other copies of Stephen King’s Cell and I would mock him for being so much older than me. I’m now two years older than he ever was. Point goes to him. Well played.

I just heard Peter David died. I first met him in an elevator at Wondercon in 1992. I was carrying a TV and he made a terrible joke that I was stealing it. It was through his articles that I learned how to navigate the business. I'm terribly sad that I will not get to speak with him again.

"Imagine outliving everyone you loved. Watching everything you fought for fall. Learning the cause you were born to die for was a lie... And you wonder why I hide my face." - Kix, the Last Clone

An old friend of mine died in a car accident a few days back. Anthony Duarte was the biggest Batman fan I have ever known. If you can spare, please consider donating to the GoFundme to help pay for his memorial. www.gofundme.com/f/honoring-t...

Because I have seen this idea challenged in other spaces, I think it is worthwhile to once again state unequivocally - Supergirl is Cosmic Adventures is intended to code queer. Her conflict with Lena Luthor is meant to mirror indoctrinated homophobia. The message is metaphorical with intent.

The cover for the newest edition of Supergirl: Cosmic Adventures has been revealed. It's a reworked version of Eric's issue 6 cover, modified by DC with my permission. SUPERGIRL: COSMIC ADVENTURES IN THE 8TH GRADE (2025 EDITION) Written by LANDRY Q. WALKER Art and cover by ERIC JONES $12.99 US

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

Hey Kids! The TPB for the Butcher's Boy is out now via @darkhorse.com . My color on Justin's CREEPY art Scripted by the disturbed @landrywalker.bsky.social... @justingreenwoodart.bsky.social @brettaisrael.bsky.social

Butcher's Boy is out in stores this week. I like to jump around with genres, with this book being an exploration of slasher films and Lovecraftian style horror. It is 100% a standalone story, but it connects to Pepper Page saves the Universe, Danger Club, and the Last Siege.
