You may recall this as the year I complained a lot about writing three books. This is inaccurate. In fact, I wrote FOUR books. Here's the fourth one: www.cbr.com/dc-comics-cl...
Thank you

We had a huge loss to our Indie Comic family as Onaji Rouse of Konkret Comics, creator of Odina and Kandake has passed from the world as of yesterday. I always loved our talks on the Pod he was a true friend.
Rest in Power my brother
Cover A of OF THE EARTH, a new Image Comic series out on May 20. The cover is by Charlie Adlard and features a medium close up of a woman reaching for a gun in her waistband.
Cover B by Jacob Phillips for Of the Earth, a new Image Comic series out on May 20. The cover is a contrast of bright orange and deepest black. In that, we see the image of a face dripping with oil.
We are fast approaching FOC for my new @imagecomics.com with Charlie Adlard called OF THE EARTH. It's an intense eco-horror story - imagine Wake in Fright or Blood Simple meets Tremors and The Thing.
Anyway! I think it's good! I *think*! Please pre-order it at your LCS!
You said Tremors and I came running
Expect to start hearing much more about OPERATION: IRON COFFIN next week.
@kennyporter.bsky.social & @tcannoncomics.bsky.social have a killer book on their hands. Can't wait for all of you to see more!
Don't miss this one. You can pull it now via @comicgeeks.bsky.social or with your LCS next Fri.

The cover to IS TED OK? issue 3. Close on the face of an unhinged, smiling man with long red hear puled back into a ponytail. He's wearing a green suitcoat and is in front of a flat red background. In the foreground, cut off by the edge of the paper, we can see that he's holding something that is smoking.
Aw yeah, two weeks from tomorrow, in 15 days, on April 29, issue 3 of IS TED OK? hits comic shops. THIS issue, y'all. WHEW. I don't know what else to say other than I CAN'T WAIT for you to read it.
Sorry to hear this Well’s my condolences
Absolutely great talking with Aditya, the book takes on the Idolization of celebrity in a horror filled fashion that is sure to make this a must buy. It releases next week!
It's #PortfolioDay and if you're a comic creator who finds themselves without a portfolio, you can put together one real quick on bindings.app like this incredible one from icon @kellysue.bsky.social:

one-page comic, black and white and grayscale panel 1 : close up of a woman's hand, wearing rings, on an old spellbook page panel 2 : same woman's hands conjuring some black fire panel 3 (big) : woman sitting on the floor where a pentagram is drawn, with skulls and candles, while a tiny demon with horns seems to jump out of the spellbook right on her legs, visibly very happy the woman's wearing converse-like shoes, jeans, a tope revealing her shoulders (and a big tatto on the left one), she has a choker necklace and hair loosely tied into a messy bun text : Look. There's never a perfect time to cast your first spell. Especially as a self-taught witch. Reckless ? Sure. But the truth is... I needed a friend."
