Behold… THE PEDESTRIAN! Coming in August from Magma Comix

IT’S HAPPENING!

The passion project Sean Von Gorman and I started during quarantine is finally coming, courtesy of the fine folks at Magma Comix.

Behold… THE PEDESTRIAN! 🚦

Issue #1 launches in August with incredible covers by Sean, Dean Haspiel, and Mike Allred!!!

 

 

This book means a lot to me. It’s true collaboration between the two of us. It’s something we can only make together. It’s deeply personal. It’s offbeat and weird. It’s everything I love about making comics.

It’s got the DNA of things like SUPER, TWIN PEAKS, THE STAND, POWER RANGERS, and our very own PAWN SHOP.

I’m very proud of it, I hope you’ll join us. Comics like this live and die on pre-orders at your local retailer, so please please PLEASE let them know how badly you want them to order this!!

I’ll have A LOT more to say about this in the coming weeks, but here’s a link to the full announcement at AIPT!

Harley Quinn and King Shark Tear It Up in DC’s Spring Breakout

My Batman: The Murder Club collaborator Vasco Georgiev and I have reunited for a Harley Quinn story in DC’s upcoming spring anthology, titled SPRING BREAKOUT!

It’s a wild romp that was probably the most challenging DC story I’ve written to date, and I’m really excited for folks to read it.

It goes on sale April 30!

Priorities, Schmiorities

Real talk: I suck at prioritizing my creative projects unless there’s a hard deadline I need to adhere to. What I mean is, if someone else is depending on my portion of the work—an editor, artist, etc.—then hell yeah, I’ll churn that motherfucker out and give it top priority, no problem. Having collaborators depending on you (and you depending on a paycheck) makes prioritization easy.

But if it’s just a project that I’m working on “whenever” that has no publisher yet, no certain promise of a future? Well, that’s harder. I’m not even talking about finding the motivation or time to do it (though that is a very real struggle for many, and writer Delilah S. Dawson had a great thread on Twitter about that recently), but rather what do I do NOW vs. what do I do LATER.
