Just got THE email. Taking this in. For now, all I can say is one loud, massive thank you to every backer and person who has believed in me and my stories.
Just got word a short story comic script I submitted for an anthology is green-lit! This will be my first PAID writing work.
For this twenty-five year-old, this means a lot. Hope to reveal details soon!

I first discovered Igor Kordey from Tales of the Marvels: The Wonder Years and can’t tell you how much love his work. I’ve stared at these pages for hours. I wish I could find other books by him more often in this style!
I grew up when WIZARD magazine was still a thing and can remember picking up the issue that featured JLA/Avengers. The amount of characters
#GeorgePerez
could fit on the page stunned me. His art was the first taste of superhero comics for me at the age of 6.
I miss him dearly.
Stop the presses!
@TheGlobalFreq
@ElysianFields_0
and Fabrizio Ugolini have created a truly excellent tale in JUDEX. So good, I didn’t want it to end.
Indie comics—just like 1941 Paris guarded by its protector—are in competent, willing hands with creators like these.

Indie comic book writers, I want to READ your comic, not just LOOK at it. There’s always a place for silent panels and silent pages, but use them wisely, not frequently (unless there’s a specific narrative reason). Otherwise, it just comes across as lazy.

@MitchGerads
and you can’t help but sit in awe and wonder at what a true comic book is. This is real. This is pure. This is art. Thank you, guys, for your passion.
New video essay is up. I cover my very intense thoughts on It’s Lonely at the Centre of the Earth by

I wasn’t prepared for this. Once I set the book down, I had to talk about it. Hope you all enjoy.

As a comic book writer, owning original artwork from your own project is immensely rewarding and exciting.
But then to own a majestic piece from

Writing is absolutely everything to me. I’ve sacrificed most of my 20’s to the craft and today marks the end of scripting my latest — and most personal — project. It’ll be a while before it sees the light of day but, for now, my work here is done.
22,000 words. 132 pages. Hours
I haven’t made an official announcement yet but with SEASONS Vol. 3: Fall on the horizon, I will be crowdfunding the first two volumes in a TPB format for readers who’ve missed out because I’m all sold out of the hardcovers!

I don’t believe “there is no money in comics.”
I do believe it takes a lot of hard work, discipline, perseverance, talent, and business-sense to sustain and prove yourself.
If you have what it takes, you can and will make money in comics. Dream big.

has given me hope for the future of western adult animation and storytelling.
Let franchises end with dignity and make way for new blood. This was a breathtaking series full of wonder and devoid of what plagues a lot of media nowadays. Exceptional work.
I’ve come to the conclusion that marketing will always come second to my writing and the creative process.
They are both extremely important but if the end product — the book itself — suffers from a lack of focus and care for the sake of engagement?
I’m out.

AVAILABLE NOW ON KICKSTARTER!
The Fabled Offering has only 12 days left! We’re 76% funded and need your help to cross the finish line. Please back our book today and share it out. If you’re looking for dark, character-driven narratives, this is it. There’s also some very exciting stretch goals we need to hit!
My series SEASONS is returning in a BIG WAY. I know how patient you all have been for Vol. 3: Fall.
Stay tuned for more info coming soon! In the meantime, keep up with Rob’s incredible work to get some teasers…
I’ve wanted to make a video essay on the 2023 Eisner-winning Human Target series by

It’s extremely hard for me to support publishers and creators that turn a blind eye to this technology that devalues the art form. I can’t.

QUESTION TIME.
How does the indie comics community feel about CREATORS publicly reviewing other crowdfunded/indie comic books? Would you take a negative review from another creator personally?
The pre-launch page for The Fabled Offering is live!
“Grand Princess Aurelia must make an impossible choice to save herself in this sweeping sci-fi/fantasy one-shot.”

Currently working with my favorite comic book artist of all-time on one of my creator-owned projects.
This artist is responsible for redefining my favorite Big Two character, shaping my love for the medium, and contributing to my favorite comic book storylines ever.
Grateful.
I did everything wrong. I made it free to read online. I collected over 100 pages into a graphic novel. I made it a hardcover. They say don’t start big…but I did the opposite.
SEASONS Vol. 1: Spring is SOLD OUT! Indefinitely.

Nerdy technical question for comic book creators!
What is your favorite panel layout on a page?
Is it the 9 panel grid?
3-4 horizontal widescreen panels?
One or two-page splashes?
