Always anti-fascist.

Make it crystal clear for everyone in your life.

From yesterday’s fascist DOJ statement, essentially outlawing the naming of fascist state & paramilitary forces as such (under the banner of domestic terrorism, words themselves as an act of violence against the state and their shock troops), makes every one of us potential targets. Any one of us can be imprisoned, disappeared, or killed.

This is the point— because we have been taken over by actual, real-deal fascists.

This makes it even more urgent that we continue to show up and speak out. That’s mostly what I’ve been saying for the past 4 years: SHOW UP. Do you understand how truly horrifying things are gonna get a year from now? You can play a part in preventing and slowing that outcome.

SPX next weekend: original artwork & last copies of COME AGAIN

Next weekend I’ll be at table W64 at SPX (Bethesda North Marriott, North Bethesda MD), and I’m bringing 10 copies of the long-out-of-print, Eisner-nominated 2018 book Come Again. All are in good shape, but some are used library copies, so I’ll be selling them at a bit of a discount. Come get em while you can!

I’ll also be bringing a few pieces of original artwork for sale at the show. For a broader selection of my original pages, check out what’s for sale at Athenaeum Comic Art— thanks!

Domino commission.

Here’s a recently completed commission of Domino from X-Force/X-Men! I had a fantastic time doing this one.

My in-progress commissions are penciled, and I’m working through the inks on all of them right now, followed by colors for those which need it. My commission slots are closed for now, but I’ll probably take on a new batch of them early in 2026 via Sean from Athenaeum Comic Art, who also has a bunch of my published original artwork for sale here, if you’re interested.

Thanks, everyone, for your support!

Appalachia Comics Project Kickstarter!

I’m proud to announce I’m teaming up with Dr. David Easterling on a science comic about precursor warnings of climate catastrophe in Appalachia for this upcoming nonfiction anthology, Islands In The Sky, from the Appalachia Comics Project. Other fantastic creators include Brian Bendis, Matt Fraction, Val De Landro, Gene Luen Yang, Andrew Aydin, Matthew K. Manning, Thien Pham, Alex Segura, and more!

A Kickstarter has just launched to fund this project as the first wave in an ambitious, long-term effort to inform and provide voice to the survivors of Hurricane Helene, while directly compensating those affected. Please read more at ACP’s website, or at the Kickstarter— and please donate generously. thanks!

'DIANA' is finished.

Clocking in at 308 pages, Diana is finished. I started work on this book exactly two years ago, and have spent the last 13 months inking, lettering, and painting the pages full-time, 6-7 days a week. (I also had to completely re-pencil 200 pages of the book as I went, due to a defective batch of Strathmore paper!) These characters are so alive to me, and it’s bittersweet to know that this wraps up the whole saga. Release dates, ordering info, etc. will be available in the coming months.

This will also be my final solo fiction graphic novel for quite a while. A fresh start will take patience and openness for new ideas to brew. My fiction is my lifeblood, but it’s increasingly difficult to make these books in a way that’s even partially sustaining— so if my work is meaningful to you, please buy my books, spread the word about them, and have your local library order copies. Thank you!

Diana is both a stand-alone character-centered novel and a prequel to my 2024 book Fall Through, for which I’ve been nominated for an Eisner Award for Best Lettering. If you’re a comics professional, creator, journalist, or anything else you can likely register to vote in the Eisners here— please consider your vote for me amidst a sea of fantastic books released last year! Voting is open until June 5th. Thank you so much!

2025 Eisner Award nominee!

I’m honored to find I’m a nominee for the 2025 Eisner Awards in the “Best Lettering” category, covering my work in both Fall Through and Lies My Teacher Told Me!

I love lettering my comics, and there’s a special thrill in it— lettering really is the underappreciated step in the process which makes much of the comics magic happen. With each book, I find my hand-lettering becomes increasingly interwoven with the artwork itself. I was nominated for Best Lettering one prior time, in 2009 for my debut graphic novel Swallow Me Whole. Being recognized by a win in this category would be incredibly meaningful to me.

If you’re eligible to vote in the Eisner Awards, voting is open from now until June 5th— you’ll likely have a link in your inbox. Thank you so much for your consideration as you vote! Winners will be announced on July 25th at San Diego Comic Con.

There are lots of fantastic nominees this year, across the comics spectrum, but I would like to endorse one in particular: my good friend and brilliant comics scholar Caitlin McGurk is nominated for “Best Comics-Related Book” for her fantastic debut work, Tell Me a Story Where the Bad Girl Wins: The Life and Art of Barbara Shermund, which is very deserving of your vote. Thanks!

'Right To Read Day' is today!

Today is “Right To Read Day”— celebrating and defending the countless positives libraries facilitate for our communities, and defending our fundamental freedom to choose what and how we read, write, draw, publish, and express ourselves.

It’s an honor to have collaborated with the American Library Association and their Unite Against Book Bans campaign on this. Fascists are actively and explicitly working to defund and dismantle our libraries, public education, social supports, and our fundamental freedoms of press and expression through legislation, criminalization, and threats of violence.

Nationwide protests today.

These are the stakes.

Things are going to get unimaginably worse, but we— and only we, meaning all of us— can counteract and stop this death march. Love and solidarity to everyone, from all walks of life, who are showing up at noon today in cities across the nation to speak out against fascism, and for the fundamental tenets of a functional society which values humanity and compassion.
