New Pinned Post! Here are all the comics I worked on that are releasing in 2025. There's MR. MUFFINS (Oni Press), a sci-fi boy & his dog OGN; RENEGADE ROYALE (Dark Horse), a queer YA gamer girl OGN; and a new MONSTER HIGH (IDW) mini-series bringing the Halloween scares. Yay for comics!!!
1/4

RENEGADE ROYALE shows four girls in sci-fi/fantasy outfits posed dramatically. MONSTER HIGH features the silhouette of a mysterious girl lurking outside a spooky cabin.

In late after a day of travel to say hello! I'm Nola Pfau! I wrote GODZILLA RIVALS: JET JAGUAR VS. MEGALON for IDW and also spent nearly a decade editing Women Write About Comics, which earned three consecutive Eisner Awards during that time. I am absolutely looking for work! #PortfolioDay

Main cover for GODZILLA RIVALS: JET JAGUAR VERSUS MEGALON, in which Megalon looms over a pit that holds a disassembled Jet Jaguar and a silhouetted fast food worker who fell down in there.

What helps me deal with imposter syndrome is the confidence that you'll never figure out what I did with the real Ben Kahn.

My Peacemaker season 2 hot take is that Steve Agee was this season's MVP. He had the funniest moments in every episode, and I think this is when John Economos went from "a Steve Agee type" to a unique, fully realized character.

The nostalgia this just brought back. For a minute I wasn't sure if anyone but me even remembered this game.

It's been more than 30 years since Cyclops, Storm, Jean Grey and Wolverine were all on a team together. I'd love to see an A-List Only roster like we get in X-Men 97

X-Men Don't Need Britches 💙💛 @rphutch1975.bsky.social · 1d

What's an opinion about X-Men that'll get you sent to jail? Is Jean really interesting or really boring? Should Logan have stayed dead? Do you think a certain x-mens outfit is positively horrendous even though people seem to love it?

The Brood Saga is better than Dark Phoenix imo 🤷

Freud was a garbage psychologist, but great at narrative analysis. The backstory always informs present actions, mommy and daddy issues are omnipresent, and id/ego/superego is a great character dynamic.
