Hell everyone! My name is JD and I am a comic book writer, Media/Communication Scholar, and a big ole fan of Comics, music (especially metal) and games (video, table top, tcg and role-playing).

My main gig at a refugee non-profit keeps me super busy, but be on the lookout for cool stuff in 2025!

Picture of me, a white guy with a shaved head, glasses, and trim beard/moustache combo. I have a big goofy smile holding up a Ninja Turtle Ice Cream and wearing a blue short-sleeved button-up shirt with lemons on it

Cover for Shuffle, an original graphic novel written by JD Boucher (Me), illustrated by George Kambadais, and lettered by Jodie Troutman (@longtalljodie.com on Bluesky)

The cover features the Shuffle, a superhero with green tech-based armor flying over a city scape.

Yup, you are right. There's a lot of the same DNA, but the constructions are so different that you'd really have to twist one to make it into the other.

JD Boucher 💀 @jdboucher0.bsky.social · 19h

Okay, mostly serious thought here:

Other than the specific wish fulfillment and how it's fulfilled, is there that much difference between Isekai and Romantasy?

Just remembered this old Nier: Automata fan art I did

A drawing of 2B from Nier: Automata by me. She is wearing a cyberpunky leather outfit with cutouts, and is carrying a sword in one hand the head of a robot in the other. A bigger sword is attached to her back. A pod drone floats over her shoulder.

If I caught the scent of a delicious pie cooling on a windowsill I wouldn't float towards it helplessly. I would continue on to whatever business I had that day

This is just some good comics. Also I think this is the closest to "de-compressed" storytelling as I've seen in comics at this point in time. Two issues in and Ikaris doesn't even have a costume yet!

Kirby is King for a reason.

South Seattle! I will be tabling for the first time *solo* at the Treasure Your Chest event this Saturday at Midgard comics!

I'll have the first printed copies of Handful of Horrors written by *me* and with 🔥 art by @das-boog.bsky.social @sallycantirino.bsky.social and @markerslinger.bsky.social

Treasure Your Chest event with David Talaski Saturday October 11th at Midgard Comics in Federal Way, WA

The Cover of Handful of Horrors #1 with art by Sally Cantirino, Michael Plondaya, and Patrick Sinnott. It's designed in the style of old EC comics and has a plant-esque skull design, a cthulu-like creature with no eyes, and a nefarious looking DJ

"The American delusion is not only that their brothers all are white but that the whites are all their brothers" is a BAR!

Baldwin's insights here are so necessary.
