From now on I'm only ever "opening" on a flourish worthy of a Muppets movie, whatever that means

Dropped today! My cover for the new SMILE series from @idwpublishing.com

So excited to be a small part of this & to see the franchise take on new life from the amazing @hannahrosemay.bsky.social, Miriana Puglia, @dearbhlala.bsky.social & @heatherantos.bsky.social 🩸

Look for it FEBRUARY 2026

Cover for “SMILE: For the Camera” featuring a woman’s face on a black background. Her eyes are wide, mascara running down her cheeks. And in her hand, a pair of bloodied sewing scissors. Within their reflection, the unsettling SMILE.

You've got so much hilarious fun ahead of you. Especially achievement hunting! I think ive put over 30 hours in already, and also nothing beats the comedy of proximity voice chat in a game where it is very easy to fall to your doom

Amy "Thunderjam" Chase - ABUZZ 🐝💖 @amythunderjam.bsky.social · 5d

Oh god i love Peak so much, it's so good

KEEPING TIME returns, as promised!!

#KeepingTime is a bittersweet bummer of a gay band romance that just started its 4th chapter, which means there's already 106 pages for you to dive into. #webcomics

🎸 keepingtimecomic.com

Full page spread of a close-up of a bulletin board. A flyer that reads, "Chapter 4: My Father's Dreams" takes front and center of the spread. Around it, numerous flyers and business cards are pinned to it with colored thumbtacks.

Yes! It meant a lot to me and was very important for the foundation of my beginner's derby journey. Thank you so much! 💖

Amy "Thunderjam" Chase - ABUZZ 🐝💖 @amythunderjam.bsky.social · 5d

Yeah, it was so so lovely! The Uhleys introduced me to her and to another woman (who I'm only remembering by her skate name - Buckingham Malice!) who both gave me fabulous advice when I was just starting out/unsure if I should give it a try.

Amy "Thunderjam" Chase - ABUZZ 🐝💖 @amythunderjam.bsky.social · 6d

I think about Marvel's underutilized oddball detective Dakota North (in her most classic incarnation, not the Brubaker-fication of her) a lot. I want to write a ridiculous Dakota North book.

Happy birthday, Tilly! In honor of your roller derby journey, the kindness I want to highlight was @sheafontana.bsky.social being generous and chatting with me about starting derby with my local league a few years ago -- she offered advice and perspective, and told me to always advocate for myself!

If you're at NYCC, go see Toril! Get HOTBLOOD! Please do what I cannot (but had the pleasure of doing at CALIBA last month).

toril @ NYCC #4455 @toril.bsky.social · 6d

Friday: 2:00 PM
Saturday: 3:00 PM

Amy "Thunderjam" Chase - ABUZZ 🐝💖 @amythunderjam.bsky.social · 8d

Yes, agreed! That, I'm fine with. And I understand most 5 issue minis even end with a little cheeky "ohoho, here's what could come next" -- but I can think of a few books specifically that got the ongoing status mid-mini, and yeah, it's tough when you can tell there won't be a resolution incoming.

Can I sign your cast?

“Cast” is a 16-page comic written by me, drawn by @aaronlosty.bsky.social, colored by Aaron and @marissadraws.bsky.social, and lettered by @illusclaire.bsky.social. You can read it below or purchase a hi-res .pdf on Itch:

As a creator -- yeah! Get your money! Write/draw more books! But only rarely has a miniseries like this truly grabbed me and made me want to continue the ongoing. If I was expecting a full story in a miniseries, sometimes I don't want to watch the back half of the mini pivot turn into a bigger plot.
