We OFFICIAL! Cover reveal for my latest: What If... The Multiverse Was Doomed? Holding this one in so long it felt like I dreamed it. We're live August, 4 2026.

Ya boy wrote a MARVEL 🔥🔥🔥
Cover art featuring Moon Knight/Venom, Kitty Pryde, Scarlet Witch, Loki and America Chavez in the foreground, with Victor von Doom superimposed in the background. Title text: "What If...The Multiverse was Doomed?" An Avengers of the Multiverse Story America Chavez must gather a team of heroes to make their final stand against Doctor Doom and save Franklin Richards. So many worlds, so little time. Infinite possibilities, creating infinite realities. Long have we watched Doctor Doom claw after power, dominion, and godhood. But what if there was a higher calling just out of his reach? What if he would tame the entire cosmos to claim it? What if… a Watcher saved the Multiverse? Victor von Doom was never one to simply accept his fate. He swept his way across the vast labyrinth of the Multiverse, altering the course of universe after universe. But their sacrifice was one he was willing to make. Every new world granted him the means to conquer his destiny and embrace something bigger than himself, a fate beyond the confines of his own reality. And at long last he has the final piece he needs to uncover the whereabouts of the person this was all for: a boy named Franklin. America Chavez and Kitty Pryde are battered and broken. Thrown together by the wreckage of a shattered universe, they realize that even with the Phoenix Force barely contained within Kitty, they need a team. A team who has as much skin in the game as they do. So America must gather the nexus beings that survived Doom—Loki, the Scarlet Witch, and Venom-Moon Knight—to make one last stand. Love is an immutable constant in all of reality. But it also is the catalyst for the greatest change. Taking up arms as Avengers of the Multiverse, the group must give up their comfort and security to find Franklin Richards before Doom. Can they save all of reality, or must they avenge everyone they’ve ever loved?

Writing for this series was a dream, and so important to me in a very specific sort of way. If you were bothered by the way all these stories seemed a little bit unfinished, your conclusion is here! From a brilliantly talented author, no less!

This has been such a dream series to work on with the absolute best group of authors and collaborators. Many years in the making, but it all comes down to this.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

In the meantime, FIYAH fam, please know I’m reaching out to these busters on your behalf. I encourage ALL authors to search their work. I’m really curious if your summary aligns with your piece. (Mine didn’t.) @jenny8lee.bsky.social idk if you’re still around, but shame on you for this mess.

Other SFF publications include @asimovssfmag.bsky.social @tordotcom.bsky.social @lightspeedmagazine.com. The OG Dark Matter anthology is here. Some records link to what I presume are pirating sites for download?? Here's an example from The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction:

SFF markets are not lucrative. We’re on the wrong side of an impossible margin. This shit does not get us exposure nor help us pay authors. Shitty summaries do a disservice to authors’ work (of course there’s a subscription tier.)
