Tomorrow!!

J.M. DeMatteis @jmdematteis.bsky.social · 10d

My tentative return to wonderful world of comic book conventions continues in a few weeks when I'm a guest for all three days of GalaxyCon St. Louis from October 10th—12th. I'm looking forward to a great weekend of signing books and meeting the fine folks who read and appreciate my work.

I know with Portland burning to the ground daily 🙄 and all of the news that’s going to be coming from NYCC over the next few days, it’s going to be easy to get lost in all the noise…

But my son and I have a campaign going for our comic on Kickstarter right now…

Welcome back, old friends.

Spider-Man ‘94 may bill itself as a continuation of the show, but it’s got classic Spider-Man comics blood flowing in it as well. It’s a mix of the familiar and fresh, expected and surprising.

So far, I’m enjoying that cocktail.

If it was a top 20 list, "Working Class Hero" would definitely be on it. Incredible song.

You're absolutely right!

Just realized that the new HERO SQUARED COMPLETE COLLECTION is out this week from @boom-studios.com! This is the only creator-owned series Keith Giffen and I did together and it may just be my favorite Giffen-DeMatteis production.
