Just finished Red Hood: The Hill by @smartinbrough.bsky.social & @sanfordgreene.bsky.social
What an amazing comic! Refreshing new story & phenomenal art. Loved the world building of The Hill in Gotham.

Hope to see a sequel one day because Issue #6 definitely had some open ended story threads.

You have to see this in person to believe how much it jumps off the page!

IGNITION PRESS announces second wave of creators to stacked line-up; SDCC recap unveils covers sneak peek

Brand new comics firbrand label, IGNITION PRESS, debuted at last weekend's San Diego Comic-Con and they came in hard, with a bevvy of creator announcements, suitably renegade panels held away from the mainstream melee of the San Diego Convention Center and a pop-up location which became a nexus point for bold creators and intrigued readers alike.

So moving to see artist Amy Sherald's original portrait of Breonna Taylor on display at the @whitneymuseum. The piece was commissioned by @vanityfair.com for a special issue guest edited by writer Ta-Nehisi Coates, who invited me to illustrate two pieces. Both were brilliantly colored by @sotocolor.

I love going through my collection and seeing badasses I have been following for years - like @smartinbrough.bsky.social , one of the best out there - and the incredible work he did as an inker in things like Shadow Cabinet back in ‘94.

I did figure out who would lead it btw! 😛

Shadow Cabinet number 10 March 1994. Cover by JP Leon.

Page 3-4 showing the credits for the creation of Milestones Comics. Shawn Martinbrough as the inker.
