Boy, this week’s #StrangeNewWorlds was a much needed reminder of how deep my love for Star Trek runs, and how grateful and humbled I am that once upon a time, I got to be part of the family.

Saw a proof of Rick and Morty Beth Til Death this afternoon. Suzi Blake made it so pretty. Can’t wait for the world to read it!

In the meantime, I’m available to write comics for you! Hit me up jakeblack.com

One year and one day after we last worked together, I was thrilled to moderate @wilwheaton.net panel the ATL Comic Convention! (Today also marks three years since my first day at Paramount…) it was so fun to, as Wil said, “Put the band back together!” Even for only one hour.

Cover reveals for the Rick and Morty comic I worked on with showtinner @kibblesmith.com and artist Suzi Blake. In comic shops Sept 10. It’s a bonkers story that I had too much fun scripting.

In the midst of a wedding of universes, Jerry is going to ask Beth to renew their vows. But which Beth?

Was thrilled to once again participate in the annual Future Now conference where I spoke to a lot of rising and recent graduates who are the future of the media industry. It was also great to reconnect with friends and valued colleagues.

Check out Future Now is haven’t. Totally worth your time.
