Updated the calendar because, somehow, I shoved another book into October at the last minute.

People say they're gonna get everyone in the crowd to sign this book, but I feel like they're gonna have a hard time tracking down, like, Metamorpho or the Gentleman Ghost.

For you signature collectors, I’ll have Artist Alley cheat sheets at my table at NYCC! There are 140 real people on the cover of the deluxe Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen. At least 12 of them are in artist alley! Some folks are already trying to get *everyone* in the crowd to sign the endpapers.

Two copies of Superman’s pal Jimmy Olsen, along with the cheat sheet

The endpapers, an array of bow ties. Eleven of the bow ties are already signed.

I just left my LCS, where I was asked if I'd done anything this week. I pointed at Mary Sue and was like, "uh, that one." And the clerk was like, "oh, that was my podcast partner's pick of the week!"

So take the advice of that guy's podcasting partner and buy Mary Sue #1, is what I'm saying.

💗 Happy Mary Sue Day 🧛🏻‍♀️

This is a love letter to fandom, to those who stay up late reading fic, who still argue for your favorite ship, who found themselves in stories.

"That's the point – the smudge, the rough line, the hesitation - that's what makes my work come alive." - Jim Lee talking about why DC will never use AI storytelling. "AI doesn't dream, feel or make art, it aggregates it."

Pod People, Mitchell, Overdrawn at the Memory Bank, Quest of the Delta Knights, and Time Chasers immediately spring to mind.

My current rewatch is a little over halfway through Season 8 and I'm very excited to be entering the All Killer No Filler era of the Sci-Fi years.

Today’s the day! MARY SUE #1 is available now at your local comic shop ❤️ today I’ll be at the iconic Laughing Ogre from 4-6 selling and signing comics and probably drawing my own Mary Sue. Her name is Sailor Sun and she is a Sailor scout and I created her when I was 12. 🌈 happy NCBD!

All right, just turned in the last strips of my second year on FLASH GORDON. That's 730 installments in the bag -- appearing in a rough average of 1.5 panels per strip, I've drawn Flash about 1,095 times. Still takes me a couple tries to get his hair right. Tomorrow we start on year three ⚡

Flash Gordon and Prince Thun take on a squad of green-skinned Shark Men

And old man looks up at a mural of Flash Gordon crossing swords with Ming the Merciless.

Flash Gordon frees Edda from her locked helmet, and the mechanic can't help herself from laying a smooch on him.

Flash Gordon negotiates with Empress Aura. "Tch. Fine," she sneers, conciliating. "Savior of the Universe..."

He smiles back. "You love it."
