Hope everyone enjoyed the big finale to KAYA season 5. This was the mid-way "Empire Strikes Back" part of the story for me and I'm really proud of how it turned out.

Up next: COLOSSAL KAYA, the between-arcs issue #32 (with a backup by Riley Rossmo), then on to SEASON 6!

My preference is podcast (I think). But after years of listening to your voices, I guess it's fun to see your faces.

Thanks to everyone for the incredible support on THUNDERHEAD. We're working away on getting it all printed, and starting work on the epic second issue, coming this winter.

Gaze in wonder at the cover to TH #2 by Kevin Castaniero and Mike Spicer!
