My Midwestern ways prevent me from touting my work like I should, but @ryankelly.bsky.social and I believed we were making a good comic with A Quiet Place: Storm Warning, and the early reviews are a welcome assurance that we weren't off the mark. #1 FOC is Monday, so shout at your LCS soon! Thanks!

FOC is feb 2nd lets goooo
Advance review 🚨
A Quiet Place: Storm Warning is a tense issue that asks what happens when people know the monsters are coming, and still don’t listen. Strong characters, smart setup, and a killer closing sequence. @philhester.bsky.social @idwpublishing.com
Read @davidbrooke.bsky.social's review:

Read @davidbrooke.bsky.social's review:
‘A Quiet Place: Storm Warning’ #1 delivers a new angle on the franchise
Knowing the monsters are coming doesn’t make survival easier—it just makes the consequences of ignoring the warning far more terrifying.

listen my advice for learning to make comics is will. always be: try. it won't be good. don't expect it to be. that's not why you're doing it. I don't care if you wanna do art or scripts or editing or colors or lettering or what. just try it. you'll be BLOWN AWAY at what just TRYING it teaches you
