The real “Dakota Incident” will be when @dc.com hires me to write a single issue and it leads to a longstanding creative relationship. I doubt that would get its own History of the DC Universe one shot, though.

With #marvel and @dc.com making big shifts, it’s a great time to remind the comic-sphere that I’m open and available for work. I’m an award-winning graphic novelist whose newest release is getting a hugely positive critical response. Publishers, I’d love to work on your IP!

Growing up in the 80s and early 90s, I never understood the over-the-top villains on TV who had the confidence to call themselves “evil” or “bad”.
But it’s become apparent in the last decade or so that villains get to oppress because they convince the people that they enjoy being oppressed.

"Something Beyond the Petrichor" is about a lot of things. It stars a young woman and her talking stuffed turtle travelling a landscape destroyed by acid rain and full of monsters, but is truly about one thing: finding your place in a world you didn't build.
