I write comic books. Hi!
High concept pitch:

Rob O'Cop.

Criminals *think* he's a cyborg. He's just Irish.

Hear me out.
Hollywood's learned that pre-established IP sells tickets, right?

So add Kevin Bacon to the cast and call it DUNE 3: TREMORS 8.

When Trump shows up to sue them, can these performers make the argument that their agreements are with the "Kennedy Center" and NOT the "Trump-Kennedy Center," so therefore their commitments are null and void?
Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

Not a movie. The TRAILER for the Anthony Hopkins movie, MAGIC. Sweet baby Jesus, that gave me nightmares for months.

The internet/algorithm always rewards the hottest take and the most click-bait worthy header, often at the expense of using the most charged (and often incorrect) verbs.

In my experience, there are 6 ways to exit a regular monthly gig in comics. 3 are bad. 2 are bittersweet-but-nice. 1's good.

Recently I posted about a gag I wanted to do in a licensed comic--

--a gag that could've causes legal problems for the company I was working for (Marvel) w/ another company (Sony).

When editorial said, "NO!", I knew I'd done the right thing instead of sneaking it in.

These posts went viral.

"Radical left scum" is something The Empire would call The Rebellion.

You're on the cool team.

When I was a kid we watched syndicated shows about a dolphin, a collie, and a guy who had adventures with a bear. And in primetime there was a popular show about a trucker who had adventures with a monkey.

Last minute Christmas shopping? Here’s a couple of cool ideas: the just released softcover version of THE PRIVATE EYE (slightly smaller than the original HC) by BKV, Muntsa Vicente & myself and/or the Deluxe (slightly oversized) HC FRIDAY book by Ed Brubaker, Muntsa & myself!

It's under 26 minutes long.
Dr. Seuss + Boris Karloff + Chuck Jones.
It's perfect. It's on a ton of streaming services.
And it'll make your day so much better.

Do yourself a favor and Grinch it up.

Turned in plot for Part 2 of SUPERMAN UNLIMITED's "Reign of the Superboys" storyline. SO happy with this one!

And went over the lettering for the 10 page back up I've got in the SUPERMAN CHAINS OF LOVE Special.

Paul Kaminski says it's the best script I've done since coming back to DC. I concur. :)

This will never NOT be funny. (Especially if you've seen the original Folger's commercial.)

There's a short story I wrote that you won't see for a while.
The art's been in for a few days.
When I need a motivational boost, I open up that folder on my desktop, and stare at the pages.
It's like a vitamin B shot to the soul.
An image from it is now my phone's wallpaper.
You'll see it in 2026.🙂

We're imposing tariffs on our once allies.
We have measles outbreaks.
We have gun violence.
And if you want to visit our country on a visa, we'll want to see 5 years of your social media posts to make sure you haven't said mean things about our leaders.

Can't believe tourism is down. Total shocker.

This man is the reason America is experiencing outbreaks of measles.

Comic book readers, a serious question:
I recently read the same criticism of my work from multiple reviewers, and that's made me pause and think about it.

They said a comic I wrote was very fun and entertaining, but it didn't move the greater narrative forward. And that *that* was a bad thing.
