Arc 4 marks the first of three spotlight seasons — where we focus on storylines that highlight and engage with a particular character’s backstory and personal Journey™️.
Xainan, Lumièra, and Seir all walk a new path, but only one will have to face the end head on. I wonder who’s first…? 🤔

Today I was laid off from Dark Horse Comics. While devastating news, I'm so proud of what I helped make there and am grateful to have worked alongside such amazing coworkers and creators.
I'm not quitting comics yet, so if you or someone you know needs a savvy editor please reach out.

The first player is whoever last bought new tech.
On your first turn, place a die in front of you and give the elevator pitch for your character's startup.

Assimilation is a conditional wedge used to divide and control us. Resist acceptance. Do not be satisfied with mere empowerment. Fight for liberation from capitalism and the complete destruction of white supremacy, colonization, and imperialism.
