Here's Penny's updated design by @niccillustrates.bsky.social

Northland follows Penny, now 15, as she investigates a pog-hungry cryptid in a mysterious mall seemingly trapped in the '90s.

I like the defined structure of classic tokusatsu shows like Ultraman (1966) and the easy-to-follow but very imaginative rules. Directors like Akio Jissoji could play around with their episodes in very artistic ways without straying too far from the format.

A little Iris Complex Easter egg: Alex's HASTE phone in Sunset Card Battler has a shadow demon charm. (IC art by @salamispots.bsky.social and SCB art by Cassio Ribeiro)

The initial inspiration for Sunset Card Battler came when I started watching the 1993 Gridman last year. I've always loved tokusatsu, but this was the first time it hit me that I could try writing something in the genre, with our own trio of relatable teenage protagonists. (Art by Cassio Ribeiro)

For fans of tokusatsu like Kamen Rider, Ultraman, Gridman the Hyper Agent, Super Sentai, and maybe even a bit of Eva as well.

Alex Knights is the new girl at HASTE, an organization devoted to unravelling the mystery of 4D Sunsets and the monsters that come with them. Alex joined because the Card Battlers' previous leader was killed while saving her brother. Now she needs to prove herself -- before she gets left behind.

My VIZ Originals one-shot with Cassio Ribeiro can now be read for free on the @viz.com website and app!!

SUNSET CARD BATTLER is a tokusatsu love letter by way of Canada and Brazil, with equal amounts of rubber-suited monsters and raw emotion.

Love this box art for Verne World (not entirely sure who the artist is).

I had the honor of working on the English localization for Mateusz Urbanowicz's newest book, Imaginary Storefronts! That's right, this gorgeous and magical book - in which Matt has constructed an entire town, the one of his dreams - is presented in both Japanese and English. Go check it out!

Physical pre-orders for Black Plastic are now open at the @wildstarpress.bsky.social store!

Black Plastic is a 150-page full colour karaoke cyber-thriller. I figure that if we only have one shot at a cyberpunk story, we better do it right.
