Issue thirty-one of GREEN ARROW will be my final issue on the title. It's been fantastic to work with Montos, Buddy, Hass, Adriano, and Chris Rosa on the book. More than that, it's been a dream to work on a character like Ollie for DC Comics. I'm bummed we have to end things here...

In SPEAK UP, SANTIAGO! by @julioanta.bsky.social w/art by Gabi Mendez, Santi's lack of confidence about his ability to speak Spanish impacts relationships w/his abuela & his new friends. Story of identity, culture & community will resonate w/multilingual readers in similar situations. #mglit 📚👍🏻(1/2)

Guys - I read this yesterday and it’s fantastic. Another hit from @christophcondon.bsky.social paired with beautiful art from @gegeschall.bsky.social. You don’t want to miss this one!
TODAY is the FINAL day to pre-order a copy of FAR DOWN BELOW #1 from @madcavestudios.com. Christopher Cantwell says: "This is a story that might equally absorb you on your family television set, or the Jules Verne section of catacomb-like library. That’s what makes it a perfect comic book.”

Hey folks, I'm obviously not terribly active on social media, so I haven't seen this with my own two eyes. However, some friends have sent me some posts by Rob Liefield that seem to imply that he was the originator of the Ultimate Wolverine design. While I appreciate Rob Liefield's contributions...

From the very first rough storyboard to design, 'Remember Us' has come a loooong way. Really happy how it’s turning out, hoping to hit the festival route next year with it
