THE FINAL SACRAFICE

A bucket-list hobby since I was 8. Insanely dangerous and terrifying—spent more $ on protective gear than the bike. Also terrifying, being a grown-ass man enduring the humiliations of learning in public. But like many things, living a life without ever trying was scarier to me than the thing itself.

Being 13 and watching Bill Sienkiewicz take over New Mutants in real time and going 'wait, comics can do that??' is my entire comics-creator origin story.

I just fell in love with three novels in a row—I don't think I've had a run that good since middle-school:

Stephen Graham Jones's 'Buffalo Hunter Hunter' @sgj.bsky.social

Daryl Gregory's 'When We Were Real' @darylwriterguy.bsky.social
