And finally, we have these incredible covers from the @anniewu.bsky.social and @smartinbrough.bsky.social

Plus! If we hit our second stretch goal, which we are really close to we have another print from Shawn as a bonus!

Just finished Red Hood: The Hill by @smartinbrough.bsky.social & @sanfordgreene.bsky.social
What an amazing comic! Refreshing new story & phenomenal art. Loved the world building of The Hill in Gotham.

Hope to see a sequel one day because Issue #6 definitely had some open ended story threads.

We also have a brilliant black and white foil cover from @smartinbrough.bsky.social

You have to see this in person to believe how much it jumps off the page!

So moving to see artist Amy Sherald's original portrait of Breonna Taylor on display at the @whitneymuseum. The piece was commissioned by @vanityfair.com for a special issue guest edited by writer Ta-Nehisi Coates, who invited me to illustrate two pieces. Both were brilliantly colored by @sotocolor.

I spent Weds signing books at the @nmaahc /Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture "District Day" event. Such a great, diverse crowd of visitors. All books are available at the museum bookstore. @simonschuster.bsky.social @dccomicsreal.bsky.social

I love going through my collection and seeing badasses I have been following for years - like @smartinbrough.bsky.social , one of the best out there - and the incredible work he did as an inker in things like Shadow Cabinet back in ‘94.

I did figure out who would lead it btw! 😛
