Happy Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday— wishing everyone feasting and mirth, surrounded by people who love you and each other.

end-of-year events in Cleveland & Bloomington.

I have just a few more events for 2025: a trip to Cleveland just after Thanksgiving for a signing and Genghis Con, and then my local small press comics show here in Bloomington.

I’ll be traveling a ton in the second half of 2026 for the release of Diana (details to come over the winter!), so if you help organize a comic con or book expo, or if you’d like me to come do a talk/signing at your comics shop, bookstore, or library, NOW is the time to reach out to me! (I cannot foot my own bill for most of these travels, so I’m looking to set up some events with travel expenses covered. Thanks!)

I hope to see you out there. My email address is seemybrotherdance (at) yahoo (dot) com.

4 earlier books out-of-print soon.

The publishing contract for all of my solo Top Shelf releases is expiring on January 1st— I already have some plans underway to give Come Again a new home, but if you see any of these books in the wild or online, you should definitely grab em while you can.

Swallow Me Whole is sold out of its 3rd printing, and there are only about 100 copies of Any Empire left. I’m unsure if You Don’t Say will ever be reprinted, so don’t sleep on it!

If you’re a reputable publisher or editor and have interest in offering a loving, long-term home for both Swallow Me Whole and Any Empire, please contact my literary agent Charlie Olsen (charlie@inkwellmanagement.com). Thanks!

Cover reveal for THE TWILIGHT ZONE #4

Here’s the unveiled cover for The Twilight Zone #4, which I’m writing and drawing! I’m just over halfway done with the art, and it’s coming together really nicely. I’ve learned a lot along the way, and it’s such a thrill to do an official Twilight Zone story.

Issue #4 will be released by IDW on February 4, 2026— and there are some variant covers by Nicole Goux and Francesco Francavilla as well. Please preorder a copy from your local shop before December 15th— the ISBN is 82771403461500411.

Thanks so much— please spread the word!

Shadow season update.

It’s the most wonderful season of all, as shadows grow longer— here’s what I’ve been up to:

  • I’m wrapping up the last batch of these commissioned pieces, having a blast and kinda leveling up along the way. Above is my favorite: a Magik piece with Illyana as ruler of Limbo, reigning over the skulls of vanquished demonic captors, manipulators, and abusers. Three more to finish in this batch. I’ll open up a new round of commissions early next year via Athenaeum Comic Art— you can email Sean (athenaeumcomicart@gmail.com) to snag a spot for a custom piece, or to buy a page from one of my books. (Shoutout to everyone requesting X-Men characters for these pieces!)

  • I just finished a variant cover (below) for Jeff Lemire’s fantastic series, Minor Arcana— issue number and release date will be updated once it’s set! Look out for my taking on art duties for an issue or two sometime next year.

  • I’m writing and drawing a single-issue story in The Twilight Zone #4, coming early next year from IDW— about to jump into lettering and inking this week. More to share soon! What a thrill to make an official Twilight Zone story—it’s also one of the most challenging creative exercises of my life.

  • I just finished an 8-page story with Nobel Prize-winning climate scientist Dr. David Easterling for Islands In The Sky, a star-studded comics anthology of collaborations with survivors of Hurricane Helene, as the inaugural release from the Appalachia Comics Project. You can pre-order a copy here.

  • About to do the final edits, cover, and packaging for my next graphic novel, Diana, which will be out next fall— I’ll have plenty to share about this book as soon as we officially announce it early in 2026.

I’m sure there’s more, but considering (waves generally at the terror, desperate fascism, and likely social collapse which will leave a huge number of people utterly unprepared, despite a decade’s worth of clear warnings from experts, journalists, activists, and academics), this will do for now. I hope everyone’s maintaining all right, showing up in real space with their neighbors to speak up and look out for each other, and summoning all the courage and perseverence we’ve got.

Love to humanity. Death to fascism.

Always anti-fascist.

Make it crystal clear for everyone in your life.

From yesterday’s fascist DOJ statement, essentially outlawing the naming of fascist state & paramilitary forces as such (under the banner of domestic terrorism, words themselves as an act of violence against the state and their shock troops), makes every one of us potential targets. Any one of us can be imprisoned, disappeared, or killed.

This is the point— because we have been taken over by actual, real-deal fascists.

This makes it even more urgent that we continue to show up and speak out. That’s mostly what I’ve been saying for the past 4 years: SHOW UP. Do you understand how truly horrifying things are gonna get a year from now? You can play a part in preventing and slowing that outcome.

SPX next weekend: original artwork & last copies of COME AGAIN

Next weekend I’ll be at table W64 at SPX (Bethesda North Marriott, North Bethesda MD), and I’m bringing 10 copies of the long-out-of-print, Eisner-nominated 2018 book Come Again. All are in good shape, but some are used library copies, so I’ll be selling them at a bit of a discount. Come get em while you can!

I’ll also be bringing a few pieces of original artwork for sale at the show. For a broader selection of my original pages, check out what’s for sale at Athenaeum Comic Art— thanks!

Domino commission.

Here’s a recently completed commission of Domino from X-Force/X-Men! I had a fantastic time doing this one.

My in-progress commissions are penciled, and I’m working through the inks on all of them right now, followed by colors for those which need it. My commission slots are closed for now, but I’ll probably take on a new batch of them early in 2026 via Sean from Athenaeum Comic Art, who also has a bunch of my published original artwork for sale here, if you’re interested.

Thanks, everyone, for your support!
