One week until THE TWILIGHT ZONE #4

Just one week until the release of The Twilight Zone #4— my first single-issue solo comic since 2008, I believe! Please order one from your local comics shop, or if you don’t have a shop nearby, you can order one directly from me here (sorry about the shipping cost— might as well order something else too, and ultimately save on the shipping!).

If you’re near Bloomington, I’ll be doing a local signing for the book’s release on Saturday, Feb. 7th at Vintage Phoenix Comics (114 E. 6th) from 2-4pm. See you there— please spread the word!

'THE TWILIGHT ZONE' #4 now available for signed pre-orders

The Twilight Zone #4 will be out February 4th from IDW— please order one from your local shop to make sure they have some!

In case you don’t have a nearby comics shop, I’m now taking pre-orders for signed copies, which I’ll mail out as soon as they arrive. I use a flat shipping rate for all of my mailorders, and that can make this single issue kinda expensive, so you might consider adding one of my other books to your order, as you’ll save on the total shipping cost. Thanks!

If you’re in Bloomington, I’ll be doing a local book-release signing at Vintage Phoenix Comics (114 E. 6th) on Saturday, February 7th from 2-4pm. See you there!

Things to come in 2026.

Most important of all, let’s continue to work individually and collectively to halt the spread of fascism— and to preserve the remains of democracy in our society. Let’s look out for our neighbors— especially the ones we don’t know. Let’s continue fighting back against the immense multifaceted harms of artificial intelligence. Let’s recognize that social media does not provide freedom, real communication, or opportunity— it is not the future — and chart a new course.

I’ve been continuously at work nearly every day for over a year, so here’s a roundup of many things on the horizon in 2026:

I wrote and drew The Twilight Zone #4, which will be out Feb. 4th from IDW. If you live in Indiana, I’ll be doing a signing for its release at Bloomington’s own Vintage Phoenix Comics (114 E. 6th) on Saturday, Feb. 7th from 2-4pm. See you there!

The biggest news is the release of my next graphic novel, Diana, in early fall 2026! Expect an official announcement in a month or so— along with a long-awaited reissue of one of my previous Eisner-nominated books. I’ll be traveling a lot during the fall for the release of Diana, so please write me (seemybrotherdance@yahoo.com) if you’d like me to be a special guest at your comic/book expo— I’m already making plans. Thank you!

In February, I’ll be opening up another ten slots for commissioned artwork via Athenaeum Comic Art— I had a blast doing these last year and really enjoyed drawing the requested subjects! The previous slots were all filled within a day, so don’t sleep on this.

Sometime in 2026 will see the release of Islands In the Sky from the Appalachia Comics Project— I collaborated with Nobel Prize-winning climate scientist Dr. David Easterling on an 8-page story about his experiences and knowledge surrounding Hurricane Helene’s catastrophic hit on his community. You can still preorder one (and get more info) here!

I’ll have an exhibit of my artwork going up in January at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, with an event/talk/signing in April.

Five March pieces of mine currently in the “Imprinted: Illustrating Race” exhibit will be moving to the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, TN this spring— stay tuned for the details.

I’ll be doing a volley of events in Cleveland, OH this March 20-21, including a live drawing session as artist-in-residence at the Cleveland Museum of Art, as well as an author event & signing. Stay tuned!

I’m quietly working on a comic with friend and lyrical torchbearer Jonathan Vance from the singularly influential band Moss Icon, and hope to self-publish the first issue in 2026.

That’s all I’ve got— see you out there!

Death to fascism. Light and love to humanity.

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.
