Lots to do, and I'm very tired. Small, ignorable tasks have accumulated until they must be tackled, lest they become large and unignorable. Flights must be booked, admin must be adminned, and conventions must be planned for. It's mid September and I just want to go
This is a big release week: the Spider-Woman 50th Anniversary Special, M.A.S.K. #4, and the "Start Here" reprint of Batman: Dark Patterns #1 are all in stores. Spider-Woman contains a 13 page story that sets up the status quo for the new Spider-
Going to try experimenting with slightly shorter and more frequent newsletters. Let's see how that goes. Last week I finished up both Spider-Woman issue 3 and Project Sledgehammer issue 3. The latter is a book I believe won't drop until the third quarter of next
I failed to get one of these out in July. In my defense, a lot happened in July and New York appears to have been relocated to about three inches away from the sun. But that does mean I have lots to talk about. Here goes... Two of the projects
Out now from DC Comics: Nightwing 139. That means it's 20 issues since I began writing the character with issue 119. Which is bonkers. This is my favourite issue so far, and it pulls in a character I've really wanted to revisit. Sod it, it'
Hello, it's been a minute, hasn't it? Sorry about that. Busy. Here's what busy looks like as a comic book writer: I'm at a place where I'm somewhat out ahead on most of my projects. Which is good, because there
Next week sees the release of Nightwing 136. The new art team of Denys Cowan, Norm Rapmund and Francesco Segala join the book. DC tell us we've had quite the sales bump for the issue in terms of preorders, so I'm glad people seem as excited
This week sees the release of Nightwing 135. The final chapter of the Zanni/Cirque Du Sin story we've been telling across 17 issues and one annual. Not everyone's going to make it out of this one. Preview pages here. Dexter Soy is back on art
DC solicitations for March were released yesterday, revealing that the ongoing artist joining Nightwing is Denys Cowan. Denys is a legend in the industry; a founder of Milestone Media, co-creator of Static, and the artist of The Question, one of the best ever DC Comics runs- one of the
For those who've been asking: no, I'm not leaving Nightwing. Dexter Soy, who's been my co-conspirator on the book since issue 119 across the Cirque Du Sin storyline, announced last week that 135 was his last issue on the title, and he'
The writer Alex Paknadel likes to insist to me that Gotham City is Chicago. I tell him he's wrong, that it's bloody called Gotham, and Gotham does and always has meant bloody New York. It's a nickname born of Gotham in England, a village
Living 3000 miles from where I was raised, Britbox is my portal back home. A streaming service that's not jammed full of adverts, but instead loaded up with British television. I get my money's worth out of it, more than most others. It's full
