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

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
As a writer, you can't learn much from David Lynch. I mean, you can do whatever you want, but I wouldn't advise it. And yes, I've read Catching the Big Fish. I've read Room to Dream. I enjoyed them, but I mean
Skipped last week's newsletter as I really hit a point where I had to take "if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all" to heart. I opened Microsoft Word to start composing a rough draft, and it tried to shove AI generative writing
Bless my cotton socks, this book seems to be coming out fast. Nightwing #122 week. This issue features an extended flashback to Dick Grayson's days as Robin, which I enjoyed writing. It also gives us the first clear look at the overarching villainy we've been pitting
