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

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

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

Are we all feeling rested? Very good. I spent the holidays in Wisconsin, which means I saw my first white Christmas in probably a decade. Once snow appears on the ground, my Spotify inevitably becomes riddled with black metal. It's snowy music, but it isn't very
