Hi #portfolioday, I'm David! I'm a writer & editor! Currently looking for comics writing work (licensed or original--I've got pitches, webcomics okay, NSFW okay) and long-term employment in editorial or a related gig! Hire me!

The A cover to Transformers Wreckers: Tread & Circuits by Jack Lawrence and Candice Han depicting the "IDW2" version of the Wreckers. They're showing off for the cameras. Clockwise: Thunderclash, Ricochet, Minerva, Circuit, Aileron, and Hot Shot. One of several Transformers projects I wrote. I also edited the entire line of Transformers comics for several years.

The cover to the Eisner-Award Winning Godzilla 70th Anniversary book, by E.J. Su who also has a fantastic story inside. Godzilla is destroying a town and chomping on a train. In the background, a silhouette of light in the destruction makes a giant 70. A comic I co-edited with Jake Williams at IDW (and one story edited by Jamie S. Rich). I was the Godzilla editor for a bit working on other titles as well.

The cover to Power Rangers Prime #5 (which makes the Pink Ranger look more purple than he really is). Depicting the Prime team. Clockwise from top: Red, Yellow, Black, Pink, and Blue! Art by Dan Mora. I am also the former Rangers editor at BOOM! Studios.

The cover to the Sonic the Hedgehog 2022 Free Comic Book Day special. Art by Adam Bryce Thomas featuring Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails. I was the editor on Sonic at IDW from 2018-2023, as well as writing some additional materials for the book, including a recap back-up story in this very issue!
