My [old/new] poem "A Body Without A Name" is free-to-read now!

I also wrote a bit about over-editing and the importance of embracing imperfection.

In college, I used to churn out 5,000 word short stories two-hours before class in a burst of god-like arrogance and never look at them again. Now I can spend thirty minutes or more just staring at…

Brittany Matter ➡️ NYCC @brittanymatter.bsky.social · Jul 8

Hi #PortfolioDay! I write and edit comics. I've written for anthologies and edited successful Kickstarter comics. I've also worked with Image, Fantagraphics, Vault, Fugitive Poems, Marvel, Second Rocket, and Negative Space.

I ❤️ comics!

📍 www.brittanymatter.com
💭 ko-fi.com/brittanymatter

Containment Breach, Fugitive Poems Volume 04: Monsters, Beasts, and Bastards. A purple-skinned woman with long black flowing hair flies through the air as her draping white dress swirls in the wind. She has long red finger nails, which match her outfit's belt and sleeve hole edges. Her dress is a deep v-neck, showing a small amount of cleavage, and her dress has a slit that shows her thigh. She looks like she's beckoning you to read the book.

Cover of Dead Dreams: The Lucid Chronicles #1 by Matter, Ogden, Downie, Ayres, Head, Wills. A Janus-like silhouette of the main characters, the dark haired Mexican-Irish Piña Axletree faces left as her doppelgänger the Matron faces upside down and right. The both hold bottles that have seductive odors coming out of them. Surrounding the top of the cover are green leaves and the bottom of the cover is Victorian-esque moulding. Cover by Dailen Ogden.

Martial Law preview page by Christian DiBari, Brittany Matter, Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, and Simon Gough. Panel 1 is looking down from the top of skyscrapers with lights from the roads below. A black drone flies in between the buildings and the lettering says: "The world's population lives in high rises. Building up beats building out." Panel 2 shows people behind skyscraper windows who are all dancing, some with robots as a man kisses another man in a loving, passionate embrace. One person with a hat and coat huddles with his arms around himself, close to the window. The right side of the window shows a black woman with a mohawk who is getting scanned by the drone outside, which is seen in the window's reflection. She holds the hand of a robot with a human face. She wars a pink bolero with a high collar and underneath, a blue corset and topped with a black fishnet over the chest. She also wears suspenders and a black skirt with blue leggings. Behind them is a hooded figure with red eyes who looks as if he's trying to escape the scan.

A reminder, since rando bros are dropping in to announce their boycott, thinking we’re pro-AI like one of our producers.

C. Robert Cargill @crobertcargill.bsky.social · 6d

There’s an interview going around about AI, so before there are any questions, let me state unequivocally that BLACK PHONE 2 is 100% organic. AI was not used at any stage of the filmmaking from idea generation, research, look books, writing, onscreen images - anything. We’re old school and love it.
