We're still live on Kickstarter! Tiers starting at $7, and you can get both issues of MALICENT BLACK so far for only $12.

If you're into hard sci-fi/supernatural and characters like John Constantine and Hellboy, Malicent was made for you.

MALICENT BLACK's eyes are full-white, and she's staring directly at us.

MALICENT BLACK DEALS ONLY IN DEATH

A newsletter??? In THIS economy?! Hey, nice to have you back. Hope everyone had a great time at NYCC … I kinda felt like Robert Nevelle here, holding down the fort while almost everyone else……

I don’t know how I didn’t see this! I probably need more caffeine. That’s definitely the answer.

Thanks, Eric! 🖤

MALICENT BLACK is met with a task that may be beyond her abilities in MALICENT BLACK: MUNDICIDE, live on Kickstarter right now!

Backing/shares can be redeemed for exactly one fist bump, possibly even a high five, at the next con you see me at.

Malicent walks away from the light with a hand in her trench coat in MALICENT BLACK: MUNDICIDE.

One of my favorite writer quotes of all time.

Juno Rylee Schultz @junoryleejournalism.com · 6d

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

We have *checks document* plans for about one thousand more MALICENT BLACK stories, so if you’re into long-running series about morally gray characters that are doing their best to be a little less gray, this is a good place to jump in 🖤

I'm going to limit how much I spam about this... but! We just passed over 50%, at right around 8 hours into the campaign. That feels pretty cool 🖤

Thanks to everyone who's backed us so far, and welcome aboard to anybody seeing Malicent for the first time!
