SWTHRA: Pathfinders, by @georgemann.bsky.social w/ art by Partha Pratim & covers by @jakebartok.bsky.social, is set 20 years after our Phase II storytelling. It's an expansion of the era & a great entry point into #StarWarsTheHighRepublic. It features a new cast and maybe a recognizable face or two.

Just announced at NYCC!

I’m creating covers for @georgemannauthor’s awesome new Star Wars miniseries ‘Pathfinders’ for Dark Horse Comics. The first two covers were shown off featuring some old and some new faces.

New. @idwpublishing.com Star Trek: Voyager Omnibus.
My idea of an omnibus is a 10+ lb book containing, at minimum, 2 dozen issues covering a specific arc & this is not that.
This has 2 Voy series, "Seven's Reckoning" & "Mirrors and Smoke" + a couple of short stories.

So many nickels!

Which are kinda worthless to me since I’m also Australian but now there’s three!

Jake Bartok @jakebartok.bsky.social · 19d

If I had a nickel for every time an Aussie played Wolverine. I’d have two, which isn’t a lot but it’s funny it happened twice.

I love Batman but honestly I’m a bigger fan of the kids. I always wanted to be Robin growing up.

First time working on a sketch cover, I’ve had a bunch of blank ones for a while now but I’ve been low key terrified of messing them up. Here’s Captain James T. Kirk!
