Have you told your LCS about Something Beyond the Petrichor’s rerelease through Lunar and Philbo?
Out this upcoming January and each subsequent month until April, this four-issue series shouldn’t be missed!

Feeling a bit behind lately. Not sure if it’s because of a bankrupt comic distributor, poor social media use, or general lack of reader interest, but I seem to have gone from “Writer of 2024’s Best Original Graphic Novel” to “Owner of World’s Emptiest Email Inbox” within a year.

When “Something Beyond the Petrichor” was originally conceived, my son was on the way and I wanted to leave him a message that he could hold in his hands and remember when he flipped through his dad’s silly book.

Got to drop by @mingchen37.bsky.social’s booth after a busy Sunday to drop off Death Comes for the Toymaker, Grandma Tilly’s Hell-Tech, and Something Beyond the Petrichor. Thanks so much for being so cool, Ming!

While comic pitching slows due to a recovering distribution system, I’ve decided to dust off a horror script and send it to some film contacts I’ve made thanks to interest in adapting my comic work.
The script is outlined. Act one is written. The scares are scary and the spooks are spooky.

Nothing like a hometown con!

I may not have any big comic announcements at the moment, but I just beat TMNT 3: The Manhattan Project with no save states and no damage from Super Shredder, so big things are still happening in my life.

The reviews keep coming! “Something Beyond the Petrichor” by me and @neridacomic.bsky.social is proving to be quite the read! Have you picked up a copy of the first issue of this Red 5 Comics series? What did you think?

It’s always a blast to get new readers and chat with fellow comic fans at cons, and the added bonus is the fun friends you bring home with you. Meet “Hallie Ween”, the new kitchen witch gracing our oddities cabinet.

There’s a debate in indie comics as to whether or not a creator should go the self-publishing route or take the journey alongside a publisher.
Despite a bumpy path created by a fluctuating industry, I’m so happy to have made the journey with publishers like @magmacomix.bsky.social and #red5comics.
