I got a look at Absolute Batman #1 when it was just a stack of Nick Dragotta’s unlettered inks. It was clear that this was special and fresh; an incredible feat for a character that’s been around as long as Batman. Amazing work from @Ssnyder1835 and Nick. Order with confidence!

With Star Wars #50 out today, the end of a 70+ issue run (including the crossovers,) I’m considering a retrospective of the series as a whole - like installments in my newsletter. I only send one a month, tho. This would have to be bigger/more frequent. Weekly? Hmm.

John Cassaday was a once-in-ever talent. I’m so lucky I got to work with him a bit here and there. The worst thing about making it work in a creative field is that you get to know geniuses and then you have to watch them go. RIP.

Star Wars #50 is out this coming week. My name’s on it, like it was on the other 49. Come Wednesday, I’m going to take a minute to sit with that. I hope you’ll check out the final issue in this wild run of stories. I’d love to talk about it.

Reaction to the announcement of the new book from @ryanbrowneart and me at DragonCon this weekend has been pretty great. Folks seem excited to follow us to the next story, and it’s incredibly energizing. If you’re at the show, we’ll be at table 109 in Artist’s Alley today!
