Stay warm, everyone!
Finally got around to reading MMSM #300 and what an issue! Ziglar tells a great story and Vicentini and Valenza pulled out all the stops on the art. We go deep into the head of Rabble, Agent Gao reaches the height of her villainous descent, and Miles hits Taskmaster so hard he changes art styles!
I didnβt know how much I needed a Noir vampire story in my life until I opened Sink Your Teeth In #1. Rival vampire families, a city with vampires in its bloodstream, and a twist YOU WILL NOT SEE COMING. www.kickstarter.com/projects/dea...
Gotta say, donβt listen to the critics on this one: Mercy was an absolute thrill ride! See it in 3D if you can, because some of the spatial work was mesmerizing. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.

Saw Fantastic Four: First Steps last night and really enjoyed it. Can't stop thinking about some of it's better moments, including a scene between Sue and Reed that earned a collective gasp from the audience from Kirby's performance. But the true delight was the score, which I'll have on loop today.

TWO DAYS TO GO! Spent a good chunk of today testing out the dimensions of one of the rewards. Not the final design by any meansβor materialsβbut I used Snow White Zombie Apocalypse #1 by @brentonlengel.bsky.social and @hanaroda.net for the fit check since it matched the vibe and I like it!
Yeah this looks great! Following!
I can't even open social media anymore without immediately seeing clips from Invincible. I'm so far behind I don't even know why his suit is blue now! Sleep or binge the season? π€
THREE days left to launch! Three! That's basically no time at all, but I'm getting to the bottom of my pre-launch checklist and that's extremely exciting. It's also petrifying!
...kinda like this strange arrow the Outrider is investigating. π
Four days left before I launch Rootfolk! The one task remaining is the Kickstarter video. It's been a long time since I've done any keyframe animation, but it's really satisfying. A couple of transitions are NOT smooth yet, but I'm proud of what I've done so far. You'll see it on 3/18!
The Scriptbook for Something is Killing the Children Issue #1, lying open on a desk.
When I started writing Rootfolk, I read as many comic book scripts as I could. But compared to film, where scripts are readily available online, they were really hard to find! I have a great appreciation for creators like @jamesthefourth.bsky.social who make them available.
I announced it back in January, but Iβve finally got a launch date for my Rootfolk Kickstarter: March 18th! I canβt believe itβs just five more days until launch. Still so much to do until then, but for now the countdown is ON! Check it out here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/luk...

Dodger gets turkey every day, but we gave him a little extra tonight and he was over the moon. Now heβs on that tryptophan, and Iβm so grateful to be here in this moment with him.
Happy Thanksgiving!
