Doodle of me in a dark blue hoodie at a desk, looking down at a comic and a person in a purple sweater leaning against it. 

Person: Excuse me. 
Me: Yeah, what's up?

Interview with Death

An anthology style comic project that follows Death and their Secretary navigating the workload of the afterlife.

Each story (roughly 15), written by me, will have a different artist contributing to the tale.

His temper boiled like lava but pulsed through his veins like lightning. As long as it took for him to bottle his rage, Sudriel so easily made it rise like the tides. The rings and stars around him spun like saws, flaring brighter. His hands flexed, turning into claws that would have shifted and changed even more had Sudriel not restrained him with the slightest tilt of her head. All twelve mirrors wiped away into inky blackness, and one of Sudriel’s floating claws pressed against Z’s chest, snuffing out his magic like a candle. His sunlit halo dimmed into a sunset. The rings around his wrists became chains, and the one around his neck became a collar, bringing him forcefully to his knees. He bit back a snarl as an ice cold pain pierced through him as if threatening to freeze him from the inside out. 
“I am on the edge of making an example of you. Continue to push, and you will be the lesson everyone learns from.”

“Don’t threaten me.” He could hear the snarl in his voice echo like hers. The rings glowed just the same as hers. Because he was a tool of her design. No matter what he did, no matter what he said, she would not hear him. She wouldn’t see him. The god title was generous at best.

Here's another snippet of this funky story about a Chaos God trying to find peace despite being a villain.

“Mother?!” Yonten squeaked out in surprise, not realizing how much he pressed into Primula until both gods looked at him and Jade stepped closer. He hadn’t expected such an adored goddess to be so… unsettling. Through all of her glamor, as she got closer, Yonten noticed just how perfect she was— too perfect. Her every move was smooth and purposeful. Unlike Z, who never seemed to breathe, Jade mimic’d humanity in that fashion except every breath was even and precise. Nothing about her felt natural or even relaxed. Malicious felt like the wrong word for it, but Yonten could think of no other one that would ease the pit growing in his stomach.

Our HOW TO TOUCH GRASS anthology includes a small cohort of creators in Iran. For obvious reasons, today's interview with writer Negin K. Manesh feels bittersweet.

Her story is one of joy and traditional connections with the grass of Mazandaran: buff.ly/PuJ2VVl

Why does everyone think fiction is just fantasy wish fulfillment now and not like an exploration of themes and ideas? People will be like "this movie is evil and gross because it depicts a predatory relationship" and then you watch the movie in question and it's about how preying on young women is bad and impacts their lives negatively. "Why would they do this instead of just making everyone in the movie nice and normal and good" so we would have this conversation...

It is sometimes hard to get people to 1) want an indie comic and not smth with a superhero on it and 2) read in general! Do *not* get me started on the literary crisis.

But that's my 2 cents. Would love to confidently go to cons but it is always with hesitation and mental prep.
