That’s right, our third issue releases this spring, making now the perfect time to catch-up. Issues #1 and 2 of Mantle — my coming-of-age superhero indie with Gian Fernando — are available on my site (link in bio) and via Kindle / Comixology! Read for as low as $4 USD.

Loved Chip Zdarsky’s Captain America #7 (w/ Delio Diaz & Frank Alpizar) and Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon #1 (w/ Luca Maresca) this week! I’m a sucker for important-feeling, slow-burn event-building, and this includes my fave Marvel Comics toys and even ties to the Ultimate U!

I had a great time talking comics this week with Carlos Collects Comics! We of course covered Mantle, but I stayed on to chat about comics I love — Punisher MAX, Stray Bullets — and memories of my work from 1995… youtube.com/live/ulmHXpWO4…

Over recent weeks I finally read Tom King’s Batman from the beginning. I know opinions vary, but I thoroughly enjoyed the big, bold swings that King and the artists (mostly Mikel Janín) sustained for 100+ comics. Brilliant. (Also, Lee Weeks is a genius.)

My goodness, Ultimates #22 by Deniz Camp and Juan Frigeri was an incredible issue, among the very best of the series. Heartbreaking confrontation between two best friends who’ve gone down opposite paths. Camp shows us how good men come to do such bad things.

The first half of Sam Kieth’s The Maxx (scripted by William Messner-Loebs) was iconic, remembered as much for the MTV show as the comics. Alan Moore wrote a bridging issue before the narrative flipped into a calmer, sadder kind of strange. It’s all well worth a (re)read.

Just finished reading Daredevil: Enemy of My Enemy by Alex Segura, a fun novel featuring the Punisher at the core of its story (which, to be honest, is why I read it). I enjoyed the book’s twists and turns and admired how it did justice to many characters from Daredevil’s world.

I’m bingeing late 90s Spidey runs that aren’t on digital. Unsurprisingly, J.M. DeMatteis’s Spectacular Spider-Man with Luke Ross stands out. I just finished #”-1”, contrasting Flash Thompson’s childhood with Peter’s. 🥺 It’s a crime these stories aren’t more readily available.
