AMARTITHI 2022

On January 31, 1990, I sat just outside Meher Baba's Tomb-Shrine in Meherabad, India, my head resting against the cool stone, surrounded by thousands of His dear ones—all of us joined in fifteen minutes of silence to commemorate the day when the Avatar of the Age dropped His body to live on in the hearts of His lovers. It was a profound, unique, and unforgettable experience that bypassed the mind and settled into the deeps of my soul. It lives there still.

Wishing a very Happy Amartithi to my Meher Baba family around the world.

CRAWLING

Had a great, spider-centric chat with the Spider-Man Crawlspace podcast the other day.  We covered Ben Reilly: Spider-Man, The Child Within, Kraven's Last Hunt and more.  Enjoy!

CLONING AROUND

Ben Reilly: Spider-Man #1 is on sale today and I couldn't be happier with the way our first issue turned out.  Set in the days of the Clone Saga, the story take a deep dive into Ben's psyche as—back in New York, back in the Spider-suit—he tries to build a life from the ground up.  

Hope you all enjoy it!  (And wait till you see what's coming over the course of the next four issues!)

THE LIFE OF REILLY

It's farewell to the JLU but hello to another old friend.

Ben Reilly: Spider-Man #1 is out next week (January 19th, to be precise) and I couldn't be more excited about working with David Baldeon, Israel Silva, and our editor Danny Khazem on this book.  Playing in the Spiderverse again, reuniting with my old pal Ben, has been a genuine delight.  Hope you all enjoy the series.

You can read a four-page preview below!

AN INFINITE FAREWELL

The final issue of Justice League Infinity—the conclusion of our seven issue, mulitversal epic—is out now.  It's been a genuine pleasure working with James Tucker, Ethen Beavers, Nick Filardi, Andrew Marino, Tom Napolitano, DC Hopkins, and  our amazing array of cover artists, bringing the world of Justice League Unlimited back to life.

Will there be more?  My understanding is that it depends on sales of the collected edition, which will be out in the spring—so we'll keep fingers crossed and hope for the best.

Hope everyone enjoys our grand finale!
