KIRBY DAY

It's Jack Kirby's birthday. The word genius is one that’s often overused, and cheapened by that overuse, but if the comic book business has ever produced a genius, Jack Kirby was it. I could go on rhapsodizing about Kirby's brilliance—but instead I'll point you to this essay I wrote some years back, paying tribute to my favorite comic books of all time: Jack Kirby's "Fourth World."

Happy Birthday, Jack. Hope you're having fun sailing across Creation on your surfboard of imagination. And thank you for all you've given us.

RAY DAY

I was traveling yesterday, returning from ten days away from the white noise of the so-called Real World, so I didn't get to note a very auspicious day: the birthday of the late, truly great, Ray Bradbury. I could sing Ray B's praises anew here, but instead I'll simply link you to this earlier post where I make it clear why Bradbury was, and remains, a writer whose work will always echo through my life and heart.

Happy Birthday, Ray—wherever in this miraculous universe you are!

ROBIN LIVES...AGAIN

Wednesday sees the realease of Robin Lives! #2. Here's the hype, straight from DC...

And here are some preview pages. I've had a great time returning to the dark alleys of Gotham. Hope you enjoy the journey, too.

THAT'S A WRAP! (OR IS IT?)

That's a wrap for Phase 2 of the DeMultiverse Kickstarter! Massive thanks to our sensational supporters, the incredibly gifted collaborators who brought the visions in my head to life with such grace and power, and the amazing David Baldy of Spellbound Comics!

But wait! If you missed the Kickstarter cutoff—or have a friend who might be interested in our books—don’t despair: Thanks to a new feature on Kickstarter, you can continue to support us until we close the campaign down, which won't be for a few months as we wrap up the final assembly of the comics and the TPB.

Yes, the campaign is over but the journey goes on. And it’s all because of our supporters. Thank you all!

A MESSAGE FROM THE DeMULTIVERSE

A quick word as we enter the final days of the campaign...

THE OMNIVERSE MEETS THE DeMULTIVERSE MEETS THE LUNATICS

One of my favorite podcasters is Eric Anthony of the Omniverse Comics Guide. No matter the subject, we end up taking a deep dive into life, the universe and everything. Here's our latest chat.

And there's more! I made a return visit to the Capes and Lunatics podcast, where I'm a frequent guest, and I to talk DeMultiverse, Spidey, Bats, and other things with Capes' always-amiable host, Phil Perich.
