SHADOWMAN issue 2 comes out this week! The response to the first issue was really positive, and the early reviews of issue 2 have been great as well. I can’t wait for you to see where this thing is going!
The hellscape known as the Deadside has pried open a doorway to Earth in Enoch, Arizona! And our only chance at survival against the awoken desert beasts is SHADOWMAN.
Here is a cool recap of the first issue (and a sneak peek at issue 2) - https://t.co/AmeT4u9TJD?amp=1
And here is an early review of our second issue - https://sodaandtelepaths.com/exclusive-first-review-shadowman-2/

Dynamic Forces ran an interview with me about my upcoming horror/revenge series BASILISK. Check it out if you want to get some hints about what to expect from the upcoming series! You can read the interview here.
Orders on this book have been really strong, and I really think it is going to sell out pretty fast. You do not want to miss it.
The first issue of the series is in shops June 2!

I mentioned this idea I had for Patreon last week, and I think I’m getting started with it this week.
I'm going to develop a new comic series on Patreon. I'll take it from the initial concept, through concept refinement, through the pitch development, through scripting (at least 1 chapter or issue), through finding an artist, and through the pitching process. If the book finds a home with a publisher, I'll let patrons know how that is proceeding, too.
None of this will be based on any idea that I currently have. It will be developed on Patreon. This means, of course, that the idea might "die on the vine" and I'll then start working up another idea. It will also mean that if the comic ever sees publication, the story will be well and truly spoiled for patrons, but that’s okay.
This will be something completely new, the development of a new idea from the ground up.
Since it will be very heavy behind-the-scenes stuff, I'll open it up at the $5 patron level.
You can check out the Patreon here.

One of my Dungeons and Dragons campaigns is wrapping up in the next couple of weeks, and I’ve decided I’m going to dive back into running Call of Cthulhu as a replacement. I’ve been digging through my collection of CoC supplements, and it’s just amazing how much awesomeness is crammed into those pages. Those books are just treasure troves of inspiration—especially the material Pagan Publishing was putting out in the early 90s. Of course, looking through this stuff sparks my interest in collecting those books again. I have a ton of those books... but it is never enough!

A new series has been announced from Dark Horse!
LUCKY DEVIL is by Fran Galan, El Torres, and myself. It is an initial 4-issue series, but (assuming readers want more) we could tell many more stories in this world and with these characters. A series of miniseries. The story follows despondent schlub Stanley, who finds himself possessed by a powerful demonic spirit. In a rare moment when he is in control, he scrapes together enough money for a bargain basement exorcism. The exorcism works! The demon is sent packing. But all of the demon’s infernal powers remain with Stanley. What does an ordinary guy with all the power of a demon lord do? Well, discovering that is part of the fun. Suffice it to say, the Lords Below do not approve of Stanley’s antics.
The series announcement (and a few preview pages) were posted on IGN. You can read the piece here.
LUCKY DEVIL arrives in August.
HAIL STANLEY!
