It’s Almost Release Day!!!!

[kessel--run]

Second announcement before I close out this Incognito tab for the time being.

I turned 30 last August, and the night before my birthday I got blackout drunk with my wife and my best friend. I had a mental breakdown, confessed some embarrassing shit to them, and came to the conclusion after a week or two of dwelling on it that I’m queer.

i’m Polysexual, which is under the Bisexual+ umbrella. It’s not related to polyamory but because people want to conflate the two I use queer or bi-adjacent when coming out to people.

It’s been a journey for me and my wife, and she’s very supportive through the process. I’m still unpacking things and working towards undoing a lot of internalized issues I have. But with the help of my wife, my therapist, my friends, our very progressive and affirming church, and a lovely discord support group for bi men, I’m coming to terms with myself.

So I’m not returning to this blog for any kind of regular use, but for anyone who’s still here’s and follows me I have two announcement (the second will be a separate post).

The comic I’ve been working on for over 3 years will be releasing on a biweekly basis starting next week. My artist Phineas is amazing (I’ll see if he has a tumblr, if not his insta is tagged in the linked post) and I’m so excited to get it out to the world.

Please consider following my page, giving it a read, and (if you’re willing) support us on Patreon.

There’s something really cool about seeing the artistic process come together. You put words on the page, and you imagine what the art may look like. And, at least in my case, what I saw in my mind was blown away by @tentacledeity ‘s art. Remember, the release date of Page 1 is March 16 (or March 15 if you subscribe to specific tiers on our Patreon). https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca1yYKBuLn9/?utm_medium=tumblr

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen Superman in its entirety, but why not make my first viewing on the big screen? (at Cinemark Monroeville Mall) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq8beUIAm0q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1eciq7d7jnjzu

Great artwork and no offense, but why wasn’t Marc Spector Bucky’s choice for Hanukkah dinner. He’s an actual Avenger and also Jewish????

Happy Hanukkah, everyone, from these two jerks! I’m posting this a little early this year. Line art by the amazing Ro Stein & Ted Brandt, and colour art by @deecunniffe. 

I want to point out what a technical achievement this story is on the art side. There’s a real joy to creating a whole story in eight panels, but this? This is some magic. We introduce four new characters. In panel 5, SIX PEOPLE are talking. SIX. In the world of comics, that’s almost un-doable. 

Yet Ro and Ted arranged everything so the conversations flow and are sensibly grouped, all the “acting” is fantastic, and then Dee laid on top these beautiful, almost fairytale colours – look at the subtle work, the blush in Henry’s cheeks, Frank’s five o-clock shadow, the shine of the wine bottle’s glass surface, the light texturing in the backgrounds… and of course the snow! This is some first-class illustration work on an incredibly hard script. (I fear Ro and Ted always get me at my worst – my very formalist script for them in the 24 Panels anthology was no cakewalk either. (The problem is, they’re just so damn good at it… check out their work on the Image comic Crowded!)

As always, if you like what we do in Hells Kitchen Movie Club, consider donating a little to a veteran’s charity. 

(I also have a thriller novel I’m crowdfunding, please check it out, we are more than halfway there. The book is all written…)
