You have chosen the winner of the “Haunting Hook” Scary Story Opener Writing Contest! Congratulations to Amy Chase!
Had my latest comic script approved today by the editor and I keep having little moments of, "Oh my god! I'm making a comic! With an artist I've wanted to work with for years!" and it's a good feeling.
"Do you know who I am? They call me-"
Permit me my Halloween vanity- I may be dressed as
@birdsofpreywb
Huntress but I feel like a goddamn DC Bombshell! 😉 I'm so happy with how this costume came out.
Comics writers, if you aren't using your voice to uplift and recognize everyone collaborating with you on a story, you're wasting everyone's time. No script is so precious you cannot celebrate the artists and ensure you are spotlighting their work to the audience.
"When you're lost in the darkness, look for the light."
Happy Halloween, everyone- this year, I challenged myself to become a Clicker from The Last of Us. Really proud of how this one turned out. Apologies to the old man I scared this morning getting to my car.
So, Spirit Halloween corrected the rogue catsuit mistake and, look, it's Halloween costume quality but I'm stoked as hell to have a Crossbow Killer look in my closet. 😉 I am FEELING this crop top!
Oh my god, I can't believe the squirrel who terrorized my neighbors is comic book famous!
@unbeatablesg
this is amazing, I'll have to have her sign my comic next time she drops through their chimney!!!
@GailSimone
Was once accused of only being hired by a comic store to help "sell comics with my sex". Ah yes, because minimum wage and condescending men just put me over the edge.
I got a wow from Kieron Gillen, a like from Joss Whedon, and someone tried to explain who Beta Ray Bill was to me on my pun tweet. I think I finished the main Twitter quest? Everything else is just bonus EXP.
Quick shot of my full She-Hulk look from our Halloween costume parade at work! It's surprisingly easy being green when you feel as fabulous as Shulkie. 💪💚 (based on the Adi Granov statue!)

A woman asked about representation for bald (but not from cancer) women in comics during a Marvel panel. When the panelists supplied the examples of Moondragon and the Dora Milaje, the woman who has asked said, "Well, those don't count". It was very odd!
I've been reading comics since 2012. Writing comics since 2015. Didn't actually hit my stride til this year, and in 2021 alone I've written 7 complete scripts, pitched to two anthologies, and I have at least one other project nebulously floating through the end of the year.
I was going to take a nicer picture of my new renfaire sword but this tired and sweaty picture from last night after a 12 hour day really encapsulates the whole vibe so please enjoy this instead
I've finally finished Part 1 of my Marvel-inspired War of the Realms DND 5e Homebrew that I teased over the holidays. I've never written out an adventure like this, but I hope it's fun! 5 pages of Minotaur-bashing fun and sassy Roz Solomon! Download here:
We lost an incredible comics voice today. Trina was a true trailblazer and I'm grateful to have gotten to work with her for a brief moment on WON'T BACK DOWN. She was the real deal, making comics up until the last call. She lived one hell of a life.
The fact that we just lost Ramona Fradon and now Trina Robbins feels like a twist of the knife. Trina was a pioneer in every sense of the word, the woman behind the first all-woman comic "It Ain't Me Babe Comix" in 1970 and she kept that energy for the rest of her life.
NUMFAR, DO THE DANCE OF SHAME!!!
Couldn't let Halloween night go by without doing another costume- in honor of starting Buffy/Angel this year, I present everyone's favorite party-throwin' Pylean, Lorne!
I think this year's Wolfram and Hart party topped all the rest, don't you?
I want to extend my deepest, heartfelt thanks to everyone who picked up a copy of Pop's, came to our signing, stopped by my Wondercon panel, or shared a kind word with me this last week.
It was a hugely impactful experience, and I hope to share even more stories with you soon!
The face of a girl who got wrecked 20 minutes into scrimmage at tryouts but still made the B-Team for her roller derby league! Just gotta rest up from this knee injury and then Tuffy the Vampire Skater rides again! 🧛♀️🛼❤️
Just finished co-writing the biggest comic I've ever tackled- in terms of scale, license, and sheer concept. And I got to write it with one of my favorite people, and we've got some of the most amazing artists on it. I really cannot wait for you all to find out about it!!!
I don't WANT to start a podcast, per se, but god I want to do a podcast about Buffy the Vampire Slayer comics because I want other people to know how TRULY RIDICULOUS some of them get.
Saw a comic store selling this issue for $150 this week and I remember going to a con in 2013, finding this issue at a comic seller booth for $10, and the cashier laughed, said "Eh. I'll give it to you for $5, no one wants that issue."
I love watching comics speculation get hilarious bumps in value because of the films. What If Jane Foster Found the Hammer of Thor? used to be a dollar bin book. There's a 9.8 copy pushing $700 on eBay with 26 bids. Laughs in "I bought it for cheap almost a decade ago".
@GailSimone
Another panel, an audience member asked the spotlight artist, "Since you spend so much time drawing comics for work, are you neglecting your husband?" Also very odd!!!

Apparently I was the first person to get the injection in the right arm this morning. By the time I said, "Yeah, I'm left-handed," the nurse was done. Dose 2 acquired. Now we wait for the ass-kicking. Wish me monsters!

Putting this energy out into the world: in the next three years I wanna see my name on a damn comic book cover or book dust jacket. I'm gonna do it, I swear.
Okay- it was requested for me to show my entire Thor variant collection. If you have any respect left for me, it might be lost or tripled by this post alone.
Firstly, here's every issue stacked on their sides. This is just Jane's tenure as Thor from Aaron and Dauterman's run.
Today has been such a wonderful experience. More pics to come, but thank you to everyone who picked up a copy of POP'S CHOCK'LIT SHOPPE OF HORRORS today. You're welcome back any time, Pop’s treat! 🍔🥰💖
if you are an editor leaving notes on my script and write even so much as a "LOL" of praise next to a joke, please know I ride that high for DAYS and keep going back to the note for hits of serotonin at random intervals throughout the day
