Ends and Beginnings

Kicking off February with a galactic send-off, more from the Man in Yellow, and some Internet goings-on!

ONE MONTH DOWN!

Hey friends!

Now that we’ve made it through the start of 2026 (relatively speaking), I wanted to come back to regular newsletters over here. In relevant news, We’re only a few weeks away from the release of my last Star Wars comic (for now).

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away (2025), I celebrated the release of issue #1 with art by Phil Noto. With issue #10, I wrap up the story I’ve been telling since The Battle of Jakku in 2024. in today’s market, being able to tell 20+ issues of one story feels like a major accomplishment, and I’m grateful to have been given the opportunity!

Once again, I want to take a minute to thank Marvel and the Star Wars crew. C.B.Cebulski, Robert Simpson, Mike Siglain, Mark Paniccia, Grace Orriss, Mikey J. Basso, and Drew Baumgartner all helped shepherd this book through, month-in and month-out, and our incredible designer Carlos Lao and letterer Clayton Cowles deserve their flowers. I’d also love to give a big shout to the amazing artists I had the pleasure of working with, starting with Phil Noto, Leonard Kirk, Stefano Raffaele, Jethro Morales, Ramon Rosanas, Luke Ross, Pete Woods, Chris Sotomayor, Alex Sinclair, Rachelle Rosenberg, and more! Most importantly, I want to thank you, dear readers, for supporting us throughout this whole journey! It’s been wild to be able to tell such an important chapter of SW lore, and I appreciate the support and guidance the fandom has provided. Hope we did y’all proud.

What’s next for me? Well there’s plenty I can’t talk about, but what I can bring up is the Dick Tracy St. Patrick’s Day Special, a special one-shot issue from me, Michael Moreci, Craig Cermak, Rebekah Isaacs, Mark Englert, Marissa Louise, and special guest Tim Seeley! Enjoyed the Valentine’s Day Special last year? Then this is just the thing for you!

And don’t forget to buy the collected editions coming out this March - Deluxe Edition Vol. 2 and the Vol. 3. They collect issues 6-10 & the Valentine’s Day Special and issues #11-15 respectively, and they’re the perfect way to get back into our series before a new story kicks off in issue #16 the following month!

Did you know that I’m currently co-writing not just one, but two webcomics for you to enjoy? The first of which is The Forgotten Five, a Patreon-run series created by Sara Century and myself with art by Pat Kennedy, Dean Kotz, Craig Cermak, and Oliver Mertz, letters by Chas! Pangburn, and editing by Priya Saxena. The project just got a lovely shoutout in The Beat’s Comics Crowdfunding Round-Up. Click this link or the picture below to find out more!
