Hi all,
Just announced — I am the writer of the upcoming Archie Meets Riverdale One-Shot for Archie Comics (Maybe you’ve heard of them from being good at the grocery store??!!).
Amazing cover by one of my favorite collaborators, Derek Charm (of Valiant High) and equally amazing variant cover by the extraordinary Ben Caldwell.
Since it’s not quite as easy to find comics next to the bananas these days, you can pre-order a physical copy from directly from ArchieComics.com to be sent to your home mailbox.
It’s only $3.99 for 20+ pages of Classic Archie jokes and romance meets Bonkers Riverdale CW-style drama.
My hope is that — no offense to Marvel and D.C. — this is a comic book that literally everyone who knows me could enjoy on some level, without needing to know what Thanos had for breakfast in 1973. All of those $3.99’s add up and we would love your support.
So would your favorite local comic shop if you prefer to give them a call and pre-order it there.

Let’s see, what else is in the news.

Updated Mondays until I can’t take it anymore. Here’s some recent first panels out of context.
Anything can happen … and usually does!
“How is the baby, all we care about is the baby.”
Baby’s good, baby crawls now. Baby rides in a car in a puffy bear suit, baby eats little morsels. She’s good.

Currently Reading/Watching:
The aforementioned Good Baby™ does have her own, very unique schedule though which means a lot of reading Kindle in dark rooms in the middle of the night and/or watching movies before dawn during a bottle feeding, so I invite you to—
🎥 Follow Me on Letterboxd where I’m trying to break 100 movies this year (which I usually don’t) and review each one (albeit briefly and usually cryptically).
📖 Follow Me on Goodreads where you can see what I’m reading and writing, but I don’t review anything (unless Jen wrote it, and then it gets an unbiased five stars).
Old News:
Watch Inside Job on Netflix, purchase Princess Dinosaur here or from your favorite children’s bookstore near you, and as Charlie Brown says, “Keep the ball low, don’t leave your crayons in the sun [and] never volunteer to be a program chair.”
Okay, I think that’s everything.
