Congratulations, it’s a Grim Reaper.
Any updates on Frankenstein: Alive, Alive? When can we expect the next chapter?
Bernie is working away. We’re in the homestretch.
Hey, Steve. Thumbs-up for Black Mask. As a supporter of the occupy movement and the awareness it's raised, I look forward to more comics that go hand-in-hand with that spirit of rebellion. Black Mask seems to be, as part of its mission statement, geared towards an open, anti-establishment sensibility and I dig that, we need that. Comics are, too often, the opposite, where storylines and aesthetics prop up an entrenched status quo. Thanks again, cheers!
There’s not enough activism in comics. I’m actually stunned how so many fans really don’t seem to care about the outside world at all (See DragonCon drama). To me art and activism go hand-in-hand so Black Mask Comics was a logical step.
I love straightforward escapist entertainment as much as anybody but sometimes it’s good to have a message too.
Thanks!

From “Letters to Batman” by Steve Niles and Trevor Hairsine in Legends of the Dark Knight #3. Best Batman story I’ve read in a long while. Pick it up.
Chin Music #1 From Image Comics - “One part The Maltese Falcon, one part Necronomicon and all parts awesome.”
Chin Music is the kind of book that I love to read. It takes two themes that are already well-liked and iconic and blends them together into something innovative and completely original. In this five-issue miniseries from writer Steve Niles and artist Tony Harris, the themes are Prohibition-era Chicago and otherworldly sorcery. Oh, and blood. Lots of blood.
