Some treasured souvenirs from San Diego Comic Con. Among them: A Midnight Fantastic Four cap, a Midnight ashcan, and these two incredible original pages from Josh Cassara from our X-Force days (that feature cameos from a certain hirsute Minnesotan). #sdcc #sdcc2026 #marvelcomics
Me going from the solitude of the Minnesota woods to the shoulder-to-shoulder crowds of San Diego Comic Con.
Some wild Midnight Fantastic Four variant covers from @ryanstegman.bsky.social , @benharveyart.bsky.social , and Leinil Yu. #fantasticfour #marvelcomics
There is no bad mood in me that cannot be cured by a Rocky movie. What’s your go-to comfort film or franchise?
Mandatory Minnesota pilgrimage to Paisley Park. Could only take photos in a single room inside, but the studio tour was the highlight for me.
Highly recommend Partially Devoured by Daniel Kraus — which is at once a frame-by-frame dissection of the seminal film, a muscular work of cultural and historical analysis, and a covert memoir. #horror #horrorbooks #zombies #nightofthelivingdead #romero
Another Marvel-ous mail day. #punisher #deadpool #starwars #marvelcomics
Thanks to @joshmalerman.bsky.social for the kind words. Hotline drops in 2027, but preorders are now live at the @badhandbooks.bsky.social website. badhandbooks.com/purchasedire... #horror #horrorfiction
The Dungeons of Doom hardcover doesn't drop until Oct, but we're hearing the pre-orders are REALLY strong. So thank you, readers and retailers. I co-wrote this horror anthology w/ @phillipkjohnson.bsky.social . The scary talented artists: Robert Gill, Georges Jeanty, Carlos Magno, and Justin Mason.
All three Midnight titles - Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, and X-Men - will drop on the same day of spooky season: Oct 7th. For more intel: www.marvel.com/articles/com... Enjoy the beauty of this Kev Walker cover. #fantasticfour #marvelcomics #marvelmidnight
Oh, man. I might have to get this cover framed. Coming soon. Cover art by Samuel Araya. Edited by the legendary @datlow.bsky.social . #horror #horrorfiction
Hey, gang. The graphic novel -- Punisher: Red Band (collecting issues 1-5) -- hits comics shops and bookstores everywhere today. Julius Ohta absolutely killed it on the art. Yen Nitro ruled on colors. And Checcheto gave us this iconic cover. #thepunisher #punisher #marvelcomics
Here’s a photo @phillipkjohnson.bsky.social snapped of me back in February—when we were making secret plans at Marvel HQ for the Midnight line. Very excited to bring the Lovecraftian horror to the First Family. #marvelcomics #fantasticfour #horror #horrorcomics
Lost in a cornfield in September. Buried in the snow all winter. Fob still works.
I’ve been reading @datlow.bsky.social 's Best Horror of the Year anthologies for as long as I can remember. I’m so honored to finally make the (sharp, deadly) cut with my story “Fear of the Dark” (which first appeared in the Night & Day collection). Coming soon. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Every writer (reader, editor, agent, and publicist) should have the Mountain Words Festival on their radar. They not only have an all-star roster of presenters, but you get to enjoy Crested Butte, a jewel of a town with trails and mountains all around it.
I've never written a vampire story (in prose). Until now. My novella -- HOTLINE -- releases tomorrow with Neotext, and for the next year, it will be available digitally on Kindle and over at the Neotext website. a.co/d/0g692nz7
