It’s #PortfolioDay again! Over the last 20 years, I’ve transitioned from being an award-winning critic at Thirteen Minutes and the late Comics Bulletin, to being a writer at DC/Vertigo, Dark Horse, Boom!, and Madefire, to freelance editing at Image and Studio 12-7. 📚 💥




Comic-Con is here! Now Or Never is the only comic book store in downtown San Diego, and the only comic shop within 5 miles of the con, so it’s always the biggest week of our year. In addition to comics and toys, here’s what we’ve got cooking this week!
Enjoyed the dark humor of finding this at my workplace.

I’m really enjoying all of these Howard-verse titles, the main Conan series, Savage Sword, Solomon Kane, et al. ⚔️
Arriving in September: SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN #10

I ran across this article that intersects with some of the research I did for Starship Down.



We're launching a brand new crowdfunding project today on @Crowdfundr, this time to publish 7 new books from 7 great creators as a part of our summer 2025 season! crowdfundr.com/fmp-summer2025
Good luck figuring out what’s coming out each week with all the distribution chaos, but these might be some books I’ll be picking up this week, or next week, or some other week, or never.❓🤷♂️ 📚




Our friends Justin and Art are on a panel at SDCC! You met them in the shop selling their book California Inc, swing by and say hello.
