I completely missed the April order date and it devastated me. Will I still be able to buy this book somehow/somewhere after it's released? Goodness, I'm hoping so. 🤞🏻

Jeff, you have been a huge inspiration to me since I’ve discovered your work two years ago. Thank you for your work, for your dedication, for your transparency and your generosity. Even your old blog is still a gold mine for aspiring artists. I really can’t wait to get my copy of the memoir, as I freaking love process material.

Talking about process material, I’d really really love seeing some inking process video if you get the time to do so some day, those are rare but awesome when you can find it.

Thank you again Jeff, keep up the good work and take care, I really hope you’re doing well. And sorry if that message sounds a bit corny, but I really wanted to let you know how much you mean to me as an artist.

Stop butchering Scandal Savage

Sorry you aren't enjoying my characterization of Scandal. Her involvement in JSA will end with issue #12. I'm sure another writer/series will include her soon, and hopefully the next take will be more to your liking. Thanks.

Sorry you didn’t bother to do any research into her character before you decided to use her. Maybe next time you’ll do that so you don’t completely butcher her. Just a little heads up. She’s not a villain and she’s definitely not just a female version of her dad

Thanks.

Almost worse than what Tini did to her

Preordered months and months ago! Can’t wait!

Only because I don’t see it in the Table of Contents - will this have stuff about your time at Valiant? Loved your work with Kindt on The Valiant and then, of course, on Bloodshot

There’s not a lot about the Valiant days. But maybe I’ll try and do a Substack pots about that one day!

VERY exciting news. Apologies if already answered, but any chance you'll be signing these in San Diego this July??

Then I guess it will be another SDCC that I harass you (aka wait peacefully in line) to say hello and have you scribble away for me! Safe to assume us members will get a free copy of the book, too??

I was literally just thinking about this. I remembered seeing the first announcement a while ago and was wondering when it was coming out. I can't remember if you've mentioned this already but is it the same stuff as is in your old substack posts or is it all new stuff? I'll probably buy it either way but I'm just curious.

The Substack post only encompass the first half of the book, and even those have been revised and expanded in many cases.

That's really cool that it's not just a compilation of your substack posts. I think I'm going to have to reread all of your books before it comes out. I was already in the middle of a reread of Essex County.
