UPDATES ! BLACK HAMMER, ABSOLUTE FLASH and MORE!

Greetings Farmhands

Been a while since I’ve had any time to do a regular update on my various projects. I’ve been plugging away at drawing Minor Arcana and trying to get ahead on scripts, but I thought I would try and catch you up on all the latest…

ABSOLUTE FLASH

Issue 14 of Absolute Flash hit stores last week and featured Wally and Linda’s adventures in the “Mirror Dimension”. This one featured a fun “upside down” sequence that pulled from a few tricks I learned on my 2013 Vertigo series, Trillium. This issue also teased the Absolute version of S.T.A.R.Labs as well as the characters of Ray Palmer and Silas Stone (can Absolute Vic Stone/Cyborg be far behind?!)

Issue 15, drawn by series regular Nick Robles, will, in fact, be the first appearance of the Absolute ATOM (cover above!) This is sort of a full circle moment for me, as my very first DC writing job was The Atom as a back-up feature in Adventure Comics back in 2009.

Issues 16-17 will be titled “Gorilla City” where we’ll catch up with Grodd and The Rogues, and then #18-19 gives us Absolute Hunter Zolomon and the first appearance of another surprise Absolute incarnation of an old Flash villain. (Nick’s cover below…)

CROWBOUND

My next ongoing Image series with Dustin Nguyen will launch in September! We are going to have lots of Crowbound news very soon, but I can reveal that Dustin and I will be signing a very limited preview Ashcan of Crowbound #1 at San Diego Comicon this July.

Here’s the first look ever at some interior artwork from Issue #3…

BLACK HAMMER

I can’t say too much yet, but, in addition to the Crowbound Ashcan, there will also be a huge announcement about the next phase of Black Hammer comics this July at San Diego Comicon.

2026 marks the 10th anniversary of Black Hammer and we’ll be celebrating in style with a major new BH series written by me and drawn by an artist who I have admired for a long time.

This mystery artist and I will be on hand at SDCC to announce the series, and sign an exclusive new print. More details as we get closer to July.

That’s it for now, I’ll be back soon with some updates and news on Minor Arcana!
