BLACK CLOAK #8
I APOLOGIZE.
You might be wondering which thing I am apologizing for… and it’s ALL OF IT.
I am so sorry everything is so late, guys. I promise things are on the upswing and getting better, but though I swore to myself (and to you) that I would have these up first thing on day of release I have had aboooouuuuut 6 hours of sleep over the last three days so I am pretty on the edge. And I don’t know if you’re aware but I am WAY TOO OLD FOR THAT SHIT. I am no longer 25. This body does not just do whatever the hell I tell it to do. Also, for some reason the site is being a huge pain in the ass and it took about 10 times as long as it should to load these files. AHHHH MY KINGDOM FOR THE POWER TO STOP TIME!
ANYWAY.
The good news is, things are getting much much better. I’ve still got a rough month+ ahead of me to get fully back on track — but we’re getting close to a point where life (and deadlines and promises) will all be a bit more back to normal. And I don’t want to over promise (always a mistake!) but I’m more clear headed and creative and in control of my work than I have been in… I don’t know, at least since the pandemic and that feels GREAT. And it especially feels great because I do not want this to be the Substack of broken promises! We’re better than that! And I really cannot thank all of you for being so patient with me.
The other good news is that IT’S STILL BLACK CLOAK DAY!
So without further whining, let’s get into it. <3

As always art and colors by Meredith McClaren, letters by Becca Carey, and cover/logo design by Rian Hughes.
Thanks to all of you. I’m so happy this book is back and it absolutely would not be possible without your support. <3
If you’re a paid backer looking to download the issue, it’s at the bottom so that we can give a teaser to free readers. That won’t always be the case but we’ve had a big influx of new subscribers (HI!!!!) and this substack is about looking at cool comics, so it seems smart to let them see some. :D
If you’d like to read more, consider becoming a paid subscriber or pick up a copy at your local comic book shop!
