In an effort to keep some small bits of positive news flowing (and to get to contribute for the second time ever to #MerMay! YES!) I want to give you all an exclusive look at the final cover to BLACK CLOAK #3.
This illustration is by our brilliant Meredith McClaren (and congrats to her on THIS awesome announcement!), and the cover design is by the always excellent Rian Hughes. This will be the main cover for issue #3 when we go to print. And I hope to have some news about how that print timeline is coming soon!
FCBD on Substack this past week brought in a lot of new readers/subscribers — Hi! New Readers! — and so I’m going to drop a few links and bits of information in here for them if you’ll bear with me!
If any of you are looking for BLACK CLOAK chapters you can find them here: Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, and Chapter 4. Chapters 1 and 2 are free to read (and have free to download DRM-Free CBZ or PDF files). Chapters 3 and 4 are behind a paywall.
THE CULL is our second announced book — with artist/co-creator Mattia De Iulis — and we’ve done some fun process teasers of those and we also released a promo page when we announced the book in our first post, but chapters of THE CULL have not yet started releasing. We WILL be starting some teasers up soon though! And Mattia’s art is gonna blow your minds, guys, truly.
We’ll be announcing a third book as well soon (it will ALSO release this year) — I hoped it might be this month we could do the announcement, but we’re running a bit behind so it might end up being June that we announce. I’m pretty excited though — and I think you guys will be too.
If you are curious about going paid here’s a quick and dirty run down of what it can get you. And here’s a link to the About/FAQ which has more information.
Basically the awesome people here that are subscribing to a paid tier are literally making these comics possible. And it means the world to me and my teams to be given that chance. We’re gonna make all of you proud with these books. <3
Usually the comments section is for paid subscribers only, but I’m going to open it up to anyone on this post, in case anyone has any questions.
Have a good weekend, my lambs. Please take care of yourselves and each other. Also, maybe eat a cookie. You deserve at least a cookie. MINIMUM. <3

I'm going for buffalo cauliflower pizza and jackfruit nachos instead, but celebrating nonetheless 🥳
I cannot wait to get my grubby hands on your printed books! The excitement is ridiculous! They're going to be so beautiful - I think I will go eat a cookie and maybe a hot chocolate, this will hopefully calm me down a little! 😂
