Excalibur was such a blast back in the day! Peak off the wall writing with the perfect amount of fun and adventure!

I rolled my ankle sprinting to the store to grab a HC copy of the most sublime introduction to a legendary character I’ve ever read.

Have the best Holiday Season yet!

Now Alan Davis writing and drawing Excalibur brings back memories. He was o good on Excalibur and so meh on X-Men. I have a Kitty Pryde drawing by him and he just shined.

Excalibur definitely felt like the stars aligning for Davis. It's definitely my favorite of all his work (especially when he was writing for himself too).

Your shop is cool! I just ordered Scarlett Vol 1! :)

OMG I can't wait for Jeff Meets Daredevil!! Daredevil's one of my top 3 favorite superheroes, and I love Jeff!! I'm stoked!

I'm also excited to see Absolute Batman meeting Absolute Wonder Woman!! :D

Awww... I recently read Birds of Prey Vol. 3 from my local library. I LOVE your Birds of Prey series! I'm sad to hear that this week was the last issue of your run. I really hope you'll get to write Birds of Prey again!

Sending you my support. Happy Holidays, Kelly! I hope you have a great holiday season!

Wow that Zatanna cosplay is insane! They did such a great job, thanks for sharing!

Looking forward to the Jeff one-shot and the Absolute crossover later this month. I'm also glad the CGC signing was pushed back because I still need to send some books in 😬...

Have a great holiday season and hope you can get some deserved R&R after such a spectacular year!

It's INCREDIBLE, right? I mean, wow.

To be clear the Jeff story is a new short that will go in the collection (collecting the more recent web stuff). Don't miss that end of December deadline!

Happy holidays to you.

I've been invited onto a podcast where I have to pick what I consider the best comic issue ever and it absolutely will be one from that Excalibur run...maybe the one where they go to the dinosaur dimension and the reveal is that the dinosaurs are all living in complete harmony with their environment and so if anything ever happens to their very advanced civilization all anyone will end up finding will be bones?

Oh my gosh I can’t wait to put my hands on the Absolute! It looks absolutely amazing! And I’m looking forward to showing that Jeff to my youngest kids. I’m sure they love it! My oldest will just have to wait until I read the Absolute (that will be like a couple of hours…)!
