SPECIAL GUEST

Special treat today as part one of a two-part Podcast that I did to kick off Matt Rosenberg’s excellent new IDEAS DON’T BLEED podcast. We talked about BLACK CLOAK and THE CULL — and comics business and worldbuilding and substack and time zones for some reason? It was fun and I think you’ll enjoy it.

Huge thanks to Matt for having me on and also — this was hosted by the delightful Ethan and Griffin who you may know better as the “Supple Boiz” from Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman’s Substack KLC Press. They are a delight. Thanks, guys.

While I have you, I’m sure a bunch of you saw late last week that this cover for CAPTAIN MARVEL #44 dropped — and thus we now know both the team Carol is taking with her on her “horror/space adventure” — and also, who the big bads will be. Below is the cover by Juan Frigeri and the solicit text in case you missed it:

CM #44 main cover by Juan Frigeri

SOLICIT:

"REVENGE OF THE BROOD" PART 2! Carol Danvers returns to space – and to the X-Men?! A mysterious degraded message from Rogue has arrived at the same time that Carol's emergency beacon begins screaming with cries from Binary... and that cannot possibly be a coincidence. Carol assembles a team of allies, including Polaris, Gambit, Wolverine, and Psylocke, bent on rescue, but what they find instead is a dangerous old enemy bent on revenge!!

And this whole team — Captain Marvel, Spider-Woman, Hazmat, Polaris, Wolverine, Gambit, and Psylocke is together for the full arc — CAPTAIN MARVEL #43 - #49. (plus expect some appearances by Binary and Rogue and MAYBE some other guests - wink wink, nudge nudge).

AND there’s a gorgeous Peach Momoko Variant Cover for CM #44 too:

AND. Because I love you an extra lot, here’s a quick sneak peek at Sergio Davila’s incredible take on our gorgeous team:

Polaris, Wolverine, and Gambit - from Captain Marvel #43 (!) - art by Sergio Davila
Spider-Woman, Captain Marvel, Hazmat, and War Machine - from Captain Marvel #43 - art by Sergio Davila

Note: Unfortunately Rhodey is only in issue #43 (and maybe issue #49 - we’ll see)

Psylocke from Captain Marvel #43 - art by Sergio Davila

And Psylocke! This is really my first time getting to write Kwannon and

I. AM. EXCITE.

I hope I don’t fuck it up!

Okay, in closing, here’s some cats. Because, I don’t know, always end with cats?

I love the team u assembled! My only wish is that Gabby was tagging along with Laura. I would love to see you write their banter. I feel like you would nail it.
