I literally gasped and bought one of those Jeff pins off ebay so damned fast... he will immediately adorn my metalhead vest in a place of mighty prominence. This was probably my most "HELL YEAH" reaction to any Eisner win I can remember; which seems goofy on the face of it but really isn't, for the reasons you brought up. As for the rest of the newsletter, I can't even decide on something to highlight because it's all SO good.

A fan got me one of those (and a Jeff lanyard) previously, so I was lucky, but they're so fun. I have so many cool pins -- and no good jackets for them. :(

And thanks for rooting for us. <3

The 2020’s will forever be known as the DECADE of Jeff! Huge congrats Kelly to you and Gurihiru! Absolutely deserved.

Omg! Amazing. I’m not going to lie though… I was *really* hoping for a Jeff cameo in Deadpool. …But yeah, guess that Eisner recognizing you and Gurihiru will suffice. :)

Yeah, me too.

But with his traction he'll get there someday.

What I'd REALLY love to see first are a series of animated shorts -- like the Groot shorts. But a movie cameo would not be bad at all! <3

Amazing, congratulations! Disney Plus will probably approach you about a Jeff–series any moment now, don’t settle for anything less than RDJ‘s deal to play Dr. Doom.

Congratulations Kelly! 🙌🦈 So excited for you!

Man, grabbing my pull list tomorrow is going to be amazing with BoP, Scarlett AND Uncanny!

BTW Did you ever get to see X-Men'97? I gotta know how you felt about a certain episode ... if you saw it then you KNOW the one I mean.

Thanks so much, Jacki!

I DID start X-Men 97 -- I watched the first two episodes and the action was amazing...but the soap opera is maybe gonna be tough for me -- but I think I'll keep trying -- some of it TRULY delighted me. Knowing Rogue/Magneto is going to happen has me... anxious.

OMG ... so much that is SO good. Butttt also maybe have an emotional support animal/person/stuffie handy. And don't miss the post credit scene after the last episode. I'll say no more!

Jeff deserves every bit of this fame and fortune! And an AWARD! Wonderful. I can’t believe that you’re making the artist change thing work perfectly and it’s a ton of fun.

Thank you so much! It has been a real challenge but we have been so lucky to have some amazing artists willing to take on the challenge. This is my favorite issue in that respect. <3
