THAT'S UNCANNY

1979semifinalist.substack.com

Sorry I’ve been a bit MIA. I needed a break after we made it to 100 posts to be honest, also I’ve been dealing with some annoying health stuff, nothing too serious, but just… not great, you know how it goes! So I apologize for being away but I come bearing more Guest Appearances on Podcasts! Yay!

I was certain I posted about Part 1 of this Podcast here a couple weeks ago, but browsing through my posts I can’t seem to find it — so I’m posting links to both Part 1 and Part 2 of Matthew Rosenberg’s IDEAS DON’T BLEED Podcast — featuring me and Ed Brisson (and Matt of course) as we do a post-mortem of sorts on our UNCANNY X-MEN DISASSEMBLED run (this run was published weekly in 2018 and 2019 — 10 issues total).

As always, special thanks to the Supple Boiz Griffin and Ethan for putting up with our nonsense.

Matt is also doing a super fun new “micro podcast” thing called QUICK QUESTIONS on IDEAS DON’T BLEED that is just bringing creators on and asking them a super quick (and interesting) 24 questions. I love it. I hope I am asked on for a future episode… but since I’ve been on like 4 episodes so far, it will probably be a while:

Quick Quiz #1: Matthew Rosenberg
Listen now (17 min) | Hello everyone, this is just going out to those of you who were kind enough to pay for this here project. As I’ve said from go, we’re going to be looking for ways to give our paying subscribers even more stuff than we promised as our way of saying ‘thanks.’ Will this “even more stuff” be stuff you actually want? Well, we’re about to find out…

In other news.

Some of you may have seen this gorgeous Stephen Sergovia variant cover for CAPTAIN MARVEL #44:

And YES. These looks DO appear in the book — and were designed by Stephen! And if some swanky gala looks were not what you were expecting in a horrific Brood story arc, then GOOD! We like to have SOME surprises. ;D

In very related news — our first issue for the REVENGE OF THE BROOD arc kicks off NEXT WEEK! I’ll post some more about it next week before it releases, but this arc has been a very long time in coming and I’m so glad we made it!

Captain Marvel #43 Cover by Juan Frigeri

In slightly less related news, there was a new IT’S JEFF last week — and it was HALLOWEEN THEMED AND HIGHLY ADORABLE, OF COURSE. So you’re probably going to want to head on over to Marvel Unlimited in case you missed it!

I’m not saying it definitely involves Jeff trying (and failing) with a bunch of Halloween costumes until he finds one that fits “just right”… but yeah, that happens. And even though a big-eared green guy does make a charming cameo, my favorite costume is this one, inspired by a friend’s adorable old photo that cracked me up for about half an hour:

Okay, I’m going to wrap this one up for now. But lots more coming — including Mattia doing the most gorgeous variant cover ever for BLACK CLOAK #3! I can’t wait to show you guys!


More soon! And everyone out there… hang in there. I don’t know where y’all are, but in Oregon we vote by mail… and it has already begun. So yeah, everyone hang onto your butts.

I squealed when I saw that gala cover, KT. I'm so happy you're bringing Carol and the X-men back together. Someone had to do it, glad it was you.

Also - SWATCOW FUNDED! ^_^

My kid's favourite was also the chick suit, but mine was definitely the suit with big green ears :D
