The Cull - Five Page Preview!

It’s finally here!

For those of you picking up a print (or digital!) copy of BLACK CLOAK #5 tomorrow, you’re going to find five gorgeous lettered pages from THE CULL #1.

And because I love you all the most, I’m putting them up here right now. Here are the covers for BLACK CLOAK #5 to look for tomorrow:

I will also be loading BLACK CLOAK #5 in its entirety tomorrow as well. I’m sorry for the delay on that, but because we’ve paused the paid subscriptions, it means nothing has a paywall, and I DO have to protect BLACK CLOAK’S sales at least a bit, so I’ve been waiting until the issues release to put them up here for you guys, which is hardly ideal, but it’s the best solution I’ve come up with so far.

THE CULL #1 will release from Image Comics (and also here on the Substack) - August 16th 2023. Story/Words by me. Art/Colors by Mattia De Iulis. Lettering by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou. Edits by Charles Beacham. Book Design by Rian Hughes.

Hahaha. What?! Mattia is TOO GOOD! I can’t wait for you guys to get your eyeballs on this goddamn gorgeous ass book.

More tomorrow — because not only will you be getting BLACK CLOAK #5 on here, but I want to talk a bit about tomorrow’s CAPTAIN MARVEL #49 — penultimate issue from my epic (yeah, I said it) run. Our main cover for that issue is awesome (a nod to a great classic X-Men comic) by Juan Frigeri:

But I want to alert you guys also to this awesome Leo Romero variant - it’s also a nod to a Classic X-Men cover (by Mignola) and it’s just gorgeous and terrifying:

OH! And last thing — I’m doing an AMA for League Of Comic Geeks and you can submit questions HERE I believe. It’s tomorrow — Wednesday 5/10/23 — and I’ll be logging in throughout the day to answer questions — so get ‘em submitted!

Okay, back to the writing mines for me as I’m very behind after a couple of lovely days off with my family. Wouldn’t trade them for anything… but also… help? lol

Hug someone that needs it. <3
