You’ll have to try way harder than that to get rid of me, lol. It’ll all be fine, and Year 2 will be epic.

Like Batman’s Year 2. That had that badass Reaper character and McFarlane art. Probably in my top 3 Bats stories.

So by association, Year 2 of BlackCloak-Stack is going to be Fucking killer.

🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Sorry you have to deal with all these technological headaches. If I had to manage a Substack, I'd probably tear my hair out. Thank goodness I don't write so goodly and don't have any hair. WHEW.

(But on a slightly more serious note, good luck with the technological hurdles and I hereby declare I'm sticking with ya. Byyyyeeeeee!)

It's been challenging at times, but it's been an amazing year -- and wouldn't trade it -- or all of you, for anything.

Work in the 21st century can be super-annoying.

I am currently doing something for the fifth time that prior generations would have only done once. (Can't share the details for competitive reasons.)

I must confess I am VERY curious! lol

And I hope you don't have to do it a sixth time! ;D

I am onboard even if you are mailing photocopies in exchange for Venmo payments.

Honestly, Dean? That means more than you know. You've been on this road with me a lonnnng time, it means a lot.

It is way more boring than you might imagine.

Hi Kelly! I read Black Cloak today, and I really liked it! I'm going back to the store later to buy the rest of the covers, haha.

Quick question. I've never subscribed to a substack before, so I'm not exactly sure how it works. I really wanna read the other chapters, but it's telling me I need to sign up for the 7 day free trial eventhough I already did. In your post you said "All content will be available for all until we un-pause", so I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if it's glitch. I'm really impatient and I NEED to know what happens next, haha. I know it's paused right now, but would seriously pay for a subscription if it would let me read it, haha.

Anyways, I love the series! Looking forward to reading the other issues! (Even if I have to wait a month, haha.) I new to comics and I just started getting into them last month and Black Cloak is the first new series to catch my eye.

Aw, thank you so much for the support! And I'm so glad you liked it!

Yeah, thanks for bringing this to my attention! That is what I was told, but you are right that it is totally not working! I've put in a request to Substack to investigate. Hold fast and I'll get back to you asap.

Also, welcome to comics! We are honored and delighted to be one of your early experiences -- it's beautiful in here (comics, I mean). ;D

I will be here for year 2 as well. I was late to the year 1 party, but it brought me so much joy. Looking forward to whatever is next.

Thank you so much, Michael.

Hooray! Finally get to leave a comment and will use this one-time-freebie to just say that I am a huge fan and love going through all of Marvel Unlimited to find all the stuff you‘ve done for them so far. Thanks for all the great books (and the great ones still to come)!

Expand full comment

Haha. Thanks!

Also still hoping that you‘ll get a chance to write more West-Coast-Avengers-stories one day (that was just such an all-out-fun series, how could it ever end so soon before its time?)

I would have loved to write more WCA -- we had LOTS of plans. Alas, it was not to be. :(

Hey Kelly. Sorry to bug you this way but am I a Founder? I signed up for the 100$ a year subscription and believe I won something that was shipping this year but don’t see anything in my email or spam folder.

Hey Kamose - my records show that you are a monthly subscriber. It's possible you were yearly and then switched to monthly later? But no, you are not on the Founders list. Sorry! <3

👍 I’ll “still be here and still be interested for what’s next.” 🙂

That means a lot.

Kelly - thanks! Still here for the ride :). (Ps related to last post - I think(?) - picked up issue 1 today and it’s gorgeous. I tip my hat to you for enduring all the the blood, sweat, tears, and everything in between in making this happen.)

Hey Jack -- you're listed at a monthly subscriber, not a founder (Founders paid $200 and got all the benefits of yearly backers plus some physical rewards). Sorry!
