None of this is done or over.

I could not agree more! The amount of time, care, love and planning we poured into Enormous was staggering. Wish readers would try and take the occasional risk but mainly people want more of what they already have. None of this is done or over however.

I am sorry J-GUNZ.

Authority! I miss this as much as you do, promise. Mehdi is currently working on several different freelance projects in several different mediums actually.

I understand your disappointment, Taz. I do and I'm sorry. But I'll do all that I can to finish this story.

Alright! Stuff has been-- busy. Want the full scoop? Here goes... Mehdi and I worked on Enormous for 6+ years. We both needed a break. Mehdi especially, to focus on anything but Enormous for a while and me to write some new books and also help Vault Comics launch through doing all of their design and some production work. In the meantime, Enormous was pitched overseas to various Chinese studios. We got close, at least a couple of different times, with good talent attached too, but things have since cooled for different reasons out of my control. Enormous has been given a rest as both Adrian Askarieh and I work on several other projects-- some my own, others for different creators. Right now, I'm focused on my mew titles; Atoll, Fissure, Spiritus & Morning Star while chipping away at the scripts for the entire 3rd Arc of Enormous. We'll return. At some point. And we might return as we did previously w/ Mehdi on art or we might return with a new artist (and Mehdi too) or we might even return with a different title within the Enormous world. I've got several strategies in mind, because ultimately I can't justifiably ask Mehdi to illustrate a book that consumes so much of his time for so little in return. I also can't expect readers to wait around forever or even care. But, I've got a story to tell and that's my only objective. For those of you at SDCC this year, I strongly encourage you to come by the Vault Booth - 1530. We've got so many cool exclusives, many super limited and several great creators appearing for signings. And I'll be bringing the following, so I hope to see you all there! If you have any more questions about Enormous or any of my books - fire away!

Missed you all! I'll be back a bit later with some updates on Enormous.

I sure hope you've got a Blindbox subscription or are ready to grab one of these from ebay/BB site. Super spoilery (warning), super awesome Ricardo Drumond (Atoll) and Joana Lafuente variant Movie Poster Cover for Fissure.

It is personal. Telling me I'm FOS? Yep. Personal. Now, critiquing my books, my work, the art? I don't take that personally. I learned the first time a book I worked months on got crushed in a review. It stung my ego. Sure. But - attack me as a person, especially with ZERO knowledge of what you're accusing me of or the circumstance and stakes involved? Personal. And I don't go for the "it's just the internet". That excuses their behavior. I do go in for human decency, decorum, debate and discussion.

Of course the Raffle happened! A long time ago. We raised $700+ for Autism. We've since raised several hundred more for Cancer Research. Not a DIME went in my pocket and I funded the entire thing (prints, shipping, my own comp books) myself.

Another preview of Fissure #1 - this time with the final art and a revealing look at exactly what's happening: http://bit.ly/2jac3wW Pre-Orders Close this Friday! CODE: DEC161518.

Well this has turned out to be an entertaining visit. The CBSI forum even more so. That was fun! Everyone is obviously within their right to question what's going on-- the when, the how. the who - etc. But to Linguini and Trey, I am not FOS. Unless you are me or Adrian or anyone else that has worked very hard these last several months, you could not possibly know anything of any material value. Right? So why waste the time! Read a comic. I have one or 5 to recommend.

Hey y'all! Want to take a look at my new book? Want to pre-order? So proud of this book and the amazing work artist Patricio Delpeche has done. Going to show it off a bit here in hopes that those amongst you on the fence, might well pre-order it. FISSURE #1 can be ordered w/ CODE: DEC161518. But, don't take my word for it - find out for yourself. FREE Preview: http://bit.ly/2hMdmyw
