Year two is bringing some changes, but plenty more is in store
Year two is bringing some changes.
YEAR TWO IS HERE!
Being in our second year, I have decided that I will no longer be offering THE FOUNDERS TIER subscription option. For those of you subscribed on the Founders level we will finish out this year before giving you the option to switch to the $7 monthly subscription or the $75 yearly subscription.
The new tiers will be as such:
MONTHLY— $7 a month will get you the two Killadelphia short stories.
ANNUAL— $75 a year will get you the two Killadelphia stories, plus the monthly series.
I will be in touch with the Founding tier subscribers sometime in the near future to make sure you all receive the physical rewards you were offered!
My Journey and what you can look forward to!
The last five years have gone by in the blink of an eye.
My comics career began in 2017 with my 8-issue run on Marvel’s Falcon. It was a complete learning experience for me that challenged what I thought I knew about comics and reinforced what I needed to learn. Lando: Double or Nothing and Lion Forge/Oni Press’s Quincredible came next and I began to settle in as to what I believed my voice in comics would be. I was comfortable (relatively speaking) in the realm of television and film, as I’d been writing professionally for twenty years, but comics were a whole other beast... but a beast I’ve come to love passionately.
Next came Killadelphia. The vampire/political/family drama/etc. horror fest from myself and the great Jason Shawn Alexander and our entire team. It’s the first book I felt best exemplified who I am as a comics writer. But it wasn’t the last!
That’s what brought me here, into the Substack ring.
I’ve always loved stories that broke the boundaries of conventional storytelling. Over the past five years, my eye and mind have connected more and more to independent comics and the creators that make them. I love the big two, and for more years than I could remember, they made up the bulk of what I purchased and consumed. They still make up a large part of the stories I consume. This isn’t about them, but rather about me. And quite simply, I have stories to tell! I want to control the way they’re told and own the rights to said stories along with my co-creators.
I am honored to have the ability to work with bigger companies like Marvel and Star Wars to create lovable characters and stories, but I will always continue to develop and create my own worlds that many of you have come to love.
Here’s to another great year and building this community even further. I have a lot of fun projects in store for you all.

Coming Soon:
Zombie Love Studios
Zombie Love Studios will launch in January 2023 with Blacula.
The cult classic horror character is returning in a new graphic novel from artist Jason Shawn Alexander and myself. The Blacula graphic novel has long been a passion project for me.
The Butcher of Black Bottom:
The Butcher of Black Bottom is a slasher horror set in 1920’s Detroit, a time when the city is seeing a large influx of African American migrants from the South and racial tensions are reaching a boiling point. To make things worse, a titular serial killer is on the loose and bringing that boil to raging fire.
Tales From the Crip
We have kept Tales From the Crip pretty under wraps, but now we would like to share that this graphic novel is a horror anthology in the tradition of classic EC Comics that feature urban themed horror stories. I’m an honored to have worked on this project with my long-term friend Snoop Dogg.
Alice Cooper vs. the Prince of Darkness
I am beyond excited to see how fans react to Alice facing his most powerful opponent to date!
