A MASTERCLASS ANNOUNCEMENT!

Hello friends!

We are very excited to provide you with this important update regarding our upcoming virtual MASTERCLASS!

CLASS IS IN SESSION… NOVEMBER 22nd!

Hey everybody, it's a JINXWORLD ON SUBSTACK update. We've launched, we're live! You subscribed! Thank you, that was really cool. I really, really appreciate it. As advertised, the first chapter of Creation., our new book about creating things, is live. It's three parts that, in total, make up the story of Jessica Jones, according to me. Thank you for all the feedback so far, that was also very cool. If you haven't tried it out yet— do so! You can watch it, you can read it, or you can listen to it. Thanks to Griffin and Ethan, our Substack coordinators for making sure it all looks awesome.

But the real update is that the next part of our Substack, we have many projects coming out of the Substack, and the next one is, as advertised, the Masterclass. The Masterclass is a bi-monthly class taught by myself and my dear friend and colleague, Taki Soma. We will be teaching it live. And we have settled on a time. It will be starting on November 22. Tuesday at 6pm, West Coast, America, Portland time. It's hard to pick a time for a live class, especially when we have subscribers from all over the place. But we went to the Discord and we asked you what would work and it did seem that this timeframe was the most popular. So for those of you who can join us live, we're very excited to share this time with you. If not, don't worry about it, you will still have full access to the class via the archive. So the class will immediately be put up on the archive for you to enjoy as much as you want. The class will range in a whole bunch of different subjects [that] Taki and I have been working on behind-the-scenes to really use the space as best we can. So again, if you can join us live, great. If not, don't worry about it. And there will be other chances down the line as we do more classes. And again, Fortune and Glory is coming soon. That'll be a couple of weeks from now, that's ready to go as well. Just wanted to kind of roll them out one at a time. There's a lot going on in our world. So we didn't want to overwhelm you. But yes, so the class is next. Also, Creation, chapter two: Ironheart will be coming to you in your Substack shortly. If you haven't subscribed yet, please do! We are really enjoying the space and if you have subscribed, you know that you have full access to our Discord, which is really great. It's kind of like the return of our old message board. So, I'll see you online. See you in class. Have a great weekend.

That’s right, folks! Brian and Taki are getting everything ready for you all as we speak and our first class session will be held via Zoom exactly ONE WEEK FROM TODAY on Tuesday, 11/22, at 6:00pm PST!

Keep your eyes peeled, as we will be providing more updates as the week goes on and you can expect your class invite link next Monday.

The class is exclusive to POWERS and PHENOMENA levels subs, but it isn’t too late to get in on this opportunity. Just hit the button below and pick the tier that is right for you!

Subscribe now

Classes should be expected to take place every other Tuesday at 6:00pm PST moving forward. If a class needs to be rescheduled, we will be sure to give you all plenty of advance notice.

Likewise, CREATION. will be moving from its typical Tuesday release day to THURSDAYS. You can expect CREATION, Chapter 2: IRONHEART in your inbox in just a couple days! We’re so excited to share this one with you following the release and subsequent record-smashing success of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

Is that everything? Oh! No, we also wanted to share this with you while you’re here…

Brian was just featured on MARK MILLAR’S new interview series, Millar Time, joining the likes of Gerry Conway and Rob Liefeld! You can check it out below and be sure to drop Mark a subscribe for more creator interviews to come.

As always…

So, so, SO many thanks!

JOIN JINXWORLD ON DISCORD!

Hello, friends!

We truly hope you have been enjoying JINXWORLD ON SUBSTACK. It has been a joy creating everything for you guys and we can’t wait to share more.

And we want to be able to chat about it all with you, beyond just the comments section here on Substack!

Some of you may already be aware of this from some of our previous newsletters, but we figured we would do a formal post to announce…

WE HAVE A DISCORD!

YES! We’ve created a JINXWORLD DISCORD SERVER, exclusively for POWERS and PHENOMENA level subscribers!

In these first couple weeks, the server has been the perfect spot to meet the other folks in the Jinxworld community and chat about everything that has been and will be coming out this year here on Substack.

In the server, you are able to ask questions for future installments of CREATION, get a heads up on MASTERCLASS content or guest lectures, find updates on all of Brian’s Dark Horse work, and more!

[Plus, for our PHENOMENA level subs, there’s an even more exclusive set of channels just for you guys.]

If you’re a paid sub and aren’t on Discord, we highly encourage you to consider creating an account and joining us! It’s going to be a real fun space for us all to hang out between posts moving forward.

And if you’re a free sub, well you can just add this to the long list of goodies you could be getting for as little as $5 per month. What are you waiting for??? Join us!

Meanwhile, POWERS and PHENOMENA level subs can find the link to the server below!
