WELCOME TO JINXWORLD ON SUBSTACK!

INTRODUCTIONS

Hi there, and welcome!

We’re very excited to introduce you to a totally revamped, reengineered, rebooted JINXWORLD ON SUBSTACK experience! For the past year, BRIAN and THE JINXWORLD TEAM have been hard at work preparing some ammmmmazing content- both fictional and educational- for all of you.

And we are FINALLY ready to start sharing it with you!

But don’t take it from us, let the man himself tell you what it’s all about:

ABOUT THE NEW JINXWORLD

JINXWORLD ON SUBSTACK! Over the next year, we plan on bringing you a TON of exciting ALL-NEW stuff! Like what? How about… A BRAND-NEW FORTUNE AND GLORY COMIC BOOK/graphic novel by Bendis and Co.!! An ALL-NEW text book/video SERIES entitled CREATION! A LIVE and archived VIRTUAL CLASS from Bendis and Taki Soma, and so much more!

The JINXWORLD Team, headed by our very own Brian Michael Bendis, of course, also includes Ethan S. Parker and Griffin Sheridan, who Substack subscribers may know from their work on some of our friends’ newsletters, including Ryan Stegman and Donny Cates’ KLC PRESS and Matthew Rosenberg’s ASHCAN PRESS.

[Hi, that’s us. We’re very excited and beyond honored to be working with Brian and Jinxworld. We’ll be much more quiet over here, we promise. -Ethan and Grif]

We are so happy to finally be able to share what we have been putting together for you. You can learn all about everything we’ll have to offer in this space, plus hear about it all from Brian, below.

CREATION: THE SERIES

CREATION: THE SERIES is the new MULTI-MEDIA EDU-SERIES from Brian Michael Bendis! Creation is one of the hardest subjects to talk about because it’s so messy. Brian has taken all the best lessons from his over thirty years as a creative professional and distilled them into fun and livable lessons for YOU!

These lessons are the core of CREATION! This is the defacto sequel to his first best selling textbook, Words for Pictures, and covers the broad subject of its very title: Creation. Aspiring creators— whether that means writing, drawing, editing, whatever it may be— will NOT want to skip this one.

Lessons will be available in a variety of formats including audio, video, and text! We accommodate all learning styles!


“This is an in-depth look at the mysterious art of creation through exclusive behind-the-scenes looks into how many of your favorite characters and storylines from Marvel, DC, and our creator-owned JINXWORLD endeavors came to be.


If you are on your own creative journey and, like me, need the inspiration of others’ trials, tribulations and anecdotes for inspiration... or you’re just someone who loves colorful looks behind the scenes, this new experience, created specifically for Substack, is for you.” -BMB


The series begins this upcoming TUESDAY,OCTOBER 18th, so be sure to subscribe by then!

FORTUNE AND GLORY: THE MUSICAL

But, what kind of JINXWORLD experience would it be without some COMICS! We’re so excited to announce a BRAND-NEW series from Brian and artist BILL WALKO (Archie Comics) coming EXCLUSIVELY to Substack:

FORTUNE AND GLORY: THE MUSICAL!

That’s right! Brian, Bill, and Co. have been hard at work on a sort of sequel to his 2000 Eisner-nominated auto-biographical series, Fortune and Glory. Where the original series chronicles Brian’s time breaking into Hollywood, FORTUNE AND GLORY: THE MUSICAL finds him as an established creator when he’s offered the gig of a lifetime(?):

WRITING THE SPIDER-MAN MUSICAL!!

Yes, that Spider-Man musical! The infamous Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. This is a true story! While Bendis’ time with the production was short, it was pretty damn interesting!

This is a brand-new, fully-illustrated, full-length tale with pencils by Walko, colors by WES DZIOBA, and lettering by JINXWORLD’S own JOSH REED!

We will be previewing FORTUNE AND GLORY: THE MUSICAL next week before it begins releasing in chapters on this very Substack next month, EXCLUSIVELY for paid subscribers.

RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARCHIVE

I’m not sure if you’re aware, but Brian has been in the business for a little while now and he’s worked on some pretty significant projects. Many have made it out into the world, of course, but some have been lost to… THE JINXWORLD ARCHIVES!

Brian has dug through every folder, every hard drive he could find and curated a selection of documents that he feels would be the most interesting to fans and up-and-coming creators alike.

Perhaps it will be a detailed look at the script for ULTIMATE FALLOUT #4. Or, hey, didn’t Brian write a script for a Kitty Pryde film at one point? Whatever happened with that?

THE MASTERCLASS

We’ve saved the best for last! Speaking of things Brian has accumulated during his time in the industry, perhaps the most crucial thing he has gained is experience. Experience that Brian hopes to pass on to the next generation of creators!

Along with creating, teaching is a true passion of Bendis’. He has been teaching at Portland State University for more than thirteen years and now he’s bringing some of those lessons and more to a digital classroom, hosted here on Substack: THE MASTERCLASS. In the class, Brian teams up with graphic novelist and fellow educator Taki Soma to pass on some of the very best and hardest lessons learned! Plus, viewers/students should look for special appearances from fellow creators throughout the year. You never know who will stop by for a guest lecture here at JINXWORLD.

Twice a month for the next year, class with be hosted LIVE via Zoom. Paid subscribers can sit in or enjoy the archive. Classes and the CREATION SERIES will build a full-bodied learning experience for all of you.

(Lectures will also be made available in video and audio form the following day for those who cannot attend the livestream.)

Our first class will take place the week of FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11th, so mark your calendars, clear your schedules, and subscribe NOW to secure your spot!

THE ONES PREVIEW! BASEBALLS! SUMMER GONE! JOY!

Well, hey!

First off, we got a biiiiig preview for you. Here’s an actual sneak peak at are all new, already well reviewed (whew), new super group…. THE ONES!!

Coming soon! 11/2 from our partners at the amazing Dark Horse comics. co created by the amazing Jason Edgar.

The official words: Brian Michael Bendis will soon return to the world of superheroes with his next offering from Dark Horse Comics: The Ones, a comedic take on the fabled "one savior" from each mythology. Bendis is joined by rising star Jacob Edgar and ComicBook.com has an exclusive sneak peek at the title's first issue.

"Jacob is an amazing artist and creating this brand-new, fun-as-hell world with him has been one of the greatest delights," Bendis said in a press release first announcing the title. "Wilson and the rest of The Ones are among my absolute favorite creations I've ever been a part of and I can't wait to introduce you to all of them."

"I'm beyond thrilled and still geeking out to be teaming with Brian on this project and bringing all these amazing, crazy characters to life," Edgar added. "I've always felt like comedy in comics is tough to do, but I genuinely laugh out loud reading these scripts as they come in. So, I'm excited for the comics world to get to experience what I've been enjoying. Beyond the comedy, we've got plenty of action coming your way as well, this book is a blast to work on."

Click on any cover for links to preorder from some awesome places…

With that, here’s the big first look!

Call your awesome local comic shop and pre-order any of the fantastic covers.

BASEBALL!??

So, with summer gone, I have to recap the dumbest fun thing I did.

A few weeks ago I agreed to throw out the first pitch at a baseball game even though I HAVEN'T THROWN A BALL SINCE 1981.

My entire baseball experience is Yeeeeears ago, true baseball fans Joe Quesada and Matt Fraction took me to a Phillies game and- and I treated it like a Food Channel show. ‘Oh, the hot dogs!’ They were so annoyed.

So I’m not known for my baseball anything.

Mostly to delight Matt and Joe, my wife, kids, and literally ANYone else who ever met me, I said yes to throwing out the pitch at the Hillsboro hops Marvel themed evening. In front of people. A lot of people.

Why did they ask me? Honestly, I think my name comes up alphabetically if you google ‘Portland Marvel writer.’ If Jason Aaron lived in town, I’m shit out of luck. But they did call and I said yes… for all the wrong reasons.

Also, I’M A FIFTY FIVE YEAR OLD JEW WHO HASN'T THROWN A BASEBALL FOR ANY REASON WHAT SO EVER SINCE 1981! Also, anyone who grew up with the infamous Howard Stern bababooey pitch saga knows how bad these things can go.

But life is about experience and I clearly wanted this one.

My friends started sending me ‘how to pitch’ youtube videos. A neighbor came over to help me.

I even found a marvel baseball jersey gifted to me by joe and Nancy quesada well over 20 FUCKING YEARS AGO. I never had it on my body till this day. Fit great!

My 9 year old son never stopped chuckling at the sight of me in this and I realized, to him, it was like I was walking around in an astronaut’s space suit.

(I literally got like ten offers to buy this jersey right off of me right there.)

In front of my wife and children, I took to the field.

I could barely see in the sun.

I got it over the plate. No one got hurt. I didn’t accidentally bean the guy dressed as Thor.

And I finally got the words I have waited decade for :)

Twitter avatar for @JoeQuesadaJoe Quesada @JoeQuesadaOut of all our years of friendship, out of all the hundreds of brilliant stories, I have never been prouder of my buddy! Twitter avatar for @BRIANMBENDISBRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS @BRIANMBENDIS@JoeQuesada I did it! https://t.co/93psi4jslf3:57 PM ∙ Jul 25, 202244Likes4Retweets

All this AND I get to write comic books all day.

So when I say, I am FILLED with gratitude to you, I hope this proves it.

NEXT?

HEY! we’re just ONE WEEK away from the new jinxworld on substsack so if you haven’t subscribed yet…

Here’s a tease of a tease…

THE ONES! THE HARD SELL! JOY!

Hey hey!

So, THE ONES is coming from Jinxworld’s home at Dark Horse comics. Its a new comic full of brand new characters and ideas we’re really excited about.

THE ONES!

IGN said: Having tackled many of the biggest franchises at Marvel and DC over the past several decades, writer Brian Michael Bendis is now focusing on creator-owned projects at Dark Horse. His latest new series, The Ones, is a superhero comedy with a truly killer concept.

Co-created with artist Jacob Edgar (Death to the Army of Darkness), The Ones is a story about every hero who was ever told they were "the one" of their particular story - a singular warrior destined to save everything from destruction. It turns out the multiverse only has one, true version of The One, and these various would-be saviors are forced to band together to stop them. In other words, it's the perfect comic for the era of the multiverse in pop culture.

The creative team on The Ones also includes colorist J.K. Diaz and letterer Joshua Reed. The first issue features variant covers from Yanick Paquette…

And Dan Hipp.

“Jacob is an amazing artist and creating this brand-new, fun-as-hell world with him has been one of the greatest delights,” Bendis said in a press release. “Wilson and the rest of The Ones are among my absolute favorite creations I’ve ever been a part of and I can’t wait to introduce you to all of them.”

“I'm beyond thrilled and still geeking out to be teaming with Brian on this project and bringing all these amazing, crazy characters to life,” Edgar said. “I've always felt like comedy in comics is tough to do, but I genuinely laugh out loud reading these scripts as they come in. So, I'm excited for the comics world to get to experience what I've been enjoying. Beyond the comedy, we've got plenty of action coming your way as well, this book is a blast to work on.”

The Ones #1 is slated to hit comic shops and digital storefronts on November 2, 2022.

You can order this comic in any form, in any way you want, but today IS when the comic stores around the country have to place their orders. So today, if you don’t mind, call your store and tell them you want THE ONES!

We even have this awesome surprise LIAM SHARPE variant!

Listen, if you need more, we got our first rave review which, of course, was a huge relief…

https://www.cbr.com/dark-horse-comics-the-ones-1-review/

We’ll be taking you behind the scenes in upcoming newsletters…

Hey, look at this Tyler Boss cover for issue 2!

Ok, Hard Sell over! Thanks for all that you do. We’re going to have fun with this.

Yes, the next phase of Jinxworld on Substack is still coming October 14th.

Oh, and here’s your moment of joy… sometimes the algorithm gods really deliver…

Thank you!

Bendis!

PHENOMENA IS REAL! THE ONES FIRST REVIEW! HOME! JOY! NEXT LEVEL!

Hello everybody!

With our new original graphic novel PHENOMENA officially out in the world Andre and I wanted to deeply thank everyone for their support.

Thank you for pre-ordering. Thank you for buying it.

Thank you for the cool reviews.

Thank you for stopping by social media to tell us about it.

Thank you to everyone who showed up at my appearances at Dragoncon which I covered last newsletter!

Thank you to everyone who showed up to Rose city comicon…

Powells Phenomena book launch…

and OMSI.

After not leaving the house for a few years having all of those appearances in short amount of time seemed veeeery daunting but you all made it so warm and friendly. also, be friends with David Walker. It makes life so much better.

But after all that running around, and with school starting, plus a couple of other announcements we have up our Jinxworld sleeves, I’m not going to make it to New York comicon. I just couldn’t make it work with everything we have planned. Some other time NYCC.

THE ONES FIRST REVIEW

I woke up the other day for the first review of our very new Dark horse comedy THE ONES. What a AWESOME reception to something we’ve been working on all year.

My new partner Jacob Edgar is creating something so special with every panel! If this review in any way shape or form fills you with a desire to pre-order, one or hundreds of copies of, the first issue, I would go with that instinct. That’s a good instinct.

You know how the first appearance of Miles Morales is now going for some crazy $30,000. Instead, just take that $30,000 and invest in LOTS of copies of brand new first appearances of THE ONES.

Sit back for, like, I don’t know, 12 years and just watch your money grow. This makes perfect financial sense to me!!!! :)

What I’m trying to say is…

THE ONES FROM DARK HORSE COMICS, CO CREATED BY JACOB EDGAR, IS AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER RIGHT NOW.

Ask your favorite local comic book shop or visit DARKHORSE.COM

JOY BOOK LAUNCH DAY!

Our big sci fi extravaganza JOY OPERATIONS is now in trade paperback from Dark horse comics. This was our first brand new Jinxworld book at Darkhorse. I am so happy to have it collected.

CO- creator Stephen Byrne did some amazing things here.

I am already writing volume two so please enjoy the very unique adventures of Joy and Hampton.... Because there are more to come.

SUBSTACK

The next phase of our substack situation will be revealed on October 14!!

So mark your calendar, or don't, I’ll email you :)

If you haven’t subscribed to this newsletter yet please accept my personal invitation to do so right now.

Subscribe now

We have some very exciting things to unveil to you and it will be right here in this newsletter in just a couple of weeks. Finally!

Again, thank you everyone for a whirlwind month that I’ll never forget. It is an honor to write stories for you.

Here’s a pretty great MOMENT OF JOY...

Conan was talking about this classic sketch on his podcast and I realized had never seen it.

With gratitude and then some,

BENDIS!
