So! The real-life BLACK CANARY, aka Jesse Smollett, whom I adore, has asked me to join her and director Cathy Yan, tonight 3/25/20 at 6:00 pm PST on twitter for a live tweet viewing of BIRDS OF PREY!
I can’t wait, I have barely discusses the meat of the film because of spoilers and NDAs, but I can’t wait to hear these two talk about this wonderful film.
Look for the hashtag #QuarantineWatchParty, and @gailsimone, @cathyyan and @Jessesmollett and we will be talking candidly about BOP! Fun!

Okay, many of you may know I did a free seminar of five lessons to writing your first comics story. It turned out to be HUGE, with thousands of entries, a massively busy discord server and community, and even a story in the New York Times.
One of the KEY features was this, a list of INDISPUTABLE TRUTHS for comic book writers. I think these are hugely important things to remember and will help you in your day-to-day work. Two students made this wonderful graphic to keep by your desk, check it out!
All the lessons and assignments are archived on our #ComicsSchool Discord server and you can access them any time! https://discordapp.com/channels/688137505723252985/688137723869265982

This is my favorite single issue of anything I wrote last year. Please give it a look if you get a chance, it punches right in the gut but talks about the very SPIRIT of heroism.

Today is the last day of #COMICSSCHOOL and I cannot BELIEVE how huge this has become. THOUSANDS of springboards, outlines and script pages, news stories everywhere including the NEW YORK TIMES, and a thousand members in the Discord server alone.
If you have any interest in learning some things about writing for comics, take a look. It’s free, it’s a positive, supportive environment, and it’s even damn entertaining to watch people’s enthusiasm.
We had a blast! Check it out under hashtag #Comicsschool DAY ONE on Twitter!

Okay, so, here’s the newest of my videos, just a fun unboxing of a ton of games that were sent to me by various game companies for our train trip. They sent so many, we couldn’t take them all, nor could we show it all in one video!
It’s just us being silly, but if you would, we would love it if you would like and subscribe. A LOT of fun stuff is coming!
We’re just learning, apologies for any mistakes!
THANK YOU!

A Fun Experiment
So, a lot of people are stressed and some are homebound, and I believe art and creativity helps with stress and anxiety.
So I came up with this idea, a five session plan to help new writers write their first comic idea. It’s going to be on Twitter starting at 1:00 pm today, under the hashtag #ComicsSchool.
If you are wanting to ever write a comic script, even just to see if you like it, we are going to have a short session with exercises every day.
I think it’s going to be fun and you could potentially learn something! I don’t think anyone’s done anything like this, certainly not on this scale.
Hope you can participate!
You will need
A small box or basket
A pen or pencil
A notepad or notebook (physical, if you can)
And it would be great if you had a cell phone and an eight sided die, but those last two are NOT mandatory.

Happy to find out that the Gail Simone WONDER WOMAN OMNIBUS has topped the Advance Reorder charts for comic shops, despite a hefty retail price of $75 (a bargain!).
This is some of the work I am MOST proud of in my whole career, and features a BUNCH of the finest artists I have ever worked with, including Terry Dodson, Rachel Dodson, Aaron Lopresti, Nicola Scott, Bernard Chang, Chris Batista and more.
I was never prouder to work on a comic than this one. Wonder Woman is the bomb and I adore her and am very thankful to DC COMICS for trusting us with her!
