MIAMI! MASTERPIECE! PORTLAND STATE! AND BEYOND…
HEY EVERYBODY,
When last we newslettered, I was very excited to see all of you at the big, giant, Patton Oswald/Jordan Blum “Comic Creators Block Party” event.
What a time! It was great to see all of you. It was such an amazing experience. We ended up signing for almost three hours. Thank you so much for coming by. It was incredible.
MIAMI!!
My next appearance is coming up on November 23rd. I will be a guest at the Miami Book Fair... In Miami.
I will be appearing as a guest of Abram’s Books, the American publisher of the gorgeous Phenomena graphic novel series that I cannot stop talking about, because it is absolutely so beautiful.
I’m part of this cool-sounding panel:
After the panel, we ARE doing a signing.
I have not been to Florida for a signing or event in almost twenty years. If you’re in the Miami area and want to get your book nerd on, please come down and say “hi”. If you bring something, I will sign it. Doesn’t matter what.
And check out the lineup, this is a very fancy author situation. They even got David Walker!!
PHENOMENA!
Phenomena is one of my most favorite things. The first two volumes of this adventure series are out right now.
Every single page looks this gorgeous.
If this world is getting on your nerves, may I invite you all to join us in the world of Phenomena.
The third volume will be out next spring. And is available for pre-order RIGHT NOW!
MASTERPIECE!
Dark Horse just released THIS preview of our soon-to-be-released Masterpiece collection.
This is the first collection of Alex Maleev and my brand-new multigenerational heist caper. Thanks to everyone who supported the monthly miniseries. Thank you for cheering us on. We are so happy to see this collected alongside Scarlet.
Out December 3rd!
JOY 2 THE WORLD!
Also coming soon is the second collection of JOY OPERATIONS. I just got my first copy in the mail, and it’s so beautiful.
TEACHING COMICS!
Welcome to a brand-new newsletter feature. These frequently asked questions about making comics were filmed as part of Kelly Sue DeConnick’s Visible Women initiative. Definitely check out Visible Women to see all the amazing creators’ portfolios and works. This collection of videos will be part of the Visible Women lecture series, but Kelly gave me permission to drop them here as well.
If you like what you’re hearing, please join us on the Powers Level, where there are literally dozens of classes and videos discussing any part of the journey you could possibly imagine, and then you can come visit us at the Jinxworld Discord, where we continue our conversation and everything you can think of every day. But mostly movies and comics. :-)
Also, if you are attending classes in the Portland area, I will be once again teaching the Writing Comics class for Portland State University. I will only be teaching the winter quarter. So, this is your only chance this year to have a full Portland comics class experience with us. I am a proud member of the Comics Studies program in Portland State University.
Do check out the class lineup HERE.
We will be gearing up new content for the Powers Level very soon. We are sorry for the delay this month, as real life has completely gotten in the way. But behind-the-scenes, we have been making all kinds of cool new stuff and I can’t wait to share it with you.
Thank you for subscribing. Thank you for supporting all of our books. Thank you for coming to join us in Miami.
I will newsletter you very soon.
-BENDIS!
