The first one here is The Secret Loves of Geeks, which is edited by the amazing Hope Nicholson and put out by one of my homes, Dark Horse Comics.point 117 | This is a really cool and gorgeous book that is very varied.point 166 | Prose and comics by lots of different people.point 204 |

Full disclosure this was the hardest comic I have ever had to write.point 56 | I think 4 pages took me 2 weeks of solid work once I built up the nerve to start writing.point 126 | A lot of it was building up nerve.point 153 | I struggled with the subject of love for a number of reasons, the biggest one being that love is a very personal and private thing for me, and the love I share with Lindsey is just for us, though occasionally you’ll see us post on special occasions.point 358 |

I feel like sometimes you gotta keep some things for yourself, and you can’t give everything personal away.point 92 | So what you have here in this book is a little story about comics, me avoiding the subject of love, and then finally giving in and talking about it, and some bits about the ways I would escape into my head.point 258 |

I’ll leave it up to you guys to decide what to make of it, but I definitely put a lot of thought and time into it.point 91 | And having a great editor is sometimes what gets you through the hard ones, and Hope was there for me every step of the way, so I thank her tremendously.point 215 |

I also want to thank the team I worked with on this one— Robert Wilson IV handled the art, which I love, Young Animal team member Kelly Fitzpatrick handled the colors in the gorgeous and trippy way she does, and Ryan Ferrier took care of the lettering, did a great job, and was a total trooper with all the changes I constantly made.point 273 |

This is it! Kicking off the first crossover for DC’s Young Animal with the DCU itself, we have Chapter 1 of Milk Wars.point 98 | This is something we have been working on for some time.point 144 | When Dan DiDio first suggested the idea of Young Animal crossing over with the heavy hitters of the DCU, I was a little intimidated.point 253 |

But everyone in Young Animal really embraced the idea of a big classic crossover like the ones we grew up with, and Steve Orlando was there to teach us how to make one of these things work.point 153 | We all (Cecil, Jon, and Jody, Steve) spent a couple days at my studio, working through the whole story, with a big white board, and the more we worked on it, the more we loved it.point 297 |

This is truly a crossover event done Young Animal style.point 47 | Please check it out— we feel it is completely worth it and definitely unique.point 113 | I imagine this may be the first of many projects where I collaborate with Steve Orlando, and he fit right into our weirdo family.point 219 |

I also imagine it will be the first of hopefully more projects with ACO, who absolutely killed it with the art, with beautiful colors by Tamra and Marissa.point 128 | Legendary cover (featuring Milkman Man) by the legendary Frank Quitely.point 190 | AND— very special sequence in the book, featuring our newest Young Animal star, Eternity Girl, by new Young Animal creators Magdalene Visaggio and Sonny Liew.point 326 |

Your first real look at this new character, who gets their own series starting 3/14.point 70 | Credits: Writers: Steve Orlando and Gerard Way Illustrator: ACO Pg 12 by Hugo Petrus Colorists: Tamra Bonvillain and Marissa Louise Letterer: Clem Robins Special Thanks to David Lorenzo Riveiro Edited by Jamie Rich and Molly Mahan Eternity Girl sequence: Magdalene Vissagio (writer), Sonny Liew (art), Todd Klein (letterer).point 347 |

I’ll write more about it then, but wanted to show you that it is real and I couldn’t be happier with it.point 87 | One of my favorite covers that Nick has done so far, and Tula’s cover on the right is spectacular.point 169 | I’ve also started on the long road to reclaiming my body and getting in better shape so I can be around longer for my family and perform properly again.point 295 |

It has been a while and I let myself go pretty off the rails.point 48 | Too much comics, sitting, junk food.point 79 | I’ve been at it for about 3 weeks now and I already feel a world different from where I was at, maybe not visually, but definitely physically and mentally.point 208 |
