Hello! I missed you! It’s probably not cool to say that, but…secret’s out, I’m not cool. I mean, I sort of am, but in that way that cats are cool. You know what I mean? They’re sort of bored and disinterested and sleepy all the time…which makes them appear above it all and thus…kinda cool. But really they’re just tired and self-focused. Yeah, that’s me. Less cool and more just an asshole. Just like cats.
Great newsletter! also, just in case no one else answered (which of course they did, I am a touch late to the game on this, and you are a highly popular and acclaimed writer with a large following of devoted fans and I am just some guy reading a newsletter on a friday instead of doing my job) BUT you did the whole conversation through images thing in Rogue & Gambit #2. I freaking loved that series, and that (along with West Coast Avengers of all things) convinced me to dig into your work, actually including heart in a box! which is also quite good... so yea. at least I have let you know how good your stuff is when inevitably someone else got the answer like right away or something...?
Thanks so much, Nate! You definitely got the right answer, just a little too late to win. Thanks for reading, I hope I can continue to bring you stuff you dig! <3
Kelly you KNOW I know it's got to be from Rogue and Gambit! My absolutely favorite comic book EVER because they're my favorite characters of all time and that was the most beautiful story anyone has ever given them! 😭 I miss you writing them so much! That scene with their argument all displayed out in bubble images is everything, especially for an old timer like me.
I definitely need to get my mits on HIAB now. Thanks for sharing your process. 😍
Question - Since you write so many pets in your stories, have your IRL kitties ever inspired any particular story beats?
You nailed it (of course you did)! BUT...you gotta give me an issue number to win!
And thank you so much for the kind words. I miss them too. <3
IRL kitties have definitely inspired somethings - including being the inspiration (or at least part of it) for Jeff the Land Shark! Oops, should have saved that for Q&A next time!
You got it! But I think Lauren beat you to it by a couple minutes. But I'm gonna give you a runner's up prize anyway. Shoot me your address at: 1979semifinalist @ gmail okay?
I won't know the issue... But I'm going to guess Jem and the Holograms? That is such a creative way to show the past rather than just filling a page with words. If Jem is correct, hopefully someone with the issue can identify it and get the prize!
Btw, I am going through your current run on Captain Marvel and love all the costume changes. I love how in this run and Unbeatable Squirrel Girl both characters had a wide range of outfits.
Please keep up the great work, and I think you're cool. (I bet you're parents also think you're cool too.)
Rogue & Gambit (Ring of Fire) Issue #2
You got it, Lauren! Congrats! Shoot me your address at: 1979semifinalist @ gmail and I'll get your prize out to you. <3
Yay!
Excellent cats. A+. Would pet.

Oh right! Well it's got to be issue 2 I think since that's when their session with Dr. Grand first started. 🤔
And I love that about the kitties!

😁 Will do! Thanks Kelly!

This is a great guess, I would have loved to try it there (but maybe Sophie would have murdered me?) - but it's not Jem. Sorry!
Lol that's fair. Jacki got the title, I have the issue (2). Since they did the work, they can get the prize.
That's very kind of you. <3
Nah, I wouldn't have even been close without their help. I'm glad they got runner up. And am thrilled at the winner as well!! Wooo!
