Here's some stuff I've been writing for Den of Geek, The Beat, and The Comics Courier

Wednesday, October 1st, 2025

Lately I've been working with a few of my favorite outlets, including my newest article, a historical recap and review of Albert Pyun's recently discovered director's cut of Captain America for The Beat.

Earlier this year I delved into one of my deepest passions for The Comics Courier, writing about the bizarre circumstances that led to Marvel's collaboration with the Florida Department of Citrus, resulting in the reimagining of Captain Citrus.

Two recent collaborations with Den of Geek produced a pair of bucket list interviews for me. I profiled the composers and creators of Avatar for the Avatar: The Last Airbender 20th Anniversary Special Edition magazine, made in collaboration with Nickelodeon for San Diego Comic-Con 2025.

And, finally, it's not something I wrote but I did an on-camera interview with Todd McFarlane at SDCC, digging into his comic book creation process (many Spawn comics are still made Marvel style!) and his publishing philosophy.

My Transformers Tale "The Morphlings" Is In Comic Shops Now

Wednesday, April 20th, 2022

Heh heh, true. You know what? That gives me an idea. Did I ever tell you guys about... The Morphlings

I wrote a Beast Machines campfire story for the Transformers: Beast Wars 2022 Annual, in comic book stores on April 20, 2022 from IDW Publishing. Sitting with me underneath the night sky are Andrea Bell (art), Jake M Wood (letters), and Jazmine Joyner (edits).

Here's a little preview of the weird world you'll visit in The Morphlings...

It was on a planet much like Cybertron but desolate and cloaked in perpetual night. Heck, maybe it was Cybertron. I can't say for sure.
Their master? Megasavage. Think Megatron, just bigger, badder, and bleaker.
Driven underground by Megasavage, they called themselves The Defiance.

I hope you dig what you see! I'm a huge Beast Machines fan, so I was stoked to bring a bit of that flavor to the IDW comics.

And... the first review of the Beast Wars 2022 Annual is already in, thanks to Megan Peters at ComicBook.com!
A slew of unsung characters from the franchise makes their way to the top in this delicious entry to delight fans.
