039: Deep Cuts
Become a Massive-Fan! Back in Black(light)! Inferno Girl Red! Plus, MERCH DROP ALERT!
Hey everyone! Happy 2023! Apologies for the long gap between newsletters but, as I think you’ll probably see below, we’ve been slammed.
As of writing, we’ve recorded 6 out our 10 episodes for WHO IS NO/ONE, our big new audio series with Rachael Leigh Cook, Patton Oswalt and a host of other familiar voices, that actually continues the NO/ONE story each and every month.
For those just tuning in, NO/ONE is our really, really big, ambitious new true crime superhero experience, told across our monthly NO/ONE comic book, WHO IS NO/ONE audio series and a host of other in-universe storytelling platforms…
FOC on issue 1 is February 20! Definitely make sure you pre-order this one at your local shop and don’t miss out! For more info you can head to— https://blackmarket.la/no-one/
The Next Set…
In addition to NO/ONE, last month we announced another new series— but this one has a heck of a lot less superheroes.
Joe Clark and I are co-writing all six (double sized) issues and will be joined by Chris Brunner and Rico Renzi on covers, along with a host of killer artists on interiors as we take readers across jazz and American music for a sixty (!) year odyssey.
First up is Danilo Beyruth and Igor Monti!
