Outstanding. I'm there for you on whenever you move this to a paid model, and whatever meagre pull I have in promoting.
Ka-Zar was a phenomenal read - which for me is saying something because I'm not a Ka-Zar guy. He's never landed. This was fun, and dark and beautiful. I've been putting it into people's hands all day, and happy Marvel had a preview PDF for retailers on this one.
Cheers, Brandon! The paid subscription is something that I feel weird doing but I really want to make it a community based thing as well as a space for cool experiments in storytelling. Happy to hear you're on board.
The response to Ka-Zar has been really something else and I can't thank you enough getting into people's hands! There's a little something hitting Retailers early next week that should have a preview of #2.
I reckon Lonnie and I will always have something we're working on. We've been writing together fuck... 8 years now? There's no real stopping anytime soon.
Great newsletter man! I'm a big fan of block scheduling my day as well. Makes it so much easier to focus on the task at hand. As for deadlines and managing upcoming events I use a pretty intricate 'silent' alert system I've built in Google Calendar. It reminds me about projects at certain points in the process where I should be and how long I have left. It might not work for most, but it works for me. However I do like the system you exemplified above.
As for KA-ZAR, I'm in the process of pitching it to my friends and fellow reviewer types. I love what you have been showing off in the newsletter and even though I am going in as a blank slate, I'm excited to learn about this character and the world you've built for this series. Can't wait to get my hands on it this week.
As an aside, I really appreciate how these two lines flow together. "Thanks to climate change, we exist the middle of an era that feels both incredibly surreal and all-encompassing." followed shortly by "If you’re struggling with the blazing fires on the west coast, and the hurricanes pounding the east coast..." I'm not literary genius but I think that is just good writing. You gave me a metaphorical middle as well as a literal middle. Maybe that is just me.
Congrats on all the success and the recent move! I love the newletter, and your writing obviously, so keep it up and I can't wait for the next one!

Wasn't sure what to expect with the move but I'm glad to hear you and Lonnie have another project together

Hey, thanks for all the kind words Ryan! Sounds like your system is working well for you! Whatever helps keep you organized, right?
Excited to hear what you think of Ka-Zar!
