Great to get your newsletter!

You mentioned that you recently watched Hari Kiri, was it the original or the Miike remake? Either way, I recommend seeking out the other, they’re both gold!

Great first newsletter, very excited for more! Can't wait for Transformers, looks so awesome!

Also... sorry if this is too forward, but me and my friend Mighty Lee's Comics' absolutely adore your work, would you at all be ever interested to come on my podcast to talk to us about it? We could arrange it to nicely coincide with a release of a Transformers issue in the upcoming months! Absolutely no worries and no pressure if not though, just wanted to ask!

Thanks!

I really enjoy your YouTube channel and this first Substack post. Looking forward to future content. Thank you for sharing your talent in these ways. I'm also so glad to get this heads up on you adding signed/remarqued books to your store page. I finally got one!

Glad to have been in on the first newsletter! Really looking forward to Transformers and wanted to say thanks for taking the time to do any signings at NYCC. It gets pretty wild at those things and I'm sure it would be nice to have a break entirely.

That last panel you shared from TF vs. GI Joe definitely has me interested in whatever a turborat is.

Hopefully I'll see you there. And give TF Vs GI a read, it's really out there but very worth it IMO.

Hey DWJ can't wait for your transformer comic to come out ! I also wanted to recommend a manga called takemitsu zamurai it doesn't have an English release but you can find pages of it and art is amazing I think you would dig it !

It would be nice to get announcements of all your variants. I feel like I only get some because I'm always searching for new ones. I've gone back and gotten most of them but I don't want to miss out on any newer ones. Also you were right that horrendous album ripped. Check out a band called Bekor Qilish.

Will do! And the variant thing I will do my best to do. I do so many so its even hard for me to keep track of. But at the very least i'll be updating my shop with them more often.

I've recently gotten into baseball after a couple of decades of ignoring it. Being from Central Mass, I flocked to the Red Sox only to find out that they've sucked for a good amount of time! What are your thoughts on the current season, if you care about baseball (it's fine if you don't)? Lastly, your writing is perfectly admirable! I was engaged the entire read, and am excited to read more. I feel a lot of character in your writing!

I love my Red Sox! I've been so busy with life and parenting and work I haven't had time to really get into their season this year. They've been on the struggle bus for a while now though.
