I’ve been asked if I’ll eventually give the OVERWORD treatment to 90s comics, a treatment that entails a critical and thorough (and quasi-nostalgic) examination. Aside from my Addicted to Speed Lines 199X posts a while back, I’ve already been building a case throughout all of the interviews I’ve done for Bloodstrike: Brutalists.

BLOODSTRIKE 25th Anniversary Retrospective

Today marks the 25th anniversary of Bloodstrike #1! As I’m revving up for the June release of my mini-series, Bloodstrike: Brutalists, I wanted to celebrate my favorite undead government squad by taking a deep dive into their publishing history. Along the way, I’ll add commentary on the aspects that helped inform Brutalists and what I love about this specific Rob Liefeld-created roster. It’s a lot to cover, so let’s get into it!

C O P R A #31

What does a political sex cult, a drug deli, and vigilante justice have in common? They’re Castillo’s Saturday night, that’s what. Catch this rare glimpse into the mind of Copra’s top enforcer in this painfully personal war on crime in COPRA #31!

As you might’ve heard, Fantagraphics is publishing a collection of my other series ZEGAS (Tell your Local Comics Shops!! Diamond code: MAR178365) for a November 15th release. If you’re unfamiliar with the title that kicked off Copra Press, this is your chance to read these out-of-print stories that I still dearly love.
You’ll get a chance to check out advance copies of Zegas at SPX this September. It’s too early to confirm but we’re hoping to have a signing at the Fanta table (I will be there all weekend at the Bergen Street Press table, too).
Finally, I’ll soon be posting sneak peeks of some non-Copra projects over on my Patreon page, on top of my page-by-page serialization of N E G △ T I ▽ E L △ N D — get on it!
