More info below:

DEADPOOL VOL. 7: AXIS TPB
Written by BRIAN POSEHN & GERRY DUGGAN
Penciled by MIKE HAWTHORNE
Cover by MARK BROOKS
Get ready for a different spin on the Merc with the Mouth! Since the events of AXIS inverted him, Deadpool has given up violence in favor of enlightenment! You heard right — Deadpool has gone Zen and found peace! So how is he going to help his “FauX-Men” friends live through an attack by the real, also-inverted X-Men?! I don’t know. Probably not very easily. It might involve cowboy stuff. Then, our wall-crawling hero is stalked by a classic Spider-Slayer! Wait, this isn’t a Spider-Man book. So what is a Spider-Slayer doing here? Deadpool had better find out before it mistakes one red-clad, wisecracking hero for another — and mashes DP into spider-paste! Plus: The Roxxon Corporation brings us a special educational story! Learn about gracking, the energy source of the future! Collecting DEADPOOL (2012) #35-40.
136 PGS./Parental Advisory …$17.99

Rest in peace, Jesus Gonzalez

Beloved friend and gifted writer Jesus Gonzalez died this week. He will be very, very missed. 

His obituary.

Jesus, Brian Keene, and I at the Comix Creator Cookout during happier times. 

"Everybody's been wondering where you been

And, now that we know what happened
We're all wondering where you are
And even though we feel bad we won't be seein you around anymore
We want you to know we feel better, we won't have to worry anymore
We know your only worry now is
You worrying about us worrying about you
And even though we stopped worrying
It doesn't mean we're not still sad
And we're happy to let you know that, we always will be"
- Father Guido Sarducci

We'll all miss you, compañero.

Best,

Mike

Oms en Série vol. two preview

The second volume of my French series, Oms en Série, has been out in Europe for a few weeks now, but I haven't shared much online yet. To remedy that, here is a big preview. 

I love getting to work with the amazing folks at Ankama, but especially with my friend (and series writer) JD Morvan. I'm very grateful to get to bring this Wul classic to life as a comic! 

Thanks to all the folks in Europe who have supported the book! Much love. 

Hopefully we will have an English edition someday. Fingers crossed. 

Best,

Mike
