Hey everyone! 

This week is perhaps one of the most important weeks of my career because a new book of mine, an auto-bio comic, lands in bookstores Tuesday. It’s called Happiness Will Follow and is published by BOOM Studios’ Archaia imprint. This thing is 10 years in the making, and the day is almost here for the world to see it!

I will not bore you with a sales pitch, but instead direct you to some reviews.

Publisher’s Weekly-

AND The American Library Association’s Booklist reivew-

It has been a heart wrenching process, but I’m proud of the book and I hope you’ll check it out.

It will be in book stores Tuesday the 21st, and comic shops in mid August (THANKS COVID 19!)

ALSO, issue 35 of The Immortal Hulk hit stands this past week and everyone seems really happy with the issue! I had an incredible time drawing it, and I think it shows on the page.

I signed up with the fine folks at Hakes Americana auction house to offer some rare Marvel art. Deadpool, X-men, Superior Spider-man art will be up for grabs. Good stuff I hadn't been willing to part with in the past.

I’ll keep you posted, but you can also reach out to Hakes if you’re interested.

I must say, my Patreon is getting to be the highlight of my work week. It’s been crazy fun to get to share more intimately with my squad of Patrons. This past week alone you missed out on high res Cheat Codes, preview at up-coming projects, some rare scans of my pencil comic book work, AND a process video of my drawing a Spider-man vs Green Goblin piece from rough pencils to finished inks!

Less than the price of a comic gets you in the door and each tier is even more special!

Go check it out -

Best,

Mike
