I wrote the script for Solo last year. This story has been in my brain, in one incarnation or another, since mid-2012, and I’m ready for it to go out into the world. I’ll be drawing the pages and slapping them up online the moment the ink’s dry, raw and fresh and full of mistakes. And full of swear words—the subject matter is fairly tame, but it’s not a kids�� comic.

I won’t be adhering to any sort of update schedule and I currently have no plans to publish Solo with a book or comics publisher,...

Last night I won the Eisner award for Best Publication for Teens. I’m grateful to the Eisner committee for nominating A Wrinkle in Time and to all the comics industry professionals who voted for me. It means a lot. Because you saw what I put into this book, and because this will help me keep doing the only thing I want to do, which is tell stories. And, too, because the last awards I won–an Ignatz for Promising New Talent in 2006 and, in 2007, an Eisner for “Special Recognition”–were at the b...

Shana Targosz, the costume designer for Bitter Orange, wrote a wonderful post about the dress she designed and built for Myrtle, the main character:

I’ve known Shana for years through her ties to the comics community, and getting to work with her was a blast!

A year ago I wrote and directed my first short film,Bitter Orange, a miniature period piece set in 1920s Hollywood. The project came together like a dream, and I soon found myself on set–a real set!–directing an unbelievable cast: Brie Larson, Brendan Hines and James Urbaniak. The experience was the most invigorating and inspiring few days of my life, and I’m thrilled that I can finally share the film we made. It will be screening at the , in front of midnight Scott Pilgrim,...
