Recap of 2025: Doctor Who, EC Comics, and Unannounced Stories

Hey everyone!

Apologies for the radio silence (if you have been checking in here). This year has been quite hectic, and I’ve been hard at work making new comics. I hope that’s a good excuse!

Some of the stuff I’ve been working on is still unpublished and/or unannounced, but here’s a little recap of what’s out so far this year (in addition to the last issues of Kosher Mafia):

Doctor Who: The Fifteenth Doctor: The Prison Paradox #1-#2

I have had the pleasure of teaming up with Dan Watters and Valentina Bianconi on this four-issue Titan series, in which the Doctor, Belinda (the Doctor’s companion in time and space), and an unlikely team of allies infiltrate a prison holding monsters and villains from across the cosmos.

The first issue came out in November, and the second a week ago.

EC Comics

I have drawn a bunch of cool EC Comics stories for Oni Press over the year. They include:

Kosher Mafia

Kosher Mafia is a five-issue mini-series I actually finished drawing over a year ago. Now, three issues are out, but all the covers have been revealed, so I’m happy to share my cover inks as well as the final versions colored by Jason Wordie.

Hope you enjoy the whole series!

Kosher Mafia takes place in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1936. The story follows Howard Berkowicz, the bookkeeper for the Jewish Mob as he finds himself on the wrong end of an enforcer’s gun when he tries to spur the Kosher Mafia into action against the rising tide of domestic Nazism in the German American Bund.

Deer Editor #3

BUCK-le up for the exciting conclusion of our antler-noir miniseries! Deer Editor #3 is out today!

Abbott 1979 #4 & Deer Editor #2

Last Valentine’s Day was a double release day for me, as the penultimate issues of both Abbott 1979 and Deer Editor came out. Here’s a little preview of both of them.

The Abbott covers are by Taj Francis (A) and Ejikure (B).

Deer Editor #1

Mad Cave exclusive variant cover by Phil Hester

The first issue of Deer Editor hit the shelves last Wednesday, and it has gained some good reviews:

The Comic Book Dispatch

Comic Watch

Nerd Initiative

The Vineyard TPB

Wine to die for.

The Vineyard trade paperback came finally out this fall. I hope it’s been worth the wait!

This 104-page volume contains the entire mini-series (issues #1-4).

Deer Editor Comes To Mad Cave Studios

A John Doe slaying lures a journalist into a world of political intrigue, a wi-fi-enabled grotto, and a station locker full of secrets. For Bucky, an editor of the crime beat at “The Truth,” it’s all in a day’s work…

…but he also happens to be a deer.

Deer Editor, an originally crowdfunfed antler-noir miniseries by Ryan K Lindsay and me, will be published by Mad Cave Studios in 2024. We couldn’t be more excited to get our anthropomorphic story into stores!

Here’s a little preview of the first issue, which is available for pre-order now. The colors are by Lauren Affe and letters by Jim Campbell.
