Claim to fame: an anthology I had the closing story in, To End All Wars (which came out during the 194-1918 WWI centenary), got not one but two Eisner nominations.

We didn't win, but amazing for a small press publication to get two noms, and it means i can legitimately say I was an Eisner nominee author!

5 Reasons Why I Love “Assorted Crisis Events”

"A monthly Black Mirror" is the best way I can describe Assorted Crisis Events, an ongoing sci-fi anthology series from Image Comics that has thrills, chills, and has a lot to say about modern life in each issue. Assorted Crisis Events began in March 2025 and is written by Deniz Camp, drawn by Eric Zawadzki, colored by Jordie Bellaire, lettered by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, and designed by Tom Muller and Wesley Griffith. It has released five issues so far, so fittingly, I am giving you five reasons why you should love this ambitious new series and get on board immediately. 1. It's Like Black Mirror on the Page As I mentioned, Assorted Crisis Events is like a monthly episode of Black Mirror in comic form. Each issue is a new story, exploring new characters on a modern world that is facing "crisis events." What are the crises? Time is slipping, causing

From our review of #EisnerAwards nominee "Crownsville": "With a muted color palette, smoky blacks, and dreamlike imagery, Bonetti’s evocative art beautifully complements Barnes’s gritty, unsettling script." #Eisners #SDCC https://twincitiesgeek.com/2025/11/rodney-barnes-exhumes-real-world-horror-in-crownsville/
Rodney Barnes Exhumes Real-World Horror in “Crownsville”

In November 2019, not long before a pandemic-induced industry shutdown, writer Rodney Barnes vaulted onto center stage with Killadelphia—his wildly imaginative “Dracula meets The Wire” horror series. Interweaving American history with supernatural terror, the series went on to earn two Eisner Award nominations, underscoring how short the leap can be from the American project’s historical—and ongoing—failures to otherworldly nightmares. What feels like a lifetime later, Barnes has turned his lens on Maryland’s Crownsville Hospital Center, a Jim Crow–era “Hospital for the Negro Insane” notorious for its segregation, overcrowding, and rumors of unethical, nonconsensual patient research. For Barnes, whose grandmother was a nurse at Crownsville, the subject hits close to home. “Crownsville is the supernatural mystery tale I’ve been dying to tell,” he said in a statement from his publisher, Oni Press. “From a childhood haunt born in a place of pain, it’s my cathartic effort I’m thankful to share with
