Hi kids, do you like epic fantasy?
I’m not going to run too far with the throwback Eminem references. But I do feel the need to incessantly remind you all who I am after spending so long away. The official reintroductions will come in time, but I wanted to jump back into your inboxes before the end of the year.
No… I’m not trying to sell you anything. In fact, I’m here to give something away.
A handful of you jumped on this wagon while I was on hiatus from writing. I moved twice this year, bought my first home, didn’t get a divorce (dare I say, improved my marriage?), made a few more mistakes as a parent, and got a promotion. Hence said hiatus. That said, you’ve now received confirmation that you did follow a living person… or have you? The whole “AI is taking over the world” thing kind of blew up while I was away.
I’ll stop myself here because I’m really here for a simple reason:
To share these free pages.
Lines by Luke Horsman, colors by Bea Navarro, and freshly lettered by yours truly, let these serve as a reminder that I will be back soon. Ennead and Amashik mean too much to me to be away for much longer now.
Happy Holidays, ya filthy animals.

Oops, replied to your email before finding this substack. Anyway, I'll reiterate what I sent earlier in case it doesn't reach you: "Gorgeous, thank you and happy holidays... Oh, and grats on the fruitful hiatus."
