What if #Punisher were left-wing? That’s the driving question behind my series of mini-comics with Daniel Max and Franci Gouvea. We’ve done 3 shorts (4-5 pg.) about fighting fascism in its various forms. Here’s a sneak peek at the fourth. Get the first 3 at drewxdeficit.bigcartel.com #comics

War Machine no. 1 in the 90s. I flipped through it at the comic & card shop where my brother bought Magic, and I remember the double page spread of Rhodey annihilating just about every Marvel villain. It felt dangerous and subversive. I had never seen anything like it before.

If you’re a comics fan, what’s the earliest comic book you can remember reading? And what kind of impression did it make on you?

What if #ThePunisher were left-wing?In his first entry, our vigilante makes his presence and mission known as he responds to a news host with a lot to say about transgender people. #comics #comicbooks #indiecomics Get one in print, guerilla zine-style: drewxdeficit.bigcartel.com

Punk & hardcore taught me to channel my anger into something more productive, like art. Fascism has dragged its grotesque form out of hiding and into public view. I only think it’s fair to meet it with equally grotesque storytelling. What if The Punisher were a radical leftist? #comics #comicbooks

I somehow missed Rosenberg writing TMNT at the convention, but I love him rolling up to talk turtles in a Bad Brains shirt. Matt: I hope this means your tenure channels the spirit of CBGB Sunday Matinees, the Lower East Side Crew, and Fearless Vampire Killers.

You should read my comics because you’re angry at the world around you. I am too, and I write so we can commiserate for a while, find each other, and let our anger motivate us to demand better for our lives. As Crass taught us, they DO owe us a living.

San Diego Comic Con was incredibly energizing and electric this year. I’ve come away feeling great about reading and discussing comics, but even better about making them. Every day, I’m going to tell you why I think you’d like my stuff, starting in a second, but first, I’ve gotta acknowledge people.

Do I need a Creed print for my classroom? Probably, yes. I love Saly's work. She's an A+ talent who deserves more eyes on her.

This not only highlights an AI issue, but also one of the treatment of art as a whole. The dude says, "The kids need beautiful stories," and praises Savage Dragon for being one. But Savage Dragon already exists. Let them read it. Comics don't need adaptation to be validated or respected.

What am I doing with my life?

I'm super stoked to once again speak on a panel about comics as educational tools during San Diego Comic Con this week. I'll be at the SD Central Library at 2:00 PM if you're in the area. And I'll be at the con all weekend if anyone wants to say hi (or fight me for my political opinions). #SDCC

#PortfolioDay I also write poetry comics, each a single page paired with an incredible artist where we can both work together to enhance each other's skills.

Hi, #portfolioday! I'm Drew, a writer who specializes in character-driven comics. In superheroes, I focus on the people behind the symbols. I've been published by DC Comics and I even wrote an officially licensed Justice League video game. I'd like to work with you! Here are some examples:

Hey! Did you know I launched a webstore for my mini-comics? And that you could use that webstore to make my mini-comics your mini-comics? They’re handmade, DIY, zine-style, and violent, political, and cathartic. drewxdeficit.bigcartel.com

Poetry is cool. Comics are cool. What if they were cool together? I just made prints of “Apricity,” a comic poem about missing an old friend and the joy they brought to your life. You can get one RIGHT NOW! drewxdeficit.bigcartel.com

Another day, another batch of mini-comics to assemble and ship. The people love left-wing vigilantes.

Can I get a hell yeah?

The news is out! @ifyoucantwell.bsky.social and I will be working together on a brand new Gotham Central story as part of DC’s Bad Seeds event! Here’s my cover

On top of excellent writing & world building, this book features some of the best Denys Cowan art I’ve ever seen, which is a truly bonkers thing to be able to say.

Out tomorrow. Crazy to think this is my 20th issue on Nightwing. It's definitely my favourite so far. Oh, and in this one a new character joins our Bludhaven cast. Possibly related, if you enjoyed Batman: Dark Patterns, you'll want to read this one...

Hey! You can buy physical, DIY-style copies of my mini-comics now. That's cool, right? drewxdeficit.bigcartel.com

Saw Disclosure Day yesterday and it's classic Spielberg. Big hell yeah to Gabriel Hardman for getting to be a part of it and sharing these. Go read Batman/Green Arrow/The Question.

I’m very pleased to have had the chance to storyboard DISCLOSURE DAY and work with Steven Spielberg, one of my filmmaking heroes.

@sailorgainz18.bsky.social sat down with @drewxdeficit.bsky.social to talk about everything from the polarizing genius of @tomking.bsky.social to the importance of independent thinking in a crowded industry. #POFPOD #monday #goodmorning #comics #podcast TAP IN : youtu.be/2LqcYw0ACEs

Sometimes I remember that everything I know about being creative comes from the punk scene. Related: here are my handmade, DIY mini-comics starring my Lefty Punisher character (who needs a real name).

That new Spaceballs could somehow get a negative score on Rotten Tomatoes, and I’ll still go see it because I want to see Rick Moranis again.

Tom King is a good writer. A great one, in fact. It has become social media hackneyed behavior to provide empty criticisms of him and just out-and-out lies about him for clicks, and it’s the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen in comic fandom.

I hate him so much. Imagine being so universally hated by so many people that your name doesn't even have to be said and people just know who we're talking about.

If DC Comics wants to make a bazillion dollars, they’ll make these for real
