Just under the wire, a good thing from 2025!

Sneak peak: comic art complete!

No time to review 2025, I gotta work the ever popular New Year’s Eve shift in the ER. But I need to share with you big news, for me anyway: line art for my comic By the Time I Get to Dallas #5 is complete!! Just got the last page from artist Ben Worrell, and the cover to boot!

So to celebrate New Year’s, here’s a sneak peak just for my mailing list/Substackers: the By the Time I Get to Dallas #5 main cover by Ben Worrell.

I love it so much.

And that’s not all. Inks for this book are 3/4 done, and colors are 1/4 done! More on those later.

And line art for Trinity Project #5 by Ben Woronchak is 3/4 done!

And the scripts and editorial review for the final books, By the Time I Get to Dallas #6and Trinity Project #6 are done!

Ben is starting up art for Dallas 6 in the next few days.

What does all this mean? It means this comic book project will be complete in 2026, targeting early summer, with a Kickstarter planned for September.

The best thing you can do to celebrate this momentous moment is to follow along on my Kickstarter prelaunch page, so you don’t miss a thing and special updates along the way. Following the prelaunch is the single best way to ensure success for this thing. Click here and make my whole year!
