FEATURED RELEASES
RECENT NEWS
August 2025: I contributed a one-shot story to Keanu Reeves’ BRZRKR universe, with the phenomenal Garry Brown! You can read about it over at Entertainment Weekly. Also, the massive 1400 page Monstress compendium, collecting Volumes 1-8, is being released this October — and soon after, Volume 10: Hollow Gods. And also, Monstress Book 3 has just been released, our special edition hardcover that collects Vol 7-9! I guess this is what happens when you’ve been working on a series for ten years! I’m currently writing Monstress Vol 11 — more soon on that front.
March 2025: It’s the 10 year anniversary of Monstress! Wild, how time flies, and how much we still love creating this series. Also, we cannot say it enough: our gratitude for the support of readers, booksellers, and librarians is endless. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. Monstress could not exist without you all.
Some other updates: New podcast interview with me, over at Image, about creating Monstress — and a lovely Forbes piece with me and Sana about our ten year anniversary. The third book in our other series, Night Eaters: Their Kingdom Come, hits shelves on April 15th, and we’re incredibly excited about that release. And in other news, I wrote the foreword to the Folio Society’s new collection of Superman comics.
OLDER NEWS
June 2024: Some fun news! Inside the Box Animations created a 5 part animated series based off my Han Solo run — and I am totally in love with it. Thank you so much to their incredible team, and please check it out!
February 2024: Spring is almost here! Some news: Wingborn, the long-awaited sequel to Wingbearer, will be released on October 1st — you can check out the beautiful cover above. I’m so excited for you to see Grace Kum’s gorgeous interiors (in collaboration with Teny Issakhanian). Also, I’m very honored to have written the introduction to the 50th Anniversary edition of Patricia McKillip’s The Forgotten Beasts of Eld, just released by Tachyon. If you’ve never read that fantasy novel, please do — it is a treasure, a classic — as is most of her work.
