Your Avengers run is pretty freaking epic Jason! Thor, God of Fists is my favorite btw. I just finished it over the holidays. Make sure you all read this run people! It’s THAT good! I’m finishing your Punisher run as I write this. I’m also caught up with Batman Off World and we got Action Comics #1061 next week on the 9th! Can’t wait!!! Happy New Year to you and yours. Please post some of scripts on here when you get a moment. I definitely want to see your process when it comes to writing.

Thanks, Vince. And that's a good suggestion about the scripts. I'll do that.

What an amazing list of things you've done and things you're going to do. I got Vader black white and red as individual issues - very much a fan of your longer story and all the others. Is there anything extra in the treasury edition?

Thanks, Harvey. And I'm not sure about the treasury edition. I haven't seen it yet.

I have to say I was expecting not to like Off-World but it's actually badass as hell. I very much hope you get to write more Batman stories with more of an action/adventure/crime setting as opposed to sci fi.

And maybe this is juvenile of me but please have Batman and Ione sleep together. It would be a huge disappointment if they didn't. Like if James Bond didn't get any through a whole movie. It just wouldn't be right.

I certainly have other Batman stories to tell.

What a busy bee! Great stuff. If you ever get back to the Czech Republic, try to have a rive around. There are some great little towns with cool architecture and usually a castle or a palace nearby - the actor Crispin Glover lives in one! They are for sure great settings for a story or two. happy New Year!

Well, I already really wanted to go back, even before I knew that Crispin Glover has his own castle there.

It does look great. Bond villain stuff. https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/crispin-glover-czech-castle

Loved everything about this installment, Jason, save for the "Nightmare in Jordan-Hare" for obvious reasons! Glad you had a superb 2023. Here's to 2024!

Really digging Off-World. Esp. that you're using a Tamaranean! Cool.

Ione is pretty much a cross between Starfire and Dart from Atari Force, my first two comic book crushes.

I was definitely getting some Atari Force vibes off of this book.

DWJ's Beta Ray Bill mini is one of my favorite comics ever. Such a killer talent. Would love to see you two work together on something.

Yeah, I love that book too. And I agree, I would love to work with Daniel on something. But he also has no need for me. Dude is doing just fine on his own.

Congratulations on the start of your Action Comics run! I’m enjoying Batman Offworld

Looking forward to the new stuff. Hopefully it's something crime-y, noirish, and action-y.

Also just curious if you have knowledge of or influence on whether Scalped will ever get omnibus editions? I have the deluxe hardcovers from way back but I would love to see the series get a couple omnibuses like 100 Bullets did.

It seems like DC has intentionally de-prioritized Scalped for a while now and I think that's fucked up. Why do they do that? Is it a woke thing, like they think it's too controversial or some bullshit?

Anyway, thanks for all the entertainment over the years.

I think SCALPED got kinda lost in the shuffle for a bit with Vertigo going away and the TV series not getting picked up. But it certainly hasn't been forgotten. It was the first thing I asked about when I started writing for DC. So stay tuned.

Nice. I'm still hoping for a movie or tv adaptation. Killers of the Flower Moon seems to have put Native American culture in the spotlight again so that should help Scalped's chances.

Loving Batman Off World (and pretty much every book you write!) - any news on some old faves? Like The Goddamned or Southern Bastards? Would love to see more from those worlds (the European style albums of the Goddamned are perfection).
