Blog postStrictly speaking, anyone doing commissions of IP they don’t own is risking being sued. In practise, everyone does it and it’s an accepted part of comics culture. I can’t see any time we’d sue someone for just doing a commission of our work. I take it as a compliment, and love seeing other folks’ take.
To be honest: if I were this artist I’d be more afraid of non-indie creators. Sure, the big companies have shown a blind eye to it, but corporate positions change, and if they did, they4 months ago Read more -

Blog post2022 update!
I talked to William at Avatar at the start of the year, to check in on the plans going forward. Basically, they’re concentrating on things other than publication this year. As in, no Uber in 2022.
Sorry it’s not better news.
I understand frustration. Uber is Avatar’s property, so all this is outside my control. I’m still committed to the last four issues, whenever their schedule allows. There are plans of how it will happen, so I’m optimistic it will end even4 months ago Read more
Titles By Kieron Gillen
Bounty Hunters on the attack--against the Empire! Vader has a new mission to do for the Empire. Unfortunately, it's completely at odds with his own mission. What's a Dark Lord to do? Plus: Who is Tagge's mysterious new agent?
Kieron Gillen’s blockbuster X-Men run concludes! Cyclops leads his squad to Tabula Rasa — a newly discovered area of the Marvel Universe where evolution has run rampant. And the Immortal Man plans to show the X-Men just how out-of-date Homo superior really are! Then, prepare for a prison break, X-Men-style — guest-starring the Avengers! But the return of the Phoenix Force puts these two mighty teams on an inevitable path to war! The cataclysmic conflict of AVX will shake the X-Men to their core, with unexpected consequences for all of mutantkind — but after the Phoenix Force takes drastic action, what will happen to Cyclops when the dust settles? Plus, the Juggernaut-powered Colossus! The Phalanx! The evil brilliance of Unit! And the master geneticist, Sinister, brings his diabolical schemes to fruition!
One of the greatest antagonists in all of fiction rises again! Fresh from a stinging defeat at the hands of the Rebel Alliance, Darth Vader must reassert the Empire's iron grip on the galaxy. But will his personal desire for vengeance against the young Jedi who destroyed the Death Star distract from Vader's duty to the Emperor? As a fateful quest begins, the Dark Lord of the Sith will face fresh threats to his power. And as other villains old and new play their part — from Boba Fett and Jabba the Hutt to diabolical debutant Doctor Aphra and the killer droids Triple-Zero and BeeTee-One — will Vader's imperial march continue, or will his schemes prove his undoing?
The original Dark Lord of the Sith stars in his first ongoing series! Ever since Darth Vader's first on-screen appearance, he has become one of pop-culture's most popular villains. Now, follow Vader straight from the ending of A NEW HOPE (and the pages of the new STAR WARS comic book) into his own solo adventures — showing the Empire's war with the Rebel Alliance from the other side! But when a Dark Lord needs help, who can he turn to? As Vader pursues a very personal vengeance against the Rebels and investigates the Emperor's secret machinations, he clashes with weapons scavenger Aphra and deadly Battle Droids, and returns to Geonosis to build an army. But some very powerful people don't want him to learn the truths he seeks! Guest-starring Jabba the Hutt, Boba Fett and more!
A forgotten hero returns - but will the truth behind his exile consume the world? Only the New Mutants can help young Loki now! Then, civil war breaks out among the British Manchester Gods! But even with Loki's aid, can Merlyn, King Arthur and Captain Britain prevail? And what does Hela want with the Holy Grail?! Meanwhile, Thor is caught in an eternal game between cosmic entities - and when the cursed Vanir return and declare war on Asgardia, Surtur's fire rages across the nine worlds! A desperate Loki journeys into the heart of Surtur's fiery kingdom, but Loki's future and past collide when Thor becomes trapped in the underworld- and the truth about young Loki is finally revealed!
Loki has been reborn as a child, but will he be Asgard's savior? FEAR ITSELF looms, and the Serpent threatens Earth! The mortals' only hope is that Thor can fulfill an ancient prophecy, but the plan is doomed to fail without help from young Loki. The former Lord of Lies' only chance of success is to use all the skills of deceit that made him so hated in his past life. But will the reborn godling find redemption - or damn himself further? And in the war's aftermath, Nightmare is gathering enough energy to rule the world - and the mother lode is inside Loki's mind. Aided by an undead handmaiden and a demon puppy, Loki will risk everything on a scheme so crazy, it could only have been hatched by a God of Mischief!
Darth Vader has been secretly pursuing his own agenda, but now it is time for the End of Games. As Inspector Thanoth returns with some startling information, it seems that Vader may have passed his master's tests. But even after finding favor in the eyes of the Emperor, the Dark Lord's schemes may yet prove his undoing. While killer droids Triple-Zero and Beetee wreak havoc in their own homicidal adventure, the Empire's dreadnought The Executor moves closer to launch. But Vader faces tumultuous battles with the cybernetic Cylo — and himself! Lost in visions of the Force, is he now more machine than man? Or can he fight his way back from the brink to see his missions and machinations finally come to fruition? The imperial march of the dark side reaches a crescendo!
The Dark Lord of the Sith's unstoppable march continues! The natives of Shu-Torun are revolting, and there's no way the Empire will stand for that. When Darth Vader is tasked with leading a military assault against the planet, could it be that his rise to glory has begun? But who will follow Vader into war? Would you? Then again, it's better to fight alongside Vader than against him. That's a lesson that the ore barons are about to learn.
