In 2015, internet superstar musician Jonathan Coulton and I ran a Kickstarter for The Princess Who Saved Herself, a children’s book based on Jonathan’s beloved song that told the story of princess Gloria Cheng Epstein Takahara de la Garza Champion, an awesome kid who lives with her pet snake and plays rock ‘n’ roll all day to the huge annoyance of the classical guitarist witch who lives down the road.
The book was drawn by the great Takeshi Miyazawa, colored by Jessica Kholinne, and lettered by Simon Bowland, and it remains one of the projects I’m most proud of in my entire career.
And now we’re making a sequel!
The original book celebrated a scrappy kid who stuck up for herself but was always able to open the circle and find reconciliation with the monsters and witch she came into conflict with. We absolutely love that story of determination, bravery, and understanding.
But what happens next, when our heroine discovers that the witch she befriended miiiiight not be such a great friend after all?
Very proud of WEAPON H #7, which hits comic shops this coming Wednesday. Captain America co-stars, and that gave us a huge opportunity to dig deep into Weapon H’s heart and soul — and personal tragedy — as he meets one of his greatest inspirations.

I’ve written dozens if not hundreds of Marvel characters since I started writing comics professionally in 2004. But I’ve never written Deadpool! Until now! Fred Van Lente are co-writing WEAPON X, where Deadpool’s just joined Sabretooth’s team of maniacs as they take on the (once again) resurrected Reverend Stryker, who now has a robot body, because of course.
The panel above might be my fave from WEAPON X #23, with line art by the great Yildiray Cinar, colors by Frank D’Armata, and letters by Joe Caramagna. Full page below!
