Pre-order SAM WILSON: CAPTAIN AMERICA #1 today, friends!

Cover of SAM WILSON: CAPTAIN AMERICA #1 by Taurin Clarke showing Sam Wilson in his Captain America outfit flying across the screen with his falcon. Red Hulk looming in the background. Wild floating facilities in the sky overhead. Patriot, War Machine, and Storm along the bottom of the page.

Hey, friends! Today is the final order cutoff for comic shops to place their orders for SAM WILSON: CAPTAIN AMERICA #1, so you’d do me a HUGE favor if you’d call your local shop and ask ’em to pre-order a copy for you TODAY, Monday, November 25!

You can find your local comic shop at comicshoplocator.com!

SAM WILSON: CAPTAIN AMERICA #1 is written by yours truly and the great Evan Narcisse with line art by Eder Messias and Valentine De Lauro, colors by Fernando Sifuentes, letters by Joe Caramagna, and gorgeous covers by Taurin Clarke – just check out that image above!

The story follows our social worker turned super-hero Sam Wilson as he gets pulled by his cousin Billie into a billionaire’s scheme to use mindblowing technology to help Black farmers. But is it all what it seems? And what about that Red Hulk on the cover?

The book’s been a tremendous chance to play with huge super-hero adventure, delve into big sci-fi futurist fantasy, and explore the very specific ways this specific Black Captain America embodies, analyzes, and fights for the promise of America.

For more about the book, here’s an interview from the fine folks at the Captain America Comic Book Fans podcast with me and Evan:

I think you’re gonna freaking love it. Please do ask your local comic shop to pre-order it for you today, and check out some stunning interior pages below!

Interior art from SAM WILSON CAPTAIN AMERICA #1 showing Sam Wilson as Captain American descending down to smash some vampires on the streets of New York City - flying white pigeons and his falcon beside him, backlit by a glorious flare from the setting sun. Art by Eder Messias and Fernando Sifuentes.

Page from SAM WILSON: CAPTAIN AMERICA #1 showing a flashback sequence with Sam Wilson and his cousin Billie seeing their grandfather on the farm looking grimly at letters that he and other Black farmers have received. Snow is falling. In the last panels, their grandfather gazes solemnly out over his field as the snow falls and geese fly away. In the last panel, we see Sam Wilson as Captain America in real time flying out over the fields of upstate New York, glorious in the sun, accompanied by his falcon. But still a solemn feeling. Line art by Valentine De Lauro, colors by Fernando Sifuentes.

LAWFUL #1 and anxiety

Panel from LAWFUL #1 showing Sung, a young Asian man in a cloak and carrying a satchel, walking down the street towards us, looking down, stressed, whispering "You're fine. You're fine. You're fine." to himself. Drawn by Diego Galindo, colored by Irma Kniivila, lettered by Simon Bowland, written by Greg Pak.

I’ve seen multiple folks who suffer from anxiety talking about how hard LAWFUL #1 hit them — in a good way. Always incredible when a book means something to a specific audience like that. If you’re an anxious person (like me!), maybe LAWFUL will resonate.

In comic shops now!

2024-06-12 – LAWFUL #1 in stores today, Greg Pak signs at Anyone Comics in Brooklyn!

PAGE FIVE of LAWFUL #1 Panel 2: The Champion looks down sternly. CHAMPION: THIS… this is NOTHING… CHAMPION: …compared to what you’ve done to YOURSELF. CHAMPION: Now you’ll learn the BLESSING… CHAMPION: …and the CURSE… CHAMPION: …that keeps us SAFE. Panel 3: Sung starts to unbutton his shirt. CHAMPION: If you BREAK the RULES… SUNG: Nngh! Panel 4: Sung stares down in alarm - -there are three red scales on his chest! CHAMPION: …everyone will SEE it. SUNG: Ah! Panel 5: Close on the grim Champion. CHAMPION: And if you KEEP breaking them… Panel 6: Close on Sung, ashamed and fearful, buttoning his shirt back up. CHAMPION: …YOU’LL become a monster YOURSELF.

Please nominate WHO BELONGS? for the Ringo Awards!

Cover of the WHO BELONGS? comic by artist Jeremy Arambulo, showing an Asian American mother and son walking towards us down a New York street followed by historical figures including Wong Kim Ark, Lee Yick, Frederick Douglass, and George Washington.

Hey, friends! I don’t usually make a lot of noise about awards, but I’m enormously proud of WHO BELONGS?, a comic book published by the New York City Department of Education that tells the history of Asians and Asian Americans who played a role in key legal cases ensuring citizenship and civil rights — and I’d be honored if you’d consider nominating it for the Ringo Awards.

You can download and read the book for FREE here.

And you can nominate the book and its creators for the Ringo Awards right here!

Anyone can participate in nominations for the Ringo Awards – both comic book pros and readers! And nominations close on Friday, so please don’t hesitate!

You can nominate the book for “Best Single Issue or Story,” “Best Non-Fiction Comic Work,” and “Best Kids Comic or Graphic Novel.” And you can nominate individual creative team members, including penciller and inker Jeremy Arambulo, colorist Irma Kniivila, letterer Janice Chiang, and writer Greg Pak (hey, that’s me!).

Thank you so much for your consideration, and I hope you enjoy the book!
