Greetings and welcome back to Burnt Barn Business.
It’s been a minute as I’ve waited to be able to announce some of the exciting things that have been chugging away in the background since the turn of the year.
I mentioned previously about my and Shaky’s story in the Oni Press anthology XINO (still available to order) and now I can reveal that our series WEIRD WORK will be hitting the direct market through IMAGE GOSHDARN COMICS!
As you can probably tell I’m a little bit excited about this.
As a kid, I collected trading cards and had the sets for all the original Image books, Spawn, Savage Dragon etc. I then fell in love with books like Criminal and Invincible and have never stopped reading Image books since.
This is mostly the same as the crowdfunded release with a few new splash pages added where, George Lucas-style, I’ve righted a few wrongs I’d always felt from the original release (although hopefully making the project better not worse like with CGI Jabba).
We also have new covers by Shaky on the first couple of issues as well as an awesome lineup of variant covers throughout the 4-issue run.
If you’re a fan of the series I hope you’ll let your local comic shop know to get a big batch in. If you have never read the series before I hope that you’ll check it out.
I’ll be back in touch soon with another announcement and also to chat a bit about what I learnt from a great book I just finished reading, ADVENTURES IN THE SCREEN TRADE by legendary screenwriter William Goldman.
That’s all for now.
Till then, stay safe out there.

Totally inspiring! Well done, Jordan :)
