All of these guides are a priority for me, but the top vote-getting guide will be one of the next DC guides I complete - even if it turns out to be incredibly difficult for me 😅. Plus, the winning guide will be available to all Patrons when it is released!

Hello, my living, breathing, definitely-not-undead Patrons! I'm back with your Patron's Choice guide for February... or, should I say, one of your choices - since you somehow conspired to hand me a three-way tie on the January poll! Plus, something extra for Pledgeonauts...
Hello, my action-packed Pledgeonauts! I'm so happy to bring you two super-heroic guides for a pair of heroes who left their home planets for very different reasons. One just celebrated his 85th birthday last year, and the other is celebrating his 45th birthday this year. Maybe you've heard of them...
Hello, my patient Pledgeonauts! You've been incredible supporters of this campaign while I've knocked out a lot of guides for all supporters over the course of the past year, but in 2024 I want to get back to getting you some exclusives in exchange for chipping in $2 or more every month. Today, I've got a pair of guides that required two very different kinds of intense research on my part.
Vote for the somewhat spooky Marvel guides you want to see the most!

I'm back with what is kind of a Patrons' Choice guide, because it was the second-highest vote-getter in last year's poll for Indie & Licensed Comics. This was a massive undertaking to put together, but hopefully all of my work makes it simple for all of you to understand and enjoy how to read...
Happy New Year, my incredible Patrons! I'm here to catch you up on THREE new comic guides. Each of these guides is significant enough that they would usually merit their own post, but I don't want to bombard you with multiple notifications - so buckle up and let's go!

Hello, my fierce Patrons! Last week I launched only my second new DC Guide this year, plus made a few MASSIVE page updates to existing guides.

I originally had plans for September as a launch month for a core of indie guides on CK to test the waters with you all and with overall site traffic.
Life got in the way in September, but now I'm transferring all of that planning and energy from one equinox to another and preparing to launch some indie content in March.
So: Tell me what you want, what you really really want from indie guides!

Hello, my Unstoppable Patrons! I'm excited to share a guide for one of my favorite Marvel characters of the past decade, plus a pilot of a new style of blog post aimed specifically at folks who love figuring out how to map collected editions.
Hello, my Astonishing Patrons! After a longer break than I wanted to take, I'm finally back to updating Crushing Krisis. As promised back in October, I've picked up exactly where I left off - with an unfashionably late spooky guide to support a new entry in the MCU.
Hello, gang!
I'm writing a quick note to let you know that I'm getting back to the business of guide-making and page-updating after an unexpected break for the past month.
Just a few days after making my last post to you (and in the middle of tons of work!), I received some very difficult personal news.
The news is not entirely mine to share with you right now. All I can say is that it was shocking and that it involves some major change in my life. I'm in good health as is t...

As promised, the past week has been my first pivot back to creating new DC guides since the launch of my Guide to Legion of Super-Heroes back in June. That was originally going to mean the launch of just one DC Guide, but it turned into three. More on that, below.
Before I make my pivot back to DC I had a pair of Marvel heroes to launch into their own guides in support of a major guide update I made last week!
