SICKO. Me, my brilliant friends @milkar79 @amandagrazini and Arianna Maher, and the guidance of @jamie_s_rich and the fellow sickos at @ignitionpress.

Valentine Virago is a med student who finds herself laid low by chronic immune system attacks. The real trouble starts when her immune system starts attacking *other people.*

All the fun of a horrifying medical mystery with a splash of cynicism, surrealism, sex, and psychosis, SICKO is a book for us luminous incredible beings stuck inside these breakable and hateable flesh prisons. 💉😷 July 22 2026.

(Moodboard in the slides, as well as a photo from Wednesday's signing and a bit of one of my favorite pages from Amilcar ❤️😌)

What do you get when you turn Gotham's most unhinged girls loose on Gotham’s most unhinged girls?

SIRENS: LOVE HURTS, a 4 (OVERSIZED!) Issue Black Label miniseries written by me and drawn by BADDIE ELITE @babsdraws!

Originally conceived of by the incredible @jesschillin_likeavillain, now in the hands of @whattheshea, Babs and I have been working on this one for literal YEARS. It's the Gotham City Sirens + Dinah doing a little Sex and the City and a little The Long Halloween. A year in the life of the Gotham girls as they deal with the realities of life and love in the city while also hunting down a deadly serial killer targeting women, with the kind of gravitas, EXTREMELY real humor, and patience Black Label lets us explore. Dinah is engaged to Ollie, Selina is on the dating scene, while Harley and Ivy haven't yet figured out that the one you need might be beside you all along.

I am SO HAPPY to let you all know that I NEVER LEFT GOTHAM, HAHAHA. As Babs said at dinner tonight, "Come for the horny, stay for the heart!' ♥️🚨♥️🚨♥️🐈‍⬛️🌿♦️🐦‍⬛ February 2026!

Myself, @joe_jaro on art, Walter Baiamonte on colors, @jimcampbell on letters, @whoisrico on our beautiful logo. @peachchild311 on edits, taking over from the incredible @jonmoisan.

Variants by so many artists we can't wait to share, this one (slide 5) by the great Dylan Burnett.

SISTER MARIAN HERETIC hunts witches every night in the Sacred City of Vespers, a dark bargain made with the church to protect the sisters of her rogue and heretical order.

One night, the witches make a bargain of their own.

We are so excited to take you with us on this witch's road of nunsploitation, violence, blasphemy, sacrifice, and the power of women in numbers.

Thank you @boom_studios - join the Order with us. 🕊
