Come Get a BLACK EYE

A new comic feature for Black Market Narrative

Hey folks!

I’m back with some exciting news about my next comic for 2026, coming to you in a brand new way!

Welcome to the wild and weird world of BLACK EYE.

What IS Black Eye? Well, I’m not going to spill all the beans just yet, but it’s a brand new project I’m working on with Nir Levie, the mindbending, Inkwell Award-winning artist behind Age of Canaan, and letterer extrodinaire, Buddy Beaudoin.

We’ve got big plans for it that are still in development, but we’re proud to announce the first short will be featured as part of BLACK MARKET PRESENTS, a new feature running in Kyle Higgins’ newsletter, Black Market Narrative!

If you know Kyle, you know about his hit series, RADIANT BLACK, and the series of interconnected books like ROGUE SUN, INFERNO GIRL RED, and more that make up the MASSIVE-VERSE.

I met up with Kyle last year at SDCC, and one of the things that came up in discussion was how different the landscape was for creators these days, and how hard it was to build a following in an age where social media is so fragmented, and the direct market is dominated by Marvel and DC. Which leads to why building a newsletter like this one is a big help.

Kyle has over 7000 subscribers, and he wants to use that platform to boost other creators, because he’s an awesome guy, and wants to see his success benefit other folks in the game, like yours truly. So he had the idea to run short, webtoon-scroll style comics as a feature in that newsletter, and wanted my involvement.

Seperately, Nir had reached out to me as a fan of my work, and wanted to do something together - so it seemed like a perfect opportunity - and what we came up with was BLACK EYE - a sprawling, psychedelic odyssey blending mythology, philosophy, metaphysics, and mind-bending horror.

What you’re going to see in Black Market Narrative is a single tale, but we have many more we want to tell, and the more support we can show, the more chance we’ll have to tell this story to everyone - so I encourage you to check out Black Market Narrative,
and add your voice to the people excited about BLACK EYE (and all that great Massive-verse stuff too).

Until next time, thanks as always for your support, and be back soon with more news! Hit me up with any questions in the comments and I’ll do my best to answer!
