Poker Night at the Justice League
What happens when comics nerds grow up? We should all wish they turn into Tod.

All that, and a cat with a predilection for the roof of his Tercel.

Freshwater Dredge
The first section (of what turned out to be three sections itself) in Adam’s epic cycle about the evolving role of history, land identity, and erasure in his hometown. As of early 2013, the book is being released serially at dredgecycle.com.
