I’m honored to let y’all know that I have a new short comic in the latest issue of Anomaly (stylized ANMLY), an online journal of literature and the arts.

Here’s the first page of my comic, entitled “Sunk Mind”:

Sunk Mind by Will Cardini page 1, a black-and-white comic with two panels. Panel 1 caption: No thought thought in the history of the universe will ever be lost. Panel 1 image is a head breaking open with a wavy beam of light coming out. Panel 2 caption: Moving like liquid light, they exit the minds of a trillion trillion sentient beings... Panel 2 image is a wavy beam of light moving through space.

Abstract Test on the Abstract Comics Blog

Last year I was experimenting with an abstract comic. It was one panel per page and I started each page with a circle in the same spot.

Here’s the first page:

Abstract Test page 1

Mike Getsiv posted the first seven pages on the Abstract Comics blog last October. I’m not sure what I’ll do with it in the future but I might keep adding to it.

Here’s the cover for Part 4.

The first four pages are already up. Skew will update on Sundays.

Here’s a summary of where we’re at in the story: The hypermollusc has exploded. The fate of the Miizzzard is unknown. Bya the Space Yeti runs towards the burnt chunks of the hypermollusc with the remnant of the slime secretly hitching a ride.

This is the final part, except for an epilogue that I’m saving for a hypothetical print version. You can read the previous parts here.

Tales from the Hyperverse Debuts at SPX 2017

My new comic from Retrofit, Tales from the Hyperverse, debuts this weekend at the Small Press Expo near Washington, DC!

Unfortunately I won’t be there but if you can make it, SPX is a blast. I will be at the next show at which Retrofit is tabling, Cartoon Crossroads Columbus.

And if you can’t make it to either show and you missed out on the Kickstarter, you can preorder at the Retrofit site or wait until I get my copies and can offer signed copies on this site.
