Also debuting today is my article for Den of Geek's SDCC 2025 special, Avatar: How Friendship Forged the Sound and Music of The Last Airbender. It was a great honor to interview the creators and composers behind this incredible show.

I was honored to have so many fantastic friends come out for our Secret Headquarters book launch party for Godzilla: Monster Island Summer Camp. Rosie Knight, Oliver Ono, Jodie Troutman, and I celebrated our new graphic novel with the legend Godzilla and tons of other cool people.

We also had the opportunity to exhibit at OC Zine Fest, which was a terrific experience. Anaheim really showed up and showed out for the event, and we look forward to being back there again in the future.
