I am so excited for folks to hear this episode. Matthew has been in comics for quite some time and has now made a second act (I think in the episode he says a 3rd act) to his career as an artist and writer of YA, Middle Grade, and Kids graphic novels. Matthew and I talk about the upcoming The October Girl from Maverick (out October 21st) that has been in Matthew's head since college. This graphic novel, which had an earlier life back in 2012, has been a long time coming. And let me tell you, it's fantastic, with a grounded main character in Autumn and her not so imaginary friend, Barnaby. Matthew and I talk about the story and its history. He also shares how he broke into comics and how the pandemic caused him to work more on his own stuff like Amelia Shadows, Johnny Chaos, and Arch Nemesis. Plus we chat about some of his favorite DC characters like Blue Devil. I loved chatting with Matthew and I think you're gonna love this episode. Pre-order The October Girl From the Publisher: Autumn Ackerman grew up believing in fairies and magic and princesses who defeated dragons, but now that she’s eighteen and facing a future stuck behind the counter of her small town’s coffee shop, she’s starting to wonder if this is all there really is to her life. But then she meets her childhood imaginary friend, Barnaby, in the alley behind the coffee shop one night. Autumn’s entire world is turned upside down. Drawn into the strange and mysterious world of the Night Folk, fantastic creatures that inspired all of humanity’s myths about gods and monsters, Autumn is about to discover that there is more to her world than she ever dreamed of as a little girl, and that world is far more dangerous than she could ever have imagined. With the help of Barnaby and Evan Fade, the tragic young boy who inherited the local bookstore, Autumn has to protect herself from the coldly terrifying Mr. Balloon long enough to discover the truth about the Night Folk and her own past.
