Sketch for the first Deathwish cover. No story yet just vibes
Check out that logo.
First version of Frank. Before we turned him into a small purple guy, he was a small green guy.
2017
The whole crew, plus a fallen angel.
Severely affected by reading The Umbrella Academy and viewing Gabriel Ba art.
Dynamic duo.
Another cover made before the comic had a story; another instance of Umbrella Academy influence.
A while ago we were gonna build a proper team for this thing, and we had an online friend write us a sample script. Neither the script nor the art we started for it got finished.
Developing some LORE… the auctor vitae has since become a flashlight.
2018
Unused poster idea featuring Ross the fallen angel intern.
Some guys
A PAINTING!!!! Look at that.
Yet another cover idea.
Figuring out the properties of various planes of the multiverse in cyberspace.
ANOTHER COVER IDEA. For issue two.
One of many attempts to ink the comic traditionally. Still a vastly different opening from what we went with.
Characters hanging out at PHANTASM COMICS, who have been totally awesome to us and sell Deathwish whenever we bring new issues. Visit the shop in New Hope, PA!!
At one point the story was going to start with a car crash.
2019
The fallen angels.
Thinking about how to draw portals for issue 2. NOT what we went with.
2020
Having a chat at the record exchange. In a world where nothing supernatural happens in Deathwish, everyone would always be hanging out here, and Gerard would help out by doing things like “sitting behind the counter” and “reading magazines.”
2021
Lineup!
Frank at home before he got half-dead.
Drawing some guys, gearing up for issue 5 after working on a lot of other projects between issues. As it would turn out, we'd end up working on a lot more projects after this, too!
2022
Auctor moment.
What if Frank's sword was big...
2023
Mikey Way's cinematic masterpiece in the making.
