I’m honored and excited to have made this book with some of the most amazing talents in comics. First off, my brother, Matthew Rosenberg, a superstar in the comics world, the funniest person I know, and a brilliant storyteller. You may have read his books We Can Never Go Home, What’s The Furthest Place From Here?, We’re Taking Everyone Down With Us, 4 Kids Walk Into A Bank (about to be a major motion picture), or know his work on X-Men, Spider-Man, Batman, Joker and many other Marvel & DC titles. Follow his publications on Substack or Instagram.

The supremely talented artist Andy MacDonald has brought our wild story to life—no mean feat, considering how many weird non-living beings we’ve scripted. Andy has astonished us with images that are more compelling, humorous, dramatic, more emotional than we could’ve dreamed. It’s a delight seeing the story in his hands. Check out his work on IG, too.

Francesco Segala has added the dazzling colors; his creative use of offsets and shimmering reflections has made me gasp with the way the images vibrate and shine. And Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou has hewn the lettering; I repeatedly laugh out loud at his cleverness.

Check out a preview and some behind-the-scenes thoughts at IGN.

Together I think we’ve crafted an expansive yet intimate story, one that is unique and strange but universally touching. And funny! I’d really love for you to experience it. Please order a copy today.
