"I have signed a 5-book deal with Harper Collins' Harper Alley imprint as part of their inaugural line of original graphic novels for adults! The first 3 books of this new deal will be the supernatural detective series, MR. OBLIVION with artist Teddy Kristiansen. Mr Oblivion follows Marty McCabe, who was once the world's greatest occult detective, Mr Oblivion, but now, twenty years later, sells real estate in the suburbs and struggles with middle age, marriage, and a teenage daughter. But, when the demons of his past return (literally), Marty must once again put on the fabled Merlin Mask to save his family, even if it eats his soul alive. Mr Oblivion will be three 200+ page original graphic novels written by me and illustrated by Teddy Kristiansen. The first volume, Incantations, will be published in the Summer of 2027."

"The other two books in my Harper deal will each be stand-alone graphic novels, one will be illustrated by Charlie Adlard (The Walking Dead) and the fifth book will be…well, let's keep that one a surprise for later :) More details about Mr. Oblivion and my Harper Collins deal to come!" And if you sign up to Jeff Lemire's Substack, you'll be able to read them about fourteen minutes before it pops up on Bleeding Cool…
