Matthew Rosenberg Launches Substack Comics With Juan Ferreyra & More

Both Matthew Rosenberg and Joshua Williamson are launching new comic book subscriptions on Substack, as part of the Substack Pro comic book programme initially set up a year ago by Nick Spencer. And, yes, there are more to come. Substack is a newsletter subscription publishing programme initially focused on journalists but for the last year including a brace of comic book creators offering attractive deals to publish their comics first on Substack.

Matthew Rosenberg will be kinda-relaunching his own publishing company but not really, under his Ashcan Press banner, and publishing a mix of his own work through Substack, such as 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank and What's the Furthest Place From Here, as well as new work with artists Juan Ferreyra, Stefano Landini, Andy MacDonald,, Tyler Boss, Josh Hixson, Javier Rodriguez, colourists Jordie Bellaire and Lauren Affe, letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, editor Rachel Pinnelas and more, and we have a gallery and video to share.

On his Substack newsletter, Rosenberg writes "Over the next few years this here newsletter is going to be the birthplace for at least 6 brand new comic projects, among other fun things. But we aren't going to tell you much about them just yet. We want this newsletter to serve the books and not the other way around. So each project will have its own spotlight and not be shoved out in front of you before it's ready. This whole thing isn't just some play to try and sell you comics. We think what we're making is special and how we're making it is part of that. We're want to give you access to the creation process (if you want it) so you can be part of that journey as we build these books. So for now, each of the 6 brilliant illustrators has created a little teaser for their title to give you a sense of where we're going. But really, we're asking you to trust us."
