COMICS & GRAPHIC NOVELS

As the Senior Director of Editorial at Archie Comics, I oversee the production of all comic books targeted towards YA, teen, and mature audiences. Under my editorial lead, Archie has published back-to-back sold-out comics at the direct market level, and I have helped usher the company into a new era with groundbreaking stories spanning horror, sci-fi, thriller, young adult, and action-adventure genres. Below is just a small sample of the titles published under my editorial direction at Archie Comics.

I have also written a number of series and stories for the historic publisher, including Betty & Veronica: The Bond of Friendship, Archie’s first-ever original graphic novel, Betty & Veronica: Vixens and Betty & Veronica: Senior Year, two comic book mini-series, and numerous short form 5-6 page stories in various Archie Comics collections.

MUSIC REVIEWS

My first work for Razorcake was writing live music reviews for punk shows I attended, which combined reviews of the events themselves along with my own personal experiences.

Thee Oh Sees, King Khan and the Shrines and World/Inferno Friendship Society

Sticks and Stones at Union Hall, Brooklyn, NY

Razorcake also republished a series of interviews as e-books. I provided a few updated intros detailing what the bands/musicians have been up to since the interviews ran.
