Our Best Jackett

Hey guys, it's Scott. It is Friday, March 3rd, and I'm back from vacation. Thank you for being patient with me, I took my 16 year-old son Jack to Colorado and we went skiing, just the two of us. And things have been really stressful to be totally honest up to now with his school, and he had to practice SATs stuff, and just a lot, a lot of work on him. And to be able to get away and connect outside...

Hey guys, it’s Scott. It is Saturday, February 25th. Jack, our 16 year old, is taking the PSAT in his room, which is just totally shitty and I feel terrible for him. And then our 11 year old is at a sleepover at his close friend's house and Quinn is happily looking out the window at the snow. I am taking Jack on a quick father/son trip to Colorado tomorrow, we're gonna go skiing for a few days. He...

Hey guys, it's Scott. Forgive me, I am walking outside so I'm using Airpods, so the sound might be a little bit off for this one. But it is Tuesday. I don't know the date, that's how crazy it is over here. But I was going to answer to your questions, Ty sent over a couple good ones. But first, there's a bit of housekeeping. Canary #5 , the penultimate issue of the series, is out today from Comixol...

Hey guys, it's Scott. It is Friday, February 17, although this will probably go up on Saturday, February 18, because I wasn't able to record it earlier in the day. Apologies, Tyler (great assistant). But a couple quick housekeeping things before I get into the meat of this, but Monday (if you're on social media, you've probably seen us obnoxiously going on and on, but we really care about this one...

Hey guys, it's Scott. It is Tuesday, February 14th. Happy Valentine's Day! I hope you're having a great day, whether you're celebrating with somebody or by yourself, but I hope you're absolutely going out there and celebrating your love of comics, the biggest love affair of your life, in some way. In all seriousness, I do hope you have a great day. I'm sending love from my family to yours. So this...

Hey guys, it's Scott. It is Wednesday, February 8th. And I normally do these posts on Tuesday and answer two of your questions, which I will do at the end of this, but I wanted to wait a day because I got word yesterday that they were finally going to announce big news, some of the biggest news in my career—that in December, Wytches was greenlit by Amazon Studios and Plan B for their adult animati...

Hey guys, it's Scott. It is Friday, February 3rd. I can't believe it, it's my oldest kid's birthday. Jack turns 16 today, so I'm sort of losing my mind. But a tiny bit of housekeeping before I jump into today's post. So this coming Monday, February 6th, is the final day to order Clear #1 . Again, it's a creator-owned book from me and Francis Manapul. It's a sci fi noir and it comes out from Dark H...

Hey guys, it's Scott. It is Tuesday, January 31st. How did January already pass us by? I have no idea. Quick bit of housekeeping before we get to Two Question Tuesday. This coming Monday, January 6th, is the FOC (Final Order Cutoff) for Clear #1 . This is a creator-owned book that I did with good friend and artist extraordinaire Francis Manapul. It's a sci-fi noir mystery that imagines a future wh...

Hey guys, it's Scott. It is Tuesday, January 17, and I want to thank you, first of all, for all of the really kind birthday wishes and notes and everything. I really, really appreciate it, I had a really good time. I went into the city with Jeanie and we went out to a nice dinner, which we never get to do. And then we saw a show called A Strange Loop right before it closed. It won the Tony for Bes...

Hey guys, it's Scott. It is Tuesday, January 3rd. Huge Happy New Year to all of you! I hope you had a great one, happy and healthy, and you were surrounded by people that you love. Over here, we had a good one. A great one, really. We went over to our neighbor's house for a small New Year's Eve party and at about 9:30 I took Quinny home and my mother-in-law was going to watch him once I got him to...

Hey guys, it’s Scott. And it is Tuesday, December 27th. We are completely Christmas cookie’d out at our house. It was a tremendous amount of fun with the boys, even when it was a lot. When you have three kids, by the third kid, you know don't get any toys for the little guy that makes noise . But he got a karaoke microphone and he got a little keyboard and all kinds of stuff that amplifies the sou...

Hey guys, it's Scott. It is December 24th. It is Christmas Eve and I am on my way to the all-night pharmacy to get antibiotics for Quinny, who suddenly developed an ear infection in the middle of Target while we were getting last minute things, but he's okay. And then I'm picking dinner up and then I'm going home. And I spent the morning watching Cheers , which is my favorite show of all time. I u...

Hey guys, it's Scott. It is Tuesday, December 20th, I can't believe it's so close to Christmas! Happy Hanukkah to everybody that celebrates. I am back from Florida as of just a couple hours ago. I am jetlagged. I flew down on Sunday night basically on a redline. I got in after midnight and went to CGC headquarters, which is a sight to behold, in Tampa, FL. I met up with brother Greg Capullo and To...

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bestjackettpress.substack.com Hey guys, it's Scott. It's Tuesday, December 6 and I'm back from California. First, I just wanted to say thank you so much to everybody across the whole Golden State that was so kind to me and my 11 year-old son, Emmett, on this short but amazing trip out there. I haven't taken him on a trip like this befor...

Hey guys, it's Scott. It's Tuesday, November 29th, and I just wanted to make a quick post. I'm going to be doing this more often now where instead of just posting once a week, with half the posts free and half the post paid, we're going to try and throw up more stuff for you on the site. We're going to do this thing, just trying it out, but a post on Tuesdays where I’m gonna answer two of your que...

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bestjackettpress.substack.com Hey guys, it’s Scott. It's the Friday after Thanksgiving. And I just wanted to do a quick post to give you an update on upcoming things and how I want to reframe using this site, given everything that's been going on at Twitter and just general priorities. So the big headline is, I'm going to be using this...

Hey guys, it's Scott. It is Friday, November 18, and I apologize for the quality of this one. We had a flood in our house, which I'll talk about in a second, and my microphone got destroyed, so I'm trying something different this time. But I thought I'd use this post as kind of a catch up, I intended to do an interview or two with some of my creator friends at Thought Bubble last weekend, But Tyle...

Hey guys, it's Scott. It is Tuesday, November 8, and before anything comic-related, I just want to urge you to go out and VOTE today. Vote your conscience, vote your heart, vote like democracy depends on it. But above all, just go out and vote . Exercise your right! So, really quick, this isn't an official newsletter, it's going to be very, very short because we're going to do a real one over the...

Hey guys, it’s Scott. I hope you all enjoyed our first Comic Writing 102 session! It was so great seeing all of you respond so well to the more in-depth breakdown and analysis we got to do, and I hope I clarified everything in the Q&A section! Getting to look back on one of my first stories through a critical lens was great experience, and one I hope you get to experience yourself during this seme...

Hey guys, it's Scott. It is Halloween. It is Monday, October 31st. And I'm sorry I didn't do a post on Friday, but like I told you, we came back from Disney with the wheels off on this one with a couple of us sick and all kinds of stuff due for the kids, and so it was a bit of a mess. And getting ready for Halloween was equally messy. We were that family that was in Spirit of Halloween at, like, 7...

Hey guys, it’s Scott. It's Tuesday, October 25th and I'm just back from Florida (late last night at 2:00 in the morning), so I am jet lagged yet again. But the trip was worth it, we went down there for family reasons and to visit Jack (our 15 year-old)’s best friend growing up, whose family moved down there when the boys were about eight/nine years old and they've stayed in touch and stayed very c...

Hey guys, it's Scott. And I just wanted to make a short post to let you know about something that I think is just amazing . My buddy, and I think the best writer on the stands right now, James Tynion IV , has teamed up with Elsa Charretier and PK Colinet to make a short live-action horror film on Kickstarter . It's called Room Service . It's going to be unbelievable. He told me about it a long tim...

Hey guys, it's Scott. It is Wednesday, September 27, and as you can probably tell from my voice, I got back very late last night from Memphis Comic Expo after a couple canceled flights, but it was completely worth it. I had a blast. I'll talk a little bit more about it in a minute, but first I just wanted to mention a couple exciting things we have going on at Best Jackett right now. Yesterday on...

It is Friday, September 9th, if we can get this post in today. And I'm really sorry for the delay between the last post and this one, it's just that we've been getting our boys b...
