@jpalmiotti Tells a whole story! Love it.

So I can limit the amount of people asking me here and everywhere else...
I’ve co-written over 100 issues of Jonah Hex for DC Comics with Justin Gray, including a graphic novel created with Jonah’s co-creator, Tony DeZuniga. I also wrote THE HUNTERS for PaperFilms—a western centered on a retired sharpshooter and bounty hunter—and I’m currently writing DEADLY TALES OF THE GUNSLINGER, a monthly ONGOING western from Image Comics and Todd McFarlane.
It’s the strongest work of my career.
To answer the question out there at the moment, neither DC or Scott Snyder has approached Justin or me about writing the new Jonah Hex series. I’m sure they’ll announce the creative team soon. Hang in there. I'm sure they will pick someone great.
In the meantime, if you enjoyed my work on westerns, the next issue of my monthly series hits shelves in two weeks, with a trade paperback collecting the first six issues of DEADLY TALES OF THE GUNSLINGER arriving a month after that.

@jpalmiotti 90% and higher are bots on all social media platforms designed to make you react a specific way.

@elonmusk @grok I had to argue with it over a Ryobi leaf blower telling me it the backpack only had 2 slots after I told it 4 times it had 3 and sent it pictures. It still argued with me until I said it was pissing me off. Then I gave my zip code and it gave the wrong city\state. It's bad today

I've been screaming about this forever. I say that at least 90% of your followers are fake on all platforms.

So much of the interaction online is fake, and we have no idea how it’s affecting our brains…or civilization at large…

@txsalth2o Just had a couple family members we had this happen to. One never had dementia but went into cardiac arrest and had anoxic brain injury and has memory issues. The other seemed like they were keeping it together. Don't wait until 70!

You can still pre-order issue 1 and 2 right now.

So, a bit about this series. This story unfolds during the MARVEL KNIGHTS era and serves as a gritty companion piece to Welcome Back, Frank...the iconic Punisher run by Garth Ennis, Steve Dillon, and myself. It picks up in the aftermath of that unforgettable showdown between Punisher and Daredevil, where Frank forces Matt into a brutal moral corner. From there, the narrative dives deep into the chaos that follows the fall of Ma Gnucci, as her empire crumbles and her men are picked off one by one.

With the Gnucci family out of the picture, we are introduced to a new breed of criminals that rises to claim the city, and both Daredevil and Punisher respond in drastically different ways.
This isn’t just a turf war; it’s a study in contrasts. Two men, two philosophies, one battleground. Think HEAT, but with capes and scars.

The story weaves through the events of Welcome Back, Frank, offering a parallel lens on how these characters confront a city in flux. It’s about ownership, vengeance, justice—and the cost of each. Bottom line, two strong men, one city ... no peace.

I hope you guys give it a shot.

@jpalmiotti This goes back to Roman times. That's why they had the coliseum. Focus on this fighting and hate these people, not the ones running the show. Nothing has changed, the game is the same. The tactics are more advanced.

A little about my brain and a bit of pep talk:
I spent two years developing a project-wrote the script, nurtured the vision, and even had a lead actor interested in starring. But they insisted the script be rewritten by a woman, so the producers paid someone else to do just that. Over the next year, the script was reshaped, reworked, and ultimately diluted. No one was satisfied, though I saw flashes of brilliance in the rewrite. Eventually, I was asked to do a final pass myself. I did. Then I waited six weeks, only to be told they’d decided to pursue a different film altogether.
Two years. Not a dime.
Years ago, I had lunch with Shane Black, who told me he loved my comics and encouraged me to write screenplays. I’ll always be grateful for that. I did write a few—with a close friend—and every time there was interest, someone wanted to hand our script off to another writer. And it was always the same story: the son of someone powerful, a friend of a friend, or someone’s first screenplay. Each time, it fizzled.
I have about forty stories like this.
People often ask why I don’t work in film or television more. The truth is—I have. I love the medium. But comics give me something those industries rarely do: freedom. I don’t have to worry about budgets, studio notes, or fitting into someone else’s vision of who I should be or what I should create. In comics, I can tell the stories I want to tell, the way I want to tell them.
Some say I should stick to one character and build a brand around it. And I do revisit characters. But I have so many stories, so many voices in my head that deserve the page. So I write them. I release them. I hope they find their audience. And then I move on—whether the reception is warm or cold.
It took me years to shed jealousy, to stop measuring my worth against others, and to focus on my own work. The world tries to convince us that success or failure defines who we are. But that’s a lie.
The only truth is the work.
And I keep showing up for it.

[Deadpoor @WadeTWilson1]

@jpalmiotti I know some writers say they have a vision of show or even an actor in mind when they are essentially storyboarding a comic and others write in a way that it could never be adapted. When you first started, did you see the comics or the screen as the goal?
