Still processing the passing of my friend & artist John Paul Leon. We first met at Milestone, where Dwayne McDuffie suggested we partner on "Static" leading to a years long collaboration. Beyond his incredible talent, John was a good person. He will continue to inspire me. ❤

Fyi, the storyline of "Red Hood: The Hill" is not all about gentrification. In between "Batman: The Hill" (1999) & "Red Hood: The Hill" (2024), the Gotham neighborhood of The Hill has changed due to gentrification but it's not the main conflict. #redhood @DCOfficial
