He is likely best known as the longest tenured writer and occasional artist for Oni Press RICK AND MORTY comic and the hit series PEACEMAKER TRIES HARD for DC Comics. He was nominated for Eisners for SEXCASTLE, ROCK CANDY MOUNTAIN and I HATE THIS PLACE for best humor publication. About "Karate Prom": Don "TheDragonWilson" Jones is the finest fighter Benjamin Harrison High School has ever produced. But when he enters the ring against Lincoln High's Sam Steadman, it's love at first knockout. Unfortunately, Sam has a jerky ex-boyfriend...and Don has a seriously terrifying ex-girlfriend. Like, "global crime cartel" terrifying. From prom to the after-party to graduation, Don and Sam--and an increasingly eclectic cast of supporting oddballs--will have to fight their way through a gauntlet of opponents, all in the name of love (and punching). Did we mention the punching? Fast-paced, madcap, and completely free of any kind of redeeming or morally thoughtful content, KARATE PROM is a loving homage to teen comedies of the '80s as well as badly dubbed kung-fu films.
