July 4th, 2023
It’s the fourth day in July, which can only mean one thing: it’s Brushfire Day!
My 11th book, Brushfire: Wave 2, is officially out now!
There are several ways you can read it:
1. The best way: I have BOTH Waves, RIGHT NOW, available on my website to read FOR FREE. No kidding! Just type in my name, Dennis Vogen, add dot com, and read over 140 pages of comic book on the house.
2. You can buy Brushfire on Amazon in several formats: for your digital device, and in deluxe, oversized paperback or hardcover. I have hardcovers of both The Weirdos and Brushfire, and they are probably my favorite editions of my work that I own. They are beyond cool.
3. The official paperback graphic novels are currently in production and will be shipped to you as soon as I get them! So, if you’re a Kickstarter backer, make sure you’ve shared your address with me, and then just sit back with a cool glass of lemonade and wait for your copy to arrive later this month. And if you can’t wait: go read this thing for free immediately using option 1!
Y’all are thanked in the book itself, but I want to thank you here as well.

Bay and I are playing video games today because we put a lot into this one. A lot of work, yes, but we both poured our complete heart and souls into it, got really vulnerable, and now we have that feeling you get after you’ve been crying for a while and just feel stupid about it.
But we don’t feel stupid about the story we told.
We hope you like it.
Happy Brushfire Day.
