Writing
Tobin's first major work was the comic Fringe for Caliber Comics in 1990.

His work often involves writing comics based on video games, including Plants vs. Zombies, The Witcher, and the Angry Birds comics. He also has written comics for Adventure Time and Prometheus.
In 2013, he published his debut novel Prepare To Die!, detailing a retired superhero known as Reaver returning to his hometown to reconnect with his ex-girlfriend and her sister following the death of his crime-fighting partner Paragon and a death-threat his nemesis Octagon intends to follow up on in two weeks.
