I’ve got to get on top of things. Dana Moreshead done told me there’s a nice Agents preview up at CBR today, complete with a classic Nate Cosby Recap Page. Go read, and decide to buy! Out Next Week.

Here’s what I think is my schedule for next weekend’s big show at the Javitz Center in New York. FRIDAY Dark Reign Panel (Panel Room 7 – 1A24) – 4:45 pm to 5:45 pm SATURDAY 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm- Signing @ The Marvel Booth (Booth #1141) 1:30-2:30pm: PANEL – WildStorm: After World’s End (Room [...]

I borrowed the book RATS: Observations on the History and Habitat of the City’s Most Unwanted Inhabitants from my friend Terri a while back, mainly because of this excellent Peter Sis cover. The cover suggests a lot at once, and it looked like it would be a fascinating read. It’s not, really. There are some [...]

Scott Kurtz linked to this brief CNN interview with Dick Van Dyke in honor of the 45th anniversary of the Disney version of Mary Poppins. I’ve always been a big fan of DVD’s, and the Sherman Brothers score for the movie is in constant rotation in our house, especially if my son has anything to [...]

So MYSTERIUS THE UNFATHOMABLE #1 has made the rounds, and we’re getting excellent reviews for issue 1, like this and this. Here. And here. And also here. Not to mention here or here or here. Oop, almost forgot about here and here and here. And that’s not counting podcasts. Thank you, early adopters! Yet, in [...]

-waiting for my delayed flight to San Francisco. Luckily the Isotope MYSTERIUS party isn’t until tonight, but I’d hoped to stop by the Comics Art Museum and then set up at the shop to get some work done. Maybe I’ll get some done on the plane if the person in front of me doesn’t lean [...]

But I warn you, do not laugh at him… And don’t underestimate Delfi, either. But DO go straight out and get this book and tell the world what you’ve found. And if you wish to compare notes with other readers at some point, may I suggest The Mysterium? Just because I’m not sure where on [...]

Rock on, Mr. President. I’m feeling pretty good today- not as much as that nitrous oxide feeling I had all day after Obama won the election, nothing can match that, but still very good. Luckily even after straining his back, Dick Cheney was able to make it in his new wheelchair. I have more praise [...]

Actually, Tom just misdirects, like a proper magician should. But you’ll enjoy this interview about our new Wildstorm book over at Forces of Geek, which is really shaping up to be quite a destination. MYSTERIUS THE UNFATHOMABLE IN STORES THIS WEDNESDAY!!!

Not in the Spider-Man storyline sense, but as in one more day until the Ring of Sauron is tossed into the lava so the U.S. can start being a democracy again. Happy MLK day indeed! I wish for today I had recorded my five year old’s fuzzy interpretation of who King was as she tried [...]

I’ve always loved “Master Bedroom.”* Thanks Andrew Wyeth for a lifetime of excellence. Here’s a brief overview of the artist from the NY Times. Though that wastes some space on debates whether he was a Sentimentalist (if I ever hear someone compare him to the Painter of Light, someone’s going in the Hudson River). James [...]

At Newsarama! Out next week! And if you’re logged in at the ‘rama, do us a solid and click “Recommend”!

US Airways Flight 1549 going down in the Hudson River reminds me, I never talked about the book Outliers I was reading. The connection there is that Outliers has a chapter on piloting dealing with the kind of flying opposite that of Pilot of the Century Chesley Sullenburger, who I predict will be getting a [...]

Continuing my in-depth look at the appointments of the incoming Obama administration here in the States, today we should focus on the man who was just grilled for the position of Attorney General, Eric Holder. I think Holder is a perfect pick to get the Justice Department back on track. Yes, he has an excellent [...]

Over at Newsarama, Editor Mark Paniccia schools those people seeing the Agents of Atlas previews and wondering “whazzis?” I probably should do a little spiel on the logo I designed for the new series, hopefully tomorrow if I have a bit of time. And then you’ll have actual ‘content’ instead of signing and promotional info.

Seriously, if you’re in the Bay area on the 23rd- now we’re both there. It is going to be A TIME.

Look how happy Norman Osborn is to find out he’s in the first Agents of Atlas issue! Over at CBR Dave Richards talked to me about some of the particulars in this unholy alliance, which begins in mere weeks now…

I am honored to be listed as one of Stefan Blitz’ 13 Geeks To Watch in 09 over at the successor to Forces of Good, Forces of Geek. Extra good going finding an especially geeky picture of me (like it’s that hard to do, of course). I pledge to uphold the trust that has been [...]

Link Week continues! Did you know my oft-collaborator Colleen Coover has an active blog site now? Well she does at last, and it’s what you need. So there’s guaranteed fun. Also other women in Periscope studio are getting podcast-happy; Cat Ellis and Susan Tardif just appeared on The Erika Moen Show with Dar cartoonist Erika, [...]

Hey, Bay-area Californians, I’m going to be at Isotope: The Comics Lounge on the 23rd signing fresh new copies of MYSTERIUS THE UNFATHOMABLE! So spread the word, crowd that store. And keep fingers crossed, because there may be another special guest who has a good reason for being there- more news as soon as he [...]

I won’t snag his worthy image when I could send traffic, but fellow Periscoper Rich Ellis did a neat AGENTS OF ATLAS piece over at his sketch blog. Rich is someone you’ll be noticing a lot more in the next few years, so you might as well go notice him now while he’s all humble [...]

Over at The Beat today, Heidi is offering lots of mad prognostication from comics industry people, including me. Vito Delsante and I both fancy ourselves gyropilots in a Mad Max post-Apocalypse. And over at his new blog ( well, I just found out about it the other day when The Comics Reporter linked to it, [...]

To close out those thoughts on book buying the other day (like I’m never going to mention “books” again), yesterday I thought a quick trip to the book store would be a good way to kick off 2009. I picked up Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell and have already burned through half of it; it has [...]

I’ll be your host for this year, so rest up and prepare to enjoy 365 days of good times. I’ve got a lot of projects lined up and actually happening after many stall-outs in the past two years, so I’m very positive about 09. Also I have many progressive ideas to implement should President Obama [...]
