I’m on the Alter Ego Comic-Cast
Because you can’t get enough of my weird accent, here’s me and the lads living it up. I apologize to X-fans for tarring them with a hot, tar-filled brush.

Alex Toth DoodleBook STILL IN PRINT
So lately I’ve been alerted to the fact that people are eBaying DEAR JOHN: THE ALEX TOTH DOODLEBOOK by Octopus Press (which is me) for crazy sums, when in fact the book is not out of print. I recently tried to Offer Again that and THE INTERMAN through Diamond, but based on the last time [...]

T-Minus
Newsarama has an interview up today with Jim Ottaviani talking about his upcoming book with (brothers) Zander Cannon and Kevin Cannon T-MINUS. It’s about the race to the moon, which I never tire of reading, and Jim has a good hopeful point about the dire things we face today (world economy) and how the space [...]

Happy V Day
I think an excellent date idea this weekend would be to take your Significant One to see Coraline, maybe even in 3D. That’s what I hope to do. Of course, I’m also rooting for the film’s success to bolster Portland as a haven where animators can do their thing- here’s a recent Willamette Week article [...]

Robot Love
Today I’m the guest blogger over at Robot 6, and my theme for their Love Week is “I Heart Learning From Comics.” If you have a moment to read it, I’ll bet some instances where you actually gleaned something real from comic books will occur to you. So share some of them there, if you [...]

X-Position
Over at Comic Book Resources, I do an X-Position talking a bit about X-MEN FIRST CLASS FINALS and EXILES. Plus a little bit of AGENTS OF ATLAS. And there’s some art to see. This will stall you until I remember how the New York Convention ended.

AGENTS OF ATLAS 1 BACK TO PRESS

Saturday at NYCC
Like I can remember anything. And how am I supposed to talk on panels today with no voice, answer me that Mr. Green Lantern. Yesterday is a blur of signings and quick interviews, notably with Word Balloon’s John Siuntres, that one should be popping up on Newsarama soon. I feel I made some hay at [...]

It’s Signing Time.
I better get down to the Javits Center- why am I still here? Yesterday at the Darklate Reeiiggn panel we announced THE HOOD miniseries I’m doing with Kyle Hotz. Hung out with Dave Johnson, who I don’t see much anymore since I don’t live in Los Angeles. And other things happened, that I can remember [...]

I’m Going In.
Okay, I’m finally finishing this script and now I can head over to the show. It sounds jam packed, which really just makes me think “hey, what’s going on over at the Natural History Museum?” But I guess I better dive in and experience it. I would post some of the good Atlas reviews I’ve [...]

I Am On The East Coast.
You know, it’s cold in New York, but not so much that all furnaces have to be roaring out of control inside. Today I’ll be working on stories at the Marvel offices, just like I imagined people did when I was a kid, before I found out everyone worked from home. It makes it very [...]

ATLAS DAY: Report to Your Local Comics Shop
It figures that on a day I have three books coming out that I would be up in the air for hours instead of standing in a comics shop helpfully guiding people to one of my comics. Just as well, one of those books is the first issue of X-Men First Class: FINALS, and I [...]

24 Hours and Counting…
Tomorrow the Marvel Universe gets a little more variety when the big fat first issue of AGENTS OF ATLAS explodes into comics shops. You can hear me express that poorly on the Marvel Hotline right now. I like the way they set it up so it sounds like I’m calling some emergency phone bank and [...]

This is it, launch week for the AGENTS OF ATLAS ongoing series! They’re even talking about it in Colorado Springs. And I barely have any time to reflect on it all because I have to get ready for New York Comicon where I hope to be signing large stacks of the book. One thing I’m [...]

Mysterius Launch Party Slideshow
Nick Dragotta (L) keeping me and Tom Fowler enthralled with some anecdote of a harrowing adventure, I think. We’re fascinated, whatever it was. James Sime has put up pictures from the ISOTOPE Mysterius party last week, an excellent time marked by excellence. Kirsten Baldock created two dry ice drinks so we could all imbibe like [...]
