    It’s a Jeff Parker/ Marvel Triple Action.

    You can get THREE books today from me- you get your Exiles 3, your Agents of Atlas 6, and the collected Age of the Sentry- all just by walking into a comics shop! That’s fat readin’.

    Sentry Dies Tomorrow!

    At least in the book I wrote. Here’s a neat print that Nick Dragotta had for WonderCon last weekend…

    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.

    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 [...]

    Hangin’ In The Airport…

    -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 [...]

    The Value of Comics

    I just read Tom Spurgeon’s excellent and positive piece on the state of comics (yes, I said Spurgeon). It’s a response to Steven Grant’s recent column which managed to hit a lot of nerves with the word dreary- agree with him or not, you must admit he has that good writer’s skill of choosing power [...]

    Miracleman Explains the Financial Crisis

    You know, people are looking everywhere to make sense of the global financial crisis- especially looking to that torch in the darkness-comics- and it occurs to me almost daily that the essentials of it all were explained best back in the 1980′s by Miracleman. From Miracleman #16, Eclipse Comics, Alan Moore and John Totleben.

    The Gol-Dang Sentry

    If there’s anything that says comics more than Nick Dragotta drawing hillbillies night-fishin’, I don’t want to know about it. CBR has a preview of next week’s Age of the Sentry #3, also with some sweet Colleen Coover pages for Paul Tobin’s story featuring MILLIE THE MODEL and MANOO. In this economic downturn, some things [...]

    The Blog Lab

    Jim Ottaviani, esteemed publisher of science comics as GT-Labs (and now writer for other publishers such as TOR), is finally wading into the webloggy waters with his new blog that appears to have no proper name. Go see how like other new bloggers he’s horribly self-conscious about starting one, even though it’s practically expected of [...]

    Meet MYSTERIUS the UNFATHOMABLE…

    At NEWSARAMA today, Zack Smith and I talk about MYSTERIUS THE UNFATHOMABLE so you can start to figure out what this odd book is about. Looking through the article, you might find a link to another site that will be shedding some light on the series, acting as a companion to it. But mainly, look [...]

    Monster Size Hulk Preview

    Just in time to get all Halloweeny, the Monster Size Hulk issue comes out this week. Go see that appropriately dark Gabriel Hardman art over at Marvel Noise.com.

    Hey, why can’t I get anyone from Virgin on the phone toda- Oh.

    You may have seen the news that Virgin Comics has folded up like a Transformer and driven away. The only interruption for me is that it kills a short Gamekeeper prequel I had written and Ron Randall and Ron Chan were working on, other than that I was done with all my Virgin work. I’d [...]

    SDCC 08: Done and Done

    I meant to blog a little more about those last two days, but didn’t get back around wifi the rest of the time. Yes, I know there was wifi in the Convention Center, but I couldn’t risk taking in my laptop, loaded as it is with secret plans for the Marvel Universe in 2009, you [...]

    Heroes Con, We Hardly Knew Ye

    Well dadburn! I thought my quick hotel ramble was lost to the ether, but Steven Gettis performed an autopsy on WordPress and fished it out. So here’s what I rambled… You know, there are no flights back to Portland from Charlotte until late in the day, so I’ve been cooling my heels in the Westin [...]

    Normalcy at 84 %…

    Racing across to the East Coast and back over the weekend left me a little loopy, but I’m ready to start blogging again. Free Comic Book Day at SuperVillains Inc. in Nottingham, Maryland was packed and busy all day, just like FCBD should be- thanks to my good hosts Michael and Charley. I tooled around [...]
