    So I Went To HEROESCON

    Okay, I never do this anymore, but HeroesCon 2010 was the deal, so I need to write some of it down before I forget it all. Another triumph for retailer Shelton Drum! I began the way I would end, incoherent, because I wisely chose to take a midnight flight across country. So if I seemed [...]

    I’m Back from Florida, We Have a Winner

    First I want to thank my gracious host while I was in Orlando, Casey Jones and his superfamily. I got plenty of sleep, entertainment and Chik-Fil-A (except on Sunday) during my Florida trip this weekend. Carolla podcasts got listened to, and Flight of the Conchords songs were played. It was good times all around. And [...]

    Pat Sun’s Proof that HeroesCon 09 Happened

    I wasn’t there, but Pat Sun was at Heroes, and if you were there, odds are good you’re in his Flickr photo sets. You can see the pieces that were being done for the famous Heroes auction, lots of costumes (like Scarlet Witch, who was well-documented in almost everyone’s photos) and some good shots of [...]

    HEROES Convention This Weekend! For YOU.

    One of the all time great comics shows, Heroes is happening in Charlotte, NC this weekend, and I won’t be there. Which eats me, I hate missing that show but I’ve got deadlines to make and it’s not as easy to get to now that I live in the Northwest. I plan to return next [...]

    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 [...]

    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 [...]

    SDCC 08 DAY 1: Here Comes ATLAS

    Ohhh my… I am the tired. As I’ve said before, every day is what Saturday used to be like at this show. Me can’t process it all. The first thing on the agenda was going to sign at Dave Bullock (and Darwyn Cooke and Cameron Stewart)’s booth, where Dave gave away these gorgeous Sentry posters [...]

    SDCC-08 NIGHT ONE

    I have no idea what’s at the show yet, I caught a late flight to get here. But if my travel has any omen qualities, it’s going to be great. After Gentleman Kieron Dwyer gave me a ride to the airport (and laughed, ‘later chump’), I got on the first non-booked-to-capacity flight that I’ve been [...]

    Jeff Parker Comicon International Schedule

    I’ll probably leave this up here at the top all next week as I try to make deadlines before the show. Drop a comment if you think you’ll be going to San Diego and might see me. Most of my appearances are piled onto Thursday (I may not come in at all Saturday, it’s a [...]

    Other Seattle Notes

    I meant to post the rest of my memories of the Emerald City show this weekend, but now it’s all gone. Thanks for nothing, brain! But my studio, PERISCOPE did haikus of the experience and in a way that tells you much more than if I’d had a digital camera and took notes. I do [...]

    Stumptowned and Art Battled

    Spring finally remembered where Portland was this weekend, just in time for the Stumptown Comics Fest. That’s right, it wasn’t a CON, it was a FEST. And it was full of great work. What I liked best is that artists don’t try to mug you to look at their work like when you walk through [...]

    STUMPTOWN COMICS FEST!

    Hey people who can get to the Northwest, this weekend is the Stumptown Comics Fest! Tomorrow and Sunday at the Lloyd Center Doubletree Hotel in Portland, Oregon from 10am to 6pm; $6 each day. I will be cruising the floor incognito. Spot and identify me and you’ll get a no-prize. I might sometimes sit for [...]

    Back among U.S. Americans

    Back from Calgary, thanks to show host Stephen Fuller for keeping us alive and constantly plying us with meat dishes such as they enjoy in Alberta. A few new people picked up Atlas and Interman, so the word is spreading on those fronts.. Matthew Clark was fully booked up with sketch requests, and of course [...]

    Calgary Sunday

    Don’t forget, Canadians, I’ll be at the Calgary Comics and Toy Expo at McMahon Stadum this Sunday. Matthew Clark will be there, I’m sure of it because he flew in with me. Also you can meet J. Torres, Pop Mhan, Marcus To, and Dario Carrasco. Once again I was detained in Immigration at Vancouver Airport, [...]
