And you can find participating comics shops here. A good time to take someone who you think might like comics because they will walk out with something, and maybe you can buy something while there because those shop owners still had to pay for those free comics. Many of these stores will have artists appearing [...]

I want to see if the THRILLBENT digital comics will embed in my site here with this excellent beginning from James Tynion and Jeremy Rock, The Eighth Seal. Just keep clicking to advance, it’s very effective.

Look at what’s maybe the best list of cartoonists qualified to win the Eisner award in 20 years, here at the Comic-Con site. Names like Colleen Coover, Paul Tobin, Chris Samnee, Nate Cosby and others I’ve seen bring the awesome first hand are all over that list, this will be a ceremony to attend!

My friend Sanford Greene linked to this animation last night from The Animation Workshop of Denmark, it’s well done if you have a few minutes during lunch.

Because- well first let me link to an interview about various books I’m working on or wrapping up over at Newsarama today. Now… Over on Twitter I keep mentioning that news of another project will arrive tomorrow. I’m very excited about it, because I think it can achieve that goal so many have tried to [...]

After the Seattle show, I talked with Cheryl Lynn Eaton and we followed up on some ideas that were discussed at Emerald City, and if you read this site ever you know I’m always happy to talk process. And Cheryl had great questions, our short discussion is up today over at Comics Alliance where she’s [...]

If you can get into the most popular place online today, Comixology and Marvel are giving away 700 number one issues for free. There’s a few of mine in there like ATLAS and X-MEN FIRST CLASS, so give it a shot. Who knew people would turn out for free books? In related website server issues, [...]

Stephen Downey is challenging us all to celebrate and create characters ourselves, and lots of people are posting to Twitter today about it. So I say remember those books over there at the right of the website, which are all original creations by me and my collaborators! Get those new ideas up and running, y’all.

Finally the long-pontificated talk between me and writer David Brothers (@hermanos on Twitter) on writing and working in comics. It will be at the Emerald City Comicon in Seattle at 7pm just as the main hall closes, so before you go out and get rowdy, come to room 3AB. The description: Jeff Parker, writer of [...]

And she says those things to Tim O’Shea at Robot 6 about coloring comic books, which she excels at. I would say she’s had a meteoric rise to fame in the comics industry, but as we clearly learned the other day, meteors do not rise. Jordie does though, especially when she gets fired up about [...]

These could possibly be from a future graphic novel possibly from Oni Press, possibly drawn by Sandy Jarrell, and possibly colored by Kevin Volo. POSSIBLY. We feel the meteorites in Russia were an omen and are taking the opportunity to show them.

I’ll just use my son’s card made for his classmates to VALENTIMES at you. He’s already mastered the non-committal approach to these things. I mainly remember in 2nd grade taking in perforated cards with Ross Andru Batman and characters on them, saying punny things to the recipient. Do those still exist? UPDATE: Chris Samnee wins [...]

My favorite links today are this Robot Roulette at the Robot 6 blog with Fred Van Lente, where he talks about growing up in Bill Watterson’s home town… and this sewing and embroidery webpage where someone didn’t close their html tags and the text goes to a size where it can be read from space.

DC Comics has announced a new book starting in digital and going paper, it’s THE ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN, and I hope you’ll be putting out the word about issue 3 wherein I finally reteam with my super-art-buddy CHRIS SAMNEE for a story! In the meantime, this beautiful Samnee cover colored by Matt Wilson will tide [...]

See, I wasn’t lying, I did more to make that corner a room. If you look at left you can see the Pex water lines I ran, I still need to split them to go to the sink. I moved the power line for the dryer, and still need to wire in a light switch, [...]
