Posted on by

Well, this was one heckuva day! I was excited that Chris Roberson & Allison Baker were announcing the Monkeybrain Comics titles to the press, so that I could start letting people know that my new comic book with co-writer Adam P. Knave, artist Nick Brokenshire, and letterer Rachel Deering was going to be a part of this awesome company. What I didn’t know, what none of us knew, was that the books would be released two days early today, too!

That’s right! AMELIA COLE AND THE UNKNOWN WORLD issue 1 is available now over at Comixology, along with the other awesome Monkeybrain comics! It’s $1.99 for 28 pages of story plus the snazzy cover shown above.

Click on these words you are reading for a 6 page preview of AMELIA COLE AND THE UNKNOWN WORLD issue 1. If you like what you see, and I hope you do, please buy this wacky comic book, and let me know what you think!

The Wednesday after the monster that is the San Diego Comic-Con, I’ll be joining Jim Mahfood and some of the most talented folks at the great Titmouse Animation studio for a signing part at one of my favorite comic shops ever, Meltdown Comics. It’s great to have a story (co-written by Adam P. Knave, illustrated by Vassilis Gogtzilas, and lettered by Jeff Powell) in this snazzy book.  Press release below!

The best Comic-Con party this year will be on Wednesday, July 18 at 6pm, at the infamous Meltdown Comics (7522 Sunset Blvd., LA, CA 90046).

Join the artists of Titmouse Mook 2 and Jim Mahfood as he drops his latest Everybody Loves Tank Girl book. They’ll be signing stuff, eating sausages from the Wien Truck, and generally kicking back after a long weekend in San Diego.

Come see me at the Image Expo February 24-26!

It blows my mind that Image Comics first blew my mind 20 years ago. TWENTY YEARS!!!

In celebration, they are rocking out their own convention, and I’m happy to report I’ll be there! If you’re attending (and if you’re near or able to get to Oakland, love comics, independent spirit, creativity, and good times, you should), please stop by table 304! I’ll be signing and selling what is probably my last batch of the Eisner and Harvey award winning POPGUN anthologies, copies of the AGENTS OF THE W.T.F. one-shot, and, of course, DO YOU BELIEVE IN NINJAS? (All linked for those of you who can’t make it to the Expo.) If that wasn’t enough, awesome ALPHA GIRL, DARK HORSE PRESENTS, and POPGUN artist Robert Love will also be making a guest appearance at the table, which is even more incentive to stop by!

Celebrate creativity! Celebrate comics! Buy my books so I don’t have to lug them back home!
