Looks like we’ve sprung a little leak here…

W.T.F.???
Yes, this is an early, poorly timed announcement due to the fact that the San Diego Comic Con will fulfill all your comic needs for a while, BUT Adam P. Knave and I collected our AGENTS OF THE W.T.F. stories from POPGUN 3 & 4 into one handy comic that we’ll be selling at the Baltimore Comic Con in August! When the proof copy from Ka-Blam arrived, with that glorious Matteo Scalera art, those crisp Palao Ferrante inks, Antonio Campo‘s lovely colors, Thomas Mauer‘s letters of power, and that Cara McGee book design snazziness — I just had to show it off!
LATE BREAKING NEWS: POPGUN 3 Won An Eisner!
It happened a little over month ago, but I still have a smile on my face… At the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con, POPGUN 3 won the Eisner Award for Best Anthology.
I said in my happily shocked acceptance speech that everyone who worked on the book basically won about 1/80th of an Eisner — but it was more like 1/95th! Holy smokes.

POPGUN 3 Nominated for an Eisner!
Today all of us working on the POPGUN anthologies got some great news: POPGUN Volume 3 received a 2010 Eisner nomination for Best Anthology! Thanks to the 2010 Eisner Judging Panel! Hi fives are due to the editorial team I was lucky enough to work with on this volume: Mark Andrew Smith, Adam P. Knave, Thomas Mauer, Fonografiks, and Joe Keatinge — as well as the fine folks at Image Comics.
And, obviously, we wouldn’t have had a book to put together without the following amazingly talented creators who let us print their awesome comics in the book! Thanks so much and congrats to… (deep breath)…

POPGUN 4 is out today!
Well, today’s the day. After almost a year of working on POPGUN 4 as an editor and contributing writer — we started even before we were done with POPGUN 3 — the book is at finer comic shops and bookstores everywhere.
I’d like to thank all the amazing contributors (on all 4 volumes) and the editorial and production team of the book past and present (Adam! Anthony! Thomas! Jeff! Steven! Tim! Dylan! Mark! Joe!) , as well as the swell folks at Image Comics. Wow. POPGUN 4 is DONE… DONE DONE DONE. 512 pages of awesome wrapped in a beautiful cover for only 30 bucks.
Almost 2000 pages of POPGUN since 2007. Whew!
Okay, time to party tonight… Hope you all enjoy the book!
