ERRAND BOYS
DEC210419

(W) D.J. Kirkbride (A/CA) Nikos Koutsis

In the future, a decent job is hard to find-especially if you’re a hard-worn scoundrel with commitment issues. Jace is a lifelong solo act running dangerous errands for the most questionable of clients. But when his thirteen-year-old half-human half-brother comes to live with him, he’s got two mouths to feed. Between evading the law, running from aliens, and jumping off skyscrapers, the only thing weirder than the vastness of space is family.

Collects the entire run of the comic book series Errand Boys plus new extras for the first time!

AMELIA COLE released 2 days early by Monkeybrain Comics & Comixology!

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!

Thankful for NINJA POETRY

Yes, Thanksgiving is upon us. I am thankful for a great many things (great family, great friends, great ladyfriend, great comics and tv shows, cheese)… but for this post I’d like to single out the release of my new book of ninja poetry called DO YOU BELIEVE IN NINJAS from Creative Guy Publishing! It’s a collection of my ninja poems from over the years plus loads of new ones with delightful illustrations by Chris Moreno!

Product description: A collection of the finest poetry about Ninjas ever collected. Well, at least that we know of – the others are all very very secret. Ever wonder how the modern ninja copes with daily life? Well, you should. Possibly not in the way this poet would have you believe, but then again, who’s to say? Including not one, two, but SEVEN ninja haiku slams, this will be the book that quite possibly gets its author killed in the night…

  • Paperback: 110 pages
  • Publisher: Creative Guy Publishing (November 15, 2010)
  • Language: English
  • ISBN-10: 1894953762
  • ISBN-13: 978-1894953764

No, it’s not as stupid as it sounds. It’s stupider. If this appeals to you, and why shouldn’t it, you should order a copy! Or request it at your favorite bookstore. Or both! It’d make the perfect stocking stuffer assuming it is delivered before Christmas, and, if not — the perfect way to ring in the new year!
