I'ma Light the Bat Signal!

Josh Elder wrote me into a Batman Strikes comic! And you can buy it today!

Here's Gordon asking me to do an important job:


Yeah. I know. My name isn't spelled right. But still! I like to think I'm that tall, blonde, Nazi-looking cop.

I just want to point out that between Chris Sims, Dave Campbell and I, I definitely get the coolest job.

So there you go! Getting married is only the second most exciting thing to happen to me this week!

This is Batman Strikes #47, just to be clear. And it's a lot of fun!

Oh Carolina

There is an article about me in this week's issue of The Coast, the local alternative weekly paper. You can check it out online here.

I am off to Charlotte, NC tomorrow morning for HeroesCon! As I mentioned before, I have never been to a con before, so I am very excited. I have no idea what to expect, but I am sure I will have lots of fun and meet lots of cool people.

I am going to be hanging out at The Dollar Bin's table in the Indie Island section. I am bringing buttons and 'zines to promote the blog. If you're at the con, come say hi! I'd love to meet y'all. And if I'm not at their table, I'm probably following Steve Epting around asking him to describe in great detail exactly how he draws Winter Soldier's muscles.

Upon returning from this trip, I am going to be making a few changes to the blog. For one, I am going to drop the whole "This Week's Haul" reviews thing because it's obvious I can't keep on top of it. And it's kinda boring anyway. Instead I'm going back to a looser format where I just recommend things I like, and make fun of things that deserve to be made fun of. I mean, obviously Daredevil is an awesome comic and everyone should read it. I don't really have to say that every month, do I?

Alright. I'm outta here. I'll post some pictures of my trip when I get back. I'm so excited!! I'm gonna eat so much pit BBQ!

Hear Me Talk!

Ok, so I totally failed to post anything on my actual birthday. It actually turned out to be a busy day, what with the First Annual Rachelle's Birthday Soccer-Baseball Match, the booze, chapters 13-22 of Trapped in the Closet, and the karaoke. In all the excitement I forgot to post.

But now I have a reason to!

This week The Dollar Bin's weekly podcasts feature...ME! If you want to hear my squawky boyish voice, then please click on this link.

Stay tuned for more me on their Wednesday show when we talk about super hunks. I appreciate that three guys were patient enough to discuss hunky superheroes with me. Thanks, guys!

So now I am 27 years old. 27, I have always thought, is a very cool number. An aesthetically pleasing number. Perhaps because it belonged to aesthetically pleasing NHL defenseman, Mathieu Schneider:

Hey, baby.

Alright, I need to tuck into some Harry Potter and go to bed. I'll leave you with a Superman panel that caught him during his new age phase:

New Stolen Minks Video!

Ben Jeddrie, talented animator, artist and writer about town, made my band an amazing new video! It just went up on YouTube last night. For whatever reason, YouTube isn't letting me post video directly to by blog today, so here's the link:

Totally Amazing Video!

Man, I love it so much.

There won't be a Super Hunk Rating post this week because I am driving up to Moncton to see the White Stripes today. Just watch the video over and over again in my absence.

I wrote a thing for Newsarama and it's on Newsarama right now! I'm a big shot!

I wrote about why I love superhero friendships for their I Heart Comics blog feature. Check it out!

And here's a panel that didn't make the cut:


In other I-am-totally-famous news, the latest issue of Mother Jones features a really good article by Charlie Anders about Supergirl and other women in comics. People quoted in the article are Gail Simone, Kurt Busiek, Brian K Vaughan...and me. They don't mention the name of my blog, but clearly it's because I am a household name.
