Back to "The Imitation Game"

I've let the Turing script mellow to its full flavor consistency for a month, and am now heading into the rewrite stage. Meaning, I'm sure the flavor is not quite right yet.

In the interim, besides doing the normal things that make up normal life -- day job, paying taxes, seeing family, etc. -- I read 13 novels and story collections, 2 non-fiction books, and 4.25 (I'm a quarter of the way through Urasawa's Pluto) graphic novels.

Jim Ottaviani at TCAF, May 8-9 in Toronto

I've been invited back to the Toronto Comics Art Festival, and as I told the National Post , I couldn't be happier because (a) any excuse to visit Toronto is a good one, (b) a Festival of Comics is a better excuse than most, and (c) a Festival of Comics held in a Toronto Library is almost heaven.

I'll be there selling books, giving away posters and Quantum Zombies business cards, and I'm also scheduled for a panel on research in comics. I hope to see you there...I can't wait.

Jim Ottaviani at C2E2, April 16-18 in Chicago

C2E2 is a new show, so I don't know exactly what to expect, but I look forward to it! I'll be set up at booth 625, which is Haven's "Indy Island."

The guest list is terrific, and Chicago is a great comics town. So, I hope you'll drop by.
