MAXIMUM SIGNING EVENT @ FORBIDDEN PLANET!
Yessiree, I’ll be signing Maximum Minimum Wage at Forbidden Planet, which is practically my alma mater. I’ve been shopping there since the opening day back in ’81. Oh god! That’s a long time ago. But of all its incarnations, this newest is the prettiest and I’m psyched to be having my first FP signing therein! It’s spacious, attractive and welcoming to all (even non-nerds). Come on down and get the book (which will be generously discounted for the event, too!)
Also on deck will be some of the guest artists who contributed all-new pinups to the book.
Plus, debuting their new Image title, Five Ghosts, will be writer Frank Barbiere and artist Chris Mooneyham.
Come on down. Or up. Just be there!

REDDIT/DREADIT AMA WEDNESDAY FEB 13TH
Howdy. I’ve been asked to do one of Reddit’s ASK ME ANYTHING events on Wednesday, February 13th, from 7 – 9PM EST. So, please post questions there and I’ll answer them, within reason. Or without reason. It’s my call. Just do it and keep me from twiddling my thumbs idly.

BUTTLOADS OF MUTANTS
So, my preoccupation with post-apocalyptica doesn’t abate. Over on my art blog I’ve started posting a new post-apocalyptic character pretty much every day. It’s up to 25 as of this post, so go check ‘em out. Heck, subscribe to my Art Blog Thinger. Do it. Here’s a couple to whet your appetite.

BIG NEWS ON THE COMICS FRONT
I am thrilled to announce the upcoming publication of Maximum Minimum Wage, a massive 9 X 12 hardcover incorporating Beg the Question, plus the original 72-page “pilot” graphic novel, Minimum Wage: Book One and the first chapter of its serial run (”Realty Gap”), which wasn’t included in BTQ (for stylistic reasons). All that, plus a color section featuring the cover art from the comic books, sketches and a gallery section of pinups, including all-new ones by Guy Davis, Dave Johnson, Peter Bagge, Dean Haspiel and more (including classic pinups by Mike Mignola, Kevin Nowlan, Dave Cooper, Jill Thompson and more). It will also include surprise bonus material (the “DVD extras,” if you will) to be announced later). This will be THE definitive edition, boasting many newly redrawn panels (and some whole pages), bringing the art up to my current standards. Some of the dialogue has been tweaked, too (as I think I have improved as a writer in the intervening years). It will be released early Spring 2013, from Image Comics, under the aegis of longtime MW fan, friend and comics bigwig, Robert (The Walking Dead) Kirkman. The whole package will weigh in at approximately 372 pages! I am currently working on designing the cover. Here’s a tease. Stay tuned!

Video from Book Court Reading of FTA
Michele and I did a reading (I'd say performance, but that seems a little grandiose) of a small section of FROM THE ASHES at Brooklyn's Book Court, a lovely independent bookshop.
You can't see it here, but she wore her TRASH shirt, proving I didn't make it up.
