Monkeys VS Robots Podcast: Talking Glitterbomb

Djibril and I chatted with Matthew Sardo over at Monkeys Versus Robots about Glitterbomb, our new creator-owned comic from Image that launches on September 7th. You can listen to the audio below and hear our thoughts on fame and failure with Hollywood as our setting:

Talking Thunderbolts and Bucky With Women Write About Comics

At San Diego Comicon I chatted with Meg Downey from Women Write About Comics all about Thunderbolts and my other comic projects and here’s a transcript of that conversation. It’s one of the most extensive interviews I’ve done so far about working on T-Bolts and it covers a lot of good ground about Bucky, Kobik, the Fixer, and the rest of the team. Give it a read.

Glitterbomb on Newsarama

Newsarama gave GLITTERBOMB #1 a 10/10 in their advance review, and now they have an interview up with Djibril and I as we chat about how the series came about and where it’s heading. Give it a read!

My Mom’s Review of Zootopia (2016)

Marvel.com Talks Thunderbolts!

Two new articles up on Marvel.com all about Thunderbolts, my ongoing monthly superhero series with the Winter Soldier and a gang of trouble-making former criminals trying to do the right thing.

The first one is interview with me about the team facing off against the Squadron Supreme and other problems brewing.

The second is an interview with incoming artist Sean Izaakse about his Thunderbolts issues and what it’s like stepping on board his first work for the Big Two along with a sneak peek at his page art.

Sean and I first teamed up on Dynamite’s Pathfinder series, so I know we’re a good team. I can’t wait for readers to see what Sean has cooking in Thunderbolts #6.

Good-Bye to the Family Cottage

Our lives are changing and the travel bug has bitten Mom and Dad, so they decided to sell their cottage up north. With the closing date imminent, we pulled the family together for a quick overnight trip to see the place one last time.

I have so many memories of going up to the cottage each and every summer as I grew up.

Work and play, family and friends.

In the daytime my brother and I would help Dad clean up the property or go for a hike and then jump in the lake.

In the evening we’d play card games or Scrabble…lots of Dungeons & Dragons too. I’d dream about swords and sorcery and how I might impress my brother with derring-do in our next gaming session. This is where I learned to tell stories.

Lots of happy times were shared there. Lots of tears too.

It was creaky and musty and full of critters, but it was our place on the lake.

As we got older it became harder to fit cottage trips into our busy schedules and the place sat empty longer and longer each year. I know Mom and Dad have made the right choice but it was still really emotional saying good-bye.

Onward we go.

Zub at Gen Con 2016!

This week I’m heading to Indianapolis, Indiana for Gen Con, the best four days in gaming. Tabletop, RPGs, board games, card games, and our little booth jammed full of comics.

Howard Tayler (Schlock Mercenary) and I are once again set up at the show and we’ll have a large selection of our wares. If you’re going to the show, swing by BOOTH #1343!

I’ll have Skullkickers, Wayward, Samurai Jack, and Dungeons & Dragons comics available along with variant covers, sketch covers, and more while supplies last. Get comics signed, get gifts for friends, chat with me about comics, gaming, and all kinds of other good stuff.

In addition, I’ll be on a panel for the Gen Con Writer’s Symposium and signing at the Paizo booth:

Thursday August 4

5:00-6:00pm – Westin Hotel Capital I Meeting Room – Batman VS Superman

Everyone is talking about Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. Is it a triumph? Or a disaster? Our authors explore the controversy from a writer’s point of view (and geek out a little along the way!)

Saturday August 6

3:00-4:00pm – Paizo (BOOTH #103) – Jim Zub Signing

The Paizo booth will have Pathfinder comics for sale, or bring by any of my other comics to get them signed.
