Zub at Emerald Comicon 2017!
Emerald City Comicon celebrates their 15th anniversary and once again I’ll be there as a guest premiering new books and meeting readers! Look for me at TABLE V-3 on the 6th floor Artist Alley level.

Glitterbomb Vol.1 Red Carpet and Wayward Vol.4: Threads and Portents both arrive in stores this week and I’m eager to sign copies. There’s also be a limited edition convention exclusive version of Glitterbomb Vol. 1 available with stunning cover art by Eisner-nominated creator Ray Fawkes (One Soul, Intersect).

Join Katie Cook (My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic) and Jim Zub (Thunderbolts) for their fan-favorite con horror stories panel!
