Thinkin' on WOLVERINE

WOLVERINE: WEAPON X #5 is out today, which wraps up the first arc with explosions and sharks, and of course more laser claws and stabbity stab stab. There are big plans afoot for the ole Canucklehead, and this arc was just the beginning, laying the groundwork for what I hope will be the next few years worth of Wolverine stories. My first job in comics came in the pages of WOLVERINE, so me and the hairy little bastard go way back. I've written him several times over the last few years...

SCALPED thoughts

Working on SCALPED #35 today, which will have this cover when it comes out in January. It'll be a good way to start the year off.

Do Some Damage likes SCALPED

From Do Some Damage: An Inside Look at Crime Fiction:
